Shana

Organizing my thoughts, one poem at a time.

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

It's beautiful how
The little details
Stick out the most
And it's beautiful when
Laughter is heard
Often and loud
It's beautiful
Wherever connection is found
And it's beautiful
Because it's everything

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

Not for the weak
Haven't you heard me speak?
Heard me talk?
Seen me walk?
Haven't you felt my aura?
What's a shot caller gonn do with some punk?
Same thing Marie Kondo do with some junk
If it doesn't spark joy or fire,
It's simply not something you require

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

Drafted a bit
Yeah, I thought up some words
Crafted a bit
Let it sit
Let it linger for days
Brewing
Snapped back to reality
Got out of that mentality
Then deleted it
Retreated it back to safety
Back to home base
Tryna be more selective with my phone space

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

You thought you could pull shit
But every move was pussy
Lacking guts
Spineless
Better find your nuts
Your karma will be timeless

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

Gotta keep writing
Fighting thru everything I dread
Everything I said
I meant it
Everything you said
You bent it
Twisted it
I thought it out
Listed it
Found holes in the narrative
Gaps in the logic
Something smells toxic
And fishy
I just wanted you to miss me
With that bullshit

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

But if you trashed it
Broke the home and bashed it
Took my heart and smashed it
If you ever made me bleed
Then it was readily repossessed
Heavily saged and blessed
Definitely readdressed
Then freed
Opened up to a higher breed

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

If I hold a place for you
That means I made a space for you
At some point in time
In some corner of my mind
I granted you property
And if you handled it properly
Then you still hold the deed

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

But what does it mean??
I feel like Jack Skellington
Tryna understand something
That was never explained to me

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

Let's shoot pool
Or shoot the shit
And sit around a fire
Let's talk about what we desire
And how we feel
Let's keep it real
Or keep it quiet
Let's start a cyph
Or start a riot

Does anyone come to your house to wash your dishes?
As a form of payment
Does anyone apologize?
For a wrong so blatant?

I'm having writer's block
My notebook's dusty
The right words, out of stock
And my rhythm, rusty
My thoughts, unstable
I love it when someone says 'trust me'
I'm a fan of fables
Yeah, real fond of tales
A good story is all I need
Some breadcrumb trails

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

But what happens when breadcrumbs fail?
And paths lead nowhere?
What happens when you hit a dead end?
And you scream out 'no fair'?
Does anyone hear you?
Does anyone care?
Does a genie appear to you?
Right out of thin air?
To grant your wishes?

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

All the hateful glares
Devious stares
All my labored breathin
The tight knots & clots in my chest
My ill-fated bated breaths
Those long term feels
Drivin on broken wheels
Those slow yet sudden deaths
Those past tingz
All those I-never-thought-I'd-get-passed tingz
They led me here

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

All those scars on my back
From all those knives
All those lives I've blessed for free
All those times I've stressed
And no one stressed for me
All those empty lines
Those subtle sighs
All that quiet screaming
All that useless noise
Those tainted joys
All that wasted dreaming

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

I was looking for a while
And I found Nemo
Guess I'm Dory
So that's that
Til I have another story

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

No poems for a minute
Did you miss it?
Did you note it?
Sometimes I remember
How I wrote it
How it flowed
How all my best work
Contains code
And hidden feeling
No longer in that mode
Guess I'm healing
Guess I'm happy
My favorite art comes from sadness
Guess I'm sappy
Kinda emo

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

A piece a pizza?
Nahhh
Just a piece a peace, please
Hold the grease, please
Let the chaos cease, with ease please
Feel the breeze, please
Then cheese

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

Tú sabe' que eres mía
Best on earth like bia
Everytime I see ya
I feel found

Cada día
Hay alegría
Me das la permanencia
Safe and sound

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

Karma's like Sam
From Jersey shore
Sweetest bitch you'll ever meet
She can be ruthless
But at her core
All she wants to do is treat
So stahhhhhpit Ron
She can't take no more
She be sensitive bout her feet
You wanna start a storm?
She gonn make it pour
& I'll watch and take a seat

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

And just when I thought disaster hit
The sun came out
And the clouds retreated
The light never fails
It's undefeated

[Shana @thoughtsremain]

No rushing
That's for fools
But mad blushing
There's no rules for that
So now my face mad red
And my cheeks hurt a bit
It's not simply what you said
But how you worded it
I thought I spoke my own language
But you heard of it
Learned of it
Mastered it
