the school system is so ******* irritating,
i've been doing all this work for years to be where Im at now,
and because of 0.1 credit i may not be able to graduate this year
0.1 credit,
that's ******* just let me write a ******* paper or something,
it not even half of a credit,
it may all get fixed tomarrow
but if not
im literally ******
AHHHHHHH

Here I lay,
Night after night,
unable to fall asleep,
The only thing on my mind is you,
Your smile,
Words said in the past,
Laughs had in the past,
Laughs we will have in the future,
Words that can now be shared in a future,
All of it consumes me at night,
Taking away the sleep I desperately need,
But it’s ok,
Because you are much much a better picture then the darkness that haunts my dreams,
There’s been less and less of it since you saved me that day,
When your words brought me back from the edge,
The day that snapped me out of years of depression,
The day that has then lead me to gain love for myself,
Are there days of doubt?
Yes, some days I see the little scared child I used to be,
Yes, some days I hate my body,
Yes, some days the horrible things haunt me,
Unable to find happiness,
The horrors that have constantly haunted me,
Are now a shallow thought of the day,
Because now you are my deep thought of night,
Thank you for that day,
Thank you for being there to save me when I couldn’t save myself

all these months i have liked you
and now you like me too
I'm just so scared I'm gonna do something to mess this up
and not only lose my boyfriend but my friend,
who was there for me when i had no one

the moment a poet
falls in love with you

is the moment
you live

She Writes
You asked me why I like you
But I didn’t want to tell
Some of my reasons are cheesy...
But here is why I fell

I love the way your lips curve
When I make you smile
It makes me want to pull you close
And kiss you for awhile

I love the way your eyes twinkle
When you talk about things you love
I truely believe
You are a gift from above

I love that you are compassionate
You have such a big heart
That was the first thing I noticed
Right from the start

I love the way it feels
When you hold me tight
I finally feel safe
Like I could sleep through the night

I love that you don’t judge me
For my less than perfect self
That is more attractive
Than any amount of wealth

There are so many more reasons
But I’ll start with just this few
Maybe someday
I’ll give this poem to you

If I wrote a book,
you will be my central character.
Million copies later,
I may write through your impeccable knowledge.

If I wrote a poem,
you will be in every word.
A couple of views later,
I may speak through your poetic silence.

If I acted in a play,
you will be my audience.
A few applauses later,
I may act out a monologue of glorious affection.

Say hi,
Say hello,
Say no more,
When words stop,
I will understand,
That we are where we need to be.

If I met you in real life,
you will be my soul mate.
A few decades later,
I may seek a second life with you.

So, meet me now! :)

I walk around a shell of who I once was,
Hoping I start to feel again,
No one notices anything,
Maybe I’m just meant to be numb,
Maybe it’s better this way
