I like being alone, but not being lonely. Being in the quiet outdoors is probably the most comforting thing in the world to me. I enjoy poetry but I'm terrible at writing it. I look forward to improving and I'm just here to learn. Feedback is most welcome.
Eyes drooping due to lack of sleep, sad songs in your ears that make you weep You thought socializing brought contentment but you are filled with so much resentment. Why can't you be with the friends in those tales Instead you're all alone, with a heart that wails Silently in the night, it's no different than morning Every regret is another warning

Saturday+Sunday=these thoughts
She looked so sweet but she had black eyes That charming little smile was surprisingly sly An innocent act she continued to play There was never a rumor, for there was nothing to say She constantly, craftily, stole the upper hand Guilefully cunning, appearing offhand Triumphant she was when her deception succeeded Prancing away from the hate that she seeded Her friends were like puppets, their fate she controlled A friend to no end, when she spoke she cajoled She listened wide-eyed, and blinked in surprise She was begged to help, and begged to chastise So she fixed the stories in her own way Discarding the remnants, displayed to decay Contented and sprightly she talked very lightly So sweetly and sightly she left ever brightly. And now you know of the girl with black eyes With that charming smile that's ever so sly So don't be fooled by her false disposition Otherwise, you will find                yourself                 in a most                 unfortunate                position.

The girl with black eyes
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live a life very different from my own. Sometimes I wonder how I would react to certain situations that would never occur to me. Sometimes I wonder how people think, and if thinking a lot makes them sad or happy. Sometimes I wish I didn't think, and it's all very strange and very frightening because I'm not sure if anyone could understand. Sometimes I am just so tired that I wish I could sleep and sleep, then wake up and look at the snow outside. But when I wish for snow I get sunshine. When I wish for sunshine I get rain. And then I wonder why I wish for certain things and it makes me doubt everything I've ever thought. Sometimes I just don't know. Anything. And it can make you so frustrated that you feel like you're flickering away.

This poem is untitled
Summer showers that glisten with gold Envelope me in a warm embrace The tiny droplets that fall uncontrolled Gently drip on my smiling face The altered world through this golden mist Is strangely new in a silly way Divine are the things that the rain has kissed Dull was the world before this gold day Rocky shores off in the distance Lush green meadows all around This is such a peaceful pleasance Reclusive life size playground Such an enchanting wonderland Golden specks in the clouds of cream Summer showers fall as I stand Even if only in my dreams

Summer Showers
secrets, so many secrets things you'll never guess secrets so secret, I dare not confess. secrets that pull me far down to the ground, secrets that take me away to be drowned. these secrets, so secret are such a heavy burden I'm choking, suffocating, inside my custom prison as much as I wish, these secrets must never be spilled or else how could I feel anything but killed how could I tell you that I'm too afraid to eat how can I tell you when I can hardly speak what will you think when you know that I self harm what will you do? simply stare at my arms I don't deserve your help, I confess it is I and only I who is a part of this mess go, you are free from troubles enjoy now or it won't last enjoy it now so in your future you will have a fond past.

secrets
the three of us got in your car you let me sit shotgun which made me sort of happy though i can't really say why you drove while we rode and you didn't have your seat belt on "it's stupid rebellious things like that," I had said, "that will end up getting you pulled over" you told me to shut up or you'd make me get out of the car and so i smirked because only I could ever make a reaction like that happen so I simply said "No" and this time you seemed to smirk and so you continued to argue with me you tried to keep up but my skill was superior and I told you that myself you ignored me naturally and we violently conversed even when the car had stopped it was time for us to get out, and for him to stay but my legs refused to move me after you had left I asked of my friend "what just happened back there?" and she smirked. "Flirting, my dear," was all she had to say.

How do I get to know you?
You are like a star; brilliant and bright, and out of my reach.

my fantasy
I was dreaming about you again. Just thought that you should know I had all of your undivided attention and I knew then and there that I was in love with this moment. Even if it didn't really happen. Your lips were so tender and soft, your hands were so gentle and warm, and your eyes were so clear and beautiful, it's hard to imagine that it was all in my head. I tried to hold on to the dream for as long as possible, even when I was on the brink of consciousness, I held on to your wavering image like a life rope, like it was all I had, and all I could depend on. And your expression was so sweet when it was time to say good-bye, it was almost as if you were trying to speak to me, but I awoke before you had a chance. Perhaps tonight I'll see you again. Hopefully. Then maybe, before I wake up, you'll tell me what you've been intending to tell me before. That's why waking up is the happiest and saddest part... I know you're finally just about to speak, but then the illusion is shattered as the morning sunshine hits my eyes. But there's always the next night, and the night after that. Maybe one day, I'll finally get to speak to you, too. And maybe, just maybe, if that day ever comes, we'll both be awake.
