Fre...nimies?
Jellyfish Jul 2017
The more I recall the
things you ranted,
the more angry I feel towards you,
and all the less enchanted.
Jellyfish Jul 2017
Laying here in my bed,
which lays in my sweltering room.
Laying here moody,
until I start thinking about you.
My room is so hot I'm going to die.

Orange Octopus

Little orange octopus
that's staring at me,
your fluffiness looks comforting
but I wish you'd tell me what you see.

Kept Inside; Bottled Up
Jellyfish Jul 2017
Though I know I shouldn't,
it's as if I'm floating in brine.
You know I'm feeling something,
when I come here and think up rhymes
just to try and express what's usually
kept bottled up inside.
Right now, I just want to hide.

From one mood to another,
it's always "fun" being on a roller coaster.

Overwhelmed
Jellyfish Jul 2017
no one sticks around
they don't want to hear me out,
conversations go unfinished
and I'm back to wearing a frown.

Jellyfish Jul 2017
Why do I feel so sad?
Each time I turn over
I physically, feel more bad.
Once I get over it
and think I'm alright...
the next day comes.
Then I'm up all night.

Jellyfish Jul 2017
She lays there under her blankets...
and tries so hard to sleep.
But each time her phone lights up the room,
she feels how her heart leaps.

It yearns for him; his presence,
just a glimpse of his hand holding hers.
She just wants to hear his laugh again
and feel every word.
I miss you.

Tearing Up
Jellyfish Jun 2017
My fan won't stop creaking
and I cannot stop thinking.
My eyes are willfully burning
but when I close them it doesn't stop the hurting.

Wilting
Jellyfish Jun 2017
Vibrant and lovely
until winter hits,
the sunflower blooms.
Why is it wilting so soon?

Looking Back
Jellyfish Jun 2017
It all just makes me want to sleep
and stay hidden under my blankets.

Struggles
Jellyfish Jun 2017
struggles occur,
often I'll juggle many
in attempt to avoid them
and pretend I'm empty;
nothing can hurt me!
but eventually I mess up
and break the tossing.
One struggle breaks
right after the other,
and in the end
I usually feel much better.
Nothing is as bad as it seems, just lay it all out in front of you. You can get through anything.

One of THOSE smiles
Jellyfish Jun 2017
Do you ever have one of those smiles...
you know, the kind only someone special can cause.
The kind where your heart doesn't exactly drop,
but it's a similar feeling just way slowed down.
Maybe this sensation I'm trying to describe is called melt?
That kind of smile.
Where your heart just melts as the corners of your lips turn up and create the opposite of a frown.
That kind of smile where you receive chills,
not necessarily anywhere special
just scattered chills that make the whole thing feel even better.
A smile that you're excited to show,
a truly amazing smile.
I can't sleep and wanted to write about something so I started thinking about the other day, when I was on the phone with my favorite person and all I could do was smile throughout the whole call and so I thought I'd try to describe how it felt to smile so much and this is what I came up with. Excuse my huge run on sentence in here...

Remembering
Jellyfish Jun 2017
You've showed me
that I don't need to be afraid.
Not everyone is going to leave
and there's no reason to push them away.

Before Bed
Jellyfish Jun 2017
I play one more game before deciding to logout.
I lay in my bed with a book and tune out.
After finding a good place to stop,
I roll over to my back and see your letters from the corner of my eye.
I can't help but look over and read
*"for my homeboy"
Just thinking before I fall asleep, about who means the most to me.

My Person
Jellyfish Jun 2017
I always feel the most content
when I'm sitting or talking with you.
I'm so happy with you.

With You
Jellyfish Jun 2017
In my dreams
we're surrounded
at the bottom of the ocean
by a school of fish.
We're holding hands
and embracing all of it.
The light barley shining through
as the current indecisively moves,
The ocean may be deep
and sometimes spooky
but at least I'm swimming through it
with you.

I Miss You
Jellyfish Jun 2017
I know I tell you how I miss you a lot, but it's not my fault, you just have a way of captivating my thoughts.

Laying Awake
Jellyfish Jun 2017
I know, it's four in the morning
and I should be sleeping,
but these thoughts I keep thinking,
they just go on endlessly.
I think about my past
and how I got to where I am,
who I want to be become,
and who I love being with.
I think about how I've grown
and about how my dog has grown  
I think of conversations I can't remember the endings to
and I remember the worst parts
of everything too.
I wonder how my distant family is doing
and whether or not they think of me too?
But near the end of this sequence
I always come back to me and you.
So you see, there are things
that keep me up late at night,
it probably would help if I just closed my eyes.

Stressed

Stress envelopes me.
Why do I so often feel like
I'm too much of something or lacking?

Burning Eyes
Jellyfish Jun 2017
When I can't sleep at night
Do you know what I do?
I lay in my bed
and I think about you.
I think of funny moments
and moments that were sad,
times where you comforted me,
and times where we held hands.
Because when I think of you,
I feel the most comforting warmth inside.
You calm the rushing waves,
and create a perfect tide.
My eyes are burning but when I close them they refuse to stay shut.

Bottles Break
Jellyfish Jun 2017
I wish I wouldn't bottle things up so often. I underestimate my feelings, and wind up hurting. It's truly the worst feeling of all, when the smallest of things end up breaking the bottle. All I want really is to express myself freely without overthinking everything that runs through my mind.
im sorry if sometimes i come off as over emotional.

friends
Jellyfish May 2017
It's nice to have people around you,
who you know won't attack you.
I don't feel like I'm walking on glass anymore.
I don't have to worry about ending up crying on the floor. It's nice, how my mind isn't racing with worries. I never knew a world without you, could still be happy.
May 2017 · 314
Comfortable
Jellyfish May 2017
Before you, I'd never had anyone comfort me the way you have. I think that's why I keep all these sentimental things. So that even when you're not around me, you still are, in a sense.

Thinking before Sleeping
Jellyfish May 2017
You don't write often
but I still check your page every day.
You word things in such a sublime way.
I like reading the poems you've written.

Goodbye
Jellyfish May 2017
We finally said goodbye
hopefully for the last time.
It was a peaceful ending
No one ended up crying.
I laid everything out on the table
you responded calmly
I was surprised,  
for the first time we weren't unstable.
I won't remember you as a horrible friend. I'll remember the you I met in the beginning.

Remembering things we did together,

You're Not so Amazing
Jellyfish May 2017
After rereading what you said to me,
now for the seventh time...
I'm starting to wonder if I am like her.
She dumps all her problems on a forum
while I dump mine here.
It's true I once was sad enough to hurt
but I showed no one.
You were there during this time
do you not remember?
How dark I became...
You hold yourself high on a pedestal
and like to think you made me who I am today.
While you did take part in the little things
you did not make me.
All you've made me is negative energy,
little smiles in between didn't help anything, not really.
Friends don't do these things,
not to each other.
I should have learned sooner.
Though I often wonder
when it all went under, the waves.
The waves that swallowed our loyalty.
Why did things have to get so difficult?
Leaving me always feeling so questionable, towards you.
You say I can trust you,
and that one slip up means nothing.
But I remember the last "slip up"
and the one before that, and the one before that.
You call me hypocritical,
for doing something in my past
that is completely unrelatable.
IT WAS NOT YOUR STORY TO TELL.
To anyone. Ever.
I hope you know, I would never
tell someone of your past.
Not the painful things that hurt you,
not the times you felt tearful.
*Why do you not care?*
Jellyfish May 2017
I don't know why
every single time
we have a fight
I remember that time,
the time you hurt me the most.

There's a storm moving in my friend,
and I don't think the damage will be recoverable...
Not for us.

Calming sounds

When I'm laying here
listening to your letters
crinkling as my old fan
blows air towards them
on the wall, I feel calm.

Always Toxic
Jellyfish May 2017
I want to remove you,
but I don't know how.
Things you say to me
tend to leave me feeling down.

You make me feel guilty
for things I shouldnt be.
but you make me happy
through the worst of things.

When I look into the past
and think of all we've been through
the good and the bad,
I feel mad.

I don't know what to expect
when starting new friendships
because ours has always been toxic.
Will you understand when I let you go?
I want to let you go. My longest known, toxic, friend.

Off
Jellyfish May 2017
Off
Do you ever wish you could turn it off?
Your mind, your heart, your saddest song?
The part of you that lays awake
until the crack of dawn in tears and shaking.
The part that wants to hide away
the one inside who stays
only to make your day horrible before it's even begun.
Don't you wish you could turn it off?
Do you wish you could disappear until every bad thought stops causing a new tear?

2 Years
Jellyfish May 2017
We started with keyboard taps and echoed laughter.
We opened doors full of nothing but matter.
I am so happy to be able to say,
I met this engaging boy.
Who stole my heart and filled me with joy.
He's never stung me,
or tore me apart,
but one thing he has done,
is find the way into my heart.
May 2017 · 366
Thankful
Jellyfish May 2017
I lay here in tears
thinking about how I've changed.
When we found each other
I was a little deranged
in a sad kind of way.
I was going through things
but you found a way to open me up.
Today, looking back
I never would've thought
I'd be as happy as I am.
I've been laying here thinking, only good things. I wanted to write about it before I let myself sleep.

Headache
Jellyfish May 2017
I want to cry,
I want to scream,
Everything I'm feeling
has begun to build up.
How do I let this out?
I can barely understand it all.
It's one thing after another
I think about it for a moment
and push each bad thought aside
then they all come back, together.
I'm starting to think that my newer poetry, isn't poetry at all.

Sensitive
Jellyfish May 2017
I know that I'm sensitive
and I know I can be... clingy,
hopefully you're not too bothered
by the way I blow up your phone...
sending you songs or pictures
that I've draw, that I think you'll like
or how I continuously try to write poetry
that isn't written the way it probably should be, for you.
Hopefully, you know I act the way I do
because I'm simply crazy about you.
I'm sorry for always blowing up your phone.

Today
Jellyfish May 2017
Today started with anger and a long drive.
It's ending with tears and sleep.
The things that happened in between
for me, were rather bleak.

His day, however, seemed better.
Which brings a smile to my face
but only for a little while.

Phone Notifications
Jellyfish May 2017
My phone buzzes and I jump
sometimes out of excitement,
sometimes out of fear,
sometimes I don't move at all
due to being sad or feeling down,
the buzz ends up ignored.

Idiotic Girl
Jellyfish May 2017
Idiotic girl,
ranting in the form of a sentence
in this forum full of nonsense
about how an old friend
felt her up despite knowing
she has sexaul trauma issues...
but that's just her post today.
Tomorrow there will be something
else that actually triggers me,
but she doesn't care about that possibility,
does she?
Why am I still on this stupid website?

Don't Say We're Sleeping
Jellyfish May 2017
Don't say goodnight, not yet.
Just stay with me
and say, "the night's not over yet."
continue to tell me silly things
that you're reading.
I know I'm not saying much
but I won't admit I'm feeling sleepy.
