Poems from HY-PHEN

I am a high school senior, and an aspiring singer, actor, and performer. I write poetry from my heart, and much of it is on the fly. When I really think, I impact. I want my material to make people think, give a solution, and bring critical issues in today's society and generation to the forefront and be dealt with in the times we live in. I believe we have a responsibility to give back to whatever community we identify within a constructive and progressive movement for better unity and productivity. I mainly write poetry about love, hope, suicide prevention, and different issues concerning the Millennial Generation. I'm here to be the change I wanna see in the world. **Disclaimer: Some of my poems do deal with homosexual feelings and relations. Although I do not identify as gay, I do not discriminate because you can't come from one side where stones are being thrown at it, and then come out of it just to join those throwing the stones. I write based on past experiences, inspiration, and truth. I completely respect anyone's opinion, as I would like you to. Thank you.**
Can you take my crazy?
Can you understand the voices that can't help but put me down?
Shun me from my self, turn my smile to a frown
You...
I wish I was okay
But I'm not
I wish things weren't this way
But they are
Tell me this much
Not just enough to leave you alone
Tell me...
Wake up, you're up
Brushing your teeth, fixing the sheets
Downstairs, upstairs
Breakfast made, not running late
When I say your suit...
I fell in love at a bus stop
I fell in love and came out on top
I fell for him and it was my fault
I fell in love at a bus stop
Across...
Choose your fights wisely
Choose your fights kindly
Kindle a fire to see
Burn it out with peace
Shallow seas
Hollow trees
Death inside...
