A shattered mirror
A broken heart

For I see no difference

Both have pieces that can give you scars
Both have pieces you find over years of time
Both have pieces you'll never ever find

Broken glass, all over the floor
Broken emotions laid out, so sore

You'll bleed out in till you've been drained

Of the once whole piece you had, as it said
"Don't forget me"
And you forgot it
And forgot some more
In till all that is left is an empty shell

Of who I once was.

I fell into my pillows
On my big soft bed
And dreamed a dream so loud
They heard it all, and it led
To a far away land
Where its all soft
And happy inside
And maybe,
Just maybe,
I can be myself
And finally be free

Don't talk to me
Nor look at me
Because I wish to be invisible
My dignity very fragile

You scroll through my chats
On my social media, they aren't so flat
They have private things, embarrassing things
Things I'd rather you not see

But you saw the words
And laughed at my hurt
And you told my family
And I'm embarrassed.

I don't care if I'm not in trouble now,
I will be later, because you looked through my chats
You looked through my stuff
And that stuff was private.

My parents say no,
Stay away from YouTube.
It is all filled with wrong,
Nothing good comes out of it

But what they don't understand,
Is the real reason I watch
And they don't get,
That some are very good.

Without YouTubers, I never would get to laugh
My days filled with boredom and sadness
Without them, oh my oh my
So many sad sons and daughters...

You would have a shell,
Filled with not much.
Just a shell with probably more scars,
Than you could ever count.

These YouTubers, bring some out of depression
It's the only thing they have left in this world
The only thing they can look up to,
Because you're never around.

So let them watch,
And let them laugh
Because some Youtubers,
Are all they have left.

we write because we are told
we write because we are cold

so why write poetry?

is it to obey
is it to simply misbehave
is it due today
is it more than what we say

if not
why do you write poetry?

because I can
&
because I am

we are made to feel
we are made to speak
some people are quiet
and others are bleak

words are expressive and alive
but some words are best left to die

An open-soul surgery
A judgment for my sins
Will I go to heaven?

Or suffer the wrath of hell?

I lay on the operation table
Waiting for a verdict...

"Undecided."
I don't know what that means
I ask for further explanation
They hesitate to give an answer.

Oh, that's it?
A mixed up soul.
A messed up life.

A little of every emotion,
All balled up into one.
That's what they see in my soul.

They see sin, and kindness. An even amount.
So I guess that's just me,
"Undecided."

I'll tell you my secret
Maybe another
Because I trust that
You won't speak of it

So I tell you, and you go home
Then the next day
They all know about it...
Wonder how that happened.

Now they laugh at me
And tease me for my life
But you told them the wrong thing...
Did you listen at all?

So not only did you betray me,
And my trust,
But now I know,
You didn't even care

So now I keep my secrets
All bottled up
And since you left me,
I have no friends to share them with
