Who Knew Poetry

I'm Amanda. I'm a "struggling actor" based in New York. I like to pretend I am a secret poet. Maybe I am, maybe not. Either way, it's fun.

Shut up and stumble

Back from the brink

Those words left you crumbled

And slipping you sink

Acting a version

More crass than your own

And losing the love

Of the seeds you have sown

Winter comes fiercly

To crack all your greens

And chap your cracked lips

And slice all your seams

Insides are outside

You’re staying indoors

And beds are for dreamers

Face graces the floor

Down where the dirt and the lower lives live

Heaving and hurting

You’ve nothing to give

Wishing for stable

Your heart is a weight

And waiting is dying

And dying is fate.
