Like flames, a spark came to life.
You looked me in my eyes
And I in yours
You put a smile on my face
Oh, a smile with a hint of regret
How come I didn’t see it?
I was happy
We had an agreement
One I liked, we both had our freedom
Except now, I know it is going to be me
I am the one who will end up with a broken heart
Because feelings never obey your rational part.

Shoulders back
Head up
Breath.
Weave through the crowd
faster
yet slower
shoulders back, straight posture.
An opening ahead
clear space
light seeping through.
Like a moth to a flame.
Pose
and wait
breath in, breath out.
Surrounded by silence
than by darkness
the first tunes strike.
Head up
a broad smile
spotlight on
dance.
Move
spin
jump and mesmerize.
Tunes fade away
applaud is roaring
the smile fades.
Do I dance for myself or do I dance for validation?

It's so weird
how one little thing
can destroy so much.
The butterfly-effect
small causes
can have large effects.

*Look into my eyes.
Do it.
Look at what you have done against me.
toyed around with me,
created pouches beneath my eyes,
turned the deep, brown color grey,
caused ephemeral moments where all life vanishes from my eyes.
YOU did this,
you caused this pit of hatred inside me
in the sparkle in my eyes.*

I told you I would do anything for you, love
I would climb mountains
I would cross oceans
just to see a smile on your face
Because isn't that what love is
So you asked me for one thing
to be patient
oh how it would be easier to climb a mountain
patience is key
but patience is not something I have the key to
I will do my best to be what you need me to be
please just remember
I am human too
I make mistakes
that sometimes hurt you

*I'm 18
Where am I in this life
I was 14
I knew where I was heading
I'm like a tidal wave
The ocean
Nuances of blue and black
Calm before the storm
Raging in different directions
Every single way
I'm able to go in all directions.
The sun sets behind my horizon
The wind is blowing
Taking me east
Now west
Calm before the storm.*

*Anger.
Rage.
Fury.
Resentment.
Bitterness.
Tantrum.
Wrath.
Rampage.
&
Misunderstandings.
It all starts with misunderstandings, if you would try to look over your own nose, you'd see.
You'd see that I am just trying
trying
trying*
trying
*to reach out.
With false hope, I got shot.
I thought it meant more.*

I write poems because,
Poets are the people,
Who understand how i feel,
How it is like to love,
To lose it,
I write my madness,
Craziness,
Faithfulness,
And like many artists,
My loneliness,
Poets don't criticize,
Like the rest of the world,
They may smile,
Or cry reading,
But never be leaving,
An insult,
Because they understand,
They know the pain,
They feel it,
When i have a problem,
I have no one to share with,
No friends,
Not siblings,
Definitely not my family,
I turn to poetry,
I can write what i want,
I write what i feel,
I write out my troubles,
Rhyming words,
In small thought bubbles,
And crying inside,
No one to sit beside,
No one to hold,
Everything is cold,
Poetry is the only thing,
Keeping me alive,
it helps me survive!

*It's closing in
once again
water falls
leaves descend.
Night becomes darker
light deprived of its ember
fumbling around, on knees
struggles getting harder.*
