This night I suffered much from thoughts
As they abused me without thought
I suffered much more than I thought
As now they haunt me
I can’t help but glance
And often look back
Your presence overwhelms me and makes it hard to breath
Forgive me for my act of coldness and my lack of interest
I will achieve my dreams
I will achieve all A’s
I will beat the numbers
I hold my future in my hands
Will I cultivate it to flourish or die?
I didn’t mind loneliness until I did
Though better said, is “not noticed”
My plan to go to online school
To get ahead and have more fun
Is love sweet?
Is it soft and light?
Could such a thing truly make you blind?
To truth, to life and honesty
And even love for your family
Warm water
A kind breeze
A time of peace
Blooming Flowers
Sand under my feet
Short un-meddlesome hair to my shoulders
How do I find you? In this world that seems so big
I read the books but lack the action
I read the books and dream the scenes
I read the books and want the feeling
Like the sun and moon
endlessly chasing after one another
giving warmth, one moment
a piercing bone chilling cold in the next
i chase after you still
my voice reaches out,
but I am not heard
I want to talk for hours with you.
I want to hear your voice.
I want to be near and dear to you.
I want you to protect me from the voices in my mind.
I’m not a poet.
I have tried writing poetry before
And it never worked out.
But if I decided, one day, that I wanted
To become a poet, all my poems
I look at you and I see so much you have hidden from others and the world.All your pain, the untold fears, the scars and even the thought of deathhas plagued your mind once upon a time.I speak to you looking in your eyes,
A message comes out of nowhere...
"Hey girl, what are you up to rn?"
Seems perfectly safely unsafe, but I answer anyways.
"Oh, you know, nothing much."
Loving you came in waves.
At first, the water only touched my toes
With text messages and winking emojis
Then the water was to my ankles
You texted me every day,
It didn't matter what we talked about
Seeking a connection to you is like reaching out to grab the air.
As I fall down a 20 foot cliff.
-Where are you now?
I wish I was as talented as you
I wish I could act like you
I wish I could use my fire, my desire, to fuel myself like you
I'm not as creative as you
What will you do
Who will you be
Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow seems like an eternity
But so
How do I make my choice
Which way do I go
The easy way out
Rather than to stay and suffer
the hopeless romantic came out in me.
such a short time it took for me to realize what I wanted.
it’s funny, though, because I assumed through your soft words and gentle actions that it came out in you, too.
Again.
It came crashing down on my windowsil.
Raking, tapping, billowing.
It clouded my thoughts, yet cleared them too.
It reminded me of you.
You give me tears, you give me love, but there's more you do that lifts my heart, eve
I want to pound my head into the floor.
I want to pound my lips into yours.
I want you to cut me open-
See my raw, blistered heart
And hold it in your hands.
I want to be enough to clear your airways.
This is what happens when I speak my mind.
"All you do is complain all the time."
This is why I can't be me.
Because, you see, to me, my life is just not complete.
My experience with love is
painful
unforgettable
betrayal
Eight months making
memories
moments
music
Proving people wrong with clashing
thoughts
personalities
I look around but see no one,At least no one that I have knownFor here in this forgotten world
You see, he was once a man;
Whole.
He was a body and a soul;
But his soul seems to have left him
And only the shell remains.
The music of war is all he hears.
When you laugh from afar,
I have no choice but to wonder who made you do so.
I grow envious of that person,
Whoever it may be,
Though her lips say she doesn't,
her eyes say she still does
love him.
She looks at him like
she looks at
no one else.
It's cliché,
but her eyes do sparkle
and light up
Days,
Weeks,
Months,
They pass.
And I wait.
I wait on you.
I wait on a FaceTime,
A call,
Some word.
But you don't call.
You don't FaceTime,
You send no word.
if and only do not mix,
but me and you do.
what and if don't belong together,
but me and you do.
life isn't always perfect,
but me and you are.
everyone isn't always loved,
but me and you are.
My Haven that once used to be, is no longer.The once familiar place, has vanished.Locks and keys with no match,A maze filled with no exits, no entrances, no answers.
The morning came
And everything was the same, except it wasn’t.
You hear voices
But you don’t know what they’re saying.
Everything you once knew before
Is lost like your football t-shirt from middle school.
I’m the English nerd
Never having enough Shakespeare on hand
analyzing movie plots as if they were books
wondering if in reality
we are just a story with a destiny
with some author out there
Back and forth I go,
Swinging to and fro,
As the world spins below,
For a reason I do not know.
Pumping my legs and gaining height.
Thinking that the spinning would stop and hoping that it might.
Dreaming
Wanting
Achieving
Poetry gives me meaning
It inspires me
Poetry in music
Gets me through the day
It's the reason I am breathing
It's the reason I am going to college
The hands of time slowed down and opened onto a scene.
There stands a man with his shadow casted over a small form.
