One Shot
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I've got to say this right because I've only got one shot
I smile most of the time
But no one knows that it's just a lie
I wear black
the color of my soul
Self confidence is what I lack
My heart is what you stole
And I'll never get it back
What's up with that?

Self Harm
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I'm so full of self hate
I've attempted suicide.
When they asked me about my cuts
All I did was lie.
Blamed it on the cat
Said that he's just a brat
They believed me for a little while
Then they realized I carried a fake smile
When the cuts got deeper
I got sleepier
Could never really sleep
So then I would cut deep
I loved the sight of my blood
It's my drug
This a story about my life in poetry form. Hope you enjoy.

Why
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Why
What's the meaning of life?
Why are we here?
What do dreams mean?
Why are they there?
Why do we cry?
Why do we sing?
Why do we feel?
Why do we hurt?
But most importantly,
Why are there so many questions left unanswered?
It's sad to say not every gets their answers
Thanks for all the likes. I am very thankful. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Maybe
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Maybe we feel empty because we left pieces of ourselves in everything we used to love, and maybe we feel sad because love is deceiving. Maybe we feel broken because the things that used to fix us are broken as well, and maybe we cry because there are so many questions left unanswered. Maybe we hurt because someone has to feel the pain. Maybe, just maybe.
Hope you like it.

Life is Beautiful
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
In the morning when you open your eyes
Say hello to the birds and butterflies
Smell the fresh air and gaze at the beautiful sky
Listen to the crickets and watch the sunrise
Because life is short but it's a beautiful thing.
I wrote this one on a day when I was actually happy. That doesn't happen very often.

A Heart Deferred
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
What happens to a heart deferred?
Does it burst like a bubble?
Or crumble like sand?
And then fall out of your hand.
Does it crack like sidewalk?
Or crumple like paper?
Maybe it just fades away.
Like a stormy day.
Or does it simply burst like a bubble?
I wrote this poem in 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it.
