Hello over there! I love writing poetry. I have a dream of becoming a writer! I hope that my poetry makes you feel like you're not in this world all alone.

I can’t sleep with the thought of you on weighing on my mind
I want to fast forward, you want to rewind
I hate how you were so kind
I want to see how this works out
You're too heavy and I'm not strong
My mind isn't where you belong
It just feels so wrong
I'm too scared to move you to my heart
It’s 6:28
I'm wishing you were at my gate
Most people consider this early but for me it’s late
I haven’t slept at all
Before I snuck out for some cold water
At skateboarding you almost taught her
When she falls, you better catch her
High school loves very infrequently last
Every night you keep me up
Never asking, “supp?”
No more cold water in the cup
I don’t look up to you
I'm not terribly trusting of this
You are something I don’t like to miss
Cold water gone, this love seems slightly amiss
The dog is barking, roosters crowing
I want sleep
I want my internet creep
But thoughts of you, I still keep
Will you love me?
December
Embers
Don't add light let me burn bright
Put me in the spotlight and I’ll turn grey
I want to hide from the light of day
Oh December
Embers
I'm going to use the heat for the long cold night
I'm burning out
But glowing in the dark is what I'm all about
Babe, December
Embers
Don't touch me when I'm hot
Don't fret
I'm not done quite yet
December
Embers
Blow on me to help
But that will only speed up the end
Just simply be my friend
December
Embers
From my eyes the crusty ash falls
I make myself pretty in the dark
I dare say my beautiful campfire smell will leave a mark
Dark December
Embers
Babe, I’ll be there when you wake up
When my light goes out don’t be afraid
I never let you fall, when I belayed
December
Embers
I'm going for the risk
Run your fingers through your hair
You can tell that I was there
Don’t desert December
Embers
No sugar just chalky
Just as long as you say we will always be a pair
I dare
Decimal December
Embers
I trust one and only one
Babe just communicate
Before I'm ugly, grey lets date
Depressed December
Embers
I hope you won't need it but...
I burnt the wood you knock on
No worries I got you, I'm strong
December
Embers
I don't know if I'm ready to jump
Keep it dark so you can see me glow
Please don't leave me out in the December snow
Tomorrow morning is going to be a rude awakening
I think sleepily
Like clockwork it's backbreaking
Soon dawn disturbs the night
My alarm clock boggles my eardrums forcefully out of my ears
I take my nasty spit damned retainers out to catch a breakfast bite
I command open my heavy eyes
From my eyes the sleep falls
And I ask myself, Why?
I make myself pretty
Daring to look at my reflection
Time to wing it and be witty
As I listen for a rhyme or reason
I get punched in the stomach because of the cheeky cold
Why must it be this season?
I click my frozen stiff seat belt into place
I zone out to the tune of the car motor
I put on my happy face
I walk into school
Feeling alone and judged
Dreaming a future where my poetry will rule
The ice is breaking
Time is something that I’d rather be stealing than be taking
I need to run but I'm frozen
The ice has chosen
The ice shall win I shall lose
Out of this dilemma I want to cruise
That's what those boots were for!
Why didn't I ask about them before I went out the door?
My feet hurt
Underneath my feet I long to feel the dirt
Stuck
I should have listened to the ugly duck
Who else would be out on this lake?
I'm going to die in white snowflakes
I just have to survive tonight
Never would have imagined this plight
I don't have much of a choice
No one’s around to hear my voice
At least I have my phone
I'm bitter and cold to the bone
I would text her but it’s just too far
The WiFi wont reach her star
I hear the ice cracking
Senselessly the cold is smacking
Inside I'm freaking out
The ice will hold me I doubt
I don't feel good I think as I cough
This lake I want off
I need someone
Who's strong and young
I fall and I now want the numb ice off my back
It seems like the ice likes to attack
I start to feel tired from fighting
A way, I see the stars lighting
I start to feel warm
I suddenly want to stay awake, I’m just torn
Soon I’ll pay the price
That ice didn't need to roll that dice
Splash
No ash
Head spinning
Head winning
Heart cruising
Heart losing
Brain barely working
Brain thoughts lurking
Feet walking
Feet stalking
Knees yell
Knees swell
Shoulders weak
Shoulders seek
Forehead sweat
Better yet
Befuddled
Everything is muddled
Hands shake
Fingers break
I'm so dependent
I sure am happy I sent it
You make me loose
I am a really silly goose!
When you disappear I miss you
I don't have a clue
I trust this one
Half the battle with you has been won
How and why is what I ask
What if you are wearing a mask?
I'm stuck with a bad case of the what if's
Those two words leave me hanging off cliffs
I will let you slither into my shoe, you already know it's a slipper
You understand fart rippers
Head no longer twirling
Heart won, happily whirling
Impending doom
Anticipating the "boom!"
I got sent the invitation
To sticky isolation
The deathly scent of flowers
Looking at the world alone at the top of the Eiffel Tower
A lonely gold filled casket
No more money in the basket
That money was wasted
Just imagine how bad that tasted
Every breath,
Is one closer to death
Then I feel insecure
In a crowd of people, doesn't matter what store
Anxiety still in the room
Sitting there waiting for the "boom!"
I try to hug the earth but all I do is hit the floor
It hurts but I go back for more
Sara, I can imagine you popping up out of nowhere
Depressing reality, but I still care
I can feel the wall of basses
The sickening sound of them not in their cases
Still feeling the arriving doom
Just around the loom
Then the crowd of violins start to rain
And the dark basses in my ears, they stain
The basses echo and rumble in my gut
Running from my problems, out of the room I rebely strut
A superhero is someone who has strength Not super stretchy length
Strength is when someone else can put themselves in back of you In other words they put you first, that’s what they do
Superheroes are ordinary people Not the ones that have a cape and are flying over the church steeple
Superheroes are caring They are never judging you and staring
The medics that show up at a fair Just so everyone is safe, no outside facing underwear
Superheroes have courage but still fear I don’t blame them, they don’t have the head gear
The ones that rather compassion Over fashion
The ones that are brave Everyone they can’t always save
This is reality, some of the innocents are dead Some go unfed
Who are your superheroes? I hope that you answer doesn’t start with a zero
Too good to be true
In the back of my head I knew
Do you really have a freshman crush?
You're still keeping hush
You're a chicken
You're heart is too alive and kick’n
You fall in love to easy
In my world it’s cold and breezy
You loved me
Please
Just tell me how come you don’t want me anymore?
I thought you wouldn't walk out the door
I see how you're just going to leave me like this
Without my first kiss
I was so ready
I won’t believe you if you ever ask me to go steady
Don’t you even dream about coming back!
Intelligence is what you lack
You're kissing a golden one goodbye!
I can’t wait for you to move in four months, I'm not going to lie
Broke my heart without even touching it
You need to teach yours how to heel and sit
I remember when I was still…
I was chewing the idea of you and I over and over like a sweet jolly rancher in my mouth
You're such a hot head you have to move south
Why don’t you just tell me?
Don’t break me slowly while you get to flee
That rumor I heard
It hurt, I now see you as a wimpy little turd
Do you want to change that?
Or are you just going to keep on hiding under your uninterested mat?
The weather is angry
I'm all strangely
Come near me at your own risk
Permanently scratched your video game disk
Oh I can be bitch!
I'm that annoying out of your league back itch
So you don’t want to love this blue eyed mess?
Boy, I'll make you confess
Straight to my face
I'll beat you at the end of the race
You'll want be back after
When that happens I'll be the one making all of the laughter
The boat left without you, you were too late
What would you do?
Just to chase your dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you jump into the water?
Would you do that even if you risked the chance of hypothermia, and just swim?
Does your dream fill you to the brim?
The bus left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase an easily broken dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you start running?
Would you do that with hurting side stitches?
Dreams can be b*tches
The train left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase your dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you try to follow the train tracks?
You’d never be able to keep up with the train
Dreams can take away your spoons, and drain
The plane left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase your already pulverized dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you drive?
You’d be late
Someone could steal your shattered fate
The team left without you
What would you do?
Just to chase you nearly impossible dream
Would you go to the extremes?
Would you push too hard and make yourself sick
Dreams can be d*cks
So what you missed your dream?, find a new one!
What do you think is fun?
Find one that you’re not too late for
Open your eyes there’s many doors
Protect you dream with your life, with the fire in your eyes, you’ll never get stuck
To life’s troubles you can just say f*ck!
Ends are sometimes beginnings I need to get myself out of here Ends are the reflections of beginnings, it’s a simple mirror Is everything the same? Dead in the hall of lame Right now you and I are in between the beginning and the middle My bones are snapping, crackling and are brittle I need to know, what’s on the other side? For now I’ll let it slide Slide down my back, off my feet What is complete? Is it fullness of the heart? Or a lucky throw of the dart This reflection is not me, I’m lost But life is still well worth it’s cost So here I go and venture into the middle Me myself and I; piano, guitar and fiddle My one and only crew Some find me and my inanimate, music playing objects, infectious like the flu Just a lucky throw of the dart Is it fullness of the heart? My one and only crew Some find me and my inanimate music playing objects infectious like the flu Then on some days I find myself in between the middle and the end At writing I’m not that great, not to offend But life is still well worth it’s cost This reflection is not me, I’m lost I need a lucky throw of the dart Is it fullness of the heart? What is complete? Slide down my back, off my feet For now I’ll let it slide I need to know, what’s on the other side? Then I find myself in the end Things don’t always break sometimes they bend Dead in the hall of lame Is everything the same? Beginnings are the reflections of ends, it’s a simple mirror I need to get myself out of here Beginnings are sometimes ends
I can't
Stupid head
I should be thankful
While writing this others feel as if they were lying in their death bed I can't
What is wrong with me
I'm so messed up
I wish someone could get me but their middle name is absentee I can't
I should be lucky I have an umbrella for the rain
But I'm too befouled
Others are in pain I can't
It feels like I'm cheating
You can find rhyming words on the Internet
A "good enough mother" is what I'm needing I can't
I used to despise being called honey
I'm going to be thinking about both of you for eternity
You are mine if I pay you money I can't
I can't stand it
The same thing every time
I can't throw a fit I can't
I can't write
Who can help?
For once I'm ready to fight I can't
In my life I'm confused
This little pointless poem
My heart severely bruised I can't
My life I find perplexing
I am vinegar to myself
My feelings I keep deflecting
I'm a little punk
A little rebel
I used to be the opposite
But similar all the same
Then I fell in love with something I can't have and my heart sunk
My heart is a devil
The burn causing flame in my brain got lit
The beast of my heart I couldn't tame I used to feel guilt like hell
It had complete control over me
Therefore I had nothing hidden
Dealing with the devil, my guilt was a good idea to sell
I broke free
I became guilty ridden The free rain ran over me and cleaned my obedience away
I broke them damn chains!
I began to hide during the day
Some of my fears I told to go fuck themselves, went down the drain So now I'm everything that screams courage and fearless
Every word that I write helps me to be tearless But I am still similar all the same
I'm so cold
I won't be able to sleep tight
I'm not done with this fight
I'm so clammy cold
I need time
And for that person who has a crush
I can't make a decision my brain is mush
If only I had time
I need something in my side
I was just a silly goose
But then all hell broke loose
Someone to help guide
Too stressed
I can't think
Staring at the wall I refuse to blink
I can't function my best
A cure for the cold would be a warm hug
But not for this grinning little punk
A hug would not fix a heart that has already sunk
Too late, too bad you're a slug
How can someone help me?
They can't, my problems of empty love are ungratefully big
I'll tell you everything when there are flying, majestic pigs
Through me, it feels like you can see
I'm stuck
And you can't do much
For you can't touch
I'm afraid you seriously can't help,yuck!
I'll live my life cold
At least I get to live
The downside is I'll have nothing to give
Nothing lasts not even a heart of gold
I can't spit it out
Or spill the beans
I'm broken at the seams Love hurts
The seams are the most sensitive part
Of my three sizes too big heart I trust but not all the way
I have a suspicious, skeptical type trust
My life has been full of cold gusts It's only been about him
I don't really care
At you I'll just stare... I'm the master at reading people
I stare at you for comfort
This time the mission I did not and shall not abort I found love
I'm terrified
I'm sorry, I need to leave because I lied Soon I'll be back to having no one
I didn't mean too
I mostly trust you It seems as if you have made me forget how to write
Uncomfortable
But all the while comfortable You are my Mrs. Murphy
We too shall part
I don't want you to keep my heart Oh Mrs. Murphy this is going to hurt
But I want you to have it because you seem gentle
You might find out that I am mental The fictional, Alexandrine has a few poems
She wants to share
But when Alexandrine is in the moment she just can't dare My head is heavy
Weighted down with thoughts
A poem and a stomach filled with knots Depressed and miserable
It feels like I'm going to be sick
The music is stuck in me no matter how hard you use your guitar pick I've got a knotted stomach
I'm tongue tied
I'm sorry that my thread sewed seams just died
Those damn ex’s
Leave your brain perplexed
Walks lightly
Thinks brightly
Favorite color is green
Just like a spleen
Understands your weird, random metaphors
Doesn’t waste her time and energy knocking down unnecessary doors
The grand piano player
Has many layers
Some that I’ll probably never get to see
Gave away her key
Seems pretty sophisticated
Good fated
Always saying that everyone has their own fight
Not afraid to spend the night
Looking out for me
Lets my thoughts be
She’s courageous
She’s contagious
You’ll always want her around
Leaves you thinking new thoughts like why don’t you just push off the ground
What are you hiding under there?
Doesn’t take a stupid dare
Goes beyond
Knows about that dirty mucky messed up pond
Promises you that you can fly
Look at those blue eyes
Deep
Proves the secrets that she keeps
Fell and scraped her knee
Got stung by the swarm of stinging bees
But stood
To show life that she could
So smart
She’s off the chart
So much more to learn
In life there are so many places to turn...
She pulled out all of her teeth and replaced them with pearls.
With bowling balls is what she replaced her girls
She wanted all the boys to stop and stare
But the boy you really want is the one who doesn't care
She kept her hair long
She followed society's song
Hair down to the floor thanks to extensions
The silent rule that goes unmentioned
The longer your hair is the better you are
But society says that she's still just par
Society is cruel
She just wanted to be cool
Lots of makeup she wore
Because of it people called her a whore
She just wanted to fit with the crowd
With her new look she was proud
I find that devastating
On society I'm hatin
She bought cloths at designer stores
All this Just to look "beautiful", what a bore
But she now just looks like every other girl,
There’s too many clones in this world
You were born a rose don’t die a poppy
She now looks quite silly but she thinks that she is finally pretty
Instead of listening to the media
Listen to an encyclopedia
You'll learn more
Rather than wasting time shopping at designer stores
Society is all of you!
Lets not let another one get sick with the blues
Don’t be so cold to others; treat others the way you want to be treated
If only the media could be deleted
Look what society has done to her
This girl needs a coat of fur
The weight is unbearable
No one you can tell
With your heart on your sleeve your shirt becomes unwearable
Trapped and stuck
Can't decide if you're saved or caged by the bell
Luck but tough luck
I want to let you in my shoes
For just a day
But if you took them you might catch on to all of my clues
I knew you would have to break confidentiality
So?
Yes, that fear is my reality
I can't tell you what's really up
I guess you think I'm fine so should I go?
A simple question with a hard answer is: supp?
Too good of an actor I should leave
I just don't know I guess
My feelings, emotions, and problems are all in a creative, tight weave
I hate to say
My head is a mess
It must stay this way
There are plenty of things to be fixed
I don't know what to do
Pent up things and problems are all together scrambled and mixed
And by the way don't make decisions for me
I would feel guilty if you tried on my stinky, sweaty shoe
Could you try and make me agree?
You almost had me before
I want to talk about it but I can't seem to tell
You'd have to tell someone, I know that's a fact deep down in my core
The internet friend can invigorate
She makes me think well
But you, I don't hate
I disappeared for awhile
So if you don’t recognize my name that’s why
Coming and going is sort of my style
(sigh)
If you can’t remember me you once called me deep
I’m basically your mini me, who refuses to go down without a fight
Aka internet creep (kidding)
Poetry is what I like to write
All this time I hope you didn’t have a strange hunch
I see another moon
Then there goes another month
I hope I’ll be able to put words on paper to you soon
You probably think that I fell off the face of the earth
I’m not done existing yet!
Two days we both hate but everyone else loves is the date of our birth
I hate pity so, over me don’t fret
I realize that even gut girl,
Doesn’t have real magic
And can’t save me from my world
I’m slowly breaking free of the chains that have had me trapped, full of rage I have had it
On my team
It’s just you and me
That’s not entirely true to this whole befuddling scheme
I’m not the only one with a forever scraped knee
Will I write back to you before I get old and grey?
For some reason I’m scared
Then before I know it there goes another day
Should I even care?
Writing I have forgotten how
Where is my “brave” voice?
Maybe you could understand this, Meow!
I’m starting to think that braveness is a crazy choice
I haven’t written to you in so long
Will writing to you be my fate?
Too good to be true, someday I bet you’ll be gone
I remind you of your younger self so at least you can strongly relate
For now I don’t think I’m brave enough
To reach you again
My feelings seem to be in cuffs
But even though I haven’t talked to you, I hope that we’re still good friends
You were my fog horn
While my strength was dwindled
Kept me from getting more torn
No more will I get swindled
You understand the weird problems with anxiety
And all of the faking
Sorry you saw me,
When I was breaking
I don’t like rooms with big unspoken elephants
After all there might be a goodish brain in my head
To win the war of hurtful words I must be more intelligent
Moons ago this is what should have been said!
Don’t feel
Don’t show just so you can eat at least one more free meal
In your case
I must keep a strong unmoving poker face
You think that it’s rude for me not to answer
Tell me to get depressed for someone because of their lung cancer
Instead I think they need some cheer
And encouragement for them to face their fears
I don’t tell you how I feel
Because you would tell me it’s not normal and what I'm feeling is unreal
That I made it all up in my head
I'm crazy is what your body language said
When I do answer you, you tell me to stop talking back
And tell me that manners are what I sadly lack
You tell me you don’t like my tone
I would never tell you how much I want to puke at the smell of your cologne
Maybe my tone is bad but it’s not as bad as your writing font
You like to remind me that the troubles I have ahead of me are something to daunt
If I admit that something hurts then I get called a baby
You’d think that I was too much of a wuss to join the navy
Tell me I'm tough but act like I'm the weakest of the weak
I'm not brave enough to find help to seek
“No one’s going to get hurt here”
I could! You would tell certain people is my fear
I wouldn’t trust you even If you promised, you could so very easily go behind my back
Oldness is what I lack
When you ever did know how I felt
You’d lecture me on how stupid I am for feeling it, then hit me hard with an imaginary belt
Because of that I would prefer to keep you in the dark
I might not be able to live through another mark
I just can’t have you know
If you ever found out, I’ll get buried in icy sharp, wet snow
But no matter how numb I am, I still feel
All my feelings are strong and real!
Just wishing and hoping ain't gonna do nothing
It’ll just make it worse
But I do it anyway because I'm cursed
Desire equals suffering
So don’t wait and hope
Before you open your big mouth you might as well fill it with soap
If I desire not to desire anything that’s a desire
I love you but I can't fully have you
What am I supposed to do?
I can't win with fire
The things I wish I could tell
I want you to just know why I may not be so well
When should I stop having just a spark of hope?
It's 1 in the morning
And I'm mourning
I'm beginning to realize that enough is enough, no more of this nope!
I think about you a bunch
I probably never even cross your mind from time to time ever much
You are only somewhat removed
Now it's 1:08
And you are what I now hate
Out of my life my safe person always moves
I need someone like you
I can't really tell you but I wish and hope that you knew
I feel like puking I don’t want to be seen
Needing you so much I'm sick
This sickness cannot be fixed with vicks
1:13
By the minute I'm getting older
You are warm and I don’t think I can get much colder
Wishing waiting and hoping
In this situation it is impossible
I'm so sick I need the hospital
I don’t know what I'm thinking, I have to find a new way of coping
1:21
Thinking about you I should be done
People say that words can’t hurt you
But words can make you dangerously blue
They say that sticks and stones hurt more
But they don’t get that words aren’t a bore
Words have a lot of meaning
Stop the brain cleaning
Why do you think I write poems?
Poems are my home
Sticks and stones may break your bones but they can’t ever hurt your soul
Unless you let them slip through a little hole
Words have a way of sneaking around everyone’s hearts and minds
Too bad you don’t have to pay a fine
Some words hurt like knifes
Don’t let it ruin your life
Words can leave marks,
Scars and painful friction sparks
Other words are kind
Some can blind
You can’t only say I love you to me
You have to not just prove it but make me see
I now don’t trust easily at all
People who I used to trust have made me fall
Not only did they do that they made sure that I heard their laughter
After
I can still hear them in my head
When everyone else is in bed
Sleeping
While I lock myself in my room weeping
Their laughter always growing louder
Why must I cower?
I wish I was strong like everyone else
I just want to be my old self
Everyone says I'm strong but really I'm not
They don’t know I cry a lot
They say I'm strong
But they're wrong
They all think I'm fine
They say that while all they do is shine
I'm just the cloudy, dirty, run down, rusty
Musty…
No one ever wants me
I'm the third wheel all the time, you see
You always tell me someone is worse off than me
Why can’t you just flee?
The laughter is so loud that it is part of the beat of my drum
What have I become?
Why do you enjoy making me feel worthless?
You are careless
The stress
Of always trying to be the best
You’ve made me a mess
I just want to be me
You never hear my pleas
Of just let me be me
I beg you please
Just turn it off
And step off
And you wonder why I don’t tell you anything or even speak at all
I just don’t want to bawl
Stop looking at me with that stupid judging look
I gratefully have unhooked
From you
We’re not stuck like glue
I've lost faith in the human mind
You can’t even be somewhat kind
Words make up the human world
Sometimes they can be bold, twisted and curled
Words hurt more than physical pain
You have a box of permanent letters in your brain
Of all the mean,
Things ever said to you, you're fat, you should be more lean
Some of the letters are signed with your name
Yes you are that lame
You really are your worst enemy
Slowly killing yourself…
Steady beat of the drum
Just the turn of the thumb
But I don't have the nerve
So I kick it to the curb
She doesn't seem to have a heart
Even if it hit her in between the eyes she wouldn't know art
Don't show
How in my world the cold wind blows
I tried to see it within her
But it's all a blur
You can tell that she doesn't root for the underdog
Even though she is older than I, she doesn't know how to see through the fog
I thought that you were one of the good guys
I now know the truth and the seemingly harmless lies
There's nothing you can do
I already wrote a poem about that too
I don't want her to see
The inside of me
The things about me that she doesn't get
Outside of her net
For not doing it, she thinks I'm crazy
She thinks that I'm just being lazy
She probably thinks that I'm dumber than dirt
But I'm just a bit broken and hurt
I got a second chance
Away that idea went as I danced
I've learned too late
But that's just my damn fate
So, I would prefer
If you please don't show my writing to her
Let the rain,
Let it roll off your back
drip drip away your pain
Before you hit the sack
It's alright to let it go
Don't be embarrassed to cry
Rain is warm, cold is snow
After you'll be able to dry
Snowy cold
Trust me you want to be warm
You'll fill your cracked mold,
Your chipped, poor form
Don't fall asleep with an open mouth
You'll surly drown
Keep on hitch hiking south
I should have known that to happen it was bound
Well I must not lose time
I have to keep moving
If you drive to me to Texas I'll give you my only dime
To myself I do the proving
To keep myself going I keep my belongings light
Are you on my tail?
Sorry but you, I still don't trust quite
Please stay here don't bail
It's has little to do with you at all
Please just wait and stay
Are you here to catch me or will I hit rock bottom at full force when I jump then fall?
I'm really sorry it might be a long delay
That moment when you can't get the pencil to write
When the paper bites
Writer's block
Is worse than getting stuck with your brother's smelly sock
Too many thoughts on my mind
I need to write so I'll know I'll be just fine
Into a ball I want to curl
I need to stop hiding from the world
The moment you are so numb that nothing helps, not even music
I know I have the power but I'm afraid to use it
It would just cause me trouble
Make my world as I know it crumble
You start to think
At writing you stink
You don't want to write it all
Can't risk another fall
You are plain 'ol stuck
Wishes on shooting stars for better luck
What you don't realize is that it's all there
You need to take the dare
Too many thoughts yet at the same time I have an empty head
So for now I'm off to bed
Long curvy roads
Cars with heavy loads
Together on the same day
All going different ways
Maybe ours will meet again
And if so when?
Are we done?
Can you give me the sun?
I want to take a road trip
I'll even get aboard a ship
I don't really know you
You're contagious like the flu
You don't think that I have a dark side
I'm ready for the butterflies
The motor of the car
I want to go far
Let me in
Can I see your scraped shin
Motorcycles go whizzing by
Will you reply?
How was your flight?
I'm starting to forget that night
Indiana, you came all the way
Just for a rock climbing day
I could tell that you too are numb
That's where I'm from
You think that I don't have it bad
But I have more scars than you will ever have
So many I've lost count
Much matter the amount?
I have way more than eight
Full is my plate
Friend you are new
And I don't know, how do you do?
Did I come in too strong?
How much longer?
A couple days? A week?
Let me in to take a little peek
I think you're cool
My head sings that I'm a fool
The car jerks to a stop
Out of the car I come out with a hop
In hopes to see you
But you're from Indiana so I should have known, that was the first time you flew
I know you are hurting
You're like me, you're searching
You say you've been hurt before,
But I won't walk out the door
If you wish to, you'll open up,
But I won't push
A door that can only be opened from
the inside
Instead, I sit here,
With you, and near,
And
Simply
Be your friend My good friend wrote this to me! Surprise!
It felt like solitary confinement
They have my finger print
All the windows had a tint
It was hard to see
Anything but all the problems wrong with me
Drowning in the unknowing sea
Been here so long I’ve got belly button lint
Can they take the silence as a hint?
May I have a breath mint?
Outside I can hear them talking
The secrets are shocking
That door I’m locking
The things I hide
Behind some deceptive lies
My heart dies
Inside here I have no control
Maybe he is secretly the troll
Trapped is my soul
My body is so tense
Just hop the fence
It sounds like I don’t make sense
Inside I’m dead
Heavy as lead
I don’t look fed
I wonder what they are saying
In here I’m slowly but surely decaying
The video cameras revealing everything, replaying
Somehow they forgot me
I long to be free
The new, changed world, I want to see
When is the last time I saw the bright shooting stars?
As I try to imagine mars,
Through the cold, rusty, thick, medal bars
At somebody getting in their car
I wonder what their life is like
Strike, strike,
Strike
I’ll get though this
No one has ever truly been here for me, there is no one I miss
No one is one the list
My only friend in here is a flickering light
I’m not done with this fight!
Will I be forced to stay another scary, rough night?
However this room is also bliss
As I reminisce
At least I’m finally away from the battles, the silence is a gentle kiss
You, little flit flirt
Back at my window
From bad to good, my feelings you convert
The wind blows, blows, blows
Window, open, I still can’t hear you
Please stay
With you I think I’ll get through
My light of day
Everything, you give
I’ll saver
Die for you, or live?
If you ever need a favor...
You and I don’t have the clock,
Don’t rush
Love, my time torturously tick tocks
Me heart you better not crush
I will succeed
Still you come and go
Love me?
You taught me how to go with the flow
The world spins too fast
It got pulled out from under me
I'm lost
Stuck in the bitter winter frost
But the seasons still change
When will my hot summer come?
I deceived
And you believed
You'll never be able to truly understand
You'll think that I'm crazy
I am not like you, and you are not like me
We are different breeds
“Next time I’ll dig deeper”
I’ll have to show you…
I don’t like to talk
My head and heart have a special double sided lock
I can feel that this is going to be torture
I don’t trust easy at all
On my door is a sign
Don’t come in, I'm just fine
I don’t know why but you I cannot read
I think you are doing that on purpose
“Happy and easygoing”
You’re just unknowing
It’s confusing
I won’t tell
I just don’t want too
Maybe it’s just because you’re new…
Thank you for saving me another night
I now see a little bitty light
At the end of the tunnel
I'm just starting the loooong climb out of the funnel
That drains into the black, empty hole of eternal sadness
My parents just think I'm full of badness
Depression is like a black hole that is always going to be tapping on your shoulder
It makes sure that you know if you trip it will come back and hit like boulder
Maybe you were lying
If you were and I find out, you might find me slowly dying
And sliding back down again
I'm not writing this with a pen
You are my idol
My mom wants me to believe in the bible
But she can’t make me believe in something that I'm not so sure about
This is why I sometimes pout
Well I'm writing this to you so back to it
I love you, I have to admit
Not in the creepy way
You’ve brought me back to bay
I think that is the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me
I'm not kidding, you now have my secret key
I hope you don’t lose it
Please don’t quit
Everyone who has told me they would be there for me, forever
Always ended in a never
I'm slightly scared to love you
I might end up, not just blue but dark blue
It almost seems every time I love someone
I always get shunned
Thanks
For putting some of your spare change in my vacant bank
I've been staring at what you wrote in complete disbelief
I'm as lonely as a shrived up leaf
However, I do have many sides just like you think
Everyone who only sees the quiet side really needs to blink
Or get better glasses
I hope that their phase passes
This poem has finished quickly
I hope you don’t find it sh*tty
