My Cup Of Tea

I'm an 18 year old girl in Rural America. I write to stay sane. Sometimes my poetry blows people away, sometimes it's just me venting. I've been writing since I was really young. Literature has been a safe haven for me.I have daddy issues. I have never smoked. I hate parties. I love reading. Words are my one escape from reality.I bear my soul on here, this is the one place I can be completely honest. This is my safe haven. I leave for college this fall. I have no idea which college.... but I leave for college in the fall. Ask me anything. add my fb https://www.facebook.com/margaret.howson my twitter @marghowson

Dyspnea

meader:

I dreamt of you all last night.

You were walking away from me for hours, choking on a chain-link leash.

I was never quite sure if you realized you held the lead, not I,

But you kept calling out to me anyway;

your voice gently fading yet your image immaculate.

Your lungs finally gave out after innumerable whispers

so in mercy I attempted to sever the tether.

I have never heard a scream so loud

as that of your freedom.

I awoke exhausted, and ever since,

silence eludes me.
