17/M Im new to writing, still figuring out my voice. / I write to give shape to things I dont know how to express otherwise. / I dont write for a big audience, but for the few who find themselves in these poems.
there are countless conversations buried in my throat like those „I love you” I swallowed like fish bones and before they slip out I start to choke and when they see it... those eyes pierce me with disgust and the worst part isn’t the choking or the eyes it’s that I chose this tongue

MUTE CONVO
I am a bad person objectively and good person subjectively so, what am I? I don't know but I know that tests are graded through mistakes and not rights

Red Underline
there is a sponge in my chest and it never wrings itself out they pour into me without thinking anger, sorrow, happiness like I’m just somewhere to leave things it sits inside me and doesn’t leave room for me when I try to speak it comes out in a borrowed shape nothing is clean nothing is mine and I can’t tell anymore what was mine or if anything was which water was mine to spill and whose was meant for someone else to drink but even sponges don’t own what they hold

DRY WATER
if you question it it was never certain standing in the rain wet to the bone a boy wondering wandering questioning reasoning talking to the empty street and a lamppost speaking his mind about everything and nothing his voice shaking between the drops the lamppost flickering like it's tired from listening for a moment he stops thinking he hears an answer but no just the rain hitting the concrete and it never answered it just kept falling

If You Question It
if love falls apart it was never love but try telling that to a boy on his bedroom floor hands over his face counting the months like they never stopped july sits next to him on that bench replaying those night walks and talks that smelled like oranges where they planned a life that never happened she was never going to choose him and he knew that’s the worst part not the silence not the wait not even that “no” but the way he stayed and the way she didn’t he doesn’t miss her no but the version of him she took with her

July
Some things aren’t meant to be said Some are meant to be seen Some are meant to be felt But others are meant to be lived Everyone has those moments where, if you could, you would freeze time just to keep them from fading It could be the first time your lips almost meet and suddenly you forget how to breathe properly like the world pauses but no one told it to Or the first time silence doesn’t feel awkward just heavy in a good way like saying everything without saying anything Or maybe that moment when you catch her looking into your eyes and everything else goes quiet the crowd disappears and for a second it’s just you and her you notice the way she almost smiles before looking away But unfortunately we can’t stop time We can’t even slow it down And maybe that’s for the better Because the moment you realize it won’t last that’s the moment you actually start living it Only then you start enjoying those moments hoping for them to happen again despite knowing that they won’t last And that’s why some things aren’t meant to be said, seen or felt But are meant to be lived

BUILT FOR A MOMENT
My plan was simple, to fade into the background light. To stand in a corner, or maybe outside the venue. I thought I’d only get in your way, ruin your night, your once-in-a-lifetime party. So I told myself I’d stay aside. Let you have your fun. And I’d just watch you from a distance, just to see if you were okay… if you missed me at all. I didn’t want to stand too close. I was scared I’d be too much, too boring, too awkward, something that would make you uncomfortable and take away from your night. But then I sat down for a drink, trying to pull myself together for a moment. And I heard my name across the venue. It wasn’t you. It was your friend. I looked up, confused, why would she be calling me? She came over and said you’d been looking for me everywhere. Calling my phone. Asking people. Running through the whole place. I didn’t even have time to process it properly before I felt someone grab my arm. It was you. Breathing fast. Excited. Frustrated. Out of breath from searching. „Where have you been”, you said, half laughing, half relieved. „I looked everywhere.” And I just stood there, stunned. Because you were actually looking for me. You pulled me with you immediately, through the crowd, the noise, the dance floor. Holding my hand tightly, moving like we were trying to lose something, or someone, inside the chaos. Lights flashing above us, music shaking everything around us, bodies everywhere. But even with all of that, I could hear you clearly. Not through words, but through the way you moved. The way you pulled me forward. The way you kept checking if I was still there. Every few moments, you’d turn back, just to see me. Your hand kept finding mine again. Holding it tighter each time, like you needed to make sure I wouldn’t slip away. Our fingers dancing when they touched like this was common for them. Sometimes you wouldn’t even speak. You’d just come over, pull me closer, and kiss me, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Maybe it was the alcohol giving you more confidence to do the things you did, to hold me that tight, to kiss me without hesitation. But it didn't feel like a blur, but it felt like a confession. Even when I had to sit down after twisting my leg, you kept coming back. Every few minutes. No explanation. No distance. Just you appearing again, like you couldn’t stay away for long. And somewhere in all of that, I stopped trying to disappear. Because you didn’t let me. You kept me with you, right in the middle of the noise, the lights, the people. Like I wasn’t someone you had to search for but someone you already knew you wanted beside you. So I stayed.
