Sleep and Seek
Jellyfish Sep 2015
Is it so bad.. that I just want to hold your hand? I want to pull you in and try to help you understand this isn't a ******* game, okay? You're either in or out there's no way around this yes or no question and if I keep thinking this way I might just go insane. I want you all to myself.. I've never felt this way please just tell me you're going to stay.. Until this pain subsides I'm going away to hide dreams may not be the best place to disappear to but it's the only place where I can see you. I'm sorry for being so paranoid. I guess this is what happens, when people find something they don't want to lose.

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.

Artificial Love
Jellyfish Oct 2016
False and insincere...
is this how I've come off to you for so long?
It makes sense considering everything I've done
I hate myself for being that way, and putting you through those things.

I don't want kids if this is what's in store for them:
depression, diseases, anxiety, emotionlessness, goodbyes, heartbreaks, bullies, stomach aches, pain, sorrow, tears, anger, even happiness can be cruel at times it can be worse than having a life threatening fever. But that
doesn't mean I don't want the good things for them:
goodnight sleep-tights, I love yous, first words, joy, exploring, going out as a family, not having to worry about abandonment or exporation dates
maybe someday the world will be a good enough place to have you here.
But right now all that I see are terrible things and not-meant-to-bes.

I really care for you
and I know you do too.
Thanks to you,
I've become who I am.
You're not only my lover
you're my best friend.
I want to experience
so many things together.
I want to have something
that will be remembered,
I want to keep learning
and growing with you.
I love that when I least expect it,
we go through something new.
Nothing is never nothing,
when it's something with you.
I love you

Jellyfish Oct 2017
Zip
I wish there were a system in my mind
that had filing cabinets and computers  holding all of my memories inside so I could just zip you away, but it doesn’t work that way.
I ******* miss you, and I hate it.

Rain From Within
Jellyfish May 2024
I let fear fog up my mind
My thoughts yell at me "I'm trying!"
While my actions show me
I want to let the light in

but I fall into darkness
all too often I hide away
and avoid the open blue sky
because the rainclouds distract my mind

the sky-blue sheet above me
only inspires every thought
I try to avoid to blow through
and bring rain from within

8 (You Found Me)
Jellyfish Nov 2016
You saw me crying
as I was sinking
you pulled me in
and wrapped me up

I was surrounded
with your love
when you found me
and I still am, even now.

The Pact
Jellyfish Jul 2015
One girl, one boy.
Totally different,
But very alike.
They find eachother.
They need eachother.
But not for love.
At least, not yet.

She feels guilty,
She flaked out.

He's ******.
But he'll accept it.

They'll figure it out.
Together.
I'm just blabbering right now. It's strange, the things I think about in my head when I feel alone. I sometimes create an alternate story to my life in my own head. It makes me wonder if I'm crazy. It's sure as Hell better than what I'm actually living out. Or is it? Maybe the people I create inside of my mind are having as much of a ****** life as I am. But I only see the good side of it. No, I'm just insane.

Exhaustion
Jellyfish Oct 2017
Some days I want to be completely alone,
on others I’m crying for friends I don’t have.
Sometimes I want to go out and have fun,
other times I feel like a troll came
and super glued me to my bed over night.
It’s so exhausting, being scared and tired all the time.
Sometimes I wish I’d sink into soil and become compost for snails.

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.

Coloring book
Jellyfish Jan 2017
he showed her the sun
and as the snow melted
her monochrome life
became so vibrant.
The darkness washed away
when the artist started a new page
where my path met yours.

Drifting
Jellyfish Apr 2017
You slip out of my bed
as I'm falling asleep.
Though, I'm still feeling
your warmth around me.
My heart beat is steady
my breathing is quiet.
You may not hold me in your arms
until I've fallen asleep,
but being close to you is comforting.
You always leave me beaming.

When I have Nothing
Jellyfish Oct 2015
What will I do
when I have nothing to lose
when everyone finally sees
that there are so many
reasons to leave me?
insecurities
abandonment
suicidal questions
I'll understand if and
when you leave
I'm no one
special
even when
I have nothing.

Meh
Jellyfish Nov 2016
Meh
I hate when I'm in the mood to write
But nothing I put down comes out right.
I'm thinking about him and my excitement
But at the same time I'm nervous, also content.

I guess I can't decide whether to be tired or vent.

Montage
Jellyfish Jan 2024
I want to skip the montage
I'd see who stayed and who's gone
Did I lose the weight
Did I leave or stay
Could I be what I needed
Or did I stay in bed depleted
I want to skip the montage;
Move forward to when I've moved on

Nothing
Jellyfish Sep 2015
We're just people
it's the sad truth
we lose our minds
and don't know
what to do
where to go
what to say
to you?

You're hard for me
to expose myself to
because I don't want
you to see through me

Because honestly
underneath my boring
exterior, I'm really sad.
and it's like you don't know
but I am
and there's nothing that you
or anyone else could really do
that'd change that fact
The fact that I'm literally
going no where
I'm a walking piece of nothing.

Reassurance
Jellyfish Oct 2017
I like to be reassured,
If I’m not I worry and stress.
so I try to tell you often,
about how you’re not like the rest.

Today
Jellyfish Sep 2015
Today I saw an old man
who wore a golden chain
around his neck which
looks kind of red
I wonder if he's mad
I can't help but question
how he got the chain and
what makes him wear it
I wonder why people wear
things around their neck.
It usually irritates my skin
but sometimes I like it.
I wonder why that is..

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.

Begging for Silence
Jellyfish Jun 2015
Shhh, quiet down.
I hate those sounds,
That escape your mouth.
Keep them locked inside.
I'm begging for silence,
From the monsters around me.
Please stop thinking.
I can't stand the words.
That are filling my ears.
They're truly my fears.
You've caused them to be.

Saying goodbye is hard, but I'll do it over and over again until we don't have to anymore.
Nothing has really changed.

Star and Moon
Jellyfish Jun 2020
I'll follow you through the galaxy
into black holes, around moons, through seas
but will you follow me to a new atmosphere?
It's a planet that's so far from here.

Am I exceptional enough to capture your attention
if I am will this feature last long enough
for us to be known as star and moon for life?
If you follow me, I'll follow you.

Unseen Verses
Jellyfish Dec 2023
I spend lots of time writing poems
I probably write two a day,
So it sounds silly to me
I don't let many see
All the writings
That I create

Afraid
Jellyfish Oct 2017
I try to hold back the tears,
as my phone shines in my face
I cover my eyes with my palms
to try to hide any trace of what slipped away.
I’m so tired of being alone.

Jellyfish Mar 2016
sometimes i feel so sad, i think i'll just die.
i talk to myself and wonder why i even try.
i stare at my ceiling and try not to cry
but it all comes out one tear drop at a time.
sorry for the bad grammar i just dont want to fix it right now, maybe tomorrow.

Crash into me
Jellyfish Sep 2015
I'm physically exhausted; tired
I want to take a bath and lean
back into it, avoid thinking about
you.. and forget everything that
makes me hate the world and me;
myself.

You don't understand, you say I'm
depressed but it's more than just
this.. I want to go home and smell
the air that surrounds me there
I want to step out into warm rain;
take in my fate and ignore my
designated place in the world..

My cold feet will slap against the
streets pavement and I wil stand;
awaiting my painful death
I've always believed that death
can never be painless anyways..

And honestly, I think I might just
crave this one thing because maybe
just maybe as they're crashing into
me... I'll awaken from a terrible
dream and realise I have a family
who cares and live a life where I'm
**h a p p y . . .

Ignored
Jellyfish Aug 2017
Why am I here?
Laying under blankets,
eyes filled with tears,
everything feels uninteresting.
All I feel is disgusting and sad.
I don't want to bring others down
but when they can see through the mask
they get mad.

*and I end up ignored anyways.

How to be Happy
Jellyfish Oct 2017
So often these days, I find it hard not to cry as time passes.
I look at the clock and wonder how far I'll actually make it.
I tell myself "when I move out I'll be happier...
I won't wake up like this anymore."
but at the end of the day I lay in bed filled with fear,
that I won't know how to be anymore.

Sleepy
Jellyfish Dec 2016
I tend to write directly before I sleep
Or just when I wake up
If I write somewhere in between,
That's when you know something's up.

Today was good, it was okay
Tonight was lovely, I saw his face.
But now it's real late and I'll be asleep soon,
Someday I hope, next to you.

Always Leaving
Jellyfish Jun 2015
I don't want to be left in the past.
I thought these sad times had passed,
But obviously they have not.
I'm still being left behind; forgot.

Soon enough he'll be gone.
I'll be once again at a loss.
It'll just be me, like usual.
Am I really that unapproachable?

Overthinking Process
Jellyfish Jan 2017
I'm tired and
my eyes burn from posting
these poems on private,
so many I keep hidden
due to my dreaded
overthinking process.
It's not that I don't want to share more, I just think too much about what I'm trying to say.

Drugs
Jellyfish Oct 2015
Normally I'd fall asleep
in such a calm state,
it was like a dream
but there's no sleeping
with you around
I'm too attracted to the sounds
that escape from your lips
every giggle that slips out
makes me smile all too well
it's almost as if you're a drug-
inside of my heart is a flood
full of fun things I never get
the chance to see
*thanks for everything.

It was Cold
Jellyfish Nov 2016
I'm holding onto you and shutting my eyes, as the song keeps playing, my heart continues to melt. The sounds from the squirrels jumping on leaves are all drowned out... I feel your hands moving, I smile and breathe you in, our faces come close again, your nose touches mine and I know I don't want this time together to end. *It was cold outside but you left me feeling heated.
The squirrel was laughing at us.
