Celebrations
Ophelia Apr 2019
Each year
We get a little older
Some might say
"More mature"
"More grown"
"Bigger"
But that's not it
We celebrate so much now
This day seems normal
The biggest day of our lives
Our Birthdays
Seem normal
We party to much
and care too little
We celebrate
getting closer to death
almost meeting death
and finally
meeting death
So much celebration for one day
Today's my birthday so as I thought about the meaning of birthdays I came up with this, sorry its a bit sloppy but its a quick free write. Hope ya'll enjoy it!

Until It's all Fine
Ophelia Jun 2019
Until its all fine
I'll sit in silence and die
and when you decide to come back
maybe it won't as bad
Until its all fine
I'll just try not to cry
and when you see me
Please don't worry
Until it's all fine
I'll say I'm alright
Until all the pains all gone
I'll hide it all like I've done before
Until it's all fine
You won't see my cryin
Cause I'll try to hide the pain
Until it's all fine
I'll act like I'm blind
So I don't see the pain
Until it's all fine
Sorry this is a mess... :/

Fine
Ophelia May 2019
Blood drips from our eyes
as we cry
But we say we're okay
"it's fine"
But we lie
People believe what they want to
So they believe we're not dead inside
We cry harder but keep saying
"it's fine"
"I'm fine"
But it's not fine
and we'll keep this secret for the rest of our lives

Self lies
Ophelia Sep 2019
With tears in her eyes she said
"I'm fine"
As she broke more
she said
"I'm fine"
She grabbed the tape and tried to fix herself
And as she cried she screamed
"I'm fine"
But she knew it was a lie
And as the tears fell from her eyes
She realized, she was no longer
fine

Disappointment
Ophelia Apr 2019
We wake up
For disappointment
We fall asleep
From disappointment
The world is full of pain
of tears
of hateful things

Used to...
Ophelia Mar 2019
I used to smile
I used to laugh
And
I used to love
Now the only thing I feel is pain
I can't smile
I can't laugh
But I can cry
And
I'm ready to give up
I'm ready to let it all go
Why...? They ask but never listen
Why...? You don't really care
Why...? Because I've been through bad times
I've been to hell and back
Now
I can't stand anymore
But
It doesn't matter
Because
No one sees my suffering
So no one can help
I'm not as experienced as the rest of people here, and I've been looking for feedback on my writing. This isn't my best work so I would love fedback.

Behind our masks
Ophelia Oct 2019
Behind our masks
Who no one knows
Is where our true selves go
Behind our masks
Is where our tears fall fast
Where the sun doesn’t shine
Behind our masks

Each Night
Ophelia Sep 2019
Each night
she cried
and feared herself
Each night
she worried
and felt empty
But Each morning
she woke up
with a smile
Each morning
she pulled herself together
Until
She couldn't
and Each morning was like Each night
hopeless

Somewhere in a child's home
Ophelia Apr 2019
Somewhere in a child's home
The children are scared
The parents are arguing
And the family is crying
Because daddy just got another drink
The smell of alcohol is common
The trash full of bottles
Somewhere in a child's home
Mommy just ran out crying
Because she could not handle it anymore
But she forgets her kids
Somewhere in a child's home
The house is too small
The family is too big
But somewhere in a child's home across town
The children are scared they won't be invited to a party
The parents are arguing about who's better
And the family is crying tears of joy
Somewhere in a child's home, every home is different

Its all a luxury
Ophelia Jun 2019
Why are the things we need most a "luxury"
What we need shouldn't be a present
Cars that are good for our world?
A luxury
Biodegradable everyday tools?
Luxury
Feminine products?
Luxury
We talk of saving the world
But make the tools hard to get
Its expensive
Its a luxury
Its hard to save our world if we can't afford the tools
I know this is a mess but I've been thinking about this for a while and needed to say it

Reach a point
Ophelia Nov 2019
You reach a point
Where you look at yourself and give up
Where you realize that everything feels like nothing
And that there is no point
You realize that nothing is fine
But you act like it is
You reach a point where you’re ready to give up
Ready to leave
To disappear
To say goodbye

Remind me
Ophelia Dec 2019
I hate that everyday you remind me of my shame
Remind me of who I'm not meant to be
Remind why i shouldn’t stay

I hate that I’m still here
And
I hate that I’ve survived

“Well maybe I can go another day and I’ll be fine”
It's what I tell myself
“I’ll be fine”
“Your strong”
But then I look in the mirror and I see exactly what's wrong
I see that I’m broken
I’m not fine
I’m not okay
I can’t handle this pain
Going through it everyday
It hurts me in more ways than I can say
And I really don’t know why I’m still here
Or what this is about
All I know is I’m broken
And I don't deserve this help
I don't deserve this love
I don't deserve anyone

And I don’t know where to go
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know what to say
But it hurts everyday too

I hear it in my voice and see it in my eyes
But no one can tell because I’ve gotten good at the element of surprise
I’ve gotten good at hiding it everyday

But no one looks at me the same
Because maybe they know I’m broken
But they don’t know what to do
And they can’t help me at all  
Because I’m ******* over to

The Pain
Ophelia Apr 2019
Feeling this pain
It doesn't hurt anymore
Because I've felt it too long
Feeling this pain
It lasts forever
Never lets me go
Because I've had it too long
Feeling this pain
Is an everyday thing
Nothing new
Because it's always here
Sorry about this poem, I can tell its a bit of a downer but I'm a realists poem writer. I feel like this poem doesn't flow smoothly so any notes and pointers would be appreciated!

Make me wonder
Ophelia Sep 2019
You make me wonder
make me think
If I am worth enough
If I matter
You make me wonder
If I belong

Feeling everything
Ophelia Sep 2019
Its hard
to feel everything
for everyone
all the pain
from all the people
Its hard
to feel everyone's pain
I'll never understand

Dreams
Ophelia Mar 2021
It's crazy how dreams turn into nightmares
How quickly our view can change
Like
I used to dream of being 6ft tall
Now I dream of being 6ft under
So
It's crazy how dreams turn into nightmares
How quickly our view can change

What I Want
Ophelia Jun 2020
I want to run away
I want to hide away at least one day
I want someone to look at me and
I want someone to say “you’re not okay”
I want someone to tell me its fine
To feel these things inside my mind

The Ping
Ophelia Apr 2020
I watch the phone
Hoping your name will pop up
Waiting for the “ping”

After what felt like hours I heard it
Loud and clear

I jumped to the phone
But it wasn’t your ping

So I sit here watching the phone
Waiting for you

Tears=Raindrops
Ophelia Jan 2020
Tears
Are like
Raindrops
They start slow
Then pour out fast
Always uncontrollable
Why is there no warning to
A mental storm? Why do tears
Fall randomly? With no reason?
Tears Are like Raindrops Everyday
You never know how hard they’ll
Fall. Or how fast they’ll become
All you know is you’re hurt
And you can’t save
Yourself

— The End —
