Ruheen

I finally screamed.
I finally cracked.
Am I meant to feel better?

Am I? I thought I was going to feel better. Lighter. Like I wasn't lying to everyone around me about how I felt.
Whatever.

Opinions...

Opinions...

Well, it looks like my opinion doesn't matter.
Oh, wait. I already knew that.
Because it never does.

*sigh* I hate being around people who debate over stupid things.
More like....
I just hate being around people. Period.
Yeah, that's better.

A Beach

A Beach

Like the deep blue waters.
You flooded my heart and mind.
And like sand stuck to me.
You never leave.
Either way,
You surround me.

Could be about a person or something more. Something worse.
Take it how you want it.

I Don't Care

I Don't Care

Once.
Just once.
Tell me.
Show me that you care.
And maybe then I'll stop.
Stop saying that I don't.

Every time someone says something to me, or gives me a title, I say I don't care. But only because *they* actually don't. But I do care. I don't let it affect me, but I want it to. I want them to console me when I get hurt, not just dismiss it with a simple "Ignore it."
I want to care, but that'll only happen when they start to care. About me.

My Last Breath

My Last Breath

Far from death

Close to death

At last, death

Nothing left

Not innocent

I deserve it

Far from death

Close to death

My last breath

Can you guess what I'm going to say about this?
HINT: I say it a lot. In almost all of my poems. Just three words.

Afraid

Afraid

Everything is cold.
I'm cold.
And scared.
I just don't know what to do.
Those words broke me,
Pieces.
That's all I am.
And I'm afraid that's all I'll ever be.

Fear Us

Fear Us

Not all depressed cut,
Not all sad shed tears,
Not all strong fight,
Not all monsters roar,
Not all young are innocent.
Some just work harder to maintain a mask.
We are here,
And you have reason to fear,
We are the best liars,
We can manipulate the greatest con artist without batting an eyelash.
Watch out we are coming.

This is a dark and serious p poem but that didn't change the fact that In was tempted to put "and we're queer" instead of " And you have reason to fear" ****

Axion Prelude

Cold

I had a dream, I saw you there
You reached for me
I reached back

Your skin was cold as ice
Scared, you told me to awake
I opened my heart

I had awoken, but you weren't there
The dream is what kept me alive
I had a dream..

Be honest with people. Don't hide anything. Don't lead on, don't contrive meaning or intent.

Hearts break, emotions shut down; listless fortune settles into the crevices where once resided compassion, dreams, and hope for something good.

I am ashamed of how often I come to this place inside. It's a home, it's a prison; it never changes.

I trust too easily.
