I clash into my fabric,
Like it's the waters of a bath.
Behold the ripples from my fingers,
Before I walked upon their path.
Pills are skipping stones,
That land at unsteady feet.
I'm falling, or I'm drowning,
Sleeping with torture underneath.
With Carnations at the bedside,
The yellow won't change my hue.
For their inexplicit meanings,
Are wrapped in dripping blue.
And the taps rung through my head,
Were the bath; now forming puddles.
You asked how I had left,
But you didn't notice the bubbles
---------------------------------------------------
This poem is about how people don't notice when others are hurt. They could feel like they're drowning, struggling to breathe, even if they're in bed, doing nothing.
(Btw yallow carnations symbolize disappointment; rejection, just if it's confusing)
All feedback is welcome and appreciated!!:):)

Tired as I wanted to be Tired.  
Angry as I wanted to be Angry
Sad as I wanted to be Sad
Now having doing all that
Happy as I now want to be Happy.

I've been sailing on this boat
Trying to be strong
You see this boat
Has cracks lot's of them
I'ts not that I don't see
No I just turn a blind eye to them
I distract myself the only way I can
I read a lot
I draw and paint a lot
I play  a lot
I dance a lot
I try looking for someone like you in everyone
I listen to a lot of PD audio books
But mostly I  think of you
Mostly I think of little S
Mostly I think of you fighting
Mostly I repeat this process all over again
But now I just wish you were here

i give her the impression that she's my every desire
Though i'm neither here nor there
I travel between universe
Feeling emotions transpired through you
Through them

I am energy
A force that cannot be Confined

Roses want blood,
delicacy, and
grace.

Flowers want life,
Love, and
care.

Doomed are those
who treat their roses
as if flowers
bleeding
until drought

Long live those
who treat their flowers
as if roses
giving
until downpour
know your botany

his words take my breath away
his stars are not my stars
and there are worlds in-between

so i come back and i sit
and trace all the letters
slow, slow

i let my heart wander
just far enough
to feel the mountain air

singing feels like flying
from the pines
on the mountain

his words take my breath away
and i don't mind much
