19/F/VA I wrote my first poem in 7th grade and have been writing ever since. I write when my emotions become overwhelming. Poetry is truly the most beautiful of escapes.
the end is coming for me i can feel it in my bones hunting down the last of my will like a predator and it’s prey i see the signs everywhere i look everything and all is wrong so for my last act of strength instead of being left behind this time i’m the one leaving

My Last Act of Strength
trying to show someone who cannot see their own beauty how beautiful they are is like trying to capture a picture of the moon. no matter the angle, no matter the light, it’s never the same as standing beneath the sky yourself. i wish you could stand here with me and look at the moon together but i can only send you a photo. it will never show you what i see.

Through My Eyes
dear you, i fear i don’t know who i am anymore. when i ask myself those very words, “who am i”, your name gets echoed through my bones like it’s mine too. you’re no longer mine, it seems my heart and whatever’s left of my soul refuses to accept it. my soul keeps me half awake at night still awaiting your call. just awake enough to notice if my screen lights up. and my heart, broken as ever, holds on to the hope that someday you’ll want me again. i think that hope is what keeps it beating and is why it’s not shattered into fragments of what we once were what we weren’t and everything we’ll never be.

Everything We’ll Never Be
today was like most days, we lay together in my bed. skin to skin. heart to heart. your head resting on my chest, our breaths syncing onto one rhythm. you held me so tight, with such love and care. the only difference today, from all the days before, was that today, you wiped my tears as they fell. and today, i wasn't your girlfriend. yet you still looked at me with the same love in your eyes. maybe even more.

Skin To Skin
if roots can wait, beneath the earth, for a rain they cannot live without. and if the stars wait, lingering in dusk, just to see the moon once more. then i, full of burning ache, can wait too. I will wait for you.

I Will Wait
my love for you was unconditional. your name engraved itself in my heart, embedded itself into my soul. loving you came naturally, as if I were made solely to love you. but you you had your terms and conditions. you would love me so long as it was easy. your heart never ached for my warmth. and when the time came, you let go without hesitation. for you, I would have always tried. always fought for us. always stayed. for me, you had your limits and I exceeded your terms and conditions.

Terms & Conditions
i see you crying in silence, trying not to be heard, trying not to be seen. i see you wiping away your tears, trying not to be sensitive, trying not to be a burden. all you wanted was someone to hold your heart with the same softness you held theirs. i’m sorry no one saw you. but— i see you. i hear you. and i love you.

I See You
My whole life, I’ve felt like I’m living a life that isn’t mine, Following a script I didn’t write, wasting away with time. I never imagined a future, I just live day to day. Am I a puppet, playing a part, until I decay? I don’t remember who I was before melancholy caught me; It seems to be all I know, all I feel, all I think, all I see. Maybe this is my purpose, to endure these thoughts with persistence. I exist so you don’t feel alone… How unfortunate my existence.

My Whole Life
Rain is pouring, Ive never liked the rain. It ruins beautiful days, Leaving its gloomy stain. I’ve never liked the rain, It pulls me into bed. The rain drowns it all out, And I end up trapped in my head. I’ve never liked the rain, And the way it makes me feel. How could I like something so pitiful, I’ll never see its appeal. I’ve never liked the rain, Writing this poem, I now see. I’ve never liked the rain, Because rain is like me.

Rain is Pouring
Love should not hurt. It should not feel like drowning— drowning in you. Love should not hurt. I should not apologize for crying, when you’re the reason why. Love should not hurt. It should not feel like being torn apart, by the one who is meant to make me whole. Love should not hurt. But it does. And I can’t stop it. This love will hurt, with or without you.
