She was
Emily Nov 2018
She was beautiful and so full of life
She was as bright as the sun
She brought a smile to anyone she met and to anyone that she saw
She was brave
She was fearless..or was thought to be anyway
She was unforgettable until they forgot her
She was like a flame until they put her out
She was like a lion until the poachers came
She was like a wild flower until they picked her
She was like a tree.. oh so full of happiness until they cut her happiness down.
She was everything until they made her nothing
She was kind
She was.
I don't know what to say about this one honestly.. What do you think?

I wish I could
Emily Dec 2018
I wish I could love like they do
I wish I could understand like they do
I wish  I didn't feel trapped or enclosed
I wish I didn't have to feel different  
I wish I could control myself
I wish I could be anything he wanted
I wish I wasn't so awkward
I wish I could be more brave
I wish I wasn’t so afraid  
I wish I could… just….
I wish I could…

My Mothers "Love"
Emily Nov 2018
My mothers love was different.
Instead of kisses she gave me bruises.
Instead of hugs she gave me cuts.
On holidays she would just sleep.
On birthdays she would forget unless you where "important".
She was an addict they would say.
She was always mad at me.
She would always say the meanest of things.
She would often say things that burned you inside...
Things that ate at you.
Depression was a gift she gave to me.
I was the mom...That's what others would say...
I was the big sister so I was supposed to make sure the kids went to the doctors or ate or went to school.
But... It was okay.
the bruises not yet healed.
its okay.
The cuts now scars.
that's okay.
Me having to take care of everything.
Its okay.
The birthdays forgotten.
Its fine
the gift of depression you gave to me...
I loved it mom... Thank you.
The never ending words that eat you inside out.
Those words can stay if they'd like.
the cold feeling of loneliness.
Its fine.
All I ever truly wanted was to hear you voice.
for you just to say "I love you" and to mean it every step of the way.
I just wanted a hug.
But its okay.
Now I see you looking afraid and lost... Do you need a hug?
Do you need a kiss?
Would you care for a talk to let those negative emotions out?
I'm here for you even if you leave me?
I forgive you just say you'll forgive me to....
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you I loved you.
I couldn't tell you I loved you and meant it.
But that's okay I hope?
Is that okay?
My mother loved me.
She just showed it in different ways...
My Mothers "Love".

do you
Emily Apr 2019
Do you see the sadness behind my smile
the hurt behind my love
the pain behind my laugh
the tears behind my eyes
the broken behind the fixed
my heart behind the flesh
the screams under the tongue
the fear under the bravery
do you see me...the real me

She forgot about "we".

She was to trapped in the word "me" that she was to blind to see
She forgot about "we"
People tend to get self centered and forget that the world isn't all about them.People tend to want want want bur never truly give.

He doesn't
Emily Dec 2019
He doesn't want you, he's got someone new
He doesn't love you, he loves someone new
He doesn't need you, he's has someone new

He doesn't want you.

But that doesn't mean no one else does
He doesn't want you but another will
He doesn't love you but another will
He doesn't need you but another will
He'll go away but another will stay
he doesn't deserve you anyway
  He doesn't.

gone
Emily Sep 2019
like the sun into the night you where gone
like a bird taking flight you where gone
like the moon in the light you where gone
only because I didn't open the doors for you
because I refused to give you the key
because I was scared
scared you'd do this to me.

One day if I work hard enough i'll find myself.
One day I will no longer be lost at sea.

I will learn to truly love.
I will learn to Understand the non understandable.

Just One day.

his name
Emily Apr 2019
his name makes my heart flutter
talking to him makes me stutter
his cologne scent drives me crazy
with him my thoughts get hazy
is this love?
do you see any doves?
then reality hits
and me and him do not fit
were to different
to worlds never to be touched
to souls never to love
but for now... reality is gone
and me thinking of you isn't so wrong
for now let me dream
and imagine us together, the perfect team
his name makes me smile uncontrollably
his name makes me laugh
his name makes me blush
but his name... is just another name...

unwanted list
Emily Nov 2019
I don't want to be trapped any longer
will I ever be freed from this cage?
will I fly with the heavenly skies?
or will I fall into the dark abyss that waits for me below?
emotions as still as cloud now turn into blades
cutting my wings making me plummet down
to the unwanted list of abandoned children
unable to be better
unable to breath
unable to see or hear
unable to fly once more
will another come to save us or will the blades cut their wings
the angeles are afraid to fall
and so they leave us, the children of abandonment to be stuck
on the unwanted list.

Today I want to be
Emily Jan 2019
Today I want to be a star.
I want to shine.
I want to feel as if the world is below me as I sore.
Today I want to be beautiful.
I want to dazzle over the rest.
It may sound silly or it may seem as if i'm conceited but just imagine all the wonders I can do today.
Today I want to be loved.
As if the world and god himself would rap me in there arms.
Today I want to be special.
Today I want to be meaningful.
Today I want to be me.
Oh well its to late... guess i'll be all the things I want to be tomorrow.
To all those that "want to be" you are blind by all your wants, cant you see? Open your eyes and see the world of you. You are everything you want to be. Don't try, Do.

seasons
Emily Feb 2020
she's as beautiful as day and as mysterious as night
her feelings change as does her leaves during fall
the changing colors and emotions
a great oak tree now feeling cold by winters embrace with no colorful leaves but instead branches that show her majestic story of pain, sorrow, and love
she's a worrier, a soldier in this battle of life
and then when the war of society and sin is over in spring she dances and rejoices with the winds and rain and sings the song of new begging that yet to come
then finally she joins the sun and the clouds
sharing her life with others during the days of summer
she's a home for creatures big and small
shes a shield of protection
a mother caring for her child
a bride preparing for her wedding day

stare
Emily Sep 2019
something so filled with love and light
terns into the night
dark and hallow
you just stare at the stars waiting for one to shoot you a wish
you stare blankly at me no emotion
emptiness covers your eyes and mouth keeping you
unable to breath, unable to see, unable to speak
the saddest truth is you let it take control
you lost the battle because to you, there never was one
there was never a fight because you gave up in the vary beginning
and now you stare blankly into the night hoping one day a star will shoot you a wish
no star will come, no day will shine, no moon will glow for someone who couldn't even fight for it and now you sit blankly and stare hoping they will fight for you....

If only you knew
Emily Feb 2019
if only you knew my love.
For as a shooting star shines
I pray one day you will be called mine.
Its as if you make the sun glisten in your name
yet you play me like a game.
I know you cannot see your world in my eyes
neither can you hear the sadness in my sighs.
If only I could understand and control my teenage heart
but you play such a good part
in this play called life
I know you lie when you say I will one day be your wife.
If only you knew all the things I never told you.
If only you knew.
sorry for not making a poem sooner but my time was occupied here's one from my world of thoughts. Thank you for reading.

satisfied
Emily Dec 2018
You told me you loved me even when you didn't
just to keep me satisfied.
you told me I was your world even when I wasn't
just to keep me satisfied.
you told me that I was your everything even when I was nothing
just to keep me satisfied.
you said it was the truth even when it wasn't
just to keep me satisfied.
you told me you wanted me even though you didn't
just to keep me satisfied.
you told me every heart warming thing even though I knew...
it was all just to keep me satisfied.
But I wasn't.
I never was satisfied.
I wasn't satisfied with your lies.
I wasn't satisfied knowing the truth not told by you.
I wasn't satisfied with you.
I never was.
another poem... lately things have been hard....could you tell? any way pls comment what you think....And I don't think anyone is ever truly satisfied even when they say they are.

Can you see me ?
Emily Dec 2018
Can you see my struggle?
Can you see my pain?
Can you see my past?
Can you see my family?
Can you see my rage?
Can you see my depression?
Can you see my faith?
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear my struggle?
Can you hear my pain?
Can you hear my screams?
Can you hear my depression?
Can you hear my voice, who I really am?
Can you see me? can you hear me?
No.
Because you never really tried and you never will.
I find that people love to judge others yet don't love to be judged, I wrote this for the people who has been judged with out others knowing who they really are, without others knowing what they've been threw or how they feel. for those who want to be heard but cant find there voice.

will you kiss mine back?

will you lend me your smile?

corner
Emily Dec 2019
in a corner
under the bed
asking questions about the dead
how to brake something fix
and how to fix something broke.
in a corner
in a room
with nothing else left to do
wondering thought wounder away
when will the day be that you'll go away
when will that corner expand
to a new land far away
until then
brake whats fixed
and fix whats broke
until that corner turns to another ghost
or what use to be.

sadness fallows
Emily Jan 2020
me to the happiest of places and steals my smile
she comes on birthdays and holidays
she comes on regular days
I say i'm alone but sadness is there
she's the only thing that hasn't left
she's stubborn
and strong
loneliness is sadness brother and stays the nights and days
he's there when i'm in a crowd full of others
he's there at parties
and at family gatherings
he's there even during the happiest of times
depression is their mother and leads her ducklings to my heart
where they rest and live there days and nights
sadness fallows, and her family joins.

bruises

cover her body from left to right
from top to bottom
bruises that name her
memories that make her
past lovers that attempted to brake her
bruises of life and love
wounds that cover her soul
scars show shes a fighter
eyes that tell her story
hands that hold her
legs that keep her up
a soul that flies with the angles
bruises cover her
they tell her story
and hold her battles
they make her stronger
with every pain that goes her way
she stands straight and strong with her bruises
as her trophy showing her beauty.

                                        from darkness grows a light
                                                  brightly shining in the night

Dark
Emily Jun 2019
he walks, never alone
for the darkness fallows
he sighs, as heavy has winds
he glances, with eyes darker then the soul
he laughs, as darkness spills
he speaks, lies swim in the ears of his listeners
he lives., slowly dying inside
he runs, trying to escape the darkness he let in
hes dead, he was never alive to begin with.

by my side
let me hold on to you tight
let love take us away
to a far away land away from all the pain
let me squeeze you tight and remind you that you are loved
let our heart beat to the same rhythm and our minds sing the same song
stay with me for moments longer
and I shall stay with you
because this feeling of love is all so new
but the pain that stays when you go away is all to friendly
all to familiar in its own kind of way
so please just stay
and don't go away

Anger
Emily Nov 2018
Anger.
Rage.
A feeling of hate.
A feeling that takes control and doesn't let go.
A feeling that makes you believe that hate is the only way.
A way of life. Or so they say.
Some believe its the only way.
Some believe it takes control,
Some believe its choice.
Anger.
Rage.
A feeling of hate.
Dose it make you sad to be mad?
Dose it make a tears fall from your eyes and land on you face?
Dose it make you feel unforgivable or unloved?
Dose it make you feel as if the world is targeting you?
Anger...
Rage...
Its an everyday thing. Is it?
Is it up to you to decide or is it just destiny, destined to be perhaps?
Perhaps its just a word?
Perhaps its a way?
dose it makes you?
Do you let it in?
Anger.
Rage.
A feeling of hate.
I've had an off day today and felt a feeling of anger.
I tend to think as if the world has answers that may only be unlocked by the questions,
Which I have many of. I tend to  spend my time in my thoughts, is that"normal" do you tend to do that to? what do you think anger is? What dose it mean to you?

Love For Me?

Love for me is it even a thing?
Will I be held by another?
Will I truly be loved?
May I let go of all that worry me and hope you wont brake me?
Will I ever be free?
Love for me?
Is it even a thing?
Can it happen?
Is it true?
I've been feeling as if love is just a word that people tend to say in order to get what they desire and/or want, The word love use to have so much meaning... I remember as a kid people would only say"I love you" to the people they truly loved but now people could say it to anyone..Why is that?

telling me you hate me
saying you don't want me

why don't you still want me

and I'll love nobody else but you.

truth
Emily Dec 2019
now I lay my head to sleep
and try to count the sheep
but in my mind I scream and fight
battles and wars keep me occupied
the truth hurts but at least its not a lie
you keep me from being free when you lie to me
you add another chain to the ground and keep me from spreading my wings
you cut my hope into pieces and let it die
you bruise my body and watch me cry
you leave me to die with every lie
why not free me from this world of lies with the truth
why chain me to this prison of dying hope and dying dreams
preventing me from souring free.

I feel in love
Emily Jun 2019
with a monster
who ate me whole
devoured me faster then light
just by saying 3 meaningless  words
words no one said to me before

I feel in love with a monster
who wore such a good mask
he had such a great costume
I thought he was the one
but now I see he is.... he's the one that broke me.

I feel in love with a monster
all because he knew I was unloved
and he gave me the thing I wanted
and now...he gives me the thing I fear most

loneliness.
made this up in my mind while listening to a sad song

you where my song
Emily Mar 2019
your heart lets out a beat that no one can resist moving to
your smile, your laugh all part of this song
you are my song
sung just for me you say?
until what was thought to be my song went the other way
token away by another
you where my favorite song you said to me
but now i'm just another collected song in an empty album full of empty others
I was you song
you where my song
and now my song plays a different tune
plays a different beat
a song no longer mines but another
I thought I was your song
and now I know I was just for fun
I was never your favorite song
I was just one to keep you entertain like the others
and to think you where my song...

Him

Him
You loved him
You did all you could for him
You tried for him
You cried for him
You ended things for him
You started things for him
You broke for him
You changed for him
You trusted him
And he used you...
And he lied to you
And as you slept with him he went off to sleep with another
As you loved him he loved another
As you changed for him he changed for another
As you broke for him he grew for another
As you tried for him he tried for another
And he left you for that other.
