No time left
Cole Aug 2019
No time for rest.
No time for sleep.
No time for love.
No time to weep.
The days are slow.
The nights are fast.
When I close my eyes
I think of death.
The rain is pouring.
The swings are swinging.
The wind is howling.
The girl is crying.
I feel like dying.
I'm tired of crying.
I wish I was normal.
This isn't very formal
No one sees me
Wishing to be somebody
Nobody saves me.

Dad?
Cole Aug 24
Dear Dad,
I miss you.
Even if I know
You were a bad dad.
I'm still scared to stand up to you
But daddy...
I miss talking to you
I still miss having a dad
And even though I'm different
I hope you miss me too.
I've always tried very hard
To be someone you could love.
Even though I've always known
I'd fail.

Love your once baby girl,
And your current stranger.

Loving you
Cole Oct 2020
Loving you was my mistake
But I'll still love you 'till I break.
Just stay with me today.
I want this
If you don't
Then you don't have to stay.

Loving you was like a moth and flame
You lured me in, then played your game.
But I still stay here everyday.
I need this.
I liked this anyway.

Loving you was so bright
When you smiled you were my light.
But then that smile faded away
Now I'm lost
In the dark you left behind.

Loving you was like a lullaby
We listened close to the others mind.
But you said that it might change.
You gave up.
You left this anyway.

Loving you was my mistake
I still love you anyway
But you turned your back on me.
I don't like this.
I don't need this.

Loving you was my mistake
You stopped saying it back.
It really feels like hell
When I see the old texts you'd send.
I don't want this.

But I can't stop
Loving all that you do
cause I love you.
That, angel, is true

Pigeon
Cole Aug 25
I am a pigeon.
Once a pet
Once loved
Wanted
Cared for
...But now...
"Filthy"
"Diseased"
But the only disease
Is the lack of care
That I can't live without.

Every single time
Cole Aug 2019
Every single lie of "oh, I'm fine"
Keeps me wide awake at night.
Wide awake at night.
And if they don't believe, I say
"I'm a little tired." " I'm a little tired. "
And when I fall down,
Everybody laughs, everybody laughs.
And I cry with
Every little fight, every little fight.
Can I die?
I wish I was a toy, a doll, a lie
I wish I wasn't real, I wish I wasn't real.
And now I fall down
With tears in my cheeks
And cuts in my skin.
And when I'm right there.
Slowly bleeding out. Slowly bleeding out
I realize. Some one said my name
Said my name on a kind tone.
They say that they are here. They are right here.
Then I fade away, as they try to save my life
Try to save my life
I wake up and I see them start to smile
Start to smile
I smile and cry.
Thinking of a life that is gone.
They care. They live. They feel. They died.
They watch you now
Are you satisfied?

When will I?
Cole Dec 2019
As I stare at the empty stage,
"When will I find my place?"
I think that I deserve to live.
"When will I find my way home?"
I think that I am lost.
As I stare at the empty stage
No one else around.
I sit at this piano fence and play my song.
I think that I'm losing it.
"When will I find my place inside?"
I think I deserve to run.
"When will I meet my end of hiding?"

Happy
Cole Aug 2019
"Do better"
You have to be better if you want to win.
"Be smarter"
You have to be smarter if you want to change.
"Grow taller"
You have to be taller if you want some friends.
"Be pretty"
You have to be pretty if you want to fit in.
But I just want to live.
I just want to live.
"Laugh harder"
You have to laugh harder if you want to smile.
But I don't want to pretend.
And I just wanna be happy.
But you never taught me that.
I just want to live my life and smile.
I just want to smile for real.
I just want to run away
Cause you won't ever let me.
It's not your fault that I'm failing.
"It's been fun"
It never has.
But I have to say, thank you.
I don't really know why.
You always hurt me so much.
You never showed me how to live my life my way.
I just don't understand.
I'm your child.
Let me smile. Myself.
For the first time.
"Be happy"
I want to be happy
So I can live my life.

It hurts my heart to think
You'll be with her and leave me
Just like everyone else.
But if she is what you want.
Be with her now

With a girl you don't care for.
Things will change
Make sure you make
There right choice.
Me or her
Her or me.
Best friend or girlfriend
Girlfriend or best friend
Take your pick.
I won't be angry.

Greetings
Cole May 2020
They told you "Careful"
Because they saw the frozen eyes.
Friends warned you
Because they knew the burning mind.
The people hissed
Because they saw the iron wall.
They all left
Because they tried to invade.
Your friends said "Watch out"
Because they felt its icy stare.
The people frowned
Because they all knew the cold retorts.
The people watched
Because they couldn't fight.
You said hello
Because you were afraid.
And suddenly
The lion shed its mane.

The friend
Cole Dec 2019
I sit here all alone
No one to talk to, no one to hold.
As I sit here, own my own
I sing a little song.
I wonder if they'll sit by me,
The people I call friends.
I close my eyes and hum.
Then "hi" I hear
I look around,
There he is.
The person who's my friend.
No one else, still that's fine.
At least I have one.

Do you know my name just as your own?
If you do, then you're amazing.
Do you cry yourself to sleep in your own?
Have you ever scared your skin as well?
Do you have your mother's picture by your bed?
Do you need some one to comfort you?
If you do, I'm perfect for you.
Do you smile to yourself?
Do you love you like you should?
Have you never felt lonely or misunderstood?
Do you not need some one to feel loved?
If so, you're better off alone.

Shadow
Cole Aug 2019
I'm sitting in my room
You're eerily creeping up.
You are always near me
I can't escape my shadow.
You can follow me around.
You won't catch me
You can't catch me.
I can't escape my shadow.
You see me in my darkest moment.
You are me when I lie.
You watch me harm my body.
You can't stop me. I never listen.
You watch as I pass out.
Crying like a child.
I wake up and see you there.
Everyone has a friend.
Not everyone can see them.
People think they are imaginary.
I looked up at you
And you pulled me up and out of the grave
Which I dug.
You held me tightly
I'm your only friend.
I realized I could smile.
I noticed you were real.
No one really saw the year tracks
Or the smears of blood on clothing.
Or the stinging in my wrists.
But I could finally breath.
And I saw the colors
Of the world around us.

My poem book
Cole Nov 2019
I have a little poem book
I carry it where ever I go.
I don't let anybody look,
In case they think I'm low.

Most poems are feeling depressed,
A lot of them sound sad.
People think that I'm repressed.
People think I'm always mad.

I have a book of poems,
That tells of all my years.
It's like my little museum.
It shows all my tears.

Can you see them glisten?
I just want people to listen.

Hope you enjoyed my little sonnet today.

Been Better, but I'm Fine
Cole Dec 2019
And all you have to say is "Are you okay?"
And all I say is "I've been better, but I'm fine."
I'm fine. I'm fine.
They beat me with their verbal assaults,
But all I have to say is "I'm fine."
Keep up the blockade, while I pull away.
They push and they pull, trying to get me.
I put up a smile, a front, a fake
And all you have to say is "Are you okay?"
I look at you and say "I've been better, but I'm fine."
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
They pull at me, behind the scenes
Telling me to say my name. I hide and dive right through.
They try to tell me who I am
What to do. They push, then pull and drive me to the edge.
It's been like this all my life.
I moved eight times, but since eleven,
I remember long ago
I was eight and bled from a paper cut.
Maybe that's where it went wrong.
So I hang my head and cry.
And all you have to say is "Are you okay?"
I fake a smile and lie, "I've been better but I'm fine."
You nod your head and leave me be
To drown in my own misery.
I've been better but I'm fine.
Eight words to hide behind.
Eight words. Eight moves. Eight years old.
I believe it's true.
That I've been better but I'm fine.

Our smiles
Cole Aug 2019
Pretty little lies of "I'm fine"
***** little secrets behind those eyes.
Every time we say "goodnight"
We hope that we will die.
Our lights dim now as we lose hope.
They said that we were fine
We were all right
But every single night
We lose more of our light
No one in our sight
We cut we hurt
We get high
To act all right
We hide behind our smiles
That we show and cover our eyes.
But no one says the pleading
Question in the eyes.
We give up for help
We lose sight of hope
We give our happiness
For comfort is imaginary.
Parents never see
Siblings never know
Friends never care
People never share
The facts that we hide behind
Our eyes.

'Flew' but fell
Cole Sep 2019
I stare at the ceiling one last time
Thinking about you.
I tried to reach,
But I fell when I thought I flew.

I cut my knee,
I hit my head.
The doctor sent me home.
I hid below my bed.

I wanted to be with you.
I cried quite a while.
I promise you it's true:
For you I'd walk miles.

I loved you like no other
But you left me lonely like the moon.
You left me wondering if
There are words for this tune.

I stare at the ceiling one last time
Thinking only of you.
I tried to reach. Yes.
I fell when I thought I flew.

Fight the battles inside me
Cole Dec 2019
Someday I'll fight the battles
Inside me, I know I'll lose.
They have way more to choose
To fight with me.
My insecurities can't be numbered
No one real has discovered them.

One day I'll fight the battles
Inside me. I'll probably lose.
They have way more things to choose
Way more tools.
When the day comes.
I'll cry out where I'm coming from.
I'll call out "mayday".
No one will understand the way
To get to my heart
My mind, my soul.
They say "the prettiest eyes cry most"
I think it must be true
People say mine are beautiful.
I just don't see it.

So maybe I'll fight the battles
Inside me, even if I'll lose.
I don't have much to choose.
They have me by my neck.
I don't know what else to do.
I'll cry out "farewell"
I'll call out "farewell"
"Goodbye" if it happens again.

A few years I would like.
I would pay my taxes.
I would have a job.
I might have a family.
Probably a cat or two.
I know as I grow older,
Things will start to change.
I know I'm not a grown up.
I am still aging.
Sometimes I feel young
Others I feel old.
I am just a teenager.
I have much to learn.
As I get older
I realize my mistake.
I look back at the childhood
I just had to waste.
I wanted to be older.
So I could live alone.
Now I just want my mother.
For her to hold me in her arms
And tell me it's okay.
I don't want to pay taxes.
I don't want to be alone.
I miss the fights
My sister and I had.
I wish I was younger.

And you need a friend
To tell you it's a dream

But don't want to feel that way,
That's where I come in.
See the poems sent through that phone.
Read those words sent to you.
That is me
You are not alone.
No matter where you are.
You don't need to be scared
When you are there.

And they don't care,
They aren't your friends.

And make you burn.

If you live
You'll be fine,
I'll stick the needle in your eye.
Cross your heart
Hope to die.
Then you'll tell
And change your mind.
I will laugh
It's too late
To try to solve
The problems you caused.
The nightmares come
They won't leave.
It's too late to stop.
It's your fault.
It's your fault.

I'll wake you up.
And ask what's wrong.
Then you'll realize
It's just your mind
Haunting you.

I can't hear you above the sound of the ocean waves.
I can't see you across the thousands of miles away.
Lie and tell but you can never escape the grave.
You'll go blind if you look into the sun's ray.
Whispered voices hide what they won't tell.
Shouts and calls show a deeper meaning behind.
Listen closely, you might hear the echo of the well.
Watch and learn, so you know how they unwind.
Careful, listen, listen to the ringing of the bell.
See the shells as they are refined.
You will likely be okay, too we say farewell.

Cole Sep 2020
We've been friends for quite a while
We've always made each other smile.
I'm not sure when I felt a change
But now my feelings for you have a range.

I'm not sure if I like you yet,
These feelings might not be set.
I know I don't want to hurt you,
And deep down, I'm scared that you'll leave too.

And if I wait any longer
Maybe they will get much stronger.
But if I tell you too soon
You might run as far as the moon.

You might like me, I'm not too sure
And if you do, we are our cure.
I still don't know if I like you
But I want to try, I really do!

I'll open up my mind and heart
As long as you don't tear it all apart.
And if we crumble back to two
Just know I'll still be here when you feel blue.

So if you read this, at any time,
Please just send me back a little rhyme.

That was thirty minutes ago.
Now that it's three forty.
I still wait patiently
On the wall.
Staying in the shade,
Writing poems
Of little importance.
I hear cars pass by,
I look up hopefully.
Not seeing the one I know.
My last thought for the poem:
At least I'm not alone.
Boys and girls waiting
For parents to pick up.
Quite very late.
Still, we wait
Some of them give up,
Some of them walk
Not having free parents.
They might be at work
They might be busy,

We wait for our parents.

When it is upon us
What will happen at the worst?
Sadness is the worst part
It is very difficult
To find a place to sleep

I can't sleep,
Cause I'm too worried.
I saw the missing pages,
In that magazine.
And I know that it was you,
Cause I know it wasn't me.
When you didn't eat, I made you.
When you couldn't sleep, I helped you.
You mean so much to me.
I didn't let you see the breakdowns
That I hide away.
I covered up my feelings
Woo you were not scared.
I focused on you, like it would help me.
You are what I care about.

Cause I was told to be brave,

Telling me, To **** it up,
And never show my feelings.

But you never show it,
Doing me harm,
With your inactive behavior
Towards my pain.
Never realizing how,

Cause they talk over you
When you try and tell them,
What you do you are scared and alone.
When you are upset and worried
If you'll see them again.
But they don't notice.
They don't notice you.
Am I invisible? Am I replaceable?
Cause there's no point in life
If you're always crying.
Just remember in life,
There's more than crying.
And there's no point in saying sorry
If no one will hear.
And there's no point in saying goodbye
If no one would care.
And I!
I don't want to hear it.
The "you'll be fines" and the "you won't crys"
I'm to scared to say goodbye.
Keep the convo going.
I want to be alone but I can't.
Don't leave me alone.

Poems

I lie to myself sometimes.
Tell myself I'm fine,
That I can live without it.

I miss seeing my breathe
pour out in front of me,
so I can see my inside.

fog up the glass
that is telling me lies
It is not the true mirror.

I never thought
I'd miss it
as much as I truly do now.

The truth is I felt
That it didn't matter
what I wrote.

Now I know,
poems, don't just help
you cope.

Poems have the key.
Show the mirror
of what we could achieve.

They do not just
tell the past,
the pain, and woe.

They will help us fly.

Mother, father picture this the story which I share.
A house that has been whole but you tore it quite apart
Making me wonder why.
Why you would leave me here with that monster of a man.
I have been torn against the seam The agony of it all!
Back and forth, to and from. Florida and Colorado.
I think I misplaced my smile. People call me broken.
They throw me away like a toy that lost a piece
You say you're sorry. You say you care
But you never see
The scars I have. The cracks that broke
No one understands
Someday maybe somebody will care
I can't believe any one
Since you promised to me
"We'll never divorce" You said to me
But then you broke the deal.
I still have the tender feelings that I held for you
But they aren't in my hands, they're in my pocket,
Out of reach for you to take away.
But please don't leave, I need some help.
Can you show me how to care again?

And when you fall from the mountain,
You get thrown into
The churning, breathtaking,
Watery depths.

No one noticed.
I did.
No one came.
I did.
I saw it all.
And then I drowned.

Not. Fair.
Cole Aug 2020
It's so not fair!
I dealt with him already
This sounds so rare...
I feel so very unsteady

I lost that lover boy
When he moved away
I felt kind of like a toy
But we went our separate way

But when he left
School started anew
And I found out in my math class
I lost and "gained"
that boy I used to know.
The one who was quite stupid,
but I liked him anyway.

The very one who left me lone,
When I got away.

He invaded my home,
with unwanted memories of pain
Everything is red and gory
I feel the tear in reality.

Fate does not seem in my favor
The one I love
Moved away
The one I wanted to stay away
came anyway.

This is so unfair.
This is so cruel.
Has anyone seen this before?

I lost one
and gained the run away.

My boyfriend moved
my ex moved from across the country.

Somebody else
Cole Aug 2019
Why won't you see
How easy it could be.
Look up, you'll see
How lovely it would be.
Time wastes we grow apart.
We won't be one in eternity.
Cry to sleep every night.
I wake like the earth is tumbling down.
Nightmares. Who cares.
I'm used to it by now.
Every night I cry myself to sleep
Waiting for somebody to help me. Why not?
No one will. I have to help myself.
To be me is harder than being a teen.
I feel like a thousand words
Need to leave but
No one hears anyway.
A thousand words.
A thousand lies.
A thousand "hi"s.
A million "goodbye"s.
A thousand "I'm fine"s.
A thousand lies.
A thousand songs.
A million poems.
Are running through my mind.
I wish I was...
Somebody else needs to listen.
Somebody else can't fix me.
Somebody else needs to learn.
Somebody else needs to help me.
Somebody else needs to learn.
In the dark I'm crying.
In the light I'm drowning.

If this what it takes.
I will be the one to bear the pain.
I'll hide the blades away.
And carve my arm until it burns and breaks.
They won't listen anyway.

If this is what it takes.
I will be the one to feel all pain.
I'll take this gun to my head,
And shoot until my life fades away.
They won't listen anyway.

If this is what it takes.
I will try my best so they will see.
I'll wrap this role around my neck,
And hang until my neck gives way.
They won't listen anyway.

If this is what it takes.
I will be the one in the grave.
I do my best for them.
But they won't listen anyway.

I am not a threat
I am but a little girl
That is what they say.
I don't really understand.
Everyone should be nicer.

Little
Cole Dec 2019
Little boy, don't you worry.
Little child, dear to me.
Little angel, listen close.
Little babe, can you hear?
Little girl, just believe.
Little royal, just imagine.
Little baby, don't you cry.
Little dear, close to me.
Little timer, look close.
Little child, can you see?
The diamond in the sea.
Little rose, in the thorns.
Little me, don't you fear.
Little perfect, near to me.
Little babe, look and hear.
Little swaddling, reach for the moon.
Little angel, just rest now.
Little one, when you're older.
Little you, won't be mine.
Little thee, you'll be your own.
Little mine, please stay here.
Little child, let me protect.
Little ome, let me take the hits.
For little, for mine, you won't always be.

See
Cole Aug 2019
See
Once upon a single star
Shining just got you.
Just because you're happy.
Just because you're free.
Doesn't mean he loves
Any more than he loves me.
I am still a girl
But I see quite clear.
One day I'll be older
Not that you even care.
And housing tell me
Who I meet
I'll be free and you will see.

I may hurt my skin with blades
I wonder if I'll live
I may have trouble sleeping
For fear of the next day.
But one day when I'm older
You can't tell me who I'll be.
You won't be my leader
You won't control me.
I won't follow what you say
And I'll be free.
You might see.
What becomes of your only daughter.

At that moment. That night.
When I watched them dancing at the concert.
I realized I love him.
And he will never know.

"How are you?"
Cole Aug 2019
I'm tired
I'm breaking
I'm crying
I'm cracked
I'm going crazy
I'm shattered
I'm broken
I'm hurting
I'm dying
I'm giving up
I'm cutting
I'm starving
I'm done
I'm terrible
I'm not okay
I'm sleep deprived
I'm depressed
I'm anxious
I'm almost dead
I'm sorry
I'm leaving
You don't care.
...
"I'm ok."

Depressive Episode
Cole Dec 2019
This depressive episode
It's lasting way too long.
I'm losing my mind
And my skin.
I'm failing all my classes,
I don't get enough sleep.
I'm fighting with my family
And losing all my friends.
I'm yelling at my parents
And lying about how I feel.
I'm losing my voice
From shooting the silence.
I'm crying every night
And cutting every day.
I'm losing all my reasons
Not to fade away.
I'm sleeping through alarms
And falling off the bed.
I'm crawling to get ready
Trying not to look dead.
I don't get up when I should.
I can't really tell.
I fired my therapist,
And pushed my parents away.
I curl up in my bed,
But there's no escape
From a broken mind
And a crumbled heart.

I think I need help
Cole Aug 2019
I clutch my head and hope to die.
I feel the blood running down her arm.
I tried to die but failed again.
No one saw, no one really cared.
No one truly noticed.
They saw me mad, they saw me sad.
They never saw me cry
They didn't see me happy, they just saw me smile.
But I have reached my breaking point.
I don't want to breath.
I tried to live normal, but they told me no.
I agreed and went about
Trying to find a reason
To live a life of happiness.
I met you but then I left
Without telling you the truth.
So now I'm here
Almost dead
No one really near.
I'm scared to die, even if I try.
No matter how you try to live,
You'll always come back
Too this spot to dwell.
I think I need help.
My wrists are cut,
My eyes are glazed,
My sleeves are dyed red.
My hands shake,
My knees give way,
I fall down and hit the floor.
Tears are falling,
The knife is sliding,
Blood is dropping,
I think I'm dying.
Now I realize just because
They don't show it
Doesn't mean they don't care.
I need help.

Mistake
Cole Dec 2019
I go to the bathroom
And cry in the stall.
Such disappointment, such failure
I haven't felt in a while.
I thought I got better
Not good enough.
I knew I wouldn't make it.
I knew I couldn't join.
The optimism I had
Has gone within seconds.
Meyer didn't call my name
I didn't make it into the choir.
My friends did, I'm happy really
But I wish I could have too.
We smiled and clapped
But inside I cried.
Adam, Bev, Colton, Joel, Meredith, Larry
All made it in.
I was not wanted, not needed.
I though I would make it
But I didn't.
I might as well give up.
It's not like they'd care.
I'm not even that good
I sing, yeah, but not well.
Trying out was a mistake
Going was a mistake
Hoping, wishing, wanting
All those, everything was a mistake.

Ghosts and spirits
Cole Dec 2019
Ghosts and spirits everyday
Ghosts and spirits come to play
Ghosts and spirits come around
Ghosts and spirits seek me out
Haunting my mind with thoughts and words
Spoke have followed to join the game
Some are waiting for the day
If I listen very closely
I hear their plea
To be set free.
The ghosts and spirits of my mind
Have joined with me
To combine.
