Poet, be not afraid.
There are far worse things than
Bad poetry.

Keep writing; like a child keeps
Drawing with the purest of
Disregards to likeness.

The more stones you turn, the more
Gems you produce.

The more ink you rain,
The more gracious your written
Children grow.

All flexing builds muscle.

Rough bricks form castles.

Even Dalì carved canvases to shreds
And started anew
Not caring too much.
Not caring

Too much
To keep painting.
I can fake my identity and try to look happy,
but its all just a cover.
Take a swig from the flask and remove the last mask
only to find another.

There was once a time when I knew myself,
but now I'm not so sure.
All semblance of self-worth lay eroding in the dirt,
and its all thanks to her.

It's not really her fault, I'm truly to blame.
I grew selfish out of fear.
Afraid of being alone, I couldn't let her go
and now she's nowhere near.
A quick freestyle that I did.
You stab me in the back with a knife,
and I apologize for bleeding on it.

Shadows

Shadows tend to keep your secrets
they don’t shine light on your path
they don’t share your pain
they don’t lift up your spirit
they don’t seek your companionship
they don’t support your dreams
they don’t give you advice
they don’t balance your extremes
they just keep your secrets

Shadows can’t replace your family and friends
they can only keep your secrets
for my ******* brother

"Your hands are meant to hold."
That's always what you told me,
But you never said by who.

I've tried so many hands,
Linking them with my own,
Like trying to find,
That one **** puzzle piece,
That always gets lost in the pile.

I thought I found that missing piece,
That hand to fit perfectly in my own.
But apparently I wasn't his missing puzzle piece,
Because he left me there,
Standing,
Crying in the dark.

I stopped looking for that piece.

But then you come along,
With that face no one knows,
Yet everyone knows your name.
A phantom to the eye,
Yet not to the ear.
With your electric personality.

You take my hands in yours,
Intertwine our fingers,
Making me feel worlds away from the hurt I was just in.

You knew from that day,
When you talked about my hands,
You knew that the only place they would truly fit,
Was your own.
Am I allowed to be jealous?
Am I allowed to be sad?
You're always what I've wanted
Turns out, she's your better half
Shy girl
Hiding behind
Thick lenses
Dark frames

Shy girl
Hiding behind
Thick books
Long pages

A boy
Across the room
Fruitful glances
Stuttered glances

The boy
Across the room
Likes her back
Why am I thinking falling
Don't allow these to hit the heart
Because if feeling are what I have
Then I'm *******
I wish to be the ***** this time
I wish to be distant and not replay to your texts
I don't want you, you look so perfect
I don't want you but I love your smile
I don't want you I don't want to fall in love with you but this time ill allow you to fall first
#met a guy#dating him #i don't know why

It's gone back
To the distance
And the feelings I once had.

I'm used to these feelings
But for a few moments
I felt so high.

How is it that the emotion
That I always felt
Is bothering me now?

I shouldn't feel locked up like this.
I feel as though it's worse now
Because you've left me stranded again.

I feel as though the pain
Is ten times more hurtful
Than it was before.

I want you to embrace me like you once did.
I want you to shelter my heart with yours.
I want to go back to the spark that made me smile.

Why did you leave again?
Why did you abandon me?
I'm so afraid.

I feel that I had much less fear
When I was a little girl.
I had no fear in love.

I had no fear in emotions
And no fear in pain.
I openly expressed those things.

I was confident and well behaved.
Now it's different.
I fear love every day.

I fear the emotions that ooze through me.
And every single day,
I experience pain. Not just mentally, but physically as well.

I wish I could go back to those times
When I was just a little girl
And I was so easily living life.

I miss my childhood every day.
I miss your touch every day.
I miss you every day.
