Ink
Rj Dec 2015
Ink
No matter how hard I try
The ink blothches on the page,
The paint on the canvas,
The pencil on the paper,
They will never transform
Into real life

Fade Away
Rj Dec 2015
It's all faded away
Only the memories bring back the magic
Just thinking about the magic of our childhood

Pine Trees

The tall pines trees reach for heaven
I stand with my arms upwards,
Joining them as well

Acceptance
Rj Dec 2015
Sometimes it's not your fault
Sometimes you did all you could
And all I can say is
*Never again
Things are better. Much.

3AM
I'm sorry I hurt you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I want to be a ******* doctor
I want to fix people
So know that hurting them isn't really my thing
I feel like ****
I feel like ****
And I keep staring in my drawer
I pulled it out and I stared at it and I stared at it
I mean I deserve it right?
After being so **** hurtful
I deserve it right
No.
No it's almost been a year.
Just know I'm sorry
Know I'm not forgiving myself
Know I'm in pain too
Know I wish you'd never known me
Because then you wouldn't be hurt
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I am nothing
How could you fall for this
I am sorry
****

The Climb
Rj Dec 2015
It's like we are climbing a wall
that we won't get to the top off,
but we keep climbing it
because we strive to make it to the top, and the thrill of the climb
makes it that much more exciting

Scrolling
Rj Dec 2015
I scroll the home page bitterly,
Frantically, angrily, hopelessly,
Search the titles of the poems
Something, anything I can repost
But none of the titles say what I want
None of them are at me
None of them are saying
What I want to hear
****. I'm just messed up right now. So so so messed up about something so so stupid.

Useless Words

Useless because they will

Rj Dec 2015
You got yourself in a dangerous zone
Cause we both have the fear, fear of being alone
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love you mess with the truth
And my heart don't understand it, understand it, understand it
On My Mind//Ellie Goulding. It's a cool song.

Tomorrow
Rj Dec 2015
I'm tired of the damage
I'm tired of the sorrow
Let's bring out the happy
Let's do it tomorrow
Silly little rhymes:)
Rj Dec 2015
It's obvious the memory still lasts,
I tried making it last for days
But I thought it would eventually go away
A small insignificant detail,
I made it a subconscious want
How on earth

Forgiveness
Rj Dec 2015
Even if no one believes me
Forgiveness is the greatest thing we have
How can anyone sit on a throne and condemn others when they also sin every single day.
It's in no ones place to judge.
But we are all human, and we all will.
**Just remember it was Christ who hung out with the prostitutes, liars, cheaters, thiefs and heretics.
He knew what was in their soul. He knew who they were. He forgave them all. He DIED for them. As well as you. I think we ALL need to remember what we are called to do here. (The *you* is universal). I was talking to God today and it was kind of a slap in the face. How can I go around judging people when I am a very sinful person as well. I always knew that saying but I never ever let it touch me. It has now. I hope I've changed because of this. I hope I can be someone amazing, compassionate and forgiving.

Mr B
Rj Dec 2015
"The truth is, that giddy butterfly in-love feeling? It goes away. And all that's left is friendship. You have to ask, is my lover my best friend, because in the end that's all that's left"
A quote by one of the counsellors when talking to me about love. He's read so many psychological studies, and he says even from his own experience, being in love isn't just about the butterflies because that's temporary. It's about the compatibility. Will your lover end up being your best friend, or a temporary feeling? I thought it was really cool.

Closer
Rj Dec 2015
Closer and closer He pulls me
Begs me to follow Him
God, I want a fufilling relationship with You. I want to actually do something about it. I want to stop saying I am Christian and start being a Christian.

Bow
Rj Dec 2015
Bow
I wore a bow in my hair today
Because I wanted to
As simple as that. Not some life changing decision that defines who I am. I simply saw a bow and put it my hair. Same if I were to were a beanie. Doesn't really mean anything. Just made me happy today

A Young Girl
Rj Dec 2015
A blabber mouth
Crazy stupid loud girl
A bossy commanding dominant girl
A long-haired skinny silly girl
Scraggly, *****, pretty girl
Wild like an animal
Big eyes, short, weird smile
A girl who truly truly
Didn't care what others thought
A dancing on the tables girl
A muddy, smelly, adventurous girl
Silly young innocent girl
Where are you now?
Me as a child. I can't tell you how much I wish I'd kept these qualities. I know some of them are still there, just hidden. Idk, I got really nostalgic watching old videos of myself and my sister.

Day 1
Rj Dec 2015
What other solution was there
what else was there to do
what else would have happened
Me helplessly walking behind
As you hold and kiss him,
Occasionally I get a peck on the cheek?
You would rather me fall for you,
And suffer
Than me to move on,
And find someone who will actually
Spend their love on me,
And I mean *all of it
Dec 2015 · 169
M
Rj Dec 2015
M
Maybe I would feel completely differently
If you weren't so in love with someone else
Try having feelings for someone that
Only talks about their relationship with the perfect boy
Of course I moved on
What was my other choice

Rj Dec 2015
I can't believe it
You want me to stay single,
Lonely, and unhappy
So you can have the
Feeling of someone crushing on you
Because your boyfriend doesn't do it enough.
Unbelievable.
News flash I actually care about myself.
Done. So ******* done. **** this.

Disclaimer

Please know that my poems on here are almost never about anyone on here

Sexual Purity
Rj Dec 2015
If we were all pieces of cloth
And our ****** purity was represented
Some peoples would be stained,
Others maybe even torn,
But my cloth would be pretty clean
And that's okay too
I'm not attacking anyone whose engaged in ****** acts. I'm just thinking that people always look down or belittle the people who haven't done those things. But you know what? It's not a bad thing

Bedsheets
Rj Dec 2015
My bedsheets are soaked in memories and emotions
A stain of blood there, some drips of tears there,
A warm imprint of people who once held each other there
I put them in the wash, but they don't seem to come out

Seeing the Right Way
Rj Dec 2015
What if we stopped seeing people as a gender, race, or religion
And started seeing them as actual human souls instead?
Obviously not a new concept or original but.

What If
Rj Dec 2015
I guess if I had to say it
I'm afraid of being in a relationship
What if I mess it up
What if I don't meet expectations
What if I'm not good at being romantic
What if I'm not compatible
What if
What if
What if
I hate that I'm like this, it's just I'm so so nervous about even thinking about being in a relationship. Like.

Never Have I Ever
Rj Dec 2015
Not to sound risky or anything
But I'd like to scratch a few things off my list
Hahahaha. This doesn't have to be ******. I know it comes off that way, but it doesn't have to be taken that way.

Don't Fall in Love with Me
Rj Dec 2015
You shouldn't fall in love with me
Because in the beginning,
I'll be swaying back and forth
Won't be sure if the leap is worth it
And you'll be mad, that I'm wavering
You shouldn't fall in love with me
I'll want to go really really slow,
Like a turtles pace slow
And then I'll want to speed the hell up
And then go really really slow
And then, if for some reason,
You're still sticking around,
Then I'll become fully comfortable
Most likely
But then again no ones ever let me get to that point and I don't blame them. But I mean can you blame me for being cautious with a past like mine? Haha, but this isn't directed at anyone really. It's more to any future people I guess

Bloody dreams
Rj Dec 2015
I was sick
Deathly sick, infected with some virus
Killing me
My mind was turned on and off
I was half crazy, touched by dementia
Some kind of neurotoxin
And threw up blood
Red blood, but thicker than glue
To where it caught in my throat coming up
Dangerously choking me every time
Blood
Red and black thick blood
Sat in coagulated clumps on the new carpet
My mother came in
Told me to fold some clothes,
When my mind cleared from the
New waves of dementia
I realized I was dying
Why weren't my parents taking me to the hospital?
They didn't care
In fact they tried to pretend I wasn't there
It was like I was embarrassing them
I tried to tell two of my friends
They didn't care
They didn't care
They didn't care
I looked in the mirror,
My eyes widened
Sticky, gelatinous blood
Caught stuck in my throat
And I knew then,
Half conscious,
I was going to die
And no one
**Would care.
What happens when you study a blood chapter before sleeping combined with your worst fears.

Nauseous Dreams
Rj Dec 2015
Life is a tumbling sea of nauseous waves right now
Waves fueled by dreams I can't even begin to decode
Unless you take into consideration my worst fears
I hate those. Those dreams when you wake up in the middle of the night sick to your stomach but you go back to sleep quickly because for some reason it feels right in a paradoxically wrong way.

Forgotten Pain

I saw you today
Inside my drawer
Forgotten,
But not really
I touched you today
Ran my finger
Down you today
But then I threw you away
It'll never be worth it

Thacker's Class
Rj Dec 2015
I slumped down in a chair, spun it around
Slid the test I took back and forth, eyes tearing up
You aren't going to eat lunch? he asks
I say no, I mean academics is more important,
But it's not like I'm studying, or even looking at my test
He looks at me concerned, then goes back to his laptop
Part of me wants to scream.
**Thacker my family is falling apart and my mom is depressed and my dad leaves all the time and I still remember the gun shot, and I can't forget the words and I am just not functioning, and now I got a stupid grade on your test and my head hurts and I want you to know I don't hate you or your class I just don't like what's happening in my life right now and I'm taking it out on you, please help me.
Ignore this

Talented
Rj Dec 2015
He said he had no idea how I got through it over the years
How I managed not to completely break down
He said it must just be I'm strong, that it must be a talent
Who knew you could be talented at not falling apart.

Chronic
Rj Nov 2015
I'm tired of feeling this way
The head aches won't go away
My emotions are out of check
Hell I'm crashing, human wreck
When it all hits you full force
And you blame the emotions
For your physical state
Do you assume this is it?
How you live from now on?
Has it all become chronic?
I'm sorry for the sad poem.

Detour to the Store
Rj Nov 2015
When I'm sad I'll drive to the store
Except I won't go right to the store
I pass the houses with Christmas lights
Or the small shops of the old town
Where things are light with color
And when I see all the people,
I'm not so lonely anymore
:) I love searching for the houses with Christmas lights. Anyways it's just a silly poem of a silly thing I sometimes do now

Tight Rope
Rj Nov 2015
I was on a tight rope balancing
And for a while I stood there
Flailing my arms, about to fall
And now that I've found my footing
I have to make sure I won't ever
Lose it again

Sangria
Rj Nov 2015
You're crashing into me like waves on the coast
Every time we talk, you move in close
Wrecking ball dancing down the hallway
You're holding your shoes, wearing my shades
We fall against the door,
we fall into a wild warm kiss
By Blake Shelton, not mine

Okay
Rj Nov 2015
I seem okay
I trick myself into feeling okay
But when it's quiet
Or when I actually stop
Talking enough to listen to my mind
I'm not okay
I'm dealing, I'll make it
But I'm not just *okay
Why are things ****. Why why why. When will I feel safe and when will I feel okay okay. Wth is going on WTH. Like I keep getting hit with curveballs and I'm wondering when the bruises will be visible. I'm dealing though. I'm mostly happy. Things are just very very very very rough and bumpy and messy and are ******* with me
