17/Cisgender Female Wasn't a natural at writing, I'm still not. But poetry has always called me in, she said, "Fear not."
I can't shake the feeling That time is passing too quickly, I don't jump in puddles anymore. Some may say it's no big deal, "It happens to every being" But time is passing too quickly, For me to feel at home. Maybe I feel too deeply, Maybe I should flow freely But I've never felt like a child more. I can't find my footing In this big, bag world that's demeaning; Prowling at lunging at younglings, Tearing apart your heart-strings And you are supposed to bear it As if you've lived this life before. And I am supposed to live this, The time that's passing too quickly But I eant to be a little kid, Chasing butterflies, feeling giddy. Please take me back a decade ago.

Please take me back a decade ago.
Let the waves embrace me Let me float in them Because the sky may roar And the ground may shake But it's lonely on earth So let me die in the waves.

The waves
I wish poetry came to me As easily as a fish to water. I wish poetry came to me When I was happy Instead of when I'm sad. But I'm not a fish, And poetry is not water. But I'm not happy. So I pick a pen and grab a sheet, And try to write Beneath the stars and the sky. And I write and write about your eyes. And as I finish these lines, I realise even thought it did not come As easy as a fish to water, I am happy. And at the end of the day that is all that matters.

All that matters.
I wasn't made for something casual, I need the undying love, Of my beloved. I need it to be never ending, For it to cconstantly consume me. I need it to eat me out, To drown me in. And **** out my soul From within.

Love,
It surely is dramatic But i feel as if my wife divorced me And i hadn't seen it coming. And i wish that wasn't the case, but I can't ask her to come back though  Because we're not divorced  And weren't married in the first place. Yes, I'm single And no, she's not my wife. She's my best friend  Or well, she was.

Was.
I know it sounds  cliché, But it feels like I've lost an important part of myself. As we're sitting next to each other But I'm writing about our distance. It feels like the metaphors have been wiped away, Nor any simile comes to play, Maybe it was always supposed to be this way. It almost seems pointless, It seems to be in vain, As i try and fail to find the write words to express this pain.

Cliché
Would you have loved me If i was a worm? Crushed and torn Like i mattered nothing at all. Would you have searched for me n the soil ? Would you have made your hands ***** For a while? But the truth is that It doesn't matter if I'm a person or worm I would always have been Torn and torn and torn.

The contrast is thin as a thread But stark. Yet I am confused, If I am running away, Or having A new start.
