I was born on July 27th. I hear that makes me a Leo. I have no idea what that actually means. Iʼm 5ʼ6”. I weigh 145 lbs. I donʼt know how to swim, and Iʼm a sucker for a girl with a nice smile and clean sneakers Iʼm still learning how to whisper. Iʼm often loud in places where I should be quiet. Iʼm often quiet in places where I should be loud. I was born feet first and Iʼve been backwards ever since. I like ginger ale… a lot. I’ve been told that I give really bad hugs. People say it feels like Iʼm trying to escape; most of the time it’s because I am. Secretly I get really nervous every time someone gets close enough to hear me breathe. I have this odd fascination with things like sand castles and ice sculptures. I assume itʼs because I usually find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments. Thatʼs also why I tend to fall in love with women who will never love me back, and I know that sounds crazy but itʼs actually easier than it seems. And to be honest I think itʼs safer that way. You see, relationships, they often remind me that Iʼm not afraid of heights or falling, but I am scared to death of everything thatʼs going to happen the very moment that my body hits the ground. Iʼm clumsy. Yesterday I tripped over my self-esteem, I landed on my pride, and it shattered like an iPhone with a broken face. Now I canʼt even tell whoʼs trying to give me a compliment. See, Iʼve never been in the military, but I have this purple heart; I got it from beating myself up over things I canʼt fix. And I know this sounds weird, but sometimes I wonder what my bed sheets say about me when iʼm not around. I wonder what the curtains would do if they found out about all the things iʼve done behind their back. I’ve got a hamper thatʼs overflowing with really, really loud mistakes, and a graveyard in my closet. Iʼm afraid that if I let you see my skeletons, youʼll grind my bones into powder and get high off my fault lines. Hi, my name is Rudy. I enjoy frozen yogurt, people watching, and laughing for absolutely no reason at all, but I donʼt allow myself to cry as often as I need to. I have solar power confidence, and a battery operated smile. My hobbies include: editing my life story, hiding behind metaphors, and trying to convince my shadow that Iʼm someone worth following. You see, I donʼt know much but I do know this: I know that heaven is full of music, and I know that God, He listens to my heartbeat on his iPod. It reminds him… that we still got work to do
This poem is amazing! Omg! "I'm afraid if I let you see my skeletons you'll grind my bones into powder & get high on my flaws" you are a lyricists! If you're not already published then it's in your future because you are truly talented
I looked up to you you expired me to write poems in the way that I didn't know I could you expired me to write so many things in one word and I hope you read this because I thank you so much because the way you use your words it's like magic but with beautiful words and that's the precious thing about writing
