Who are wE?

Am I just a wheel?
Consuming meals?
A speck in blue sea?
Bound by what I see?
Life amongst trees?
Breathing means free?

Am I my beliefs?
The truth I seek?
Flag of a country?
Defined by currency?
A liability?
Part of society?

Am I what you see?
The way you judge me?
The values you pick?
First impressions stick?
Norm defined by you?
Do I dare to be rude?

No...

I am who I choose.
I fill my own shoes.
I win when I lose.
I create my own views.
I see black beyond blue.
I pick me over you.

Who are we?
I am me.
Who are we?
Depends on you.

I see you crying there again.
To yourself in the corner.
With no friends here for you.
I tried to walk up and introduce my name.
But you brushed me away,
trying to hide.
All your mysteries.
Why the secrecy?
I must know exactly whats going on.

I never thought I would have caught your attention!
The way your eyes had met mine.
I want you to know Im here.
I want you to know I'll be there.
Even if you try to hide.
All your mysteries.
Why the secrecy?
I must know exactly what's going on.
Who hurt You?
Why does friendliness frighten you?
who hurt you?
Why open up then close me out.
Who hurt You?
Im not trying to complicate anything.
Who hurt You?
Please just let me give you some tenderness.
For those who have been hurt so much by different people everyone seems fake to you and you lose all hope. Don't worry, I understand.

Whether you fall in love with a poem or not
greatly depends on how you read it.

It's only a matter of time until all that you've known is tainted by shadows
It's only a matter of time until all that you've loved becomes shrouded in darkness
It's only a matter of time until all that you've been given is taken away
It's only a matter of time until all that you've built comes crashing down
And you're left to pick up the pieces

Dear 4 am,
Legend says when you can't sleep that you're awake in someone else's dreams. So I don't know if that's my problem, or if it's my restless thoughts. So maybe you're the source of my insomnia, or maybe I'm my own problem.

Sincerely,
Me

there are two sides of you.
youdisplay
dilated eyes full of
intense admiration.
soft skin that glows like
a stars collision.
but they do not know
you cover up your blemishes.
your lips curve upwards;
red,
like the blood you bleed with.

there are two sides of you.
youhideaway
a wary heart broken like
the bonds you dream of.
a head full of pain dominated by
the ones you needed.
your sore and useless limbs;
you know you let them in.
an empty mind full of dead ends;
you know you let them win.

I have swam in the depths of vulnerability,
Gulped the naiveté of exposure
I have held out these quivering hands of mine squeezing my heart so hard, it bled onto the floor in front of you

I now find myself silenced
Zipping my lips and throwing away the key

I once saw the turbulent waters deep inside of me
When I dive into myself now, I find drought instead

Empty smiles with words like "joy" dripping from my lips

Blue eyes that felt endless and raged with fire now fill with watery silver that have tricked you into feeling warm

I have a habit of seeming open
As if I am translucent and you can read what's written across my heart


I have always been too much and not enough
I just don't know how to be truly vulnerable anymore
