Oh What a Wish
Alex Nov 2018
Oh what a wish it is
To have a wish come true

Oh what I'd wish for
If I could just have one

Maybe to see you just again
To laugh with you once more

Maybe to talk to you again
Play with toys together

Oh what a wish it is
To have my childhood friend be my friend once more.

voices in my head
Alex Nov 2018
I can't speak
I can't breathe
I can't see
My life as it is

My mind changes it all
Seemingly on purpose
And breaks my sanity
Bit by bit

At night I imagine cruel scenarios
That makes it hard to sleep
So I just lay there
Listening to them

During the day I seem to hear the most
Especially at school
I only hear the whispers of me
And the laughs are cruel

Throughout my life
I hear these disgusting voices in my head
Why can't I just stop listening
And make up my own instead?

I Saw Her Again in the Rain
Alex Nov 2018
When the wind howls
And the thunder shrieks
And the lightning blinds
And the walls seem to creak

I will hold my own hands
Folded in my lap
And sit outside
Listen to the water "tap... tap... tap"

And on the porch, as I sit
I see a figure, soaking wet
I invite her inside for a cup of tea
And treat her nicely, as you see

She leaves after the storm, thanking me
I wave goodbye and welcome her anytime
I go to my hallway, dark and full of drawers
And I open one, dusty and old

I see her smiling face, as she hugs me
And my happy eyes, laughing
Little does that figure remember, that her and me
Used to believe in ever after, happily

I close the book, hiding the photos
I hug it close, not wanting to let it go
That's my problem, as you see
I can let go of memories.

Crash
Alex Oct 2018
No one got hurt
Physically, maybe though
Us three mentally

It seemed like a dream
All one blur, maybe
A sinister scenario

At home, we all sit
Saying, "We're fine."
But maybe we should all just cry

Til' the memory subsides

Big World
Alex Oct 2018
I look around at the vast blue sky

Little white clouds sprinkled all over

A big yellow sun bright enough to blind you.

I look down at the blades of grass

Millions spread for miles.

I think about the big cities, and all the people on Earth.

And I think about how big the universe is.

And I think about all the big people who changed this big big world.

And I'm reminded how little I am.

How Far Would You Go...
Alex Oct 2018
How far would you go,

To save me from jumping
Off the highest bridge

To save me from crying
Almost every night

To save me from screaming
Until my lungs give out

To save me from people judging
My self-love out

How far would you go

To help me
Before it's too late

How do we think?
Alex Sep 2018
How do we think?

Well some may think its chemical reactions
And nerves at work
But what if it's much more
Than just your brain at work?

What if it's spirits
Of loved ones in your head
Family guiding you
Through this life, til death?

Maybe it's you
Hearing things that aren't really there
Your brain telling itself
If something is good or bad?

Or it could just be science
Something to do with nerves
But what if the thing we do everyday
Is something we'd never think it really is?
Sep 2018 · 117
Existential Crisis
Alex Sep 2018
Our hearts are cold voids
Yearning to be filled
Yearning for some life form
To help us out

Our souls are blacker than midnight
Waiting to be helped
Needed some distraction
To help us become filled

Our minds are raging storms
No ending to be seen
Constantly breaking us down
Piece, by piece

Our bodies are a temple
That's what they say
But we still cut
Almost everyday

These are the things
No one seems to understand
They think we can be fixed
But the truth is, we probably never can
Sep 2018 · 207
Blink
Alex Sep 2018
I blink
And age another few years

I watch as family grows
Older, and more distant

I watch as friends come, and go
I have no control over them

I watch as I try to keep myself together
Try not to just scream everything inside me away

I blink
And age another few years

And see the same things
Happen all over again

The Flames, Ablaze
Alex Sep 2018
The flames grow
And grow
        And float
                Above the clouds

I can watch and stare
As long as I please
Though I know
I'll never catch one

If I catch one
My hand will set ablaze
And It will hurt me, and burn me
          Untill
                   I
                     Am
                          No
                              More
Than a simple pile of ash

I can't speak to you
Or disagree with you
I have to nod my head
In agreement with you

I want to tell you
     "I don't believe that"
       "I support that"
         "But that is okay"

Instead I nod my head and say to you
        "Yeah"
                   "I know right"
        "It's not okay"

The flames are my thoughts
And my truest, deepest feelings

My hand is my courage
To open up

You are my head
My whole being
Not letting me

And I let you do that to me

You may ask why I don't confess
Or fight for my beliefs
But I promise you, I can't
Because I don't want my own family to hate me.
Sep 2018 · 119
I can...
Alex Sep 2018
I can sleep, and sleep
And dream all I want
But will I ever reach that dream
Will what I do be enough?

I can look, and look
At the people on the street
And I can see them
But can they see me?

I can listen, and hear
The cars passing by
The music from the skies
But will anyone hear me as I try, and try?

I can feel, and touch
Everything soft
And be happy
But will what I write touch someone's heart?

I want to help, I want to understand
And this may sound selfish
And maybe it is
But can someone help me too?

Because I just wanna help you..

Body Talk
Alex Sep 2018
If our body could talk, what would it say?

Would our legs complain
About walking all day?

Would our eyes scream
At some things we have seen?

Would our arms talk
All day, non-stop?

Would our ears cry
At the things we hear and try?

Would our stomachs yearn
For food, maybe just a little more?

Is your mind silent
Either calm or numb?

Or is it screaming
Just waiting to be told
That it's okay?

Tired
Alex Sep 2018
I'm tired of people
I'm tired of hearing

I'm tired of feeling
I'm tired of seeing

I'm tired of turning
Everything upside down

I'm tired of life
And tired of feeling down
Sep 2018 · 164
Friends
Alex Sep 2018
I swallow air, as I'm pulled back under
The waves force me deeper, and deeper
    I look at the beach and the fun      
Secretly wishing I could be there to

I swim above once more
As I always do
No one seemed to notice me
Well, until you

You swam out to me
As I went under
You grabbed my hand
And held me closer

You left, but more came
And soon I reached the shore
And finally, maybe
I can enjoy life some more

I know you may leave,
And more may come
But I still love you guys
No matter what.

Lights
Alex Sep 2018
Fairy lights
Hung on the wall

I'd count each one
So bright and small

They look just like the stars
All up in the night sky

I'd hang those on my wall
If only I were that tall

So I'll just lay down and stare
At the lights, and at the stars

And I'll dream about the brightness
Of each tiny thing

And I'll be reminded
Maybe you do care

Sick
Alex Aug 2018
I can't breath
My nose all stuffed

My throat itches
And feels super puffed

I feel like dying
Or throwing up

Whenever I'm sick
Or have just had enough
Aug 2018 · 142
Drip Drop
Alex Aug 2018
Drip drop
A little rain

Drip drop
The pain still stays

Drip drop
I won't take it anymore

Drip drop
A rush of blood

Drip drop
I am no more

Little Girl
Alex Aug 2018
A little girl, in her room
Playing with dolls, out of the way of all doom

The little girl, now a bit older
Carries little burden, she is sober
She runs around the house happily,
But one night, she doesn't sleep

The teen girl, still growing up
Thought she had it all figured out
Thought she would never be this stuck
But with all the sleepless nights,
And all the memories in her head
That little girl, will never be the same again.

The girl, eyes deprived of life
Lies in her room, in the dead of night
The blood rushes onto the carpet,
And onto the dolls
As the once little girl
Couldn't take it anymore
Alex Aug 2018
My breath is steam
As it flows from my mouth
The freezing air all around me,
Mixed with the heat of my breath

I step in the snow
And it crunches underneath
And I feel bad,
When I feel the snows pain

My steps seem to fuel the snow,
Seems to help it grow.
As do the other steps of other people,
Yet can I only feel it?

I step on the road, to avoid the snow
But others still step on it
Do they know how I feel
When they do so?

They must think walking in the snow,
Is fun and amusing,
But it they stepped in the snow with my head,
Would they continue, or would they stop?

I question this, and find myself walking
Walking towards the snow again
It hurts, even the first step
But I know I'll never escape it

For the snow knows my heart and soul
Aug 2018 · 90
Night
Alex Aug 2018
I awake to the darkness.

I can't see, I can't hear, I can't breathe
Yet I can feel the loneliness

And sadness

Inside.

In the room I sit,
Since I guess I can't
Escape so I'll just fit
In with the darkness within

Cause no one likes the sick

I awake in the light,
But I don't feel happy, nor relieved

I hear the sounds of the birds chirping, and cars passing
But I don't like it, nor do I want to breathe

I miss the peace of the dark, I miss the stillness of the night

I wish I could just stay in my dream forever
They say that'll make me go insane..



But what if I already am,
What if I'm trapped inside?
Aug 2018 · 152
Back To School
Alex Aug 2018
The time of getting new supplies
And buying new clothes

The time students take time
To memorize their routes

The time teachers dread,
And students too

And the time I feel most insecure,
Cause I'm around you.

A Message For The Night
Alex Aug 2018
Oh night, oh night,
Why can't you stay?
I don't want to face
anyone today.

Oh night, oh night,
Please don't go..
I don't feel like
getting up today.

Oh night, oh night,
I find peace with the moon
And the stars in the sky,
more than the sun at noon

Oh night, oh night,
I hate when you leave me
With the noise and the
scary scenery.

Oh night, oh night,
How I hate goodbye's,
Just promise me you won't leave
me here to die.

Because somehow the day is darker,
Than the shadows at midnight,
Please come save me,
Oh night, oh night.

Guarded
Alex Aug 2018
Over the years I have grown my own armor
They have struck me, and embarrassed me
Now no one can see me

I'm scared to say "You're welcome" when someone thanks me
I don't know if they were sarcastic, and trying to get a laugh out of my stupidity

I'm scared to open up, in case someone is quick to judge me
Like they were quick to decide they only wanted to make fun of me

I'm scared to talk, in case my voice fails
And I fall into the black void again, just because I'm embarrased

I'm scared of all these things, but the thing that terrifies me most,
No matter how good my armor is,
I'm never going to be confident enough.

!eRroR!
Alex Aug 2018
this is an error message.
the poem you are looking for is much to broken for anyone to read. please just keep scrolling.














or not.. well i guess heres a poem then.

All I see are shapes and colors in an empty void.
An empty world, full of empty people.
I can feel, yet I have no emotion.
"Does anyone understand?" I will ask to the world.
No one hears, it seems as if they are deaf to actual problems.

The rich and happy are the ones who get pity when hurt the smallest bit.
The poor and broken are just tossed away.
We are so quick to judge in this awful society,
Unable to break free from the chains.

So that's why we write, it's a small escape.
A small bit of hope in an empty void with shapes and colors.
And that's why we have to help each other,
But we can't..
Because it's far to cold outside.
Alex Aug 2018
A crash of thunder, a breath...

I hear it getting closer
It seems to get heavier
I am scared, but less than before
My shoulders and body relax.

I relax.

But as soon as I got comfortable with the ghost in my room,
It left, and all was silent
Then it came back once more, louder and heavier

Yet somehow I was not prepared.

1000 Words
Alex Aug 2018
A picture is worth 1000 words,
But you are worth much more to me

You are worth 1000 stars
Spread across the universe

You are worth 1000 diamonds
Because you are the rarest of them all

You are worth 1000 pictures
Worth 1,000,000 words

You are worth 1000 more
Than you may think you are

Just A Young Girl
Alex Aug 2018
I step on the walking stones
I don't know where they lead
I just hope they don't lead me home
Where I have planted a dangerous seed

Mama left dad and me all alone
And dad got sad and drank a lot
He walked around like a mindless drone
I tried to hide away, but I was caught

He got mad at me, and began to shout
He began to hit me, he was very mad
And in my mind, well I had no doubt
That this was my fault, that dad would never be glad

He drank more, he hit more
And mama never came back
She didn't save me from the horror
And I felt it was love I was always destined to lack

So I walk away, after very long years
On the stepping stones
Many bruises, many tears
But maybe in heaven I'll be less alone

So no matter what world, I'll love you all.

Write
Alex Jul 2018
As dawn rises over the soft grass,
And soon above the tall trees
I stay inside,
And just write

As afternoon soon comes,
And dusk right after
I stay up at night,
And just write

I write emotions,
Of fear
Sadness
Happiness

I write stories,
Of struggle
Love
Hate

I write when I have no one else
To vent to,
To hang out with,
To stay inside with

I write for the public
So I can show them
How I really feel
About them

So I'll just stay inside today,
And all through the night,
So I can be happier
And just write.

Silence
Alex Jul 2018
The broken cry,
Some left to die.

The children laugh,
Their lives not broken in half.

The terrified scream,
Even in their dreams.

But the numb stay silent,
Cause it's all they ever hear.


Silence.

The Rose Without Thorns
Alex Jul 2018
All roses need thorns
For protection
From whatever comes their way

They always seem prepared.

But I'm a rose too,
Just without thorns
So why am I looked down upon?
Is it because I'm different?
I don't understand

I grew up without my thorns
So I cried a lot
They said I was a baby
But I just wasn't strong like them

Life likes to play with me

It throws things at me
Bad, mean things
But I have no thorns
And now I know why they don't like me
Why they tease me

It's because nobody likes a weakling.
And everybody loves to **** them.
From the inside out
IN TILL NOTHING IS LEFT BUT A SHELL OF A HUMAN. IN TILL THEY HAVE BROKEN HER SO MUCH, THAT SHE KILLS HERSELF. AND NOW WHAT? ARE YOU GONNA LAUGH AT THAT?

no

because they've moved on
because nobody cared about a rose without thorns
but that's okay
because she doesn't have to see you again




Lucky her.

Broken Pieces
Alex Jul 2018
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.
Jul 2018 · 88
Pillows
Alex Jul 2018
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
Jul 2018 · 77
Private
Alex Jul 2018
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.
Jul 2018 · 128
YouTubers
Alex Jul 2018
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.

Soul Surgery
Alex Jul 2018
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."
Jul 2018 · 64
Secrets
Alex Jul 2018
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

The Tunnel
Alex Jul 2018
My arms...
And my legs...
I can't move at all

The light
At the end of this
Deep tunnel...

It shrinks every struggle
I come across
But what I don't know...

Is there any light at all?

Stuck
Alex Jul 2018
My feet were stuck
Onto the ground
I couldn't move...
I couldn't save you

Something was blocking the way
Called my own misunderstandment
It kept me from reaching
My hand out to you

So I had to stare, as you crumbled
My best, best friend
You fell apart into pieces
Because your sadness had won

Understand
Alex Jun 2018
I want to know you
And help you stand
But I just can't...
Understand.

I want to help you
Through these troubled times
But what if I can't...
Understand?

I don't want you to feel lonely
Hated, nor sad
Just please tell me whats going on,
Let me Understand.

Divorce
Alex Jun 2018
I go to a silent corner
In my closet space
To hide from the horror
That has taken place

My mom is yelling
So is my dad
But I don't know why
I was just a little kid

My daddy goes away
To his mothers house
And my mom tries to explain to me
Why daddy left us now

She says they just didn't click
It had nothing to do with me
But what my mother doesn't know
Is that she is raising a sad kid

I blame myself
For dad leaving mom
And even my sisters
Two who understood what had taken place

And in that corner
Near my art and clay
I cry in memory
Of that horrid day

Little Ball Of Light
Alex Jun 2018
He flew to me
In my dreams
Holding little ***** of light

He gave me one
And I kept good care of it
My cute little ball of light

But the world corrupted it
And now what was once my little ball of dreams
Is now nightmares of despair

But my little ball of light shall not perish
Because I will do anything
To help it

But he came back, and he saw
What had happened, but he wasn't mad.
He simply healed the ball and walked away

Glass Of Water
Alex Jun 2018
I'm like a glass of water.

If you hit me, I might shatter
If you scream at me, I might crack
If you use me, I'll be drained of my life, the water, little by little
If you knock me down, every drip of life will fall out of me.
Drip by drip
Tear by tear

So please treat me right
Because you have no clue
How fragile I can be

Beautiful Girl
Alex Jun 2018
I have a friend
Her name is beautiful girl
Beautiful girl is pretty
I love beautiful girl

Beautiful girl is sad
I want to help beautiful girl
But I am not beautiful enough for her
So I distance myself

I decide to try to help beautiful girl
I love it when I get her to smile
She has a pretty smile
And a pretty laugh

Beautiful girl is still sad
Really sad...
She left me.
Now I have nothing

I miss you beautiful girl
Why did you leave me?
I tried to make you happy
But I guess i couldn't help

Repeat
Alex Jun 2018
Wash...
Rinse...

Cry...

Sometimes life can be a movie
With unexpected twists and turns,
But for me...

It seems to be the same game...
Over...
Over...
And over...

Changing Things
Alex Jun 2018
I adjust the temperature
Hot to cold,
Cold to hot,
But nothing seems to work.

I change my clothes
Casual to fancy,
Fancy to baggy,
But nothing seems to work.

I do my makeup
Natural or glamorous?
Glamorous or settle?
But nothing seems to work

I do these many things,
All around my home
But nothing seems to change
My lack of self love.

Alone
Alex Jun 2018
Trapped
In an empty
And dark
Room

I look
Around
For any kind of
Help

Is anyone there?
Does anybody wish to help?
I do...
I'll help myself like always

So I stand
And walk
To the empty edges
Of this dark room

I find light
But once again
I am tired
And I never reach it

You help me stand
A new friend?
No...
You just leave me again

But it's okay
I'm used
To the dark room
  of Abandondment

Lost Friends
Alex Jun 2018
Let us sit together

And listen to the songs

We can look above

As we share our fears



My friends and I, we know no love

But for eachother

So--

What are we waiting for?



The first one who left,

She was so special

But her family was torn apart,

And she took the pills



She fell on the floor, oh what a sight

And with a final breath

She spoke to the night,

She said,



Look what this world did to me.

I couldn't take no more

But remember, when you look above,

I'll be looking right at you.

Don't worry-

You'll forget me.

I couldn't take the world head on

So now- I'm gone.



The next two girls,

What a future

They had...

In store



But the abuse and fear

Drove them to death,

So they cut their wrists

And said



Look what this world did to me.

I couldn't take no more

But remember, when you look above,

I'll be looking right at you.

Don't worry-

You'll forget me.

I couldn't take the world head on

So now- I'm gone.



The fourth one was so great,

But love shattered her brain

He left her

He forgot her.



She was confused, she was scared

It took all that she had, to tie

The final knot,

And look above, she said



Look what this world did to me.

I couldn't take no more

But remember, when you look above,

I'll be looking right at you.

Don't worry-

You'll forget me.

I couldn't take the world head on

So now- I'm gone.



The final girl I loved,

It was an accident

But, with my luck

She is gone...



He hurt her

He killed her

And now what do I have left?

Her final breath said



Look what this world did to me.

I couldn't take no more

But remember, when you look above,

I'll be looking right at you.

Don't worry-

You'll forget me.

I couldn't take the world head on

So now- I'm gone.



And me? Well I sit

Here writing this song.

Hoping that, my friends

Aren't gone.



Anything can happen

In a matter of seconds

I don't want to....

I can't lose you...



So please, don't leave me

Here lying awake

Just to look at the stars...



And see you

And see you...

A friend that's just... gone.
This little poem/song thing was just something I came up with after being with my friends one night, I hope you liked it!

La La Land
Alex Jun 2018
La La La
I sing and sing
As I frolic
In La La Land.

Hm Hm Hmm
I love to hum
As I sit
In La La Land.

Oh no no
I always say
As I look outside
At La La Land

It crashes down
Day after day
And fires burn the cities...
Welcome to my land.

As we grow, and learn, and learn
Our little La La Lands, from young years
Soon develop into hell.
And we see bad things

Because social media tells us more
Than we should know these days
And we all are filled with thoughts of terror, death, and evil
Untill we are corrupted with sin

Dandelion
Alex Jun 2018
I am a flower
So short and pretty
But my life isn't easy
Nor is it happy

Everyday....
I get stepped on.
And ran on...
By the kids that play

They pick the other flowers
That look better than me..
Besides who would want a dandelion,
That's thought of as a ****

One day, a young boy
Picks me up
And runs and runs...
To his house

He hands me to his mother
And she says thank you
Who knew...
I'd be appreciated?

But even if she puts me in the vase
Full of the water
I'll die a ****,
A sickly little flower.

If I just stayed home,
If I hadn't dreamt and hoped
I'd be alive
And warm

I'm Happy
Alex Jun 2018
Outside me
I'm really happy!
All I do is smile!
Cause I'm always in hiding...

Long sleeves
To cover the scars...
Long sleeves
So no one can see

Smile smile
For the flashing camera
For in this world
You can't look sad

I'm happy, I'm happy!
Happy as can be
I'm so happy
So no one can see me...
