Simple Mind
Although it may seem like I'm consumed by the sadness of the world, I still see beauty in the simple things.

The soothing touch of wind on my face while appreciating the view in front of me.

Looking up to see birds in the sky, flying in sync and unison.

Enjoying the peaceful quietness while sitting in the dark along with my thoughts and presence.

Sitting down and writing thoughts and poetry while busy people chatter.

Simply enjoying the calming feeling of hot water flowing down my body.

And best of all, at the end of the day, lying down to enjoy the simplicity in resting.
I'm feeling peaceful today. Anyways, I hope this was good for you, and that you're fine as well.

Nevermore
Existence, Nevermore.
From birth to the grave, fast or slow, it comes the same.
Nevermore.

Joy or despair, you lived a life, at the end of your road, as always, nevermore.

It does not rush, nor waste your time, it follows you slow and calm, until eventually, nevermore.

Memories flash, love and loss, a warm hug to go, then it fades, and next, nevermore.

Young or old, ready or not, it's okay, just a gentle sleep, rest well, nevermore.

What happens next?
Unknown.
Welcoming.
Peace for all.
Nevermore.
Poem for school, just wanted to share, enjoy.

Conflicting
Pain hurts, no?
Then why is this one comforting?
It helps keep myself in check, and stops from disappointing.

It hurts like hell, but I know no other.
It stuck with me through bad and good, while all the others smothered.

It stops me from getting mad and pointing the finger at others.
Instead I blame myself, and I'll kindly suffer.

It's my best friend, it never leaves my side.
Its everlasting, and it shows.
It doesn't even let me cry.

It's all I've ever known.
I couldn't love another.
Please don't take my pain away, and kindly let me suffer.
Nothing much to say right now, I hope this was a good read for you.

Fallen Down
I try.
I really do.
Nothing works.
Forgive me, will you?

I've loved.
It hurt.
Never again.
Care for me, will you?

I've tried to forget.
It always comes back.
Back to hurt me.
Protect me, will you?

I've hurt myself.
I many ways.
It helps me cope.
Stop me, will you?

I've tried smiling.
It never lasts.
I'm not happy.
Cheer me up, will you?

I can't breathe.
I can't live.
It hurts so much.
Help me, will you?
First poem, hope it's at least okay.
