21
I’m only 21 and I’m trying so hard not to give up
But giving up looks more appealing than ever

I’m only 21 and I feel like I’ve reached the final stage
I’m only 21 and I’m exhausted

I’m only 21 and I’ve been a friend
A lover
A writer
A painter
A stoner
A saint
A shelter
A liar
A prison
An enemy
An impostor
A heart breaker

I’m only 21 and I’m trying to fight this recurring thought that I’ve done all I can on this planet

I keep telling myself to hold on, there are better things coming along.
But with better, losing is way worse

I’m only 21 and I want to have a child one day
I’m only 21 and I’m holding on

Feelings are indefinable, embed that into your mind.

Realize that how many times you try to communicate them that it wont be as pure as you want them to be.

Realize how it's different with each of us and also exactly the same.

Realize the few that will maintain them and simplify them for you.

Appreciate those who will understand you without a word.

Remember that our spirits leans on one another.

Remember that wherever you are, whatever you're feeling is an energy hoping to be let out.

End
I am a person born in this female body.

With hands that build and legs to keep me upright.

With eyes that see and a mind full of imagination.

I am a person capable of change.

Capable of love.

Capable of laughter.

I am a person gravitating towards you.

Gravitating towards the fuel to help my fire burn bright.

Gravitating towards the sun and moon to keep me company.

I am a person.

with a beginning and an end.

I have become comfortable with being uncomfortable.
I am just learning how to deal with this new territory.
I have become aware of this stage I'm on.

Forget the crowd and try to stick to the script.
Try to join the actors.
Try to be more of a team player.

Use the props that you are given.
Feed off the rest of the cast.
Feed off the audience.

Play your role.

I knew from the first time I laid my eyes on you that you would break my heart.

I chose you to break me and I am grateful.

I knew from the first time I kissed you that I loved you and was only waiting for your love back.

I knew from the first time you said those three words that I would one day lose you.

I want to let you know that my heart will mend but not by another.

My heart will mend by the words that flows through me remembering you.

My heart will mend by the poems I write for you and after you.

My fingers will not stop typing because you fell in love with the outcome.

I will use these poems as messages to you.

I hope that you are okay with me using you.

Thank for the journey upon your deep blue seas.

Thank you for making me lost between your tides.

Thank you for making me look up and experience the beauty of stars like I have never done before.

Thank you for making me love you or I would never start loving myself.

Thank you for leaving or I would not have found myself.

Now I stand on the shores with my toes deep in the sand.

Now I stand on an unfamiliar ground and I am not afraid.

Thank you.

We dance on this earth without listening to the song of the universe.
We wear our hearts on our sleeve wishing for warmth.

The universe sings songs of the dead stars.
The earth moves to the sound of our heartbreaks.

Our hearts are too loud to listen.
Our hearts are too loud to dance to the rhythm.
