Did they feel it ?
Ella Jul 2018
I could feel it.
The pressure rising in the room
like I was back in the fire ;

heat rising above me as I lay on the ground
******* in all the clean oxygen I could find

Like I was back on the fire;
crawling across my bedroom floor trying to find a way out amongst the clouds of smoke

Like I was back in the fire;
feeling my skin boil as I tumble down the stairs looking for the front door

Like I was back in the fire

The fire

All I can feel are the flames dancing on my skin

I felt like I’m back in the fire even though I knew we made it out alive but the fire

it’s all I can feel now

I sat in that room for 3 hours

wondering if the doctors could feel the pressure like I do
My house burned down

smoke
Ella Jun 2018
fire burned in my soul
until waves of tears turned everything to ash
and the leftover smoke clogged my throat
making it impossible to ask for help

emotionx
Ella Mar 2018
I've always been too emotional about everything

Too sensitive too loud to outgoing too me

I never understood ,still don't understand
how people could care so little about everything

how people were "too cool" for living

     thank you

Sitting In Silence
Ella Jan 2018
Do you remember

that last night?

Before things got ****** up,

and everything was normal.

We sat in your car,

driving through the sleeping city;

unbeknownst to the future,

and how bad everything would end.

If only I had known

how little time we had.

I would have said something,

instead of sitting in silence.

Losing Another Star
Ella Dec 2017
"Jonghyun, a star that shined brightly on stage for 10 years,
now a star of the sky".

I think the words are beautiful, but I don't think they're enough.
jonghyun, an amazing Korean singer committed suicide. we love you Jonghyun and we know you are free from everything you were going through.

Hes Gone
Ella Dec 2017
The world aches today.

My lungs feel full of water and

my stomach feels twisted into knots.

I wish we could have done more to save you from the darkness of the world.

We love you
we love you Jonghyun. we are sorry for what you were going through.

Shardes of Glass
Ella Dec 2017
I've been badly broken

Beaten down so far I don't even recognize myself

All I have left are bits and pieces of what I once was

Shardes of my life

Thats all I have left to give

Just the rubble of what once was

I hope its enough for you
i have homework

an icy shock through my veins,

Goodbye.
That’s what you said.
So every passing glance I give to you and every thought you steal from my mind, I look for the good in your bad goodbye
Bad goodbye

Seconds or Minutes
Ella Nov 2017
How did that happen?

Was it you? or me?

Why did you look to me?
Why didn't I look away?

How long did we sit there,
before the bus shook us back into reality?

Was it 5 seconds? a minute or two?

Who knows.

But it changed everything
Dude this actually happened

young writers
Ella Nov 2017
young writers arent hard to spot.

their writings will scream their age

words full of hormones

and stories not revised

just their thoughts spewed out onto the page
young writes like me

Too Young
Ella Nov 2017
Too young they say.

Too young for dark circles hiding under my eyes and
too young for aches in pains in my body and
too young to be so sad we shove blades in our arms and
too young to say we're in love; " it's just your hormones"

If I'm too young to live this life then why and I living it.

eyes to the soul
Ella Nov 2017
you have boring eyes,

or that's what you say.

But in the fluorescent lights of a classroom
they are an icy grey, piercing through my soul.

And in the sunlight of the waterpark,
they shine like the sky: as bright as your smile.
I mean that's what you think but you're not that simple

New Begining
Ella Oct 2017
Hiding in the darkness

In the shadows of her mind

She huddled cold and broken

A soul someone should to find

She waited there for month on end

Begging to be released

Until he took a peak inside

And but put her together piece by piece
It’s not love but it could be :)

Paint Brushes
Ella Oct 2017
We painted a picture.

With old wooden paint brushed,
and expired paint in rusting cans.

We swirl together yellows and pinks,
blues and reds.

The image of us comes together
as we go.

With each the stoke we push harder
on the old canvas.

Until it rips through the center.

The jagged whole going up the entire page,

and we have to start all over.

Not My Fault
Ella Oct 2017
It's not my fault.

I didn't do anything.

Or maybe that's why she left.

Because I didn't do anything

To stop her from going
Going to take a short break from poetry. Need some metal health time.

Reality
Ella Oct 2017
In a kindergarten class room, young curious minds learning the beginnings of the world.

Letters
Colors
Shapes

But they aren't taught the reality of their future.

Like how the boy sitting at the first table won't marry the love of his life because of their like genders,

Or the girl with pigtails won't become the amazing actor she is destine to be because of the color of her skin.

You have to be taught discrimination, no one is born knowing.

Her Facade
Ella Sep 2017
She walks around in clover fields.

And dances in the sky.

She speaks a voice of summer breeze.

And eyes, no tears to dry.

She lives her life with grace and ease

You wouldn't take a second look

But behind the fare facade she keeps,

the missing soul he took.
A poem I wrote for a friend

Car Rides
Ella Sep 2017
I think its the lights,

or maybe the sounds?

that make late night car rides

so peacful.

With the radio to drown out

all your demons,

of stress and depression.

And lights flickering by,

making your eyes look like galaxies.

Staring out the window,

watching the sleeping world

as you drive passed.

Trigger
Ella Sep 2017
They drew tiny sketches

On eachother journals

Ignoring the video

In my 8th period spanish class

No words where even spoken between them

Just side eye glances and smiles

I gave then disappointing glares

To get back to the lesson

They rolled their eyes

And got back to the notes

Who would guess

Such a small moment

Would be the last they had together

Before the man in a mask walked in

And stole their childhood

With the pull of a trigger

Maybe if I had known

I would have let him keep making her laugh

For her last time
some people wont understand but some poeple will.

Her
Ella Sep 2017
Her
her hair is dark.
rays of golden light shine throw white curtians onto it as she sleeps in the morning.

her eyes are golden
stars dance in them everytime she smiles.

she walks through moonlit gardens with shallow ponds,
and through firey tunnels where her demons hide.

she is beautful
but not weak

she is strong, and powerful

Insomnia
Ella Sep 2017
Insomnia will **** you
It will break down your soul

Insomnia will **** you  
It will swallow you whole


"just sleep" they say
through out the day

But you fear, it will never be fixed.
Ive been trying to write an insomnia peom for a while now because ive experienced it and ive finally found the words.

Inside Our Peaceful Bubble
Ella Sep 2017
We lay on a blanket,
in a quite, grassy feild.

Watching shooting stars
through our atmospheric sheild.

Outside our peacful bubble,
the world may fight, and fight.

But here were safe together.

In darkness, we're so bright
again a work in progress

Pretty Cover
Ella Sep 2017
Behind a pretty cover is where my healing soul waits.

Hiding from the world that destroyed me once before.

From the gaps in the pages i see others alike me being broken down

What I would give for the chance to pull them in out of the rubble,

But I can't

I'm healing

I protect my pretty cover,

Because it's all I have left.

Prescription Addiction
Ella Sep 2017
Perscription addiction
It will keep me sane

A twist of the bottle
A change in my name

Perscription addiction
They said it would help

Perscription addiction
I cry out for help
i wrote this realy fast in spanish class  and will probably re write it but oh well

Lies
Ella Aug 2017
When youre young youre taught never to lie
"Lying never gets you anywhere" they say.

But when the dark days come back.
And they ask if you're ok.

They never want the realy answer.
They want those lies.

Falling in love
Ella Aug 2017
Love is like walking on slippery tile

You walk along gripping onto everything around you desperately trying not to fall.

Then one push , not even hard. And you land on your face on the floor.

That's why it's called

"Falling in love"
Quirky love po. Definitely  not the best peice I've ever written.

Warmer
Ella Aug 2017
Cold
Cold
Cold

All I feel walking through a frozen life filled with grey faces.

Until I catch her eyes,
And oh her sweet eyes heat up my soul so fast I get dizzy and loose my breathe.

Just one glimpse and my whole life turns on, like flipping a light switch.

One glance and my life was flooded with color and warmth.

Warm

Magic
Ella Aug 2017
Writing is like magic

In reality all your doing is putting ink on a piece of paper.

But in your head so much more is happening

Your creating worlds, histories,storylines.
You create characters with relationships, ambitions, hopes and dreams.

Writing gives you the power to create a universe for others to escape into.

I guess that's why we love to read.

To escape into the magic.

Poison
Ella Aug 2017
Poison dosent come out all at once.
It comes out slowly, drop by drop.
Wait, be patient.
Your healing.
It takes time.

Before Everything Happened
Ella Aug 2017
Before everything happened,

Smoked swirled in her soul.
Embers burned behind her eyes,
And the heat rose in her heart.

After everything happened.

The tears burned it all out.
Until everything was ash.

Trust
Ella Aug 2017
Its scary to think one person can hold all of you in their hands ;

all your happiness
all your ambition
all your love

everything

but maybe thats what love is right?
trusting someone enough to hand them everything and hope they dont let it slip between their fingers.
ooOooOooooOO dramatic
