Exposure

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Grinding graphite

crushing under

The pressure

Leaving my impression

For all time

Fossilized on these lines

Are the moments

I stole from life

I hide them away

in this notebook

The one’s I wanna remember

And some I can’t forget

The forevers and never agains

Archived in rhyme

The ages

Piled on top of the pages

Turning them to stone

On the surface you know

The real beauty is

Hidden deep in the grain

Like the veins running

Through a mountain

You have to follow their path

Carved by my pen

The high and lows

To know the depths

of these words

Tweedledum

Written By Destiny Bergeron

She would think I was crazy

She’d say you see

I was right

you’re out your mind

And i’d reply

The same way

I do everytime

If crazy is

thinking you’re amazing

Than I guess I am

If holding on to what we had

Makes me mad

Than i’ll wear that hat

You can go pretending

I don’t exist

But don’t surprised when

We see each other again

And I say the same thing

I rather live in the reality

That you still love me

I’ll play Allice

As long as you’re my wonderland

I’ll chase that disappearing smile

Until the queen of hearts calls for my exile

Climate

Written by Destiny Bergeron

It’s a part of me

As critical as an artery

The need is involuntary

What it pumps out

Gives me this relief

Makes all the things

Building up in my life

pushing me back

Or holding me down

My pen gatherers and stores

Then like rain it falls down

Onto this page

What once

Was chaos

Is now a poem

And the pressure is just gone

Time

Written by Destiny Bergeron

It’s always ticking

Never slows or quickens

You think if you start running

You may be able to get ahead of it

But it’s relentlessly constant

Closing in on your existence

It never sleeps will catch up

to you as you dream

Snatching you back to reality

like tic toc b@*#h it’s me

You could run your whole life

But everyone runs outta time

Pinky & The Brain

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Never been the one to stand still

Even if I’m not going anywhere

I run in circles till I fall face first

When I’m able to move forward

I over think every step

I forget all things I said

When I was sick

of the same old thing

Wishing for change

to come save me

I miss knowing what’s

around every turn

and the familiar failures

When I realized that’s we exist

why we can always reignite something out of nothing

over and over again

Like mice spinning our wheels

We can’t tell its not real

Queens Verdict

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Please don’t say sorry
Apologies are like
someone breaking your heart
then trying to help you
pick up the pieces
I don’t care about your reasons
Just start leaving
we aren’t even me and you anymore
Loving me is such a rarity
You should go down in history for getting the best of me
But with all honesty
I’m ashamed that I placed
so much of my own life in your hands
I’m not someone you take for granted
So don’t try to defend your actions
I’m being cordial trying to
Save some dignity
To this mess you created
Yes you did, not sorry, not stupidity
I am a queen, remember
you’re the one that showed me
I am royalty
I do not lay with
the ignorant or sorry,
Therefore you are no longer
worthy of loving me
So just leave

Mirror

Written By Destiny Bergeron
I grip the pen

Knowing I might not

Be able to handle

The words

Storming in

I brace for the worse

The flow thickens

The darker it gets

It’s like my pen sticks

To the page,

It hurts the words

That I didn’t have the strength

to say

Paper soaked in

my never agains

It’s amazing sometimes

These words of mine

What I find

When the page is

staring back at me

It’s not always

what I want to see

But it’s me

Blindsided

Written by Destiny Bergeron

To left

to right

Get in line

Don’t try to speak

Of a different side

You’ll be criticized

And scrutinized

It’s a waste of time

You may be right

You could be

Screaming the truth

From the middle

But everyone else

Is too far away

to hear you

We can’t function

Like this

If we’re divided

Well never be able

to move forward

We have to remember

The great evils we’ve overcame

The Authors of Freedom

America needs us

To step up

I know we all are different

Everyone is

Our troops have been forgotten

The longest war in our history

Silenced by facebook

And Twitter

And mainstream media

refusal to report on it

We might not be able to agree

On gun control

Or immigration

Our Soldiers, our

Friends, mothers, sisters, fathers, brothers,

Are dying in an endless war

let us come together to bring

Our loved ones home

And End the never-ending War

Evolution

Written by Destiny Bergeron

Thought I was stuck

I’ve had enough

Got pushed to the edge

There was nothing left

But to lose it

And… that I did

Jumped right off

Like this is it

Fell forever

Till I realized

I was flying

Not Falling

Didn’t know all the pain

Was training me

To keep going

So when the ground

Started crumbling

I tried to outrun it

Ran till the earth ended

Thought I was out of options

So I just did what

I always do and kept going

Karma is always watching

And I must of done something

That granted me these wings

Looking down on things that

Use to be me

knowing what it is

to be free

Kryptonite

My words can get pretty graphic,

When she’s the topic,

I am transfixed

In her lips,

Lost in her grip,

All sinces are redirected

towards her direction,

She knows I’m helpless

and plays with my ambitions,

I wanna know her every secret,

Search her like an unknown world,

Learn  the language of her soul,

Explore the parts of her

that make her beautiful,

Try to make her feel a fraction

of the reaction her love causes,

She is the variable that completes

my equation,

I could go on for pages

but it would all have the same reasoning,

She’s completely amazing.
