16/F Finding inspiration for poetry is hard. And so I look towards real life, letting the inspiration come to me, and not the other way around.
floating in this wide expansion anti-dark energy condensing this universe trapping me in. i’m lost, with no way out.

in love with the Master
Pages of a book are too trivial Bah Humbug! That one's archived And 7 Years Doesn't catch me when I fall anymore... I can smile and distract myself But "I chase perfection" My personality won't run, though Stuck between confusion I'm not lonely I'm not mad I say I'm Switzerland But I end up helping both sides Thank God I'm not an open book So stop calling me depressed And stop giving me that look Everything isn't a mess So understand me, I'm tired Staying neutral is too hard Only one person can change me I hope you understand it's not you

The Tightrope I know I said he's my favorite And it's true. But, he can't always attend to my needs He can't always do everything Like I want him to do. Because he has his own life, you know? His own friends Who he likes better than me And I get that, really Maybe you don't understand But take this for example: During a birthday party, he was there I didn't talk to him at all Why? Because he acted so happy Shouting, "Why is this game teaching kids to do drugs?" When someone yelled that he got "four-twenty" coins playing Super Mario Kart And I didn't want to ruin it. Because I'm afraid Afraid if I do something I'll tip the candle And break the tightrope But you're like, he's not like that. He'll still be your friend. Whatever you did. He's not that mean, right? I'll have to remind you It wasn't always like this It took a long time For us to be even friends. I mean, think about it I thought he hated me for half a year last year, And at one point, he really did. Not even that, look before All those years That had passed And remember, When there was a barrier? That may have changed But only for one part: Online Because I'm afraid Afraid if I do something I'll tip the candle And break the tightrope I should be grateful That we got this far How he still cares Even if only a little I shouldn't be sad And so I distract myself From dreams That could never be true And then I wake up So I'm afraid Afraid if I do something I'll tip the candle And break the tightrope And blindfolded I'll fall ---------- The Candle You may be the blindfolded tightrope walker That can fall if you tip the candle But the candle is just another car crash On a highway, as The candle never burns fast enough To cut the tightrope You may get to the other side And the rope is only singed Besides, I can be the net below you So don’t be afraid I'll always be here for you

The Tightrope Walker (a two part poem)
The Tightrope I know I said he's my favorite And it's true. But, he can't always attend to my needs He can't always do everything Like I want him to do. Because he has his own life, you know? His own friends Who he likes better than me And I get that, really Maybe you don't understand But take this for example: During a birthday party, he was there I didn't talk to him at all Why?

The last time I saw your face Was you yelling at me to go away The last time I saw you online Was you saying, "I'm sorry" Now you aren't showing up You aren't coming online But then I woke up Your smile warms my heart But it breaks it when I know I have to say I'm moving. So I continue dreaming...

A Dream
How come a word can change a person's life? As petty as it may seem, it can cut someone like a scythe And forever leave a scar, as She'll leave, too far From my reach It's my fault, right? For the pain, it can teach But for the soul - it ends up in the afterlife Never to be seen again A trace is left but is like there never was one Although the memory-too strong for theft And it tortures me to say She'll remember me But I will not Goodbye

Goodbye
Don’t you ever feel alone And you realize That you may not be as alone as you think Shadows may be just a dot on the canvas But they make the masterpiece Complete Real Alive Just another misconception Maybe they aren’t really like us But could we exist without them? Just imagine… If we still have shadows We still have a sun We still have a friend That could watch our backs

A Guardian
A bird has wings to fly I do not Instead, I am an airplane Just without a pilot I try to leap But I come crashing down With no support I can’t fly Maybe you can Maybe you can help me Help me get out Out of this apocalypse And so I support on you You offer me your skill willingly And I take But there is a price You aren’t the missing part of my heart But my body My pilot My best friend

Wings
The trees blossom with pretty, intricate flowers The petals fall down gently on the shimmering lake With ducklings splashing about, enjoying the cool water The fertile grass grows almost crazily about, Roses and tulips and lilies everywhere you look But wherever I step The grass dies and so do the flowers I sit down, wistfully looking at the ducklings playing Knowing I would never be able to join them You join me, not knowing why I called you So I say, "I try my best to live my life the fullest, but sometimes I doubt myself too much." I could never be normal Too many conditions And a disease Just like with my curse of Plants dying wherever I step So you take me to a whole different world No trees in sight, but With hot, volcanic rock- the replacement for soil The landscape so bare And lonely Without life I am shocked to see That wherever I walk, Plants grow And you say, “This land is barren, and lost of life. But, with your step, you can make flowers grow. A simple flower as a symbol that all hope is not lost. You may have lost hope from being normal, but you know, You still have hope in another area. You just have to find it.”

Even in my dreams, you're there
If I'm the main character Then what are you? Some useless sidekick That will never get the praise they need? Why do you help others but never accept a "thank you"? You deserve more than this And I can't always be the one in the spotlight When you're in the audience, clapping Because no one will ever know who you really are But to me, you're always that number one
