Bristleless
Olivia Dec 2021
My hairbrush remains bristleless
Nothing to grasp my hair

The wind blows through it
Just as it does through me

I feel bristleless
I can't grasp anything

Love Fueled With Anger
Olivia Apr 2020
I love you, I love you
You love me
But do you really?

I hate you, I hate you
And you now forget me

Funny, Huh?
Olivia Mar 2020
Funny how I had my mind set on you,
Even when my mind was blue,


Funny that when I said we're through,
You tried to make me feel as though,
It was all my fault that we wouldn't do.

My mental health came before you,
I just didn't want to be blue,
anymore.

You Are The Sun

You are the sun,

I am the Earth

I revolve around you.

Sometimes I Feel Peaceful
Olivia Sep 2019
Sometimes I feel a little bit lonely
A little bit like the moon on a starless night
Like an owl alone in it's tree
Sometimes I feel a little bit sad
I look at the moon, and it's frowning face
And I wonder, 'why are you sad?'
But other times, I feel happy
Happy like a bee on a sunflower
Happy like an apple on a summer tree
Happy like the scent of cookies freshly baked
Happy like the laughter of children
But mostly, I feel peaceful

To somewhere we're all

No break

No more
"c a l m  d o w n s"
Somewhere

Somewhere I can be...

Take off, calm down, somewhere free, only ups, no downs, only me.

The Color of my Skies
Olivia Sep 2019
You changed the color of my skies
From the darkest blue
To the light blue color of my eyes

I could finally see,
I knew who I wanted to be
You let the sunlight in,

I felt forgiven for my sins
Until you were ripped from my grasp
Then the clouds rolled back in

Goodnight, Sweet Dreams
Olivia Sep 2019
Goodnight, sweet dreams
Try to keep my mind at ease
Open my mind
Let everyone inside
Why, oh why
Can't I do anything right?

Welcome to the mad house,
Sad thoughts, so more like sad house
Be careful, don't get too close,
You feel the tremors down to your toes
The cold feeling
Sweeping over your body
Dark room, no light
Such a plight
Goodnight, sweet dreams
Please put my mind at ease
I don't know, random thoughts that occasionally come to mind when I should be asleep but can't seem to.

Lovely
Olivia May 2019
I asked myself to love myself,
But the closest I got was far from that
I only learned to hate myself
The fear ate my insides,
The waves crashed against my brain
Washing away any good thoughts.
That seemed to flow in and out,
Like the tide pulling in, just to wash out.

You asked me to love myself,
I got closer than before,
I learned to love myself.
I learned my value and worth
I learned I can be lovely

You too, can be lovely

The Sea of Blue Eyes
Olivia May 2019
Blue eyes, they could drown you.

Dare look into them, you might see

What’s beneath the surface, too.

They look empty, and seem hard to be

Filled without the key

To unlock the dam that’s holding back the world’s ocean.

Time to set the tears of water free,

Set the waves into motion.

All is Lost, So Am I
Olivia May 2019
Santiago! Sarai shouts sharply
I barely hear her
The sound of the roaring waters of Niagara Falls
Muffles the sound of Sarai’s voice
I look up, trying to find the silhouette of her
But it’s too dark, the moon doesn’t shine bright enough
I slowly get up, pain shooting straight up my left leg
Ouch! I screech in agony, and immediately fall back down
Crash! My body collapses onto the ground
A sharp pain begins in my head,
My head starts to throb, I reach behind my head,
And feel a warm, thick substance ooze down my neck
Next thing I know, the lights go completely out

I wake up, shivering, my head still in great pain
I think hard as to how I got here on the rocks,
Next to a waterfall
It all comes back to me, the trip Sarai and I were enjoying,
Until we got lost, my foot slipped down the rocks
I flew off the rocks, hitting the ground, legs first
I try to view my surroundings, desperately looking for Sarai
It’s still so dark, I can barely see the trees as I walk
Sarai?! I shout, no words come back
My stomach begins to growl, my stomach gnawing at my own insides
I’m hungry, Sarai’s gone, I’m lost, it’s so cold and dark
I don’t know what to do, I feel hopeless
I stare through the canopies of the trees, straight at the stars
I close my eyes, imagine I’m with my Sarai and all is well
And come to the conclusion of,
I’m going to die
I’m going to die
I wrote this poem in my English class last week, we had to include something related to Niagra Falls, getting lost, and a charcter with the name of either Santiago or Ronald, I decided to change the second name, and stick with Santiago. This was a narrative poem, and I chose to make it about a man who gets lost after falling, and his wife goes missing.

— The End —
