i am sorryt I could not get through
to you
you ignored all the clues
they were in plan view
so many
not just a few
this should not surprise you
i had to
i needed to be true
to me and you
years long overdue
there is so much
we both need to pursue
giving up on you
it's hard not to undo
and i
am feeling blue
do not forget
i really was in love with you
to the end of the earth
i would have followed you
i loved and i lost
this path had to be crossed
we are the cost

Maybe we've changed

You're you
I'm me
We are two different people
From who we use to be
Time moves on
We do too
Feelings can be forgotten
Sometimes they break through

Maybe we've changed

You're no longer the boy I knew
I'm no longer the girl you need
We had smiles & happiness, it was pure & sweet
But that didn't mean, we didn't get hurt or bleed
Nothing was lost, Yet so much was gained
A Learning experience, with a boy unnamed

Maybe we've changed

You're walking your own path
I'm walking mine
Never interchanging
Our lives don't entwine
Perhaps thats for the best
We are moving onto someone new
This change was well overdue

Maybe we've changed

You've cut all the strings from our past
I simply watched, as it all fell apart
You're happy with your life
I'm happy with mine

We've grown as people
We've become more mature
We've fallen in love again
We feel so secure
The things that we learnt will never change our past
So we live them through each day, as if it were our last
The colourful memories will all fade away
But the things you taught me will remain to this day
So in the end
We did Changed.

Walk these steps by yourself, not because you are alone.
          But,Because you are strong.
Live to tell your tales, not for you to have a legacy.
          But for inspiration among others
Put your heart on your sleeve, not because you are infatuated and anxious with the thought of love.
          But, Because you gave yourself permission to fall in love.

Break a piece of you for everyone to feast, not because you desire for the broken people to stop wincing, but for the sole reason of giving without receiving

Finally, say “I love you” to the people who you care about the most, not because, oneday they will never be around. Because they are already there.
poetry became heavy to me. I no longer see it as a source of entertainment... I see it as a long text of depression...

sorry//
Your body is your temple
Oh those curls hang down
Like those layered
Sculptures
Gazing down
Upon you
From the top
Of the temple!
Now your special
One lies within you
Isn't that needless to say
Without more doodlywoodlydoo!

I wear my heart
on my sleeve
My emotions get
the best of me
I have no self confidence
in anything I do

Am I really worth everything
In my life
That I give
110%
With all that I do....
I’ve always been this way even when everyone around me tells me I’m great in all I have done. Never thought I was a great dancer or gymnast, still don’t believe I’m good at writing, or anything else. I’m
Always ******* myself no matter how hard I try.

Heart strings
                      oh heart strings
                                                why must you pull on these things
You get caught
                         Get torn apart
                                                  Its completely for naught
You make me cry
                             Make me want to die inside
                                                                         You condemn me to this fate
I left you
                You didn't leave me
                                                  Yet the words I hate you **** me
I shouldn't feel this way
                                        Like being left on display
                                                                                   In this shameful way
Could the fool have thought
                                            That my pride was bought
                                                                                   Simply by saying sorry
My Hearts distraught
                                  Its destroys my train of thought
                                                                                 How could you say that
Did you think
                    Things like that would be funny?
                                                                             Just leave me be
Hate me
               Despise me
                                   Resent me
                                                      But still
                                                                   Selfishly
                                                                                 I wish
                                                                                         you would
                                                                                                           Love me

Too Sober

Wandering outside
The fresh air caresses my skin
Music blaring from the shed
The celebration in full swing

Intoxicated teens dancing about
TONIGHT WE ARE YOUNG
You can hear them all shout

Roaming towards the bonfire
The flames dimly glow
I sit down quietly
Completely on my own

Warm arms wrap around me
Enclosed from both sides
who could this be?
I feel a calming vibe

I recognise his voice
Musky and deep
He whispers sweet nothings
My heart skips a beat

He speaks with a hushed tone
Lips brushing against my neck
Each word that is spoken
I've got to keep myself in check

The coarse stubble of his chin
Sends shivers down my spine
As the words become kisses
I wanted him to be mine

Holding myself back
As I wanted to kiss him right there
I couldn't betray my friend
And he began to stare

Exchanging a few more words
We spoke softly with each other
Trapped in his embrace
My cheeks filled with colour

Contentment fell over us
As we sat in peaceful silence
You Deserve at least this
He said, with a tender kiss

Dancing away the night
Still thinking about that kiss
We were both far too sober
To be making mistakes such as this.

Parties are a time to just let go

Put on your heels and just go with the flow

Let the darkness of the night, consume your identity

And let the alcoholic beverages bring you to pure ecstasy

A night of pure bliss filled with drunk teens and friends

Let the beat of the music take you further then you have ever been

Pretend you are different, you can do anything you want

Cause with enough alcohol
There is no need to put up a front

Forget all the consequences that the morning brings

Because for a single night
You are the king

Spread open your wings and soar to the sky

And for a fleeting moment you can forget about your life
Went to a party last night, and I just let go it was so good.
