22/M A few months ago, I was just a regular guy struggling with my thoughts. Now I picked up a quill and started writing against and with them.
A payphone, Paid for with time and energy All my change I spend on you Released from the caller's heart An already safed contact, Feeling like an anonymous number, Ignored like spammers "Call me back" left on voicemail Hanging loose from the box Still waiting- more days to come

Payphone
A blood-coated weapon As sharp and deadly as words Forged for protection Used against and stolen By fear An unbreakable shield Protected and enchanted by words Forged for protection Used against fear Borrowed from the heart Battle followed by many thoughts Only a growing shield As quick and steady as bamboo in the forest Can protect from sharpness The cold and threatening force The fear

Fear against the heart
Sometimes my mind feels like an ocean A tremendous motion, That can sink nations My thoughts on the other hand Speak like a small pond A peaceful collected body A city of harmony and greenery Sometimes my actions are unpredictable Movements to achieve a checkmate, Yet let me lose the game as well My legs are earthquakes A stick that can‘t bear the weight of the ceiling Meanwhile my hands are waves Creating words that speak more than books I‘m chaos and order A song that makes you cry with joy and frustrate you at the same time Is this ok for you?

Chaos & Order
The darkness will not catch me, Repeatedly crying a fountain for help Feeling his breath behind my fears I won’t give up Chasing me mid-day under the bright sun, A reaper sharpens a scythe, coated with rusted blood- Belonging to lapsed soldiers The darkness will not catch me Fallen angels carry broken weapons, A sign of lost and mistakes A grudge against their own being, therefore- I won’t give up Sunshine will carry me, a newborn in a cruel world A flooded place, tired swimmers in the ocean The darkness will not catch me I won’t give up

The darkness will not catch me
Light that betrays us A flickering lantern that misleads me into darkness A stabbing pain that gives me joy A lasting ink that marks my skin An outcast of society, painted in black and lost in forgiveness- A leader of the broken

Marked by light, forged in pain
Water runs calmly A garden within chaos Grass still grow greener

The Quiet Persistence
The night feels cold once more- A blizzard through the mist, Freezing every lonely soul. I’m here, A victim of the dark, Shivering under my blankets, With my eyes fixated above- A never-ending darkness Filled with shining stars, A guiding light to something bigger, And that is you- Reflective light shining above me. No matter how bright you shine, Your beauty is seen but untouchable- A fish in the deep black, Nearly impossible to catch. Still laying here, Shivering under my blankets. Music in my head, my only companion- A fireplace in the middle of this forest of devastation, A place where shadows lure me out of comfort Following me with a familiar tune, something like this: “Such a lonely night, And it’s mine It’s a night I’m glad I survived.” Witnessing the change of nature now, We will soon meet again, O Queen of the darkness- Torture of us outcasts, When will the night Feel warm again? For the answer, I’ll wait.

Cold is the night
Wind marches away Trees grow older and older Waiting for sunshine

Time
The stains of the past are still there Like the marks of a coffee cup on the tablecloth Identifying us for who we are Teaches us to use a saucer Our gained knowledge before leaving more stains A new year begins Now we have a chance to start again This time with more understanding and experience To guide us through our next trial Wishing us all the Success, Happiness, Joy May these future memories last forever Like the past ones

I keep my phone close to me to see if you wrote me I put my phone away to keep myself from waiting But my head keeps thinking about your next text
