Real You
No one knows the real you
Because that person is forever in your head
I dont think they ever come out

Fake Bliss
Looking for you
What else can I do
My heart is still lost
But its paid the cost
Of trusting your cover
And until I discover
More pain to numb this
I'll hold on to fake bliss

Dancing Alone
The only time it truly isnt about how I look,
But how I feel
Dancing alone, except for your favorite songs, moving however your body wants to. No matter who are, try it. I dont care if youve never danced a single move before, because trust me. It truly feels amazing....I fall in love with dancing all over again after doing it alone

Broken
Ive always been
Broken.
But,
I thought we're all whole
Before we break.
Lies
Ive always been
Broken.

Life Goes On
The glass broke
Like my voice when I spoke
When my head insisted
But my heart persisted
But life goes on
Ill be "ok" by dawn

Happier
Time has passed
Since I was last here
And I wonder,
Is it because
Im happier now?

Inside My Mind
If you could get inside my mind,
Youd look for something deep, dark, and dangerous
But I,
I would just look for hope

Know Me
What I love about us is,
I want to know you
And you want to know me
a rare thing for me, especially in friendships

Grandpa
The love for you Ive always had,
Left me the same time you did
But the regretful thoughts never will
To my Grandpa, whom I never got to know...I wish I had taken the chance, because Ill never get it again. Happy Birthday

Pick Me Up When I Fall

Not put me there in the first place

Embarrassed
Why do I feel embarrassed,
That no one has the heart to hold me?

Why do I feel embarrassed,
That no one has the guts to save me?

Why do I feel embarrassed,
That no one has a mind that can see me?
You know the self consciousness and embarrassment you feel when youre all alone and lonely?

Weighed Down By Loneliness
I sit alone
Silent
Weighed down by loneliness

They sit side by side
Not silent for a moment
Bearing the heaviness of the each others troubles
the sad truth of the lunch room...

Break
Hope wants you to be happy,
But Reality wont let it break you
you know that voice in your head, letting you believe? That is Hope.And that feeling that is telling you otherwise? Reality.

Some Days
There are some days
You should just be able to feel
It in the air
Today is one of them
there arent many days like this, so make sure not to waste it.

Here I Am
Gone I am
Into the past
Where memories haunt

Gone I am
Into the future
Where possibilities fly

Here I am
In the present
Where I must survive

Someone
If even the lonely among you have someone,
Then where do I stand?

Why?
Ive seen death
I am dying inside
Ive seen chaos
I am lost in it
Ive seen destruction
I lead the way
But I will never see,
Why...

The Warning
HEARTBREAK

BETRAYAL

PAIN

I see the warning everywhere
But I can ignore them, because,

To have my heart broken
Means for it to have been whole

To feel betrayed
Means to have trusted

To be buried in pain
Means to have been above it at one point

Tragedy broke Love's heart
And Loneliness was born

Silenced by my pen

Loneliness

The icy storm
My burning loneliness
Will keep me warm

So Lost
I didnt know
How deep I was
Until you found
A piece of me
So lost
Even I didnt know
It existed

This Place
Finding this place
Helped me see
The world differently
Finding this place
Forced me to find
A hole in my heart and mind
Finding this place
Connected me with
All of you and your words
Finding this place
Let me know
I am not alone
Hello Poetry did what no one else ever could for me...

My 100th published poem here!
I wish I could disappear
Into the knowing words
Of the pages I flip through
Because I dont belong in this world
Not when there could be
One like yours out there

Tonight
I want to live
I want to dance
I want to sing
But I want you by my side
I need you by my side
I want to see the world
But I want to see it with you
And through your eyes
But you are gone
So far away
Too far away
And nothing I can do or say
Will ever end this pain
Inspired after reading All The Bright Places. What a brilliant and heart-breaking book...

Inside My Head
You dont know
Whats going on
Inside my head
You dont understand
Whats going on
Inside my head
You dont see
Who I really am
Is stuck
Inside my head

Hello Poetry

Lost Forever
Your phone is full
Of messages from me
And somehow
You never see?
My trust is earned
Its never been free
You deceived and betrayed
And stole the key
Kept it away
Even after my plea
Now I watch as you throw it
Into the sea
Lost forever
Just like me

My Mind #2
Leave me in a
Quiet
Empty
Lonely
Dark
Room
Its okay
Because my mind will never leave me alone
Inside it's
Blasting
Crammed
Diverse
Shining

My Mind
I can never seem
To control my mind
That is why
If you hear me mumble
"Shut Up."
Ignore me
Im not talking to you
Im talking to my thoughts
Nov 2020 · 77
Thoughts
Hurtling around in my mind
Knowledge I can only sense
Passing by in an instant of wisdom
Things that I will never really know
I know before I really understand
Or do I understand before I really know?

Cannot Keep Up
My hands
Too slow to write
Cannot keep up with my thoughts
My lips
Too slow to speak
Cannot keep up with my thoughts
My mind
Too slow to understand
Cannot keep up with my thoughts
If I myself cannot keep up with my thoughts,
Why should you?

Key to My Lock
I thought you were the key
That opened my **** lock
The one to set me free
After the turns on the clock
But soon I will see
What a sadly small shock
You not knowing me
Sent through me like a knock
maybe you still can be?
Nov 2020 · 78
Take Another Look
You think you know me
Take another look
The mask I wear
Is now falling free
I can still try and hide
But the truth will forever follow me
To my grave
And I hope
To yours too

Every Last Word
These walls heard
me when no
one else could.

They gave my
words a home,
kept them safe.

Cheered, cried, listened.
Changed my life
for the better.

It wasn't enough.
But they heard
every last word.
This poem is not written by me. It is from the book, "Every Last Word", by Tamara Ireland Stone. I really recommend this book to anyone who comes across this poem.

why...?
You
      Are
            Talking
                        To
    ­                        Me

I want to reply

My
     Mind
             Makes
                        A
                           Plea

But my mouth stays dry

My Heart's Concerns
It stings
It burns
My heart's concerns

Words for me
Or so it seems

Now I know
I won't let go
Of the love youve shown
And broken pieces youve sewn

Slip
I always hold on tight
But somehow
You manage to slip through
Like water down a cliff
Like sand through cracks
Like hope through my heart

Diamonds Behold

A Puzzle I Am
A puzzle I am
You wont figure me out
A puzzle I am
You will not find all my pieces
A puzzle I am
You wont put me back together
A puzzle I am
You see the broken, tattered pieces
A puzzle I am
You did never solve

Glass
Dont treat me like glass
Because you think Im fragile
Treat me like glass
Because I am beautiful but breakable

Tell Me
The way your eyes light up
When you recall
The days of the past
Leave a growing ache in my soul
For those days are not only the time you long for
But also the time
I was not in your life
How can you tell me
You miss those days
But also tell me
You miss me
can it be both?

Running
Every step I make
I fly a little
Each breath I take
The wind blows away
My mind filled with ache
Catches up to my thoughts
For my own sake
Leave me alone for a while
