I think it’s time to let you go
I wish this healing process wasn’t so slow
It’s scary being with out you
Now who do I call
when the days have been long
Catch 22I rather be mute, than misinterpreted Because I take pride in understanding. But the less I say gives off more of a-misunderstanding.
You’re fast asleep under the covers of my bed,
I lay down next to you, lightly stroking the curls on your head.
one snore, two snores, three
I’m counting your breath, hoping it never leaves.
When you are born it's dark
Then comes the light
You eventually learn to walk
and stay up late at night
Growing up has stages
You start as a child
You start to go through phases
I always wake up with the thought that I will be someone great
Just to realize im living a world where happiness declines
then i Iie away
on a daily just to get up and do the great stare-
There is an unspoken fear
Of the fear that lies within.
Of the fear boiling in my veins,
Of the fear peeling back my eyelids at 1 a.m.
I say nothing.
There is an unspoken fear
Of the fear that lies within.
Of the fear boiling in my veins,
Of the fear peeling back my eyelids at 1 a.m.
I say nothing.
Pale skin like cream
Brown hair like coffee
Smile so sweet
Sugar would be salty
You’re my caffeine in the morning
When I look into your eyes
Robust like hazelnut
Darkness It’s what separates the good from evil It’s the lack of good and the lack of light It’s the feeling that creeps inside of you when you least expect it It’s a force strong enough to bring the strongest man to his kneesIt’s enough to drive
Boobs
Why must you bounce
While I go down
The stairs of my house.
It fucking hurts my back.
Thanks.
Dear Destroyer of Motivation,
You are a shapeshifter. A manipulator.
You can appear harmless,
like a sweet humming in my ear.
You can be found anywhere.
In phones, my bed, the stars.
You are limitless.
I’m stuck here alone and broke, just my luck,
What can I say? Growing up sucks,
I’m getting fat because all I do is snack,
Don’t grow up, it’s a trap,
A heart is as big as you want it to be
Say it again?
A heart is as big as you let it grow like wool on a sheep.
Hearts are fragile and can't prepare theirselves.
Mostly, it's the brain doing the work.
hypocrites! If you look up the definition you'll find
"A person who indulges in hypocrisy"
Okay, well thank you, Google.
So if you look up the definition of "hypocrisy," you find it is
I'm not a mastermind of a poet,
and no one needs to tell me this
because I know it.
I write whats on my mind,
with the intention of clearing my own sky,
because I need it.
Blue sky, black clouds,
Cute pets, hype crowds
The many thoughts we have and never speak aloud
Good grades, sweet crushes
high school sweethearts in they're lucky
Anxiety:A seven letter word thatKnocks the wind out of me every timeI am called to attention
As I stand inside this room
I can feel the darkness loom
Deep inside my broken heart
My guilty soul tears me apart.
And I cannot describe the pain
It does not sting or lightly maim
Everybody seems to see right through me
anything I ever do
is just for their benefit
because me, I always receive the deficit.
That may be why
I hide up in my little shell
with me, myself and I
Relationships started as a crush
A friend, a stranger, maybe even love at first sight.
You know what ticks me off?
How people can be so cold
Dirty looks and a lousy greeting
I'm new to this place, it's my first meeting
All I want is a simple smile
I'd like to see that every once in awhile
A bunch of unanswered questions, worried thoughts about the future, and even the difficult decision that every young teenage girl goes through daily "What should I wear tomorrow?''.
Tell me how could real eyes realize real lies, when you're the one who's always walking blind?
You wak with yor head held high in t sk wth such pride, and have the nerve to say that you're "the realest man alive."
Unable to socialize
had a hard time fitting in
Never seem to get noticed
even by smallest living thing.
Used to look in the mirror
and study myself hard
asking painful questions
I later regret.
The memories reply over and over in my head
Your laughter intermingled with mine
And mine with yours
Running and squealing
Joking and Jumping
But all of it isn’t real.
You joke around and act
run little baby girl, let the wind and the sirens comfort you as you go, run as fast as you can, get as far away as you can
it's okay, it's not like the others will ever understand
Monday morning; wake up, wonder the outcome of todays day, ariive at school
Monday afternoon; eat, life thoughts, drink milk, more life thoughts
Sometimes,
letting go seems necessary,
like I have no other choice
but to let my fears and problems-
swallow me whole.
Sometimes,
I'd look in the mirror
and study myself hard,
Life is a mystery
full of surprises
You'll never know
what's going to happen
so just live through it.
Count your days
count your blessings
count your mistakes
before your life
You're as clear as glass
and the nastiest mess;
You have different personalities
and about thirty masks;
You guide others throug the dungeon
with nothing to see;
You're heart's darker than ebony
Just like any other, I have secrets beneath my smilesA story untold that'll catch many by surprise
Have you ever had a moment where you kinda just think
This isn't where I'm supposed to be
And you're just not where you want to be.
A smile that shone as bright as the sun,
A laugh that keeps one going till the day is done,
The girl that once walked with the confidence others dreamed of
Now claims the blackened heart- now free of love.
Laying here awake
thinking and not wanting to believe what I hear.
I don’t want any of it to be true, but deep down I know it is.
I can’t describe how bad it hurts, it’s beyond words.
I truly believe that to succeed means more than acquiring money,
But being hungry to give back to society.
To make it means more than the fake get up,
More than the superficial snakes that call themselves friends to us.
