Northern lights
Gwendelyn Acosta Apr 2021
Up in the sky,
bright as a candle in the night
Different colors they turn
Everyone enjoys the sight.

Pinks and purples
Green and blue
Up in the mountains
appears so very cool

The stars and the waves
what a sight we get to see
the magnificence of these lights
more beautiful than any can be

The stars in the sky
They listen to the music
With the swishes of the waves
As they start to dance to it

It greets us with its dance
Perfectly in sync
Showing us it's harmony
Makes us not want to blink

It smiles and shines
Like a rainbow without the sun and rain
The aurora is an ocean in the night
A phenomenon to be explained

My promise
Gwendelyn Acosta Sep 2020
Hello, Love of my life,
the one i dream of each night,
If there was ever a time I broke your heart,
I put it on my life i wont do it again

I've said "I love you" countless times
but as they say"you cant make people believe one truth when you have a mouthful of lies"
You see the good in me when i couldn't see the good in myself
This caused me to think negatively and wronged you
I'm sorry..

I know you love me for who i am and even with the wrongs you loved me still
and i will always love u from the moon and back for still trusting me all this timer
For this i shall not wrong you again
I promise..

My heart
Gwendelyn Acosta Jul 2020
My heart is strong-
It’s been thru pain, broken and has been betrayed
But yet it still beats on..

As the years go by..
Gwendelyn Acosta Jul 2020
One years old I’m a baby in a crib laughing and crying
My skin is clear no cuts or scrapes
I’m perfectly happy

A few years pass and I’m only 5
My life turns into a mess
I fall a lot and I am being yelled at for things I didn’t do

More years pass of screaming and yelling
I’m like 8 years old
I have scratches and scrapes and bruises and scars
I even needed stitches

Im 10 years old
I’ve been bullied and jumped and tortured and harassed
But no one notices it

I’m 15 years old now and life is horrible
I’m thinking about the bad in life
And am hurt mentally and physically
I have all the scars from my past years

I just wanna give up
My life has been a waste although I’m still young
I mean I have good friends that care about me
but idk anymore...
...Idk what to do about myself...

what’s wrong with me..
I hurt people without meaning to
I try to help people but never succeed
I constantly try to make this right
but it goes wrong
I don’t know what to think
I don’t know what to feel
but now...
I can’t do a lot without crying..
My singing turns to tears..
and I can’t look people in the eyes..
I’m just the worst..and no one can tell me otherwise..

What I think about you
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
my thoughts about you
are very kind
ur my bestie
and I only say that to a very few

your kindhearted and sweet
But sometimes a ******
that won’t change
how I see u tho

Ur long hair is both soft
and easy to braid
And I can’t wait to braid it
again someday

Although we can’t be as close
as we were before
I hope you know u will always be
my bestie forever more

Strangers to sisters
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
We started out as strangers
Then we found out we have so much in common

Soon enough we grew closer and became friends
Now we have spoke of the basic stuff a friend should know

Then one day you was sad
So I became a shoulder for you to cry on and a person with open arms
Just in case you needed a hug
From there we became friends with benefits

We became so close we talked about other personal life
We told each other that we will always be together
I think of her as the Best bestie I could have

We talked and laughed and joked around with each other
Until one thing made us unbreakable
When I finally was able to help you
And called u my sis

Now we can’t break apart no matter who gets in our way
I know she has my back and she knows I have hers

Except for the fact
That you are still not here with me

Love and hate
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
To hate someone that used to be a friend is one thing

But to hate someone you loved dearly

Is very painful

....
love is not something you can just throw away
Once you loved someone with all your heart
It’s hard to get rid of that feeling

Being angry is hurts my face
being sad wastes my tears
Telling someone something to make them happy
when it doesn’t help wastes my time
People caring for me when I get hurt is aggravating

So instead of straining my brain, I’ll just tell them what they wanna hear
I’ll fake a smile and say I’m ok so they won’t know I’m sad
I’ll laugh at their jokes even when their not funny
And I’ll do the least amount of things just so I don’t have to let out my feelings

Or maybe I’ll just stay silent in a corner
And refuse to talk to people

Lies&truth

Lies are completely useless
When everyone already knows the truth

Friendship is never truly over

You just have to learn to forgive even when you don’t want to

Silence...
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
It makes people wonder
It makes people think
Something that people tell me
Is that it’s not ok to stay quiet

Staying silent and keeping your thoughts in cause pain
That’s why suicide ends up being a thought

I don’t like speaking to people
So I keep all my problems in
But keeping in all my life problems hurt me
Whether it’s literally or emotionally

Silence is both good and bad
It could help stop accidents
But it can also cause anger

That’s why I don’t wanna choose
between talking and silence
I’ll just stay silent
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
We met one day
And we became so close

We loved each other
more than life itself
I loved u and called u my sis

But my stupidity ruined it
We drifted apart
Till we were nothing
But strangers again

Friends-
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
People ask..
What is a real friend?

Well a real friend is someone who will be there for you..
They will be there as a shoulder to cry on
Or as someone to let their feelings out to and not be judged

A real friend will never put you down..
They won’t say anything hurtful purposefully
Or judge you based on what you act or look like

A real friend will be able to defend you and protect you
Whether it’s physically or emotionally

A real friend is someone you can trust to have your back and be your helping hand in tough times.

If you can’t be any of these, then your not a real friend 😎

Without you
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
You are like the music in my life
You are what makes my life have rhythm
Without you I’d be off beat

You are like the light in my darkest days
When I was down u would help me up
Without you my life would be nothing but darkness

You are what I am here for
And without you, I’d have no reason to stay

“stupid”

But they don’t realize that
Maybe they are just not trying to be smart

Life and games
Gwendelyn Acosta Jun 2020
Life is like a game
Growing up is your levels
The obstacles are the challenges you have to complete
If you decide to just give up
Then how will you ever win

Chances
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
Roses are black
The sky is empty
You asked for another chance
But I’ve gave you plenty

So why don’t u leave me alone
Go about ur life
Try to find someone else
who would listen to your lies
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
If people heard my thoughts
They’d want to leave

If people heard my thoughts
They wouldn’t be my friend

If people heard my thoughts
They would know the truth

And that is what I fear the most

Life
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
Pain is what tells you that you’ve had enough

Sadness is what says that something isn’t right

Fear tells you what to be aware of

It’s a part of life

Whether u want it there or not

My love for you
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
Roses are red
The grass is green
I know exactly
how much u love me

“I love you, my love”
Is what u tell me each night
I believe no one can separate us
Cause our bond is tight
May 2020 · 86
Unnoticed
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
I realized..

That no one notices me
My sadness
My pain
Or anything I do right

The only times they do notice me
Is when they need something
Or if I do something wrong or humiliating

Me or her
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
If you had two people to choose on who you loved
Pick her
Because you wouldn’t need to ask which
If you really loved me

L.O.V.E
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
Love is something everyone needs

Opportunity to find someone who loves you for who u are

Venture into the heart of people to find who is right for you

Everyone deserves to be loved no matter the background of him/her


Love isn't something that is handed out
It’s earned

Some people may have “lost the right” of love because of something they did
But they should be loved for who they are and what they’ve become
Whether it’s good or bad
May 2020 · 92
Trust
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
When people tell you things that is personal
That is a sign of trust

When they tell you something personal
That’s like saying, “I trust you”

But if you go ahead and tell someone else
That person looks like a fool

Because they trusted you
May 2020 · 75
Reality
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
Some people question life
They ask questions like:

“What is the point of life?”
“Why was I even born?”

Or they say:

“I didn’t ask to be put on this earth or be born at all”
“Reality is cruel”

Well to answer your questions
The point of life is to give you a sense of direction, it is not life making you who you are, it’s the way you present yourself and how you make reality to be

But never forgetting that there will be obstacles and things that put you down.

Just know that when you get to those points, make sure your able to have enough strength to bring ur self up and keep moving forward.
Be who you are and don’t let anyone put u down

The harshness of love
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
All love seems good at first..
But it’s kinda like a failed curse
I should be one to talk
Cause I usually watch my crush like a hawk

People can’t take rejection
They just can’t see that the person who they should love most is in their reflection
relationships mostly have dead ends
Sometimes maybe leads death
But I am just here to say
No matter what I’ll be here each time
To talk to you thru night and day.

Hidden feelings
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
When you see me, what do you see?

Someone who has a smile on their face and you assume I am happy
Someone who makes you laugh although I don’t do anything funny
Someone who is short and incapable of doing big things
Someone who says I’m fine all the time so you believe it

Well I have come to say something

I have a smile on my face to hide the sadness in my mind
You laugh at me cause I’m bad at everything
I’m short but I’ve lasted through lots of big things although most times it hurts me
I might say I’m fine but inside I’m not

A smile on someone’s face doesn’t determine if the person is happy
Some people smile to hide their other emotions
Some people say “I’m fine” to hide the fact that they are hurting

So instead of focusing on what you hear and see
Try to find if that person has other things they aren’t saying
Don’t force it
Just be there and tell them that if they need anyone that your there
Be their friend
Be truthful and they will be able to open up

Me without you
Gwendelyn Acosta May 2020
Me without you is like a heart without it’s beat

Me without you is like a flower when it dies in winter

Me without you is like a pencil without a tip

Me without you is like a face without a smile

Without you, I don’t know what to think
All I know is that I have to move on
Cause you wouldn’t want me to be sad
But I know that you wouldn’t leave me to be alone
Cause even when you go away
I’m left with my precious moments with you

— The End —
