Follow me
Follow them

Follow this

Fall for her
But not for me

Fall for him
But not for me

Round and round the cycle goes
People only liking people
For show

Family?
Raven Feb 2019
Your name to me is dad
Or father
But thats not how it feels in reality

I dont want to call you that
And it physically hurts me to
Because of all you've put me though

My pain stems from you
My tears stem from you
My heartbreaks stem from you

Every broken part of me is because of you

You touched me one night
And stole my innocence

You hit me one time
And stole my confidence

You shame me for the friends i make
Just because of race
Or maybe because they arent strong
Arent smart
They aren't good enough to you

And by doing that you make me afraid to hang out with them
Because if i do
Im afraid

Im afriad you'll hate on them
Or maybe ryu will

Im afraid you'll call me stupid
Or *******
Or any other thing
Just because they dont fit your standards

You make me afriad
Not of others
But of you
And i have a good reason to be

So no
You are no longer father
You are no longer my dad

You are no longer my family
You're just a name in the wind

Wonder Why
Raven Dec 2018
I wonder why schools teach us past
Not present

They teach us old
Rarely new

They never ask us what we want to do
They dont base what they teach
On who we want to be

They teach us the things they 'think' we need
All the while disregarding who we are
Individually

They base our grades on how much we pay attention
But if you're like me
Too creative to follow standards
Too creative to be the same as every other person
Your mind won't focus
It'll wander

I wonder why we have to all be the same
Why we have to 'fit in'
In order
To be noticed
In order
To be "cool"

The world is teaching us that in order to succeed
We must be the same
As every other person before us

But I will not live by society's teachings

Lost You
Raven Apr 2018
I thought that I would lose myself before I lost you
But I was wrong

One night I accidentally pushed you too far and your demons claimed you
They took your soul and they took your heart and they damaged you one last night

I thought that I would lose myself before I lost you
But I was wrong

For you are now gone and I have lost a part of me along with you

Why
Raven Apr 2018
Why
Why did you touch me that first night?
When I was wrapped up in sweet memories

Why did you lure me into the hot steam of a shower and show me you loved me in a way that's not right?

Why when I became distant, faded, and lost did you demand me to hug you because you were at a loss without the sweet relief of my pale skin?

Why when it started did I believe it was okay? That it was normal and I shouldn't worry enough to tell

Why when I became scarred in more ways than one did you yell at me? Was it because my sweet skin was no longer clear and soft? Was it because you only loved me because you could touch me and now the skin that you liked to touch had become rough and undelightful?

Why do you continue to poison their minds with lies?
And try to tell me you didn't do anything wrong when we both know you did

Why did you touch me so many times and expect me to never leave you behind?

You never loved me
You loved the sweet relief you got from touching my skin and soul

Every Kiss
Raven Apr 2018
Every kiss is different

There's the sweet kind
It's tender and loving

There's the desperate kind that begs for more and is never satisfied

There's the longing kind
It longs for more and it's lingering

There's the kind that's full of love
It's tender and sweet and doesn't beg for more

Every kiss is different
But be careful
If you ever come across a desperate or forceful kiss
Flee the scene and never look back

Observe
Raven Apr 2018
I observe
I don't approach

I observe the way you talk

I observe the way you use gestures

I observe the way you walk

I observe the things you do when you have a crush

I observe the way you act towards the people you like

I observe the way you act when you're in love

I observe until I can understand when you're nervous
Until I know when you are happy
Until I know when you're mad
Until I know when you're sad
Until I know when you feel lonely

I observe until there's nothing left to learn
I do it so I can fit it and so I know how not to make a mistake

I have now done it so much I know how someones feeling even when they don't say a thing

Contradictory
Raven Aug 2021
I feel as though I'm empty
And as if my feelings will overflow

I feel as though I love you
And as if I cant feel at all

I feel as though I want to try
And as if I've given up on life

I feel as though I want to see you smile
And as if I want to erase it from my mind

I feel as though you made me happy
And as if you broke me apart

I feel as though I feel too much
And as if I don't feel at all

I feel as though I want to be alone
And as if I never want to let you go

I cantradict myself
And my feelings when it comes to you
But also when it comes to me

I wish to not feel this way
As you dont feel this way for me

What If I?
Raven Jul 2018
What if I kissed you?
Would you kiss me back?
Or push me away?

What if I hugged you and held you near?
Would you pull me closer?
Or hold me at a distance?

What if I wanted to call you mine?
Would you call me yours?
Or walk away?

Puppy
Raven Dec 2018
Theres something about you
Theres something there
That's just
Different

When you hugged me I felt like I was meant to be there
I felt like I belonged
Theres just something right about you

When you looked me in the eye I felt safe
I felt like I no longer had to worry
Theres just something right about you

When you kissed me I felt free
I felt like I could stay like that forever
Theres just something right about you

Theres just something
Something that tells me yes
Its telling my heart
Its telling my mind
And its telling my soul
Its saying yes
And theres no doubt in me that you're the right one
The one I was meant to go through the pain for
The one I was meant to meet

But
That scares me
So hopefully
I don't push you away

Hold Me Close
Raven Jul 2018
Hold me close
Keep me safe

Wrap your arms around my shoulders
Wrap your arms around my waist

Hold my hand
Pull me close

Make silly jokes
And make me smile

For when I smile for you
My smile is true
And when I see your smile on your face
All my fears and doubts
Are erased

The Lies of Love
Raven Apr 2018
You told me you loved me

You said you loved me more than I loved you

You told me you didn't know what you would do without me

Then you left me
Because I was no longer good enough

You left me to cry
You left me feeling like I wanted to die

You left me worse off then you said you'd be without me

So next time someone tells me they love me more
Don't be surprised when I don't cry when you leave

Used
Raven Aug 2018
I get used
In many ways

I get used for touch
I get used for lust

I get used for comfort
I get used for my love

I get used
Day by day

And no one cares
How broken
I'm becoming

Because
Why would anyone care
About a toy?

Don't tell me
I'm not a toy

Because if I wasn't
Why am I treated like one?

Honestly
Tell me why

I don't want to be used
To be a toy

I want someone to hold me
Cause they wanna keep me safe
Not cause they want comfort
Not cause they feel lonely and want someone to hold

I want someone to kiss me
Because they can't resist
And cause they wanna make me happy
Not cause they want pleasure
Not cause they want more from it

I want someone to hold my hand
Because they want to
Because maybe they like making me feel safe
Not because I like them and they don't wanna be rude
Not because they feel bad for me
Because of my past

I want someone
To love me
And all my broken peices
And not be pretending

Lurking Underneath
Raven Apr 2018
Everyone always says
"See the forest for the trees."
But no one ever says
"But be careful of what might be lurking underneath."

So the monsters have gone unnoticed and have started to attack by entering our minds and making us lack any feeling of our own

Deep down we know
But we still venture where we shouldn't go

This poem
Raven Apr 2018
Dizzy with anxiety
Sick with fear

You cry tears of faded dreams
You cut with forgotten wishes

Memories fade as new fears invade

You swallow the poison in your words as they burn your throat

You choke on broken faith

You throw up bad memories in a pile at your side then hide them in blankets of false hope

This poem is beautiful yet destructive
Jut like you

The Watcher
Raven Oct 2019
You watch
And you wait

You wait for an opportunity to strike
But not through eyes of your own

You watch and you wait through the eyes of others
And of cameras conveniently placed

You watch and you wait behind false walls of safety
For you fear the actuality of potentially being caught

So you flee the front lines and watch from afar
Through the eyes of others watching in fall

You wait for me to falter
To waver
To crack
But I won't let it show

I won't show that I'm always on edge
Waiting for eyes to be following me
Across the ledge of privacy

I won't show that I'm afraid
To step away from this home
Where even in safety I feel scared and alone

I won't show that my heart breaks Whenever someone tells me they'll try
To do something to you

For I know they cant
And they may never be free if they try
Because deep down
I know
That you wont hesitate to hurt
Maybe even to ****

Even though I may
Waver
Falter
Then break

I wont show it for when I do it'll be
My own silent escape

Mason
Raven Apr 2018
Their smile could light up a room

Their laugh can drown out my thoughts

Their eyes see me for who I am not who I pretend to be

Their hands are as soft as silk

The way they walk
The way they talk
The way they look at me
The way they act has me entranced

But I shouldn't love them because they are taken

Never A Home
Raven Apr 2018
Only a house
Never a home

When someone tells you, you have a lot of people
But you still feel so alone because you've only ever had a house
Never a home

When someone tells you they love you but you still feel worthless because you've only ever had a house
Never a home

Only a house
Never a home

Surrounded
But alone

Loved
But worthless

Cared for
But self reliant

Only a house
Never a home

Eventually forgotten
Eventually gone

Senses
Raven Apr 2018
Look a little deeper
Look a little harder
Then maybe one day you will see how broken this world
has come to be

Smell the air around
Breath in all scents
Maybe one day you will smell the sour smell or rotting
souls

Touch the world around you
Feel the cracks and bumps
Then maybe one day you will feel how broken she's
become

Listen to the world and the people around
Then maybe you will hear all the people screaming
for help
And maybe you will start to hear the minds of the
restless

Taste the bitter sweet flavor of sorrow
Taste all the blood in the air from all the battles
against ones self
Then maybe one day you will taste your tears
as you cry

Escape Reality
Raven Feb 2022
Can I please
Just eacape reality for a day
As I lay on the floor
Drowning in music
And every memory of before

Let me escape reality
As I bleed out
Behind a closed door
And fade away

Let me escape reality
As I burn myself
And stare at the flame
Mesmorized by how I made it
Through the day

Let me escape reality
As I bite myself
As I have no other way
To feel the pain

I want to fade away
From reality

I want to watch the blood
Drip down my arm
My thigh
Or any other place
Shy of view

I want to watch the flame
As it turns my skin white
And burns the thoughts away

I want to watch the bruise
Form on my skin
When I bite myself
And it splits apart from within

When I harm myself in many ways
I can escape reality

When I watch the blood
It mesmerizes me
With the way it flows

When I feel the burn
It soothes me deep within
As the only thing I can think of
Is now the pain
And not the painful
Memories

When I bite myself
My thoughts numb and dissappear
As I dissociate
From reality

Music isn't loud enough anymore
I can't write enough poems
Your cuddles make me insecure
And drawing is too much effort for me to cope

How you used to
Look at me

When I remember
The last words
You said to me

I cant breath
When I remember
How you threw me away
Without a care in the world

I cant breath
When I remember
All the times
You didn't want me

I
CANT
BREATH

Please
Just set me free

I dont wanna live with
These memories anymore

I dont wanna suffer
Every night
When I remember
Exactly how your touch
Felt

I cant handed it
NOT ANYMORE

Please
Just let me go
Set me free
From all the memories

Fear Love
Raven Apr 2018
Love and fear

People use them in the same sentence
In the same story
In the same instance a lot

They could almost be referred to as synonyms

Why are they used so often the same?
This is a question many may ask

This is my answer

It's because you have to go through the fear of loss
You have to go through the fear of abandonment
You have to be rejected then found

You have to get over the fear of being forgotten to experience the freedom
To experience the passion
That comes with true love

All I have to say is don't give into the fear
Give it up

Leave my heart
You're tearing it apart
And you sit right in the middle
Taking down the walls
One for every two I build

Leave my thoughts
Because you occupy every one
And if you stay I'm gonna hurt someone
But I think I already have

Leave me please
Because I can't bear my feelings
But even if you do I might not be able to

I don't want you to go
But you hurt me

I don't want you to go
But you use me

I don't want you to go
But this is unhealthy

So as much as I love you

Please just leave me

And don't return
When you miss me

His Eyes
Raven Apr 2018
His eyes flicker with fear when you reach a hand out
But you don't notice

His eyes flicker with worry when you hang with other guys
But you don't notice

His eyes show love when you smile his way
But you don't notice

His eyes are peaceful when you hug him
But they are also showing a paralyzing fear
You still don't notice though

You make him feel peaceful when no one else does and your laugh erases his fears
But you don't notice

His stormy grey eyes and gentle hugs make you feel wanted and worth something
But this isn't a love story

For her demons consumed her one night and now shes gone
And he never noticed her pain for she was a master of deception

Look At Me
Raven Jan 2019
Look at me
No
That's not what I mean
I mean really
Look at me and see that when you look me in the eye
All there is are forbidden tears
Look at me without long sleeves
Then maybe you'll see the harm I do
See
Don't just look

Because you seem to think I'm fine
And you ignore all the pathetic lies
You ignore me because

"I'm fine :)"

But what does I'm fine really mean?
It means I'm begging someone to care
I'm begging for love
But I can't say that
I can't show that
Because if I do

"All you want is attention"

But no
I want genuine
I'm sick of fake
I'm sick of people seeing how bad my arms now are
And just saying

"I'm sorry"

Like that helps
But it doesn't
Because I'm sick of pity

All I want is someone to hold me
Without saying a word

She walks the halls with a mysterious pride
Yet she has no friends

So where does it come from?

Her mom always works so she's mostly left alone
So where does it come from?

You wouldn't understand
But that's her goal

She's mysteriously captivating

Loved It
Raven Aug 2021
I love the time I spend with you
It makes me want to do better
And it makes me want to try
And do things on my own
With you watching
And guiding

I loved cuddling under the bridge
Watching as it rained
And dripped a bit on us

I loved kissing you that first time
It made my heart melt
And made me feel warm inside

I loved when you played with my hair
You did it with such care
When I never even asked you

I love when you stare at me
It makes me feel shy
And a little pretty

I love when you rub my arm
And my back
It makes me feel comfortable
And safe in your arms

I love laughing with you
It makes me feel free
And mostly at ease

I love making you smile
It makes my heart warm
And makes me feel worth it

I love your hair with all its floof
Its cute when it gets in the way
And I have to move it to kiss
All the sadness away

I love the way you make me feel
As if maybe I can keep going
And finally be real with someone
Without having to worry

I love when I get to hold you close
It makes me feel wanted
And like you're okay with me wanting you

I love when you laugh
At all the small things I do
Even when I have to just wonder why

I love seeing the way you feel
When I look you in the eye
Because I know it's not bad
And I don't have to worry

I love all the smiles you bring to my face
It takes only a small amount of effort
Of just being you

Overthinking
Raven Aug 2020
Reading in the night
With just a lil bit of light

I start to think
Is it really my that he likes?

Or is the person in the book
Who seems very much like me
Right?

Is she right when she wonders
If it's just who
He seemed to first be

Because things seem to be fading
Much more than growing
And that's not something I can bare

So tell me
Is it me you like?

Or did you like my first presence
That shone much more bright?

And I can't get you off my mind
No matter what I do

I want you to hold me and never let me go
I want you to love me and make sure I know
I want you to kiss me like the minute I go you'll miss me
And I want you to know

When you hold me my heart beats twice as fast
And I want you to know

When you kiss me I want it to forever last
And I want you to know

You make me forget my past
Because finally atlast
I found my future

I found you

Nightly Ritual
Raven Aug 2021
Every night I flee
I flee the place most would call home
For to me the place is just a house

Every night I escape
I escape into my mind
While music follows close behind

Every night I drown
I drown in every feeling I've ever felt
In the feeling of unconsensual hands
Brought on by the memories in my mind

Every night I go outside
Into the dark as it holds me tight
Closer and safer then any person
Has ever felt

I can be me
I can be free
But thats honestly
Scary

I think of all the times I said no
And the times I couldnt speak

I think of all the times no ones listened to me
But then they treat me like I never said a thing
And I become a problem

I scream in my mind
Feeling left behind

I claw at desperate feelings
Of the smallest sliver of happy

I crave the warmth and safety
That I felt in your arms
The arms that are no longer mine
But still hold me close from time to time

I fade from reality as I wish to escape to a place
With no more pain

But I dont want to die
For I fear to be alone

I dont want to die knowing I always had to be on my own
Except for those short 2 years
With you.

I wait for the day I'll be in your arms and you in mine

I wait for the day I can officially declare you real

I wait for the day I can tell you I love you with more than just a thought

Every day I wait
And every night I cry

I wait for the day I don't have to wait any longer

Zeke
Raven Apr 2018
To me he's the stars
He adds brightness to my life

He's the moon

He's the light when all I see is dark

He's the rainbow after the rain

He's the sun on a cloudy day

He's like a storm

His mood can change in a flash

He can be happy
He can be sad
He can be mad

He can be annoyed
Jealous
Hurt
Lonely
And so much more
And like a storm he can feel all of those in just one day

He can be like a storm
But he can also be like snowfall on Christmas day

He can make you feel emotions you can't explain
And he can be peaceful

But he can also make you feel like you're drowning if he decides you're not the one

His love is like a stormy ocean
It's fun to be on
But once it gets rough
It can tear you apart

If you survive the storm though it can be lovely
But it can all change in a flask
Like it never even happened

When he looks at me with those soft eyes of his I melt and I just wanna curl up into his arms
And tell him to never let me go

When he holds my hand it's like suddenly there's electricity coursing through me
And I start to shake
So I feel the need to let go
Before my emotions get out of control

When his lips that feel indescribably soft touch mine
Everything around me just dissapears
And all my fears
Bad thoughts
And doubt dissapear
Like they weren't there to begin with

When the word "I love you" leave his lips it's like the soft sound of light rain on the roof
That soothes you to sleep at night

You'd make him go away

May have happened
To you

And whispering
For you
To please
Say no

Even if
Its a lie
I'd rather you say no
Then have to live with knowing
That it happened

AGAIN

Because it seems as though
These things
Like to follow me
Wherever I go

So if I make myself look sick
Look hurt
Look unappealing
Will you leave me alone?
Will you leave me be?

I dont want to feel this way
So strongly again

So please

Some people **** in the dark

Some people steal in the dark

But the dark is still my home
Why?
Because no one can see me break down in the dark
Because when everyone else abandoned me
The dark held me in it's arms

Because even though people hurt me in the dark
It was still there for me more than anyone or anything else

So the dark is my home

Way Up High
Raven Apr 2018
Way up high he sits
Looking all around
Searching for a way to make all that's lost be found

Way up high she sits
Looking down upon the ground
Pairing the shattered with the mended or whole

Way up high they sit
Looking up into the sky
Wishing to be higher
Wishing to be found

Looking Down
Raven Apr 2018
She sits up high and looks at everything yet to come

He sits down low and looks up at his past

She sees him
And he sees her

He is her future
But she is his past

As If
Raven Jun 2020
It's only been about a week
But I can already tell
That I'm falling for you

When you look me in the eye
My stomach fills with butterflies

When you hold my hand
I feel safe
And as if
I never wanna let go

When you pull me close
I feel warm
And as if
I want to hold your heart
Close to mine forever

When I hear your voice
My face flushes with excitement
And I feel as if
I want you to never stop talking

When you play the bass
I get lost in thought
And I feel as if
I could stay right there forever

When you comfort me
I feel understood
And I feel as if
I could tell you anything

I know it's only been
About a week

But my heart feels as it
It's falling for you

Linger
Raven Sep 2020
You linger there
In the back of my mind
Like a ghost
Held in by time

You linger there
Trying to push your way forward
Urging me to think
About
YOU

You linger there
But I don't want you to

For everytime I let you forward
I start to smell your scent

For everytime I let you forward
I start to feel your presence

For everytime I let you forward
I'm rendered
Silent
Unmoveable

For everytime I let you froward
You haunt me

You linger there
Taunting me
Haunting the darkest corners of
Me

Nathaniel
Raven Apr 2018
You make me feel a way my heart hasn't felt since the day it first decided to stray

You make me feel hopeful
Like nothing could go wrong
Like our love will last a very long time
And continue to stay strong

You make me feel worth it
Instead of worthless

You make me feel happy
Not ******

You make me laugh fully and trully
Instead of it only being half true

You make me smile
Which no one has truly been able to do in awhile

You make me feel real
Instead of fake
And most of all
You made my heart feel love
And you made me want to put you above anyone else
And you made me want to stay yours
And keep you mine forever
And never let you go
Cause I love you uncontrollably and so truly
I can't nor couldn't deny it

Even if I tried to with all my might
And you have given my empty dark heart light once again
And I never want to let that go

So I shall forever say
And prove to you
That I love you
And I will pray you will always love me too
As much as I love you
Just a note: I'm not religious it just seemed to fit in with the poem XD Also me and him are no longer a thing.

You'll Find Love
Raven Apr 2018
One day you will find love

You might find it in the smile of a friendly passerby

You might find it in the lonely stare of cold eyes

You might find it where you thought no one went but you

You might find it in your best friend

You might find it in the middle of the school hall

You may find it where you never expected it to be at all
Or you might find it where you always knew it would be

No matter what you will find it eventually

But be careful
Because if you don't you may lose it forever
Never to feel it again

Can you
Raven Oct 2020
It washes my emotions away
And make me feel free
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

I hold it in my hands to numb them
And it makes me feel at peace
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

It drips down my skin
And soothes me deep within
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

It holds me close
And makes me feel less alone
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

It heats me up all over
And sends my body into overload
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

It makes all thoughts disappear
And leaves me breathless
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

The thought of it sets me at ease
And fills me with a weird sense of peace
Can you figure out what I'm talking about?

The feel of his kiss
The taste of his lips against mine was amazing

I want his lips on mine again
I want to be held in his arms again
I want to be his
I want to be with him all the time
Have him be called mine

Because when I'm with him I feel safe
And I like that we are going at a steady pace
Instead of acting like we are in a race against the world
Long story short this is about the second person I have truly loved. We are friends now but nothing more. We didn't last very long when we were.

Relieved
Raven May 2021
You have decided you no longer
Want to know me

You say I'm too much
You say you feel
Like ****
When you're around me
So you've decided
To leave

I'm devastated
But at the same time
I'm relieved
And I dont know why

Maybe it's because I won't hear you
Telling me all the things I do
That are wrong

Maybe it's because I won't hear you
Telling me how I make you feel
And that
Its not good

I won't hear you say
"You don't make me feel okay"

I won't hear you say
"I dont want your help"
Because if I help you
Then you'll want me around

I won't hear you say
"You're too much to handle"

I won't hear you say
"You get in the way"
When all I do
Is try to help you
Except for when im really not okay

I won't hear you say
"I'm sorry, I can't help"
When you never even tried

So yeah
Maybe I'm relieved
Because I can finally see
That you were toxic to me

Maybe I'm relieved
Because I can finally see
How you truly treated me

If I ignore the hugs
The cuddles
The butterflies
The smiles
The walks
The holding hands
The peaceful nights

I can remember all the times
That you treated me like ****
And they exceed the ones
Where you didn't.

Drifting
Raven Feb 2022
I'm just another broken soul
Drifting through life
On one last piece of hope

I grasp onto that one last piece
As it pulls me along
And drags me forward
Even when I can't walk

It drags me along
And bruises and breaks
As it goes along
Dragging me across every bump
And every surface

I'm drifting away
From this place
Drifting away
From the space
That I occupy

I've got one last piece of hope
But its leaving me
Bleeding and broke
As I drift away from

Reality
