Roaring with colours
Wonderful and bright
Filled with the people
Who bring me such light

Dyed with their colours
All the reds and the blues
Staining my heart
Creating a wonderful work of art

A little bit of each person
Some a little more
Mixing new tones everyday
As each day its like an all out war

The colors they contrast
Making me who I am
Though some overpower me
Destroying parts of who I am

Though in the end I'm still me
Influence and painted by the people
Even if some parts are grey, dark and black
The rest is beautiful filled with the light of my history

From the colors of the rainbow and everything unseen
A walking masterpiece of colors
Drenched with dripping paint
Leaving my own mark on many others

Adding my own touch to who they are

when you left
i cried
but somehow
when i returned home
i smiled
i felt reassured
you know me
you get me
you understand me
thank you
for being the first person
to read my poetry
and the last person
to make me realize
i am worth something
you mean the world to me
you gave me a home
when i never thought
i would feel at home again
you gave me your hand
and helped me find mine
you were
the first person
to read my poetry
and the last person
i will ever really
say goodbye to

I frequently wonder if you feel the way I do,
this newfound awareness that I can't explain.
Like missing something I never possessed.
I often ask myself if what I felt was real
And I wonder whether you feel it too?

Do you just let your feelings marinate
or wait for them to fade away like memories do?
But there's the problem you see!
Escaping is usually easy for me,
but I can't seem to escape you.

You remain in my thoughts, a steady presence.
Somedays like a bag of bricks weighing me down,
making me miserable, not saying a word,
letting the silence pass.
On other days, I carry you like a fragile piece of glass.
In my palms I hold it, hoping I don't lose or break it
because your memory is all I have...for now
and what a beautiful memory it is!

All need,though, is a sign from you
And I will know for sure...yes! it was real! that you felt it too!

But reality is a mystery you see, just like you
And our story, shy, waiting to be explored, just like me.

helloitsyellow
will you forgive me
for all the terrible things i've said
for all of the mistakes i have yet to correct
for all the times i thought i wasn't good enough
for every tear that has fallen for someone that has not deserved it
for every time i wrote a poem and didn't tell the whole truth
for every opportunity i've said no to
for every time i didn't respect myself as much as i should have
for every person i have disappointed

i will.

i will forgive myself

for every time i wrote a poem and didn't tell the whole truth
for every opportunity i've said no to
for every time i didn't respect myself as much as i should have
for every person i have disappointed
i will forgive myself
and
i will forgive myself for ever even thinking that i would not

You should’ve told me that you weren’t gonna wait
You should’ve told me that I was too late
And I ask you if it’s alright if we share all our demons while we lay together tonight

I’m telling you how I feel but you’re not listening
And I’m showing you where my heart is, but you’re not looking at me
Smoke and mirrors, making it clear (for me)
Smoke and mirrors, I’m sorry that I can see
You

You’re saying all the right things, like you could do no wrong
You’re telling me the right things, leading me on.

Tell me about your boyfriend, write in on my wall.
Tell me about your secrets, because I know them all

I’m telling you how I feel but you’re not listening
And I’m showing you where my heart is, but you’re not looking at me
Smoke and mirrors, making it clear (for me)
Smoke and mirrors, I’m sorry that I can see
You

If you don't stay sober
Trust me, he's gonna leave you.
He's gonna take her too,
and he's gonna never come back

If you don't stay sober
My life will be easier
I won't have to tread thin ice
whenever I speak to my brother

If you don't stay sober
you'll have done my job for me
and I can go back to being
such a 'happy carefree teen'

If you don't stay sober
I won't have to worry about
their safety, whether you're
beating him or not.
because if you don't stay sober?
You're done.
it's terrible, but I hope you don't. You don't deserve this many chances, and you certainly don't deserve him or my niece, and as far as I'm concerned you are not my family, you never will be, and I will never stop trying to get away from you.
