Am I now become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Day May 2015
Quiet calm in the night,
An owl fly's through the forest,
A mouse runs from death.
Day Nov 2016
you told me in the beginning about your memory
and how you had a tendency to forget things
and so when my name started to slip your mind
it made sense to me
you told me I was more
but I knew I was nothing but a thing to you
Day May 2015
Someday* I''ll wear a genuine smile,
but for *now
,
I'll just wear this one.
smile depression sadness cut pain hurt thoughts
Day Nov 2015
when people in america (or many other countries) say
"i have nothing to be thankful for"
it upsets me because
being "poor" in america is nothing compared to being
poor in many other places
it frustrates me that people with nothing to eat but grass can find
more
to be thankful about then
someone with endless possibilities of success
stop
complaining
about
what you
don't
have and be thankful
for everything that you
**do
just be happy and thankful
Day Apr 2017
I once had a mother, who gave me away
Though time gone, never forgot her name
Years pass, thoughts of her the same
As a child, a game I would play
Maybe this time she'll come back and stay
Eventually, my heart took the blame
"Whose fault" now is the game
As I look back from then to this day
Who hurt me the most, that I could not recover?
What set off this bomb in my heart?
Why couldn't I land on my feet?
She gave up her role as my mother...
Tearing my soul apart
Wondering if I'm worth it to keep.
Playing with new concepts and rhyme scheme
Day Nov 2019
Quick,
take a pic
or maybe, 26!

Show my smile.
Stay still for a mile.

A picture's worth
a thousand words
but,
I don't have
a clever caption.
I almost hit a homeless man with my car while scrolling #haha #irony #firstworldproblems
Day Aug 2016
Once,I knew a girl so well
her eyes were bright and bold
her tongue had ,oh, so much to tell
and all of it was told

She skipped with childish joy and glee
Always squealing in delight
Arms swinging wild and free
Smiling big and bright

In life, the farthest she had gone,
was up and down her street.
A scooter and a backpack on
the pavement slapped her feet.

"Don't go beyond where I can spot.",
her mother often said.
"I know, I know, I will not."
The girl answered,and nodded with her head.

As it always seems to do,
unknown lurked in her mind,
but mother said no to you
she often did remind

But that smirk and joy did return
and ,Oh, how could it not?
She was ten and she would learn,
of all that she had sought.

Puffed her chest and started off,
she couldn't be scared now.
Without a tremble or a cough,
she made herself a vow.

Turn the corner, yes I will!
No waver in her mind.
My mamma said to be still,
but I am not that kind.


But before the corner could she had,
Streetlights began to shine.
She turned back and sighed a tad,
"Tomorrow its surely mine"

For as I said, she was but ten,
and only 4 feet high.
Her bedtime came time and again,
but still she'd always try.

But time when on and on my friend
and sometime far away
when time at home came to an end,
*she wished that she could stay
Please tell me what you think!!
Day Oct 2016
Oh how scary it is, to know so little
to feel like a rabbit running in circles
when every one is telling you to run in squares

Oh how scary it is, to be so out there
with no one to hold your shaking hand
and to have nothing to be proud of

Oh how scary it is, to fake a smile
and tell everyone how excited you are
but you feel like an overturned turtle

Oh how scary it is, to be next in line
gripping tightly at dollars and dimes
but not yet knowing what you want

Oh how scary it is
to not be ready
You guys, I'm so unprepared. I have no idea what I am doing. I feel like everyone has their life put together and that I am just a  mess. I have no idea about college. My parents are helping either (with applying or tuition) I'm trying tho
Day Oct 2015
i wanted you to be the last thing on my mind,
and i wanted you to be the reason i close my eyes,
but i can't sleep and,
oh god, i wanted to be your high,
but everything i said went unheard,
and everything you saw,
with eyes straight blurred,
became my down fall.
-Eden
How some words can make me think towards you.
Day Aug 2019
What is the definition of myself?
A modpodge rendition of a pinterest post I saw?
A poem I wrote drunk off my ***?
A half-hearted rhyme I can't tie tother?
This is not a poem. It's my life.
Day Oct 2018
In your arms,
this ghostly heart
wants to live.
happy halloweekend

*remember that even though
you
escaped
the looking glass
you'll never escape
yourself
Day Nov 2016

sometimes a lack of words
feels better
than trying to explain


i am alone
Day Jan 2019
Go searching for
a person,
to lie with you in bed.
I did and found
an angel -
to fights demons in my head.
Every morning
tell yourself
"You are not alone."
Ethereal
open hearts
create the safest home.
1/6/18
accept that it will take work
happiness is a fight
one the many take for granted
some have people fighting for them
others, only themselves
but never stop fighting
because you deserve that
7.7 Billion people
it's easy to feel
alone
it's easy to think that
you don't mean anything
but you're here
and you deserve happiness
so fight for it
Day Jun 2018
hidden ponds in busy towns
playing hard, wearing crowns
lost in all the light we see
a 2012 reality

i breathed him only once,
but that was enough,
to become addicted

Day Nov 2015
to all the girls he was
"hot"
but really all he ever wanted to be was
"smart"
he never took his shirt off because
he was scared that they would
instantly
label him as just another piece of
good-looking meat
but he wanted to be more then that
he wanted to be  known for
his smile
not
his abs
he wanted someone to say
"he's an amazing writer"
not
"he's pretty ****"
but in this society
thinking like that gets you nowhere
it leaves you alone and beaten
so he hid
he covered his insecurity of his skin
and pushed past it
because he was strong
even though every part of him felt
weak
he was determined to be
strong
he would prove to the world that
a man can be
both
strong and smart
both
****  and artsy
because he wanted people to love him
for more then just
his skin
because he knew deep down
we are all so much more
*then that
i wrote this because i think that, yes, while women are treated without respect alot of times, that men are also forced to meet impossible standards and are far to often overshadowed by muscles and strength and should be allowed to be "weak" in a sense. I think that it is unfair of women to be expected to be treated as fragile while thrusting these opinions of what a "real man" should be on men. I find it disgusting that in todays world that sometime we overlook a guy just because there is another guy who may be "hotter". There are so many, many men out there who are smart, and funny and have beautiful smiles who are alone because of ignorance. I love all of you guys who feel like you're not enough because maybe you're not fit as someone else or because you're not as comfortable with your body. I love you *HUGS*
Day Jan 2016
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a girl and a boy and a hundred phone chimes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
frozen pizza and playing a song over too many times
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
video games and talking on the phone all night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
energy drinks and midnight runs to get a light
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lying in bed talking about endless possibilities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
eating, sleeping and running from responsibilities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~­
a poisoned youth we hope never to be lost
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
all we can do is keep our fingers crossed

Day Oct 2015
when you're always the punching bag,
sometimes you just need,
to **punch back.
Day May 2016
Amiable, amorous and acquiescent,
an embrace like no other.
Determined and dauntless desire,
is what I long for.
something sensual, i guess
Day Mar 2017
must be home by 1

12:15 a.m
"Don't fall asleep baby, you need to be home soon."
"It's fine, I'm just gonna close my eyes for a minute."

5:15 a.m
"Hey what time is it?"
**"Oh ****.."
Day Nov 2015
don't let the bullets that escape one man's mind
effect the way you see
every man in the world
instead
let it
ignite
a flame in a nations
everlasting void
and fill the world with candles burning and
looking
to the light needed in a
society of

**dark minds.

You are my little piece of heaven

Day Oct 2015
am i allowed to have an opinion?
or
am i allowed to have your opinion?
this
illusion
of freedom we all have
is
washed away
by
the fact that
laws meant
to
be broken.
we are a
society
that destests constriction
but
yet
we squeeze ourselves
into the
LIE
that we are
UNIQUE
because, really?
we are all
exactly the same.
when you're fed up with everyone but you can't be mad at them because you know you are exactly the same
Day Feb 2019
I'm sad because no one likes me
No one likes me because I'm an alcoholic
I'm an alcoholic because I'm dead inside
I'm dead inside because I've been hurt
I've been hurt because I am weak
I am weak because I love everyone
I love everyone because no one loves me
No one loves me because I'm unlovable
I'm unlovable because I am broken
I am broken because someone broke me
Someone broke me because I left them
I let them because I loved them
I loved them because I am naive
I am naive because I trusted them
I trusted them because I was ignorant
I was ignorant because no one taught me
No one taught me because no one was there
No one was there because no one likes me
No one likes me because I'm an alcoholic
I'm an alcoholic because I am dead inside
I am dead inside because I am sad
a poem written by my friend Jeff - posted with their permission.
Wanted to share his words with you all
Day May 2021
Slumlords sleep
while poor souls weep,
for bills won't meet
And children's feet -
growing and growing and growing.

Pressure's building.
Age not slowing.

I thought it would be calm by now.

But things are worse,
&
To God I curse.

Nothing is going as planned.

I'm trying to look at the positive.

Looking
And
Looking
And
Looking

God, please
Is there a positive?
Day Oct 2016
you asked me to prove that I was serious,
because you couldn't believe
(oh how confounded you were)
that I could ever be speaking the truth.
I like you
I had texted to you some Tuesday morning
and you just send me back
haha
and the conversation went on because, well,
that's just how you are (which is okay)
The second time we hung out you tentatively held my hand
as if any second I would ask you to stop
"I like you"
I whispered as you held me in the parking lot,
(I was scared your friends thought I was weird)
You just pulled me closer and kissed my head
and past it we went again..
You texted me the other night, right after my midnight snack
Do you really?
and I sat and thought for a long time
..if I didn't like you...
I wouldn't yawn as much
because I stayed up until 2 thinking about you
..if I didn't like you..
I wouldn't curse so much
every time I embarrassed myself (as I do so much)
..if I didn't like you..
I wouldn't write so much
trying to understand all the thoughts overwhelming me
..if I didn't like you..
I wouldn't smile so much
every time you glanced over at me from across the room

trust me,
I like you
..if I didn't..
you would know.
this is the start of something
Day Apr 2016
"Always tired, but never of you."
Not mine.
Day Oct 2015
Peasants underestimate,
the sacrifice of a King,
all they see,
are the fancy things.
griping,
and
groaning,

when in actuality,
they are more free,
then he ever,
will be.
i was inspired by camelot.
Day Aug 2020
I got a bit absentminded this year
I guess you could say I was
distracted
,my brain cells turned flaccid,
by the end of the ******* world.
Day Oct 2016
it's all I ever heard
i want you
as we cuddled in your car
i want you
pops up on my phone
i want you
mouthed across the room

and while
i want you
should've made me feel special
i want you
translated in my mind to
sometime so unoriginal
because i knew what you meant

every time you whispered to me
i want you
oh, I knew
it wasn't truly
me
that you wanted
only what
*I had
Day Nov 2019
I am a fraud
4 years later
still ain't found god.

my brain stopped
searching
for words to say

my head don't bow
and
I will not pray

my heart fell silent
and never
returned


I'm not a poet
but, I am more
learned.
Day Oct 2018
he came like my
s e a s o n a l - d e p r e s s i o n

way too early

left hurricanes in my path
and
floods at my feet

****
let's do it again
where has all my motivation gone **** it
Day Jan 2016
they don't see the smile fade away as she turned away
because she had been programmed to be ashamed
to hide the pain
to never let them see the scars that crisscrossed her heart
so she never spoke
she never let them know
that everyday the figurative gun in her hand became easier to hold
she was no longer afraid
of the noise it made
she while she covered herself with others fake mask  of being "fine"
the others thought there was nothing wrong
because they were to lazy to actually ask her
*"are you sure?"
Day Jun 2020
Liquor lubricates my inhibition
I like it
The feeling just between sober and over intoxicated

But
Ive been made aware
That this is not sustainable

Eventually
The trauma catches up

Self harm
Comes in many forms
Day Jul 2015
Make up your mind.
I'm tired of waiting.
You think it's a game
Soon you'll realize
**It's not
Day Nov 2016
it's so hard to write a poem
about my feelings
because to be honest with you
i don't understand them

but I want so badly to write
about the thoughts inside
because to be honest with you
it hurts to keep them in

i'm sorry that my words
dont make sense
that my thoughts aren't
coherent
i apologize
for every scribble of a note
that I work to complete
that comes out
like a toddlers drawing
hung up on a fridge
with a faulty magnet
soon fallen to the floor/
tears of a child
projected onto construction paper
but no one
looks for pain
written with a crayon
Day Sep 2017
Word go around
so easy to say
actions have been found
to surely display
who we are inside.
after a while
no way to hide

because sorry can be said
but actions can always be read

as easy as sorry is to say,
soon it will be just as easy to walk away
you ask me if im mad? no im not mad. im ******* ******.
Day Nov 2015
i can't afford to be weak
because when i'm weak
people get hurt
and i can't bear seeing you
in pain
i've lost everyone
i can't lose you too
Day Jan 2016
I'm not fine
I'm not okay
sick of everyone
assuming that I am
assuming that this blinding pain
doesn't bother me
like this giant hole
doesn't consume me.
Like the gun in my hand
doesn't scare me
Because honestly?
in this moment
in this
second
I don't even know
who I
am
I'm going to start a series that involves alot of "warriors". Hope you like it!
Day Aug 2017
i am scared with every thing in me
that you will go
and realize how much more there is than me
that you will leave
because i am not enough...
not enough for you
Day Oct 2015
society: be different!
me: okay! walks outside
society: whispers freak
i have found a love for 10w poems
Day Jun 2017
i won't do coke no more baby,
i didn't understand
i thought it would help me maybe
tried to steady my hand

but those little lines of white
are nothing compared
to the little love bites
that i've now bared

i never really understood
that you had such real concern
i said, didn't matter and still would
but now slowly i learn

that its so not ******* worth it
to lose who i love
no line, shot or hit
could ever come above

someone
who
really
matters.
signed,
i wont be that girl.
