23/F Just a girl wanting to get her thoughts out there
In my head I’m still 18 I feel young and immature But I’m also reminded daily That is not the case Where did the time go? How did I get 5 years older? The world keeps moving forward But I want to stay in place Just a little longer

18 again
sometimes you just gotta sit down and write just grab the apple and take a bite just take a leap into the dark night if you want to be a poet you gotta write poems let the words go wherever the wind blows em sometimes your lines will **** other times blow you away but stay firm on that writing path don't be led astray by laziness and perfectionism saying you can't do it don't give in, knock em down push yourself right through it let the poem be what it is let its rhymes ring true knowing as much as you're writing the poem it's also writing you

being written
Take me somewhere Anywhere I’m sure it’s better Than this dump Called my mind I want to be free from thoughts That keep me up at night From daily responsibilities That occupy me Sometimes I wish I wasn’t selfless Considerate and obedient Maybe then I could “Let loose” and fulfil My heart’s desires

Let’s be strangers not friends That way we don’t have to be intimate That way we won’t worry about betrayal That way we won’t have expectations And won’t face disappointment There’ll be no commitments And no reason to be loyal If we become friends we’ll get hurt Imagine if we go further So let’s be strangers, no intros necessary

Let’s be strangers
I am tired. Not the mind kind of tired, The bone kind of tired. Not the eye kind of tired, The blood flowing in my body, kind of tired. The kind of tired that originates, Not in the world, But in me. The kind of tired, The world will never be able To get rid of, For me. Forgive me, I need to take a nap. This kind of tired is making me Tired. I am not always like this. But the world, Right now? Reminds me the tiredness that I am capable of.

Tired.
I gave you power over me You never knew you possessed An unintentional gift I would say You controlled my emotions But you had no idea I’m taking back that power To get back in control I can’t call it a gift If you didn’t receive it

You’re a hole in the ground When I’m looking for a break in the clouds
