English I am usually more of a songwriter than a poet, but I intend to post more poems on here. Any feeling, any realisation, and anything I can think of, I will attempt to write about.
Dearest Ana, You’re in my head. Dearest Ana, And people said This won’t end well. Dearest Ana, You always yell I’m not good enough. Dearest Ana, But it’s too tough Now it’s hard. Dearest Ana, I use shards Glass metal and others alike. Dearest Ana, They cut and stab and slice It’s your fault, Dearest Ana, That I want to halt Give me courage, Dearest Ana, To turn my last page.

Dearest Ana
Leaning left and right, Another day spent in bed. My clothes hang loose yet are too tight. I can’t unread things that I have read, Nor can I unsee pictures of them, Protruding, piercing and sharp, Thinking of and wishing over again Is it worth it? A change of heart, A change of everything, My body, my mind and my emotions, Just so my clothes don’t cling, Some just laugh at the notion, They can’t see it inside My head, my complexity, I want to wither, I want to hide. They think it’s vain but it’s my extremity. All I want is to smile at my reflection I want to be the proof of my declaration I will try, persevere and strive But is it worth it when I’m not alive? I know I won’t stop, I know this is my end, This is obsession, not vanities latest trend. All I want… is not to want.

All I Want
I'm probably not your favourite person, I’m always upset, angry or down. But I promise I’ll always love you, Even when I’m not around. You’ve done what nearly everyone can’t do, the simple things that mean the most. A smile. Meaningful and because of you. You can find me when I feel lost. I’m sorry that I can’t be happy, With myself, my life and everything else. So you should learn that if you’re alone or down, You shouldn’t be anyone but yourself. I love you, you and only you, I love what you’ve done for me, And everything you’ll ever do.

Thank you, My Sophie
I know I won’t be here After the next few years. I know I’ll be gone As I know right from wrong. This life we live, None of it I can give, For whether it be in decades or now, I will end this somehow. Nothing is real, neither am I, It’s in my mind, I try To make sense of it all. I can’t, it falls, My faith, it tumbles, My sanity, it crumbles. In the corner I rock and cry, But you can’t say I didn’t try…

Too Long Already
My skin it slices, With pain comes pleasure. It’s me, my crisis It hurts too much to measure. I know I shouldn’t, But what’s to stop me? I need to try but I couldn’t, Who else am I supposed to be? I scar on the outside, I scab and bleed and cry, But it’s the thing on the inside, The numbness is there so I can’t try. To help myself. To help them. I’m not myself, But only for him.

Only for Him
Pick up a crumb And stare at a slice I can’t help but think These can make you feel nice. I’m forced to succumb And it stings like ice I dread to think That this is my life. Even just a thought Of what it could do It makes me feel guilty And full of disgust too. This can end in distraught And everything it can do Seemingly is only to be Thin for everyone Thin for you. In fact it’s a habit Now it’s my daily routine Now I want to hide it away Nowhere to be seen. I want it rid of I want it gone Even if it kills me But if I die I’ll be done.

Gone
I saw her Across the room, Shades of grey To flowers bloom. The Rose: beautiful Both in substance and in sight, Just as so as she looks alight. Her blonde curls, They sit aside her heart Glad to be a part. I smiled as I saw her, She did the same, the girl, Laura.

I Saw Her
If the truth was enough, I'd say it. If holding you wasn't so tough, I'd do it. If what happened Didn't destroy me, we could try again. It did, so we cannot be. Ever. Possibilities, there shouldn't be, Restrictions: Too many, or lack of? It's impossible to feel this way, Changed and not for a better day. Changed, but maybe, for the better? Seemingly so, It was resolved a time ago, But it goes to show, I'll never say no.

Changed
I used to feel, Feel like collapsing, Slipping away, crumbling. I used to feel, Feel like there was no hope, My fate depended on a rope, A thread. Now I feel, I feel complete, Solved, like a puzzle. Pieces scattered, Seemingly back in place. But like a puzzle, You can see the cracks. The pieces holding me together, Stopping me from falling apart. You. I feel you. I am the puzzle and you are the logic, You are the glue, you are my thread, My rope.

My Rope
Friends, family and strangers of the past, Those who exist no more Lie, decaying and crumbling beneath the grass. Those who walked upon this floor, Those who felt well, Those who were afraid Prance and dance around the great bell, Replaying the ringing heard through the decades. The snow falls, glittering white on mossed stone. The sun shines, rays upon the engravings. The leaves fall, they roam and then are gone, They lay next to those that wanted saving. To see myself as I am now, And to see myself in a hundred years from now, It saddens me, it scares me That I’ll just be another memory, Then faded and forgotten.
