alara-1 - Hello Poetry

I think it's meditation, But you take it as a distraction. I think you have more depth than you know, But you refuse to visualize my perspective. Teach me. Drive me in your fast car. Keep driving me away from the worries that envelope my mind. Spoil me with metal flowers And smiles that make me laugh till I cry. I was stupid to lend my heart to lovers Who played with it as an object of lust. I was ludicrous for walking away Because every time I race back I realize how lively being in your presence can be.

Fast Car

I think it's meditation, But you take it as a distraction. I think you have more depth than you know, But you refuse to visualize my perspective. Teach me. Drive me in your fast car. Keep driving me away from the worries that envelope my mind. Spoil me with metal flowers And smiles that make me laugh till I cry. I was stupid to lend my heart to lovers Who played with it as an object of lust. I was ludicrous for walking away Because every time I race back I realize how lively being in your presence can be.

Overflowing With uncontrollable self harm. Not physical, But a mental means of distruction. Hopelessness, It swallows the mind, Leaving nothing but raw sockets That pour pain through the eyes. Blind to what really matters And a mortifying obsession with what does not. Mind of a lover, Yet mind of a hunter, Along with mind of a victim combined, A spectacular state of self deprecation And nothing seems to go right. Unable to notice the greatness And a crystal clear vision for weakness Over and over, a head to the wall. The personality of a devil Trapped inside an angle, And back again with a hopeless head to the wall. When will she feel the greatness? When will she see the greatness? When will she live for the greatness?

The skin is our only layer or armor Hard to believe Because it is so delicate A smile is a rebellion From the emotions of the heart You walk through life Wearing a mask on the streets And come home to a broken smile That has been hiding behind your lips Will your problems ever be solved? When will your self-hatred come to an end? No one can help you You are alone You are not pretty What are you thinking? Put on your mask Dance among the stars Just to come home To cry about the scars You are not your only enemy As everyone wants to say That **** is just fantasy Everyone gets in your way You are a reflection of the negativity to come So prepare yourself And cover all you have to hide Again and again It never goes away

I know these are the things you will never say, Because your mind is simply not made up this way But I wish you'd tell me That you were burdened by the expectations of the world, And the reason why you let go of the so thought strong rope holding us together Was not my fault, But it was from your incapability to find balance within yourself. I wish you'd explain That life became a steep climb upon a large mountain And you seemed to be carrying the weight of the world upon your shoulders. And to make this journey simple, you let go of the things that were holding you back. And one of those "things" you let fall behind Was me. I wish you'd look into my eyes and say That you had made a mistake Because you never seem to acknowledge That the day I lost you, Was the same day I lost my best friend. And it pains me, That your lost mind can't make sense of how I feel, And what I say. You are still lost in the expectations of the word Because you so easily shattered such a beautiful thing.

You say I was too attached But boy, I don't think you understand the difference Between passion and obsession.

As I lie on my floor today, My mind makes its way back to yesterday When your hand reached for mine As I lay next to you. You said that you could hear the beat of my heart, The heart that beats just for you Your embrace is like a dream One of those which you wish to never wake from And through each embrace, You define love With a definition so great, That I never thought possible.

Embrace

As I lie on my floor today, My mind makes its way back to yesterday When your hand reached for mine As I lay next to you. You said that you could hear the beat of my heart, The heart that beats just for you Your embrace is like a dream One of those which you wish to never wake from And through each embrace, You define love With a definition so great, That I never thought possible.

The night is cold The ground, dressed in a blanket of fresh snow. She wears a dress, a feeling so new, And he, a suit, tall and confident he stands. When their eyes first meet, Walls are broken And not a single feeling can hide. Every single hand holding them back, Every second guess, Every fear, All vanish within the glance. They were both lost Within the expectations of the world But now these walls of confusion have fallen, And they are left in awe at the freedom they have. She, so beautiful He, so handsome The night, so spectacular This feeling, so raw. It has only taken a glance at the windows to their souls To realize how foolish it was Trying to hide this feeling, hide what was always meant to be.

Spectacular Night

The night is cold The ground, dressed in a blanket of fresh snow. She wears a dress, a feeling so new, And he, a suit, tall and confident he stands. When their eyes first meet, Walls are broken And not a single feeling can hide. Every single hand holding them back, Every second guess, Every fear, All vanish within the glance. They were both lost Within the expectations of the world But now these walls of confusion have fallen, And they are left in awe at the freedom they have. She, so beautiful He, so handsome The night, so spectacular This feeling, so raw. It has only taken a glance at the windows to their souls To realize how foolish it was Trying to hide this feeling, hide what was always meant to be.

We all search for ways that we can escape our realities A moment of peace far from the hectic lives that we live We beg for change A day that won't be like the rest of those meaningless repetitive days They say to live in the moment Savor each and every second of every single day But how is this possible when we walk through life Without realizing where all our time has gone As of now we are stuck When was the last time we enjoyed ourselves The last time we didn't dread our next step The last time we smiled and fell in love We must step back and take time for ourselves So we can appreciate the values of our lives And give life as much meaning as it can hold

Escape?

We all search for ways that we can escape our realities A moment of peace far from the hectic lives that we live We beg for change A day that won't be like the rest of those meaningless repetitive days They say to live in the moment Savor each and every second of every single day But how is this possible when we walk through life Without realizing where all our time has gone As of now we are stuck When was the last time we enjoyed ourselves The last time we didn't dread our next step The last time we smiled and fell in love We must step back and take time for ourselves So we can appreciate the values of our lives And give life as much meaning as it can hold

Life is supposedly the eternal flower That instantly wilts in your hands. All of these efforts, Followed by unexpected outcomes, Messes with the mind. The euphoric elements of our childhoods Slip through the gaps between our fingers, And we are introduced to reality, Which we refer to as the things we despise, And wish to run away from forever. But no matter how far you run, Or how deep you dream, It will always find and catch you And rid you from your happiness.

The tears that blur my vision burn As they run down my face But I feel my heart shiver In the cave of my chest. As the night approaches, I begin to ponder my existence. I wonder why life is such a hell of a friend. Always breaking my heart, Sending evil thoughts to my head. I am alone, I am depressed, I am not myself. Life laughs in my ear, Reminding me of the faults I have made, The fears that I have. She always seems to win every fight. She feels no pity for my pain. And her laugh goes on and on Trickling down my spine Sending a shiver that shocks my heart And I am left unable to breath. Life is inconsiderate and very unfair She always wins.
