Jeweled lanterns,
Journeying silently,
in the twilight bay
Take me away
Let me float with you

Why am I crying

Bud
Jellyfish Apr 13
Bud
I hear her new hit and my past hits me like a mack truck.
I'm always falling into these ruts,
looking, searching, almost begging for reasons
Universe? Soul? God? Trauma?
Who made me like this?
I'm sick of this problem
Remembrance, rain dance, tears, karma
You're so embarrassing
"Go cry where no one's watching"
He said that to me and I stayed around him-
*****.
I isolated so hard, I tried to be forgotten
but deep down I just want to feel understood
like any other person
I want love and care,
Hurt me, choke me, leave marks where no one sees but me.
Just say you love me after;
I won't care if it aches.
I've already been in pain, irritated or feeling worthless
I haven't cared while caring so much
I'm sick of this problem
I want to blossom but it seems I'm a bud

Keep Moving
Jellyfish Dec 2016
The girl clinged to the trees
As she ran through the woods
There was a passing breeze
She got chills but still ran,
She had to get away
From that dreadful land
and go back to the one she loves.
She got lost a time or two
But always kept pushing through
and soon she will be where he is.
Something new, I was unsure what to title this. I put the first thing that came to mind.

Jellyfish Feb 2017
I know if I don't sleep soon
I won't wake up until late in the afternoon
but I can't stop thinking about you
and how you smiled at me
as the distance between us disappeared.
I know it won't be much longer,
but I miss you.
I miss watching you sing
and hugging you until a song was over.
I remember your heartbeat
and feeling nervous as you found mine.
I want to be close to you again.

27
The number grows but
I still can't tell if I am whole.
Every day is nearly the same
until it's simply not.

Even family changes or moves on.
No one is safe in the long run,
Not the encountered stranger,
the acquaintance or friends...

Nobody knows when they'll meet their end,
and it scares me.
I don't like the YOLO philosophy,
but here I am again, pondering.

I'm trying to make sense of everything
I'm wondering what exactly I need...
What can help me be happy?
I wouldn't say I'm ashamed but my past is embarrassing?

I guess I'll continue and just keep going
I'll keep trying my best,
For as long as I can,
I'll try to get through this
You're so embarrassing, go cry when no one's watching

Night
Jellyfish Nov 2016
10% and I feel tired and somewhat sad.
8% and things are stirring in my head,
I might take a nap.
5% and I plug my charger into the wall.
I'm not sure what just washed over me,
But I'm ready for the fall.
just promise you'll catch me?

To be Alone
Jellyfish Jul 2015
And now I'm laying in the dark crying,
Wishing for some form of comfort.
But I don't need this right now.
I need to embrace my frown.
Don't give in to the tightening of your heart.
It's not a permanent occurrence.
That is what I'm afraid of.
I won't give into this feeling.
Because I'm afraid it will fade.
He does not deserve that loss.
So I will continue to be lost.
All by myself.
This is my fate.

Tears
Jellyfish Mar 2017
have you ever cried
until your eyes felt numb?
When the burning sensation fades
but you just can't stop

You're not
Jellyfish Jun 2015
Are you happy now?
Don't pretend you're okay.
Don't say it's just another day,
Because I know the truth.
I can see it in your face.
Those puffy eyes..
I remember them.
On mine.

My Star
Jellyfish May 2017
You're the first thing I think about in the morning
and the last thing I think about at night.
Jellyfish Sep 2024
It happened again
I let someone in
I felt like we were close
but we floated apart

I'll try to distract myself with art,
I feel so alone,
but can't tell anyone
is this how it starts?

My montage?

I see it in TV shows,
movies and music videos
People evolve and change
but I seem to stay the same

But I'll wait for my beginning
The part where I press play
and see myself at the end
I wonder, will I be grinning?

I feel full of regret,
but I cannot reach out again
to these people I copied
whether it was a mistake or not

I have realized I don't have identity.
This is why I'm lonely.
I don't know who I am
I know who I like but drive them away

I'm a mirror for others to use as display.
I feel so sad and bitter today.

Voices Inside
Jellyfish Jul 2015
Chores at 3:00 AM,
Thoughts breaking through my skin.
Don't do that **** to him.
He wouldn't embrace this either way.
So keep moving along, don't stay in place.
You know it'd happen anyways.
You're incapable of such things.
So, go back to cleaning.

Bubbly water splashes.
Plates break,
You cry as you take in your fate.
Emotions are ****** up.
Which is why you were meant to stay alone.

Sleep
Jellyfish Nov 2016
I turn the lights off
I don't want to sleep
but I guess I should.
I wanted to play with you and friends. Stupid router made me think I probably shouldn't. There's always tomorrow...

Apology
Jellyfish Mar 2024
An apology isn't an explanation
It took me until now to get it.
It's upsetting how blind I am
to my own hypocrisy.

I've always wanted acceptance
and felt it was an essential need,
I'd break down each time
My parents couldn't apologize

They'd bring up excuse after excuse,
"It's my belief," "I'm not wrong," "this is my side..."
I hated them for this
But had my own way of doing the same thing.

Does this mean I'm the narcissist?
I'm the selfish, arrogant. awful person
I saw reflecting back at me
Through my family?

These thoughts creep up on me again and again,
They make me want to crawl under a rock,
Become dust and eventually drift away
at least in the wind I could change.
279 · Mar 2017

Jellyfish Mar 2017
tired;
I want you here.
I want to lay with you
and not be scared.

I know
it's not much longer, right?

You light up my world
and scare away the thunder.
My eyes want to close now so I will end this here

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.

I lay here silently listening in the light for her to scream or possibly cry, during this time alone I realize how I may have sounded. Now I'm less frustrated, more sad. I didn't mean for what I said to sound bad. Today turned around quicker than I had expected. I haven't felt this bad in a while. I'm sorry.

Transitions
Jellyfish Oct 2023
It's always been hard for me to switch,
To stop what I'm doing and move on to the next thing
That I'm told to do, whether it's at home, work or even going to the grocery store.

Sometimes I sit for 20 minutes before going in somewhere.
Punctuality has been a staple for me
Even if it means sitting in my car for an hour,
I will be there on time.

I like having time in between these things to prepare
It's like I need to switch mindsets before I begin,
Sometimes 8 hours felt like a punishment.
Other times it can fly by thanks to dissociation.

Heart beat

I wish it would go away
It makes me anxious
maybe I'm going insane...
I never used to notice it,
so why do I now?

Rolling

Tonight I turned into one of those couples that I would stare at when my family would take long road trips. Tonight, a dream of mine came true. Tonight I really loved, singing together in the car with you.

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?

Shuddering and in tears
I awake from a nightmare
As I sit up you stand quickly
to sit beside and comfort me

As I cried you held me
while I told you the story
that made me so sad,

we were fighting...
about what I can't recall
but as I begged you to turn around
you continued to walk on
away from me
I yelled "I have one hug left!"
you paused, but only for a moment.
just as you began to take another step
I sat up.
bad dream comfort

To my Golden Jellyfish
Jellyfish Nov 2023
In the quiet depths of my jelly-filled heart,
A fluttering dance, a mysterious start
Your presence, a moonlit serenade
In the ocean of feelings, we softly wade.

Moonlight reflections in your eyes so deep,
A love story, in the quiet of the big blue sea
You, my ocean of warmth, my gentle tide,
In this jellyfish heart, forever, you'll reside

Sad Times
Jellyfish Jul 2015
I'm sorry for the pain that you're feeling right now.
Just know that things will get better, But for now,
You should just embrace your frown.
It's okay to be sad for a while.
But please know this won't last forever.
Eventually, you'll feel better.
And when you do, believe it or not.
You will more than likely find new love.
