I always forgive, but I never forget I’m a forgiving person so if I ignore you, just know you’ve hurt me, The words I’ve etched in stone I wish I could float like Lilly pads on my grandma’s pond, Never worrying, soaking up the sun Never caring, wondering if it’s the wrong thing to forgive, The words I’ve etched in stone, I wait for your return, not a loved one, nor someone at all, I mean the beautiful butterflies I see each season floating with the wind, The words I’ve asked in Stone, I wonder what it’s like to be a pet at home, always sleeping getting love from family though I have love this is something I wonder The words I’ve etched in stone

Etched in stone
If the moon could talk to me- What would she say? Would she whisper me secrets She keeps from the day? Maybe she’d love me Maybe she would tell me to dream Too keep me from falling To absourb a scream Maybe she’d be distant Like a cold winter in spring Maybe she’d stay And spread her wings Maybe I’ll never meet her And it’s all a fake For all in all there’s no night Just the absence of day.

If the moon could talk to me
We sit close but never close enough to make it obvious. We talk about homework, about anything safe, while the words we mean wait quietly between us. In the hallways, crowded and loud, your eyes still find mine. Just a second too long to be nothing, too short to mean everything. We don’t stop. We don’t speak. We just pass each other like almost

Hallway glances
Finally I always was — even when I couldn’t see. But now I’m sure of who I’m meant to be. I learned to let go of who they wanted me to be, and now I stand completely free. Forever.

Happier than ever
Too young too be old too old to be young Too happy too be sad too sad too be happy Too ugly too be pretty too pretty too be ugly Too dumb too be smart too smart too be dumb Too loud to be quiet to quiet too be loud So where do we lie, The ones who don’t fit into society The ones who are to different to be normal We lie nowhere do we?

Too much
I hate the sunset tonight it’s to perfect To wonderful for my eyes why am allowed to see something so beautiful, When I’m here too, quite the opposite of the sunset and why do nobody talk about the moon and how beautiful it shines the lake at night, I hate the sunset tonight no matter how much I try to love it. It just shows all my imperfections because no matter what I try no matter what I do I can never be as perfect as the sunset tonight

I hate the sunset tonight
A shadow ow paint on the canvas made form the echoes of time, A illuminating sound of the clock ticking Soft foot’s steps trail through your home Feeling the waves of happiness and, Sadness a spill of feeling left to dry on the clothes line, The times we lost the the echoes of loneliness, Though the quiet minutes left you alone to thing the thoughts of wonder so lightly

Lost the echos of time
to the ones who pause and read my lines who leave their hearts between the signs who tap a like who write a word you matter more than youve ever heard i write because i know the ache of smiling wide while you quietly break of feeling like youre the only one fighting battles never won if my poems feel like they understand its because ive stood where you now stand i know the nights that stretch too long the silent tears the staying strong the point was never fame or views its reaching hearts like me and you its whispering softly through each line you are not alone this time i wish someone had told me too when the weight felt bigger than what i could do that struggling doesnt make you weak that healing doesnt make you meek so if youre here and you relate if something in these words feels safe hold this truth before you move you are seen you are loved and even when the world feels rough when breathing feels a little tough remember this before you go jesus loves you more than you know thank you for staying thank you for care for meeting my heart and finding yours there maybe were strangers maybe were not different stories but the same fought if one small poem helps someone feel a little less alone a little more real then every word was worth the try from my heart to yours thank you

Thank you
When I say it out loud, it’s so small— like a puddle or a glass of water. I could drink it, and it would go away. When I cry it, it’s even smaller— like a shot glass, or a few drops of rain. But in my mind, it’s an ocean. A pool I can’t climb out of. I can’t hide from it there. It’s a storm so loud I try to plug my ears— but it won’t go away.

Shot Glass Storm
I was merely a wanderer, wandering aimlessly. How would I have known that my destiny was written somewhere else? How would I have known I was never meant to be yours? You had a single line for me, where I kept half of the pages of my life empty for you, to write the verses of your poem. I knew you wanted the sky, I feared I was only gravity. But I also knew I could have learned to fly beside you if only you had looked back once. After you, I realized, perhaps someone else is dedicating half of their book to me when I only spared them a single verse in mine.
