I'm an ever changing,
Shapeshifter.

An extroverted,
Introvert.

Selfish,
But i care too much.

Egotistical,
But I cant stand myself.

An *******,
But I'm chivalrous.

I'll be a chameleon.

For you,
I'd change my skin.

I'll be anything you want.

Because I know,
You hate it when I'm myself.

A poem from a fractured mind.
No word, no phrase I know—
can truly explain who you are.

In a world of countless stars and skies,
you alone are my guiding star.

Even if I journey the whole wide Earth,
my weary eyes will always come to rest—
on you, and only you.
We live daily -
  each time we choose hope over hurt,
  each time we begin again
  with every breath living a dream

  Death?
  It knocks just once-
  a final hush,
  a curtain call.

  But life -
  life is a myriad scenes
  a million sighs
  and infinite awakenings
  
  So, live and just Live.
  for dying is brief -
  but living is where eternity quietly hides....

six days left to live
and it's getting hard to find
anything left to give
anything left inside
there is no life in these hollow bones
no place i can call my home
i am alone
i am alone

Deep within me
I have a wish and
I pray that it may
Someday come true,
I wish every boy I meet
Is just like you,
Handsome,
With every feature
Perfectly shaped and wonderful,
I wish he has your smile
And that twinkle in your eye,
I wish his voice
Is as lovely as yours
When he talks
And pleasing to the eye
When he walks,
I wish he has the power
To make me smile
The way you do
When I look in your eyes,
‘Cause even from a distance
Boy, you make a girl blush,

I wish I could feel
The warmth in your hands,
And see my face reflected
In your lens,
I wish I could come
Closer to your ear
And whisper to you
Words a boy like you
Should hear,
I wish I could take
Long walks in the township,
Hold you by the hand
And answer your every question
I wish every boy I meet
is just like you
I wish every song I hear
Reminds me of you,
****! I wish
You were that song
In my life,

I wish I knew you so well

I wish I did
I wish you were my man.
haha something i rarely write about. Boys. 😅

i want to fall asleep
under a sky full of stars
out at waypoint, nobody knows where you are
nobody awake for miles around
nothing but the sweet, lulling sound
of crickets and tall grass in the breeze
and that's where i want to fall asleep
that's where i want to quietly bleed
across the gravel, head tipped to the sky one last time
and maybe this time i won't cry
maybe this time i can finally die

"I'm tired," I say,
"That's all."
And in a way, I guess it's true.
In every other way,
It's a lie.

Tonight you ask me
What depression feels like.
I think, then tell you
That it's sort of like
Slowly clicking up a roller coaster hill,
Waiting and waiting to peak,
But never reaching the top.

You seem confused
But don't ask anything else.
Soon enough you're gossiping about
How that girl we know got pregnant.
You don't understand that
I am still climbing that godforsaken hill.

People call me heartless,
Robotic.
I wonder if they realize
How difficult it is to function
When you're not sure if you even exist.

And here I am,
Dodging your politely, forcefully concerned gaze,
As you ask me what's wrong.
"I'm tired," I say,
"That's all."

I wish I could explain depression to you
Once again and scream about
How I wish I could feel anything.
Do you really want to know what depression is like?
Depression is like having a disinterested corpse
Skillfully stowed in the shell of my body.

"You seem so sad lately.
Can't you at least pretend to care?"
Oh, honey, if you only knew.
You ramble on about this and that,
But I'm no longer listening.
You could dig for centuries
And never strike my dying core.

And THAT, my innocent, naive fool,
Is what depression feels like.
day was alright today, just tryna get by.

No sé cuántos años han pasado,
y te sigo pensando.
Sal de mi cabeza, por favor,
déjame volver a respirar el oxígeno.
O mejor no... quiero seguir acá, estancado, pensándote,
recordando y buscándote.

En otra vida estuviste acá,
y me hacías reír.
Estábamos juntos y nada importaba.
Pero en esta no pasó.

Estoy solo, y como siempre,
escuchando las bandas,
escuchando canciones,
escuchando artistas
que expresan lo que siento ahorita.

Y ruego a algo "superior",
por volverte a ver.
Y si llegas a volver acá,
yo me mataré

porque tú olvidarás,
y tendrás otra vida.
Te veré feliz, y eso me dolerá,
y estaré con el mundo en llamas.

Algún día te dejaré,
puede ser de pensar,
incluso de buscar,
pero estaré muerto.

Algún día dejaré de escribir,
pero sería el fin de mis poemas.
Por alguna razón te necesito todavía,
y algún día te dejaré ir.

Si el mundo está en llamas,
aparecerás tú,
y solo podré quebrarme en llanto,
y ni siquiera sabrás quién soy.

No importa nada,
la esperanza seguirá,
y tú no estarás,
pero sí en mi memoria.

¿Seguiremos siendo los mismos?
Yo pienso que no.
Solo soy un extraño para ti.
Ojalá me recordaras...

Te extraño.
Por favor,
vuelve.

Maybe it’s time I disappear,
Maybe then things will become clear.

Nobody cares and I know it well,
Maybe this is my permanent Hell.

I’m done reaching out,
I’m done with the doubt,
All I want to do is scream and shout.

Maybe it’s time to depart,
Maybe it’s time for a fresh start.
Where nobody knows me and I can be free,
Because my mind is on a killing spree.

Killing my confidence and killing my hopes,
Maybe it’s time I hang up some ropes.

I’m tired of feeling like I don’t matter,
Got me feeling crazy like the Mad Hatter.

Maybe it’s time for my body to expire,
But my mind is nothing but gunfire.
Firing at my positive dreams,
Tearing me apart at the seams.

This is it, it’s time to retire,
This is it, I’m going in the fire.

I’m already decaying,
My demons they’re preying.
My soul is paying,
And I’m done praying.

It’s time I disappear,
I’m tired of the tears I shed.
Maybe I’ll give a cheer,
When I’m finally dead.
Itching and scratching,
I crave your touch.

Minds but a jumble of thoughts,
Your soft voice calms me.

I gasp for air,
Only you would share your breath.

All food became bland,
Ever since I acquired your taste.

Overthinking,
Drenched with sweat.
Hyperventilating.
Without you,
I'm burdened with stress.

Nicotine doesn't do it for me,
Ever since I became addicted to you.
