Hesitation
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
We hesitate because
We are afraid
Take the leap
Count to three if you need to
But it helps you to leap
Then not leap at all

Human
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
We are all human
so why must we hurt each other
some say it's because of jealousy
or hate
or even love
But we all need to help each other
We are all human and we need to stick together

Lies
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
Lies are used to Build Walls
Lies are used to Barcade our true selves in.
Lies are used to Hide what we think is wrong
Lies are used to Build a fase world that encases us and destroys our humanity.
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
There's always a little
Truth
Behind every
"Just kidding"

A little
knowledge
Behind every
"I don't know"

A little
Emotion
Behind every
"I don't care"

And a little
Pain
Behind every
"It's ok"

My Fox
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
Thank you.
I want to dedicate this to you.
I will dedicate everything I have and am to you.
I... Love you.
There I said it.
That one word that scared me and that word also had scarred me.
So many people said they loved me but I hurt them because of the word "No"
Love scared me and it scarred me because it hurt me and others I was close with.
I don't want to hurt you.
But I cant hold it in any longer.
Sorry if I hurt you saying "No"
I love you.
You helped me get over my fear of love.
Thank you.
You have dedicated your life to helping anyone but yourself.
That's why I take all the pain you would receive instead.
I balance everything out for every good action there is a opposite reaction.
I balance it out so you don't get hurt at all.
I love you.
I would die for you.
Sorry I that part hurts you in some way.
I take a lot of the pain you would feel for helping.
Sorry.
Don't worry.
My Fox
This is to someone I care about and I hope she reads it. She really has helped me get over my fear of love.

My Story
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
Your writing my story My Fox.
Your writing it for me and all I can do it read it and find that...
You make my life perfect.
I am sorry that I didn't see how much you cared.
I want to say yes to everything you say.
Follow you around like a lost puppy.
Thank you for writing my story.
But I think I can take it from here now.
I never realized what you did for me.
Now I do thank you.
I am sorry if I caused you trouble.
Thanks.
My Fox.

Sorry
Take care
For me

Afraid
Amy Duckworth Sep 2018
There is a girl,
She is scared of love
She doesn't want to be cared about because she is afraid of losing someone she loves.
So she is scared to caring or loving someone.
There is a girl,
Who is afraid to be blind
She doesn't want to miss out on all the pretty sights she could see.
So she is scared to not see the world in all it's glory.
The first girl falls in love and gets married,
But her husband cheates on her.
The second girl loves to star gaze,
But she is just dreaming when she wakes up she is blind.
These two part are like the two sides of me and I fear both things and I am afraid of what's going to happen

Sleep
Amy Duckworth Aug 2018
I have always felt
Sleep is one step away from death.
So if that is so...
We come so close to death every night.
Is that why I love sleep so much?
But sleep helps bring us life for the next day.
It brings dreams.
And lets us think.
So is sleep bad or good?
We may never know
These are my thoughts so you may have other ways of thinking what sleep is

Life
Amy Duckworth Aug 2018
It's a race.
We are all running in it.
But no one wins.
Unless they cheat.
Some people get lost on the way.
I am running.
Close to first.
But all I see is them laughing at me.
So I am crying out at them.
They won't stop.
They cheated.
So I am running still.
But it hurts.
I am trying so hard.
So I am running.
In the game of life.

Anger
I feel it so often
Maybe too often
I have broken things
I have barley anyone left holding me down
Because if I stand up I will snap
I hate who I am
Because all I feel is anger
Hate
Fury
Sadness
Loneliness
Longing
Why do I feel these emotons all the time
Why am I unstable...
I guess...
No one will ever know
Not even me
Because I am unstable
And filled with anger
...
But
I truly want to let out my happiness that I keep locked up like a percious stone at a museum never used
I guess I will stay this way
Because life is supposed to look up
Right?
...
Life never looks up
For me that is
Am I just unlucky?
Or hated that much
I am like glass
Left untouched I am clear and perfect
But thouched I am smudged and disgusting
I hate myself
This world
I should
not live in it anymore
But I deserve the pain this world puts me through
So...
I will live only for the pain
For the pain
the first and second ... are two people but the last ... is other there subconscious talking to them their "devil"

False
Amy Duckworth Aug 2018
I am false
I hide behind my smile
My eyes
My skin
I hide my scars with
Clothes
Bandages
Makeup
I am false
I hide my true self
A ******
A ******
A nerd
someone broken
Someone scared
Someone lovesick
ready to ****
But I hide all that
Or I will never be cared for
And loved
Thats why I hide
And act falsely
I am false
A lie
A illusion

Heart Aflame
Amy Duckworth Aug 2018
My heart is on fire
It is like a battle zone
A war
But every time the war ends
Everything is broken
Set alight
I am shattered
Like glass that was dropped
But wasn’t picked up
My heart is a battle field
My heart is aflame

Love
Amy Duckworth Jul 2018
I want them
I need them
They hold my heart in her hands
I love them because they fixe my heart when it gets hurt
Even the smallest nick in my walls I have up they fix it
They picked up the million pieces of my heart that scattered when I broke
They put them back together
I want to thank them for that
So thank you my Lovley
I love them with all my being
They brought life to me when I had nothing
They saved me from suicide
From emptiness
From hate
Thank you
My Lovley

"Its going to be alright."
Amy Duckworth Jul 2018
"It's going to be alright"
"Your fine nothing is wrong"
"Everything turns out in the end"
I always hear those lines
Over
And
Over
And
Over
I hate those lines
Nothing is ok in my mind
I broke and so did my world
Stop saying that
Please
Just stop
It hurts me more

Puzzles
Amy Duckworth Jun 2018
Life is like a puzzle.
Some peices you lose.
Some it takes you forever to fit them in.
Then there are the ones that fit in easily.
I am one of the lost peices.

Ending
Amy Duckworth Jun 2018
They can be happy or sad
They can be fast or slow
We all want an ending but don't want one at the same time
Endings help you finish and start anew

Letting Go
Amy Duckworth May 2018
It's hard to let go of someone
When you loved them it hurts to let them go off on their own
I can't let it go so I fake it
They think I am ok
I am not ok
I didn't let go because I can't
I care too much to do so
I can't let go
I pains me too
But I guess I will now
I see you with them
I will let go
For your sake

My Life
Amy Duckworth May 2018
My life is messy
Everything I touch falls apart
I pull away because I am afraid I will care
I don't want my love to hurt someone
Everything I do messed something up
Why can't I do something right?
I am never that lucky
I am maybe just a little more smart than most people my age
That's the only good thing about me
Everything falls apart around me
I fall apart
Everyday
Why?
Why can't the clouds go away?
May 2018 · 314
Every Time
Amy Duckworth May 2018
Everytime I see you my heart beats happily
Everytime you go away it saddens
My eyes light up when I see you
They dull when you go away
My heart wants you
But it knows you care for someone else
It breaks everytime I think of that
I will help you get what you want
Because I care about you
Just find happyness
I will get what I want once you get want you want
I will pass on once you get her
May 2018 · 254

Towers
Amy Duckworth May 2018
It stands tall
But it falls far
It makes no noise
When it fall is booms, Roars, Screeches
Towers stand tall
Until they fall

Calling Out
Amy Duckworth May 2018
I hear something calling me
But I don't know what
Or who
Or where they are
I am calling out to them now
We can't hear each other
It's like love
You both call out but can't answer the call
Until you work together
May 2018 · 134
Despair
Amy Duckworth May 2018
It hold us down
It sinks us
It makes of stay down
Only hope lifts you back up
Fight against it
Dont let it hurt you
Don't let it pull you down

Brief
Amy Duckworth May 2018
Life
It doesn't seem to last long
But yet it feels like and eternity
Life
Passes in a instant
But sticks to you
Life
Takes so much time
But takes no time

Waiting
Amy Duckworth May 2018
We all wait for someone
Whether it is in
Love
Care
Or friendship
We all wait
Sometimes that waiting helps us
Sometimes it dosent
I am waiting for someone
Out of love and care
We all wait
It takes time
Take your time
They will understand
Wait for it and be patient
May 2018 · 85
Writing
Amy Duckworth May 2018
Its a way I let myself go
I become what and who I want to be
Try it it may make you happy
I get lost in it
But have something that guides me back
The thrill makes me happy
I am almost never happy
It removes the tears I hold back
It lets me fly away
Free like a bird
Maybe I am a bird
Maybe I am a lion
Maybe I am a Dragon
I get lost in thought
It can lead you to a peaceful place
Try it and let your thoughts go
Good Luck
May 2018 · 72
Reality
Amy Duckworth May 2018
We would like it to be easy
We sometimes need it to be easy
It isn't easy
Accept it
Things can only get better once you hit the bottom
Try to accept it
We want it to be easy
We need it to be easy
I am done trying to stop it and slow thing down
Reality is like a raging river
Fast and chaotic
But comes to a peaceful end somewhere
Just wait but take the leap when needed
Good luck

Candle
Amy Duckworth May 2018
It stands tall when its young
It get smaller the more its used
It brings light to the dark

Change
Amy Duckworth Apr 2018
It's something we fear
It brings good and bad
It's something we hope for
It brings hope and despair
We need
It can hurt you
It can help you
Apr 2018 · 205
Hope
Amy Duckworth Apr 2018
We all need it at some point
We always need to believe in it somewhere along the road
It is here to help us move along
It is like that person who stays behind to help you up
But there is no person
It is just you
Keep it in your heart
Keep it safe
Don't let it be corrupted or corrupt you.

Sight
Amy Duckworth Apr 2018
It helps you know what physically is coming
Some don't have this gift
Use it wisely
I am losing mine
Please us it knowing some don't have this gift
Please be happy you have it

Truth
Amy Duckworth Apr 2018
It may hurt you
But it helps more in the long run
Even if it hurts you its the truth you can't change it try to accept it the best you can
Its ok if you can't
It was hard for me too
Dont worry
