Unknown
They called him
A problem child.

"Failure"
"Disappointment"
"Good for Nothing"

And so these words
Stuck with him
Formed his identity
Shaped his character.

Until one day
He couldn't take it anymore
So he jumped off a building
And all his problems
Seemed to vanish.

Monsters

I am no longer blind to the monsters in this world
I used to think monsters hid in your closet
Or under your bed
But I was young and blind
I see the monsters for who they are now
They don’t hide under your closet
They aren’t waiting under your bed
They are human
The real monsters are us
We are a plague

She looks
Like daisy chains and sand castles.
She sounds
Like the jingle of an ice cream truck.
She tastes
Like ice cold lemonade.
She smells
Like soft grass and soil.
She feels
Like sunshine on an endless summer day.
Is it so impossible
That by drinking her love,
I can stay young forever?

I’m afraid of heights
not because I fear falling
but because I fear jumping.

You are not
On my side now.
Listening to the song
You sang me every night
Even when you aren't.

And I can't say
I am Alive
As you are not my side.

I wait till the dark
Overtakes the time.
Thinking you are on your way
Humming this song,
I lay
On your bed side,
Staring at this moonlight.
Smiling a bit and,
Walk on your way.

So will you come,
When you can't.
And will you stay,
When you could.

I am running,
To defeat your light.
To forever be,
On your side.

So Darlin Run and,
I am waiting for the sun.
Laying on your bed,
To find you when I turn.

I  h*te  that you've learned that
you can't make someone stay...

Because I want to feel
your hand reaching out for mine,
even when I'm falling down & apart walking away...

In the end they will all leave
When they all said they would stay.
Every goodbye changes me ,
Eventually I move on
and our time together becomes a memory.
I constantly live in the nostalgia
of our time together.
i cannot go on without acknowledging the friendships & relationships I once cherished.
I
am forever changed.
Um so I’m not sure if this is really poetry kinda just venting but my 2 year anniversary for my suicide attempt just pasted and I wanted to acknowledge the people that were there during that time but also left .. might put out something else tonight but I’m not sure … ok bye
