American I've been using poetry to get it all out since I was 15. Stumbledupon this website and thought I might begin to share some stuff, and enjoy other's thoughts. Hello, everyone.
This vicious smoke, Filtering through her nose Like the empty words that leaked While taking off her clothes. This never seemed so complex, I hope she never knows How messed up my head is Or these actions composed. To make you fall in love And believe me to the end. There's no way of knowing On these thoughts we depend. Your half-smile; a plea for cry Ignore it just for tonight, Then catch the attention of a passerby To let them figure it out.

Unpure.
Fear controls our minds sometimes And comfort is often hard to find, But I swear you'll find it in me. My own shadows scare me to stone, But I swear to God if I end up alone I'll never live this life down. Choices are made by thoughts we consume Blur it out, Bur it out, When fear overtakes, it promises doom Rise above, Rise above, Cancel out fear through each other right now, We've got nothing to worry Slow down, don't hurry And we'll be able to sleep tonight with our eyes closed somehow. Examine what makes us weak in the dark Slowly ignite it by a match and a spark. Embrace all the jumps that startle your veins, Then acknowledge the feelings and the thoughts that you've gained. Don't be a rookie in the place that we are Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on a star. Don't get lost, Don't give in, Find strength in the night, Because ultimately fear's gonna put up a fight.

Nighttime Fear
We've come from different places With bruises on our backs, And found comfort in the places Of all the things we lack. We're okay with how we're feeling, No we're not turning back. Because all your imperfections I secretly wish I had. You're a rare flower in the forest I found one perfect day, And I'm not showing anyone Because I'm scared to death you'll stray. Your interests are an art to me. We tend to share the same. But I never wanna change your mind, This is most definitely not a game. I hope that you instill in me The things I love in you. Bless you for being honest.. So genuine, So kind. Feel free to share all your thoughts, Because I honestly don't mind. Your voice will never grow weary, And your touch will never come rough. Just stay near, my dear  And we'll tackle it head on when it gets rough. And if our minds change On some strange winter day, Have faith that we'll find happiness Because we both deserve to be okay.

You pt. II
you should really see yourself In the way that I see you. I'd give up an entire day To lend you the lenses in which I see through. Black and white, yet amplified in color. My god, This tastes so sweet..  What we're finding in each other. The tone in your words are assuring And there's a fire ignited in my heart that's slowly burning. But I'm not letting you put it out. Let's embrace precious time together Talk is cheap, but this is a steal. Hold me close and call me ''feather'' And try to convince me that this is real.

You.
Eye converstation pulls me out of frusteration. Don't know where I've landed, but frankly, I don't care. And he's taking me back, God, He's taking me back. And honestly, I'm a little scared. We've started talking in code Caught on so **** fast Words don't even matter and neither does our past. His actions speak louder than his words ever will, no doubt in the fact I want to swallow him like a pill, because I'm sure I could trip on him forever. Could I please trip on you forever?

Ultimate High
The rain finally hit the glass, and I swore to God I wouldn't be the one to come in last. I'm the only one who will have my back, but I'm okay with that. I'm less ignorant than you think, and don't hesitate to think I'd be gone in a blink if I were to ever catch onto this. I ponder things you don't, I closely examine the words you spoke and replay them in my head, then hit myself in the face for being misled.

spur of the moment
tiny bits of you embedded in me. tiny bits of me embedded in you. fused together by a spark that's wearing out.

tiny bits
These "fun years" are wearing off like bright pink nail polish, and this routine is like eating the same bowl of cereal every day. These days aren't living up to their expectations. so, maybe, possibly, perhaps, it gets better than this? harder... more fulfilling challenging yet, more enjoyable? I wanna get settled, settled, settled. Stick me into the wet soil somewhere, just as long as I grow to my fullest potential and I get picked and end up adding color to someone's kitchen.

Corroding.
The formation of the stars collapsed this time I'm dragging my feet along a road I've never seen before. I've never, in my life, been this scared. They do me no good out here - those memories I've stored They only bring tears And never fail to force me to regret I'm an ignorant being with no sense of direction There's a few people I wish I hadn't met Oh, those stars... they used to guide me home. It's lonely out here when it's only me Oh, those stars, they kept me company Left me to rest assured each night They lie beside me to tell me it would be all right Now there's not a single soul to tell me it will be okay But with another day, comes a chance for another star.

Lost, for now
I want to put you in front of a mirror And watch you watch yourself But if you asked me to take your place, I'd refuse. I've got too many flaws; most you've no idea of. And if you put me under that light, you'd turn away. Disgusting. You think you know me, but I don't even know me. Every single day I find another flaw in that mirror. Some are non erasable. Others are changeable. I'm terrified one day I'll step in front of that mirror and fall to the ground. I never cease to surprise myself, But an even greater fear- surprising you.
