Amanda Saveley Poems

Brother, my brother,
How selfish was I
While you seemed to struggle,
I sat idly by
...

Who I am...
Is beyond my
Hair
Eyes
...

You act as if you're superior
When your ignorance makes you inferior
You've been complimented one too many times, dear
And wonder why it is no one holds you dear
...

Yes, I am THAT kid...
The crazy kid...
The kid who says whatever they want
Without thought to anyone
...

Sad incident, tragic fate,
You openeth the teary gate
You let loose stories of senseless hate
Before closing again
...

I should not be concerned with taking pictures of flowers.
Nor picking out flowers for my wedding that may never be.
I should be laying flowers on your grave, so cold, so cold...
...

The day is hot, but I'm cold inside
With all this I'm trying to hide
I'm calculating an equation
As to your recent evasion
...

I finally got that kiss I wanted but would never admit to wanting
Because wanting kisses are crazy and crazy just won't do.
But I got it,
As the rain was falling hard
...

I am not your scene queen,
Your emo whiner,
Child of neverending political outrage
I am not your entertainment,
...

Religion:
I hate it
Not hating God, that is.
I just hate Religion
...
