Silence can be comforting
Silence can be calming
Silence can be harming
Silence can be deathly
Silence can be stealthy
In this silence, you can leave me
You can break me
Drown me in this silent sea
This silence is killing me
This silence is chaining me down
Leaving me to drown
While I wish to be free
In this silent sea

if i wrote my future
all would be changed
from the way i was raised
to the thoughts in my brain
if i wrote my future
no love would be lost
so i’d stand right beside you
no matter the cost
if i wrote my future
i’d bring nothing but peace
and save you from sorrow
and the darkness that creeps
if i wrote my future
you’d still be here
but you wrote my future
and i did nothing
but stare

i spend my days
pouring myself into the cups of others

only to find that
when it’s time for myself
to take a sip

all that’s left
in my cup
is the remainder of a girl
who gave too much
self care is extremely important. most days I fight my depression by putting smiles onto others faces, but forgetting about my once bright smile.
I spend too many nights thinking
Wondering, writing, dreaming
Of someone who doesn't even think of me
They came to me in
a febrile dream.
Whispered screams and
malformed limbs.
They wanted to drag
me to the hell they
came from, but I fought,
and got well.

Check out my you tube channel where I read my poetry.
It's 11:11
and for the first time
after a very long time
I'm wishing for myself
and not for you
Roses are red and
Violets are so blue and
Just listen to heart beat faster
Everytime I'm with you.
Kiss me oh kiss me
Please do oh what should I do
Sweetheart all I want is a special kiss
From a woman who's truly beautiful as you.
It was boring, at times it was tough,
But you helped me with my stuff,
And I thank you.
The situation is difficult,
We are still gathering information
To know exactly, why it is best to do nothing.
