Crying alone

Liana Nov 10

Crying alone

To return home
Alone in your bedroom
Where no one can see you
And to finally let yourself cry
Screaming silently into the night

At least the sky looks pretty today

Liana Dec 8

At least the sky looks pretty today

Well,
I may not have many friends,
Pick my skin until it can't stop to bleed
Have a father that makes me want to kick and scream
And have anxiety
But hey,
At least the sky looks pretty!

I was in the car talking to my mom today about life and kind of sad angering topics and then I saw the sky and said "the sky is pretty today" randomly.

Thank you

Liana Nov 6

Thank you

Dear, The thinkers, Dreamers, Poets, Artists, Passionate people, and Questioners

Thank you
Without you, the world would be nothing

From,
A strange stranger

You give the world life

I___

Liana Nov 28

I___

I cry
For fake characters in movies

I dream
Things that could never come true

I lie
To myself

I walk
To places only on the map of my mind

I jump
Into an invisible hole

And I miss
Things and people, when they're alive

A helpful note

Compliments

Liana Nov 17

Compliments

It means almost nothing to me when it is said someone loves my curly hair
It means almost nothing to me when people say they love my green eyes or anything else

The best compliment I have ever received is
"Liana, you're so weird, but in the very best way!"

What I had no decision in vs what I do

439 · Dec 10

If only

Liana Dec 10

If only

Friendless and strange
Hoping for change

Why can't I be like them?
It shouldn't be so hard
For them it comes naturally

Laughing
Hugging
Talking all day

I just watch with envy
Wishing I could be this way

(this note was written by a leaf that was stuck in air and couldn't fall)

Don't be reading this Faby

Liana Nov 30

Don't be reading this Faby

Dear Faby,

If you are reading this
I am very mad at you
You promised
You wouldn't look for me on here
I showed you some of my poetry
But all that I was willing to share
The rest is too personal
For your ears

I love you
My dear friend
But please don't continue reading
It's an invasion of my privacy

I showed my friend some poetry today, I made her promise she wouldn't look for me on here, but I feel she will.

Life

Liana Nov 3

Life

You’ve probably heard the saying “life is short”
I don't think so
It is the longest thing you will ever experience
If you're lucky enough
Life is
Sad
Happy
And long
I just hope mine is all of those

❤️❤️

Night of 11/22/24

Liana Nov 25

Night of 11/22/24

Cold and tired
But I'm covered and can't sleep
Sad and angry
But I won't let myself scream or weep

My Father Is A Light With No Dimmer (not in a good way)

Liana Dec 6

My Father Is A Light With No Dimmer (not in a good way)

He is a light
With no dimmer

He's either on
Very, very bright
Almost blinding

Or off
Depressed, out of control
Spreading his darkness wherever he goes

I long to install the dimmer
To have a sweet spot in the middle
But he's simply not built like that
Or maybe
He's too broken for it
And he can't be fixed

(This note was written by the person on the exact other side of the world from you)

First ever attempt at Haiku

Liana Nov 16

First ever attempt at Haiku

A blue jay perches
Watches the autumn leaves fall--
And stays there alone

I honestly didn't even know what a Haiku was (I knew it was a type of poem but nothing else)before this website. It's my first time trying, and it was really hard! I did my best, though it didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I decided to post it anyway.

I want a kind person to see me struggling

Liana Nov 10

I want a kind person to see me struggling

I want a kind person to see me struggling
Not by me showing them
But by simply observing
And care
And ask if they can help
Sometimes they can
And sometimes they can't
But that itself
Is enough for my heart

What's In their Eye

Liana 4d

What's In their Eye

Trying to tell
If the glimmer in their eye
Is the beginning of a tear
They are choking back,
Their wonder,
A yawn,
Or dust

(This note was written by the rainbow under the mud we never see because we don't want to get our hands *****)

Magic Isn't Real

Liana Nov 3

Magic Isn't Real

I want kids to stop needing to raise their parents
People say that would take magic
So people have to step up
Because even 5 year old me knew magic isn't real

Wasted Wishes

Liana Dec 14

Wasted Wishes

Blow the on the dandelion
I pick from the ground
Watch my wish fly away
Going everywhere
Landing all around

It's the same wish I've always had

I wish while I blow out birthday candles
On 11:11

So many wishes wasted
On an impossible thing
On an impossible person

I wish my wishes wouldn't be wasted
On you

In my drafts for a long time
Felt like it was missing something
Whatever

(this note was written by your older self giving you a hug and thinking how you have no idea what's to come)

Tonight

Liana Dec 3

Tonight

Its a rough night tonight
My head feels like it's exploding
My asthma won't let me breathe
Along with my anxiety

My thumbs hurt like hell
I feel much less when well
Nausea cause by none other than my thoughts
Just wanting to go to sleep

(This note was written by my friend Impending Doom while he was contemplating death)

Dermatoliomania

Liana 3d

Dermatoliomania

"why are you always bleeding?"

"Did you get in to a fight?"

"Who did this to you?"

"What happened?"

"Are you okay?"

I want to say:
"Dermatoliomania"

But I say
"Nothing
I'm okay"

They don't need to worry about me
I'm almost decent as can be...
Sometimes

For those who don't know it's a skin picking disorder. And no, I can't "just stop".

(This note was written by a laughing trombone because he's done crying)

Book characters

Liana Nov 5

Book characters

If only the characters I read about in books
Were actually alive

Oh how much more
Would I love this world

They just seem so much more-----relatable?
Whether this is because we are all the same and I get to see into their mind
Or because the authors are genius and they want me to love the characters
I don't know
I don't care
Bring them alive

Pencil Between My Teeth

Liana Dec 13

Pencil Between My Teeth

Depressed and angry at the world
I put a pencil between my teeth
My last resort
I hope with all I have
It will make me feel better

My mom once told me that the physical act of smiling could make you happy, and that putting a pencil between my teeth and not letting my lips touch it counts. Whenever I'm in kind of a bad moment like now I think of it. Sometimes I do it when I've tried everything else I can bare, like right now.

I Don't Want To Be Crazy Like Him

Liana Dec 7

I Don't Want To Be Crazy Like Him

What if I'm crazy too
What if I'm like him
And because of that
I don't realize I am

I mean
I know the tendency is genetic
And when you're sick
You don't even know it

He is a part of me
Either way
I had no choice
I was born that way

When I look in the mirror I see his eyes
And his nose
And his hair
I glare at them
A reminder that I'm stuck with him
no matter what I do he'll always be there

It makes me hate myself
When look and I see him in me

I don't want to look like him
I never want to make anyone feel the way he did to me
I don't want to be crazy and see the world blurry
I won't even know it if I am
Which is scary
Please don't also let me be crazy

(this note was written by a blueberry that was actually blue inside and not purple)

To Sleep

Am so tired all is wish to do is to sleep
Trying hard to sleep though deprived
To sleep is hard and I hate it so much
Sleep                                                 ,yes

That was supposed to look like a bed
Hope it resembles it

Spilt Milk

Liana Nov 2

Spilt Milk

You know when you spill water and get upset only to hear someone say, “it's just water!”
It doesn't matter, water, pineapple juice, or milk I'm still soaked and need to change
The fact that what I spilled happened to be water doesnt make me less clumsy
It doesn't make my fingers less sweaty
It doesn't make it okay
“It's just water” they say
I’d be just as clumsy holding milk in my hand
What would you say if I spilt milk?
But if I spilt water, it's okay
If shes my daughter, it's okay

This isn't about spilt milk

"It's okay, he's your dad!", "But he's still your dad!"

The fact that it's his daughter doesn't make it okay
IT IS NOT OKAY PEOPLE

Someone is suffering

Liana Nov 27

Someone is suffering

While I laugh
Someone is crying

While I dance
Someone just found out they lied

While I can't sleep on my bed
Someone wishes they had a blanket

While I eat
Someone starves

While I walk
Someone loses their parent

While I live
Someone dies

When I remember,
I wish them to feel better
I send them some of my momentary joy
Because maybe
That's how miracles are born

I feel bad that I'm the lucky one, so I do what I can even if it does nothing, and is just a small thought

Not one of my best 😬

To lay in bed

Liana Nov 2

To lay in bed

To lay in bed
The tiresome day you dread
You wonder what is wrong with your head

Trying countless things to rest
You don't even know what is making you stressed
Your mind is a pest

When to stop attempting the sleep?
To stop the doubting
To stop imagining the future

To lay on bed
All the thoughts taking over your head
When will this finally end?

Journey over the rainbow

Liana Dec 12

Journey over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
There's peace
I just need to find someone
Any kind person
To take the journey with me

In my drafts for a while

Suns

Liana Dec 6

Suns

We are all suns
In our solar system

Some suns are arrogant
Only caring about themselves
They exclaim
"I'm the biggest one!"

And some suns are kind
Hating some
But loving most
They exclaim
"We are all stars
We should all be one"

(This note was written by a magic hat that you can spread out into a large mat"

Sit on a tree stump and

Liana 4d

Sit on a tree stump and

I sit on a tree stump
And stare at the sky
Look at the stars
And reach out to mine

Music filling my heart
My jacket beside me
I like the uncomfortable cold

I wave at planes going by
They say "goodbye new jersey" in their waves
And I say back
"Goodbye"
They don't even know it

Shivering
Crying
Looking lost and strange to any stranger
Yet I feel so free

(This note was written by the ticket to the sun which sounds enchanting but will **** you)

Liana Dec 4

11:11

It's 11:11
I don't know what to wish for
So many things I want
But only 60 seconds to say them all

Anyways
I know they'll only be in vain

It's 11:11
And honestly
I'm really done with today
with yesterday
And tomorrow

It's 11:11
I don't know what to feel

My encounter with a squirrel

Liana Dec 10

My encounter with a squirrel

I went up to a squirrel
Such a stressed creature
I asked
"What's wrong?"
For some reason he didn't answer me

I don't really know

Don't Trust Your Reflection

Liana Nov 3

Don't Trust Your Reflection

Don't trust your reflection
The worst man alive might look and be deceived
He might see a hero who's done nothing wrong
An innocent man in and out

Don't trust your reflection
A beautiful girl might look and see a beast
She might see her eyes being crooked
Her body looking too wide yet too thin
An ugly monster outside and in

Don't trust your reflection
It likes to lie
It rips away at your insides
It shows you what you already fear
And makes you feel stupid and weird

Don't trust your reflection
It could break you
It could make you
It could take you to a world where you are better

That evil man will never know all the wrong he did
The girl will never know her beauty

Don't trust your reflection
When you see someone in the mirror
Ask them to define “me”
Then tell them what you see
And do t hide the truth
Don't try to plase especially

Don't trust your reflection
It warps to what the world likes to believe

Don't trust you reflection
Don't even trust me

Feedback appreciated ❤️

Bad

Liana Dec 8

Bad

There's no way I can describe this feeling
Except for bad

Some may call it
Depressed
Sad
Angry
Unmotivated
Overwhelmed
Anxious

Unfortunately, there's no word for all of the above
So yeah, bad
I hate to feel bad

(This note was written the color that matches your soul)

People

Liana Nov 3

People

They're your friends
Until you need them
They want to make a meense
But not admit they are wrong
They'll help you
Until you need help
They claim they're all equal
But they discriminate
They say that they’re fine
But they are far from it
They can love you
But still hurt you
They can earn your trust
Just to steal from you
They can say that they discipline you
When they are harming you
They can say that they love themselves
When the love pours down their arms
They can look confident
But cry at their reflection
They can be your friend
And lie to you
They can claim they want peace
But start to **** one another
They can try to help each other
But hurt each other in the end

They are terrible
beautiful
confusing
complex
Loving
and hating

They are people

Feedback appreciated ❤️

And sob through them

Because

Because

Because the world is round
the wind is high
And the sky is blue
I cry

Sometimes we cry just because

A nice moment

Liana Nov 29

A nice moment

Sitting on my cozy chair
With my blanket
And on top it it
My cat

It's the first time
I've ever used the fireplace
Since we moved to this house
It's wonderful
I wish to have a fire every night

If only
My mind would be as calm as the fire
And as bright

A good note that solved all the problems of the world

173 · Nov 22

But I remember

Liana Nov 22

But I remember

I know that you see things
As the remix
Or maybe the movie version
That instead of all the good parts getting left out
It's the bad ones
You don't remember any of it
And you caused it
And I remember all of it
It's engraved in my head
I can't pick it off
Like I pick off my skin
I can't ignore it
Like I can't sleep
And I can't pretend it's okay
Like it wasn't abuse
Yes
You didn't beat me
But you still bruised me
And whenever I move
I ache

171 · Dec 2

While

Liana Dec 2

While

While I'm here
Lying in bed
Shivering from the cold of night
And writing with all my might
I hear the noises from outside

Motorcycles roaring
Large groups if people laughing
Random fireworks launching
And planes soaring

They're doing things
Being alive and awake
While I try to sleep
And to calm down
They run around

I wish I would be out there
Running too
But I have to lie here
Cold and anxious
And just hear you

This note was written by the villain of my dream

Terrible Realization

Liana 6d

Terrible Realization

Going about the day
Tiresome or exhilarating the same
Becomes unbearable
When the knowledge
Breaks the window to your head
That you have school tomorrow
You don't get write, read, walk, or create all day
You just sit there
Listening to and then discarding useless information

D(r)ead.

School could be replaced with work if you've passed those days

Basically every Sunday

(This note was written by the stone that broke the window to my head who didn't want to be an accessory to the crime)

Life

Life

You’ve probably heard the saying “life is short”
I don't think so
It is the longest thing you will ever
experience
It just passes quickly
If you're lucky enough
Life is
Sad
Happy
And long
I just hope mine is all of those

What a Weird Dream #1

Liana Nov 3

What a Weird Dream #1

I wake up in the morning
I go downstairs
I wonder
Why is no one there?
I check every room
Call out my mother's name
Only to find out it was in vain
I put on my shoes and run outside
The streets are empty
There is no one to find
At first I go back home
And I start to cry
I can't even find my dog
She's my comfort in hard times

Soon
I realize
I can do anything now
Still a melancholy day
I cry and cry
But for the first time ever
I also drive
I eat all the sweets I want
And I realize I can fly

I drive
Fly
Eat
And with the the guilt of doing that
I cry

Then I wake up in the morning to my mom telling me to hurry up
I sigh in relief
What a weird dream that was

Real dream I had years ago
I still think of it to this day

People are like leaves

Liana Nov 8

People are like leaves

People are like leaves
Some have been stepped on
And some have just fallen
Some have been taken by a child and cherished
And some left on the bottom of the leaf pile
Forgotten

People are like leaves
So different from each other
Some older
Some younger
Different shapes and sizes
Colors mixed together

People are like leaves
Some are misshapen and not picked up
And some are declared beautiful and get straightened in a book

Was walking listening to music today and this thought came to mind

Death and dying

Liana Nov 7

Death and dying

To live
Is to eventually die

This is temporary
Everything is temporary

They say, "this will be over soon, it doesn't matter" for things sometimes
If that's true
It also applies to life

You will die
And the world will keep on going

Everyone you know
Will die
And the world will keep going

Someone is dying right now
And we keep living

Is it normal
That I feel guilty?

Death is crazy to think about

Watching The Window And The Night

Liana Nov 30

Watching The Window And The Night

I look out the window
Of my room
I see the dark night sky
Houses with people making memories inside
Tress
poles of light

I wonder
How many other people
Are like me
Looking outside
Just watching time go by
Maybe they're thinking
And wondering
The same thing
As I

Who else is looking at the same sky I am at this moment? What are they thinking about?
