Some people laugh,
but they’re hurting inside.
They say, “I’m fine,”
with tears they hide.
So always be gentle,
you never quite know,
who’s faking the light
while feeling the low.

just clearing my drafts.

I OFTEN ASK

I often ask myself :

"Why is it so easy to die
for someone you love ,
and yet so hard to live on
for someone who cares?"

and she has

The Moon Left Me a Note

The moon left me a note last night,
Tucked in a cloud, soft and white.
It whispered, “Why rush through the sky?
Even stars take their time to shine.”

Asking for help

Apr 15 Soul-in-poetry

Izan Almira

Asking for help

Asking for help
is like struggling
when you’re drowning;
it isn’t a sign of weakness,
but the desire
to keep living

Don’t drown:
ask for help
in your surroundings.

Because people won’t
watch you drown
when you’re struggling;
they’ll run to help you
out of the pond
you’re drowning in.
Because if you don’t
try to live
so others don’t see you bleed
you will only make them
hurt more
when you fall
under the weight
of the storm.

This is not my best poem or the most beautiful one. But I feel like sometimes you have to push beauty aside when you have something to say.

Silent Cries, Spoken Pain

Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can't explain how broken your heart is.
