Wish You Were Here
There’s a place on my hip
Where your hand would fit
A place on my neck
To lay your head
Nuzzling and cuddling
In bed together
Permanent satisfaction
You and me forever
Love you Romeo

Frustrate
I never fully get a break
From trying to escape

I let loose with my words
But sometimes it never works

I’m never not alone
There’s no place called home

All this pent up frustration
means there’s no vacation
From all these feelings
Eyes are supposed to be
the windows to the soul...

I think they’re really
Just funhouse mirrors

Taking something
And twisting it
Into something that is not

Am I Joking?
‘Please **** me’
Laughing surrounds the supposed joke.
Little do they know,
It was less of a joke and more of a plea

To Be Seen
If only they could see
The war inside me

Maybe they’d leave me alone
Or maybe I’d be at home

Not alone but lonely
Because they don’t understand how desperately

I need closure
Or I'll never know for sure...

Talk
Talk

That’s all it ever is

Talk

Do you really trust the words

Talk

That are thrown like knives

Talk

Lies, insults, and blames

Talk

That hurt more than words should

Talk

But the truth comes and no one listens

Talk

When the complements are said, that are considered criticism

Talk

That’s all it is…

Forgotten Toy
A forgotten toy
Left in the road
Lost out the window
With no hope

Forever unwanted
Forever used
Never to be kept
For I’m far too bruised

Civil War
My heart is at war with my mind
About what's wrong and what's right
When there really is no black and white

Social Anxiety Sucks
Eye contact is not an option
I can’t hold a conversation
It’s basically impossible
Fitting in is not my forte
I can’t even explain
What it feels like
To NOT be able to talk
Even when you really want to
Even after hours of mental preparation
Nothing comes out
Not even a squeak
Social anxiety kinda *****
Sorry, my poetry has gotten extremely sloppy. And I’ve been facing MAJOR writers block. Any suggestions on how to get over this??

Little Copper Penny
A little copper penny
Lying alone on the sidewalk

Rained on, stepped on, walked right by

No one cares about a penny
What could it possibly buy?

Silence
If silence speaks louder than words,
Why was I not heard?

Jealous?
Are you jealous about someone who isn’t yours?






Yeah, me too...

What is OK?
'Is everything ok?'

What is ok?

'Haven't killed myself yet, have I?'

Songs
Songs are an escape.
You don't hear the lyrics, you listen to them, and you truly understand the artist and don't feel as alone as you felt when you started the song.
Songs are a type of poetry that has music and is likewise written out of deep emotion.
Not some shallow stupid feeling that's temporary, but a feeling that stays with you for a lifetime

Wait
I hope you know
That I miss you

The problem is
I’ve chased
For too long

The problem is
I’ve chased
Too many people

So for now
I wait
For a message
To see
What I
Really am
To you

Innocence
An innocent little boy







Too bad nothing lasts forever

Scared of Love
I’m scared of telling that special someone in my life
That I’ll be with them till I die
How can you go up to somone and say
“I’ll be with you every day”
When you can’t even see
The possibilities?
How can you promise them forever
When you know there’s always someone better?

Dying dead Dying
I’m

Falling

Fearful

Frightened

I’m

Scared

Suffocating

Suffering

But it’s ok
I’m ok

Accepting

My

Fate
Just playing around with words here. Inspired by a nightmare I had a while ago, but it’s still haunting me.

Heart
I gave you
My heart
Now I’m scared
You’ll take it
Run away
And break it

Big Picture
We are all just specs of color
Painting one big canvas
Portraying a much bigger picture

Blown away
Short shot at fame
Just to be washed away

Dead Stars
Dreams
Also known as
Childish hallucinations
We all had dreams
But slowly
They lose their glow
And are forgotten
In the sea of dead stars

Empty
My mind void
My heart hollow
My stomach pitted
Writing this
Means the beginning
Of the end

•~•~•

The beginning
Of a new chapter
In my life
It’ll start a little lonely
And maybe stay that way too
Or maybe I’ll change
In a good or bad way
But it’ll be change
And that’s scary
But I can make it through

•~•~•

The end
Of an older chapter
That began
Just yesterday
Or so it feels
A chapter
I regret
And wish I could change
But it is too late now
It is still a chapter in my book
And nothing can change that

Innocence and Ignorance
I long for the days when
Ignorance was bliss
And
Innocence was kind

Waking up on birthdays
Used to feel full of magic
And special
Like that day
Was mine for the taking

Now
Everyday is the same
Dull and boring
Boring and dull
My birthday was two days ago and even I forgot...

Thank You
Thank you
For the likes
The loves
The follows
And the comments
It motivates me to keep writing
Espacially when I really don’t want to

What I didn’t expect
Was all that I’ve received
In this amazing community
Of (mostly) appreciative artists
So again
Thank you
As a thank you to everyone, if you have any questions for me, feel free to comment or message me them. I’ll do my level best to answer all the questions! :)

Scarred
I’ve been scarred from head to toe so many times, it’s impossible to tell the old me from my recent history

My mind scarred from disease
                                       My feet from anxiety
My hands from guilt
                         My stomach from impurities


My heart scarred from betrayal, never to trust again
My ears from stupidity that never fails to turn on me

                                   My face from insomnia
My arms from inability
                                             My gut from fear
My shoulders from loneliness
                                         My fists from fights
My eyes from violence
                                     My knees from failure
My bones from pain
                              My ankles from weakness
My reputation from mistakes

And my soul from these dark clouds that refuse to fade...

High School
High school
Either
The best or
Worst days
Of your life

It’s still to be decided for me
How is or was high school?

Me but Broken
As I look in the mirror
All I see is me
But a lot more broken

To sleep
Would be an amazing achievement




At least until tomorrow

Haiku: Messed Up
Messing up scares me
so much, I’ve become paranoid
Which messes me up

Picture Perfect
A picturesque moment
Forever frozen still
Beautifully perfect
Before all became ill
His name branded
On my mind
and heart
Even 6,022
miles apart

Forever a smile
On my face
Forever a laugh
In silence’s wake

Doesn’t at all look well on me

Home?
I want to go home
But I don’t know where ‘home’ is
What defines your home?

Life Manual
Where is the manual on life?
Is there one I wasn't informed of?
That says you have to be a certain way?

That you have to be
Perfect?
Normal?
The same?

Because I didn't get one

Kinda Happy
Feeling kinda happy for once
It feels like a dream
And I’m scared to wake up

Damned Dam
Crying
Pain
Loneliness
Hate

Keeping thoughts at bay
Cracks and overflows
Please save me
Before I drown

Broken down and stripped to the bone

I Don’t Like Me
Beauty is in the
Eye of the beholder

Sadly my eye
Is not a fan
Of it’s view

Help
How do you cry for help
When all you know
Is a silent plea?
378 · Feb 2019
Imperfections
My mirror only shows me
My imperfections
Soon enough
My imperfections become all I see
I want to die

Peacefully, on my own terms
Without pain or hurt

On my own
So that no one

Has to bear a loss
Though they wouldn’t be missing much


•••
Trigger warning ⚠️
(again, just in case)
•••


I often ponder
How I want to die

Do I jump off that balcony,
Or cross that street?
Do I use this knife,
Or just not eat
I’m sorry if I offend anyone. I really needed a quick release.

Darkness
A darkness so vast and frightening
So consuming and suffocating
It terrifies me
