Mornings are hard

having to find some kind of motivation or hope to even get myself out of bed,
and then thinking about the day ahead knowing that it will be just like any other

//

nights are harder

Stuck with thoughts flooding my mind,
Wanting to just curl up into a ball of silence but then when that silence comes, its deafening.
Lu Feb 2018
with eyes of pure gold

you melted hearts

like they were nothing
Lu Mar 2018
sometimes I find myself bursting with laughter
.
dancing in circles
.
filled with spirit


but then
sometimes everything flips

and I feel like i'm not even here anymore
.
I feel alone in the most crowded streets
.
I feel lost
Oh
Lu Jan 2018
Oh
Your tears
Are what I fear

Because knowing that I hurt you
Makes my whole body afraid
Lu Jan 2018
I wonder

if we'll meet

...

at a place

where everything is perfectly alined

just for us

,

just for what we could become

...

both our sparks

bright in a world of dark

shining with no hesitation
,
with no restraint
Lu Jan 2018
and like every flower

i was only picked

to be placed

in a glass bottle

to look pretty
Lu Dec 2017
I was my own poison

Ruined by society
crushed by depression

Everyone I loved, slipped away into a different world
Everything I believed, got ripped from my mind

Soon the lights were gone
I was left out in the cold

But then came the demons
they took me to a place of safety

I let them take over

But I saw to late,
the destruction they caused

and soon I was nothing at all.
Lu Aug 2018
oh dear friend,

treat me kindly

love me softly

- act as if i am a flower


and please

realise i am in pain
Lu Oct 2018
help me;

I feel so broken and completely numb.

I've forgotten what it is like to feel happy

to feel normal...

to feel anything but utterly empty
Lu Jan 2018
It tears through me

ripping me apart
inch by inch

,

like a bullet hitting flesh

...

when you know it will break you but you let it happen anyway
Lu Dec 2017
You'll be left wondering whether her presence has changed you

whether it has changed the way you see the stars glimmering in the sky

or the way you hear every goodbye
This is just some short little poem that popped into my head so I thought I would share it.
Lu Jan 2018
societies harsh ways
corrupting the mind
...
spreading like the plague

will it ever be overcome
,
will it ever be controlled

how influential can it be

saying this
doing that

eating away at self confidence and consciousness

ruining anyone who dares to challenge it
or anyone who dares to go another way

when will the human race wake up and realise the soul crushing devastation it has caused

will we ever be aware that it has taken lives
...
that it has taken peoples humanity and crushed it so easily
Lu Nov 2018
****

my heart broke
when you told me that you tried to take you life

you'r so pure and delicate
the world doesn't deserve you

no one does
Lu Dec 2017
He was silent
consumed by the rhythm of music

His eyes were full of passion


He had this idea that he was inlove
but the girl he was falling for didn't feel the same

His emotion controlled him

He pushed everyone else out of the way
to try and catch her

but each time,
she would slip away

When he finally broke
no one was there to catch his pieces

so he fell
harder than before

and when he wasn't there anymore

she noticed his silence
and fell in love
Lu Jan 2018
i saw you
:
you saw me


and there was

the beginning

of a painful love story
Lu Jan 2018
Each morning we plaster on another face

and each minute outside our homes
it starts to brake

slowly rupturing
:
pieces falling from the sides
again and again
:
but when we return again that night
whats left of that face,
brakes away
and our skin begins to crack

so we look away
and instead
ignore all our imperfections and flaws
as they come tumbling out

we don't dare to even glance
because seeing means feeling and accepting
so
we live in fear of them
and
we hope that they'll disappear

but they never will if we fight them
and only recently
i realised this

so i wore my face

confident and clear
:
my true face

and decided that i will not hide myself any longer

i decided to be free

:
and throughout this
i learnt
we have to love our flaws
and cherish our imperfections
instead of making them non existent

as hard as it may be
we must do it
for our own good
Lu Jan 2018
i'll linger

in the sun haze that sits upon the dust brushed flowers


i'll drift

through the glimmering water that flows so carelessly

...

will you

fly with the wind out to open skies

,

dance with the trees as they bend and sway

...

or will you stay

and live on

in this mediocre life

,

will you stay

and follow rules

with no second thought


it's up to you

be free
in a world of unique

or be a someone
in a world of billions
Lu Aug 2018
Life is everything and nothing all at once.

Eventually we fade, and all that we were, is gone.

and yes, maybe i am scared because the future seems so non existent and i won't be here to see what happens to this world.

...

I'm scared to let go of my life knowing that i wont be able to look up at the stars as they shine, or swim in the ocean and feel the water guide me, or smell the flowers that grow out in my grandma's garden.
Lu Feb 2018
tonight

i snuck out of my house

and i watched

from the driveway

as the stars

above me

shined so brightly
Lu Jun 2018
Please,
don't let go -

Your heart will heal ; you will heal
Lu Dec 2018
your validation and acceptance means nothing to me
Lu Feb 2018
everything just seems to fall apart

when what you need most in the world

is for it to stay together
Lu Apr 2018
We worry so much about things,
that in the end don't matter

and through this

we miss what it's like to truly live
.
we miss what it's like to feel careless
.

we miss
life's
most beautiful
moments
Lu Mar 2018
its crazy that we never know how much light someone brings into our world until they are gone

until we are left in the dark
Lu Jul 2018
I painted an empty grey sky

with tears falling from its eyes
Lu Dec 2018
our lives our pointless.

everything we do, everything we are, just becomes nothing

we wont be remembered

what we do wont be remembered

this world of ours will soon be gone and we will just have been a  fraction of a tiny speck in its exsistence
Lu Oct 2018
my mental state is worsening

my life in general is starting to get better

so
how can I possibly enjoy my time if I'm constantly battling my inner self
Lu Sep 2018
and just like the moon

you had a side
that you never let anyone see

even though

it was

in every way

as beautiful
as the other
Lu Feb 2018
with each tear
that falls down my cheek

comes another reason
not to stay
Lu Jan 2019
life is to complicated to express
Lu Oct 2018
I am feeling a lack of creativity today...
Lu Feb 2018
your the stars to my night sky
Lu Oct 2018
being broken isn't something I want to be
Lu Dec 2018
you are the reason I feel the best I've ever felt,
but your also the one that makes me feel the most pain
Lu Oct 2018
he told me

"the world is a dangerous place
...
but the mind is an even more dangerous one"

stuck in the doorway between life and death
Lu Jan 2019
I know that you will break my heart but I'm to naive to leave
Lu Sep 2018
Caged in her own two ribs

she became a prisoner

so deprived of hope she’d forgotten how to fight

her wings so tightly bound by starving skin

she began to remember
what it felt like to be free
-
a flickering glimpse of what life could be
makes her wonder
whether she still has something
within that could let her go
Lu Dec 2017
I deprive myself from the world outside my window
because i know the truth that no one else can seem to see

The truth about the world when everything's asleep

when the sun has gone and the stars take place
Lu Mar 2019
I don't want to be alive unless she's with me
Lu Oct 2018
the dull haze of my lamp lit the roof just enough for me to see myself silhouetted across the wall.
I look at this dark, soulless shadow and think about life and death

and how it has never really made sense to me.

how can a human, a soul, something that was once living, all of a sudden be gone from the face of the earth.
Lu Oct 2018
I seem to always find myself staring at a white wall as the moons light shines through my window and 'the night we met' by Lord Huron plays on loop in the background amongst the silence
Lu Oct 2018
i feel like an ant,

finding its way through a world to big for its little lost body
Lu Feb 2018
you are the moon

on a dark night

shining

to guide all who need it
Lu Jan 2018
i wished you were an illusion

a faded memory

a fallen photo

i wished you were
anything other than the reason for my numbness
Lu Oct 2018
I feel like I have a pit in my chest that is getting deeper and deeper
Lu Dec 2018
I try not to think about you

your absence echoes through my mind
Lu Sep 2018
silence surrounds my world
Lu Apr 2018
some moments are so strong
.
they feel like waves
that knock you off your feet
