I Find Poetry Everywhere
Strying Jan 2021
Melodies are poetry,
you are poetry,
his eyes were poetry,
and my hands are made of words,
                                                            stanzas,
                                                                          and figurative language.
It's hard to breathe and not think of a poem.

"Dust if you must,"
but I will not.

I will live life,
as life is a poem.
And I won't stop until each word is written,
all the pages are used up,
and no stanzas are left to be finished.

No words left unsaid,
because an unfinished poem is like a life abandoned,
as is a guitar song cut off in the middle,
and his eyes losing their glisten.
^.^ have a great day

broken hearts
Strying Dec 2020
Don't fall in love and your heart will thank you
when it doesn't shatter and break into
          two,
                        three,
                                          a thousand parts.

Wishing you a great day

is that me in the mirror?
Strying Dec 2020
When I look into the mirror
I mean is that even me anymore
I mean
Life hasn’t been the same since
I've grown numb
To just about everything
And anything
I cant think
I just cry
I lie
I smile
Real wide
Just so you cant see how sad I am
Truly, I'm on the verge
Of the edge
Of jumping
And I just
Can’t take much more.
numb.
Strying Mar 2019
She hurt you once
she hurt you twice
the last strike
and she's out

Goodbye dear lad,
not dear no more!
But, yet, something.
Something inside of
me.
I can't see
that something inside
of me.

It's yelling.
Screaming.
My heart is BEATING!

It just ain't right
But the heart wants what it wants.
My brain says no
yet it still ain't up to me,
for the heart wants what it wants.
Heart wants what it wants ~u~
gee, ikr!

can't sleep
Strying May 2020
Laying here,
5:08,
I can't believe it's so late.
On my phone,
Once again,
I can't believe this might end.

My life is in pieces,
I'm spiraling,
Attempting to create,
Something inspiring.
But how can I focus when I can barely breathe.
My eyes slowly shutting,
I haven't brushed my teeth.
So I stand up and go.
No sleep for me.

Soon I find that it's 8,
and my day has begun.
It's 5:15 am :) great. I have to go somewhere at 10 am today...

silence
Strying Dec 2020
You tell me I'm not good enough
I say a snarky comment,
walk away.

Never saying how I truly feel,
breaking down,
another day.

Knowing I will never be okay,
Hurts a bit,
I gotta say.

But I can't do anything to change,
because when my lips open,
it seems that nothing escapes.

rebirth of love
Strying Dec 2020
People say that changing yourself for another person
Is losing yourself

But I believe there are times
Where changing yourself for another person
Is how you find who you're meant to be

You are reborn,
out of love for another.
today I heard some amazing poetry
I encourage all to look at some more verbal poems as well as written ones
:)

Barely
Strying Jan 2021
above ground.
keeping my head above the top of the sea
is difficult
especially when bombarded from above.
A hand keeping your head
below the surface,
and just when you think you have gotten a breath in,
it shoves you further down
than ever before,
because that's what life does, that's what it does
"don't know what we're chasing but we all do it."
"guess we're all foolish."

I Have To Go
Strying Mar 2019
It pulls me.
I need to go.
I know you won't understand,
But the world needs me now.

Don't be afraid.
And know, anything that happens,
I will always lo-

And that was the day my world ended.
Aw this is so cute I love it (egotistic rn lol)
Also, it reminds me of when Ronnie died in the Flash *cries*

when our mouths no longer speak
and our ears no longer hear
I know I'll still love you by
the way you smile
or shed a tear
the way you move
the way you'll tremble
through every step and every blink
each breath
in,
and out
your soul,
forever intertwined with mine <3
love

She doesn’t Know
Strying Mar 2019
She doesn’t know that I like her
She doesn’t know that I care
She doesn't know that I know her secret
She doesn’t even know me

But I secretly know all of this.
I can't keep my thoughts inside,
because I love her
And she doesn’t know that I'm there

When people laugh and stare
all I wanna do is go save her

And when I say I like boys
Well I don't think that is true
But I guess we have to find out
Someway, too
I don’t know
If she will ever really know.
What I want.
What I see.
Who she is to me.
This is one of my old poems about the random thoughts in my mind XD

I Need A Break
Strying Feb 2020
Sometimes I see
The world in black and white,
Whether I'm relaxing in my bed,
Playing Minecraft,
Or running a mile.

Trying to get biology
OUT of my head!

I'm guessing that I've grown horns!
I'm guessing I'm human no more!
But I'm sorry,
I needed a break.
I needed to say:
I'm over this thing called, school!

I want to go home.
I want to stay there.
I want to not finish my homework.
I want to live my life free
From the eternal chains
Of torment and classrooms,
Filled with books,
More than I could ever read.

Please let me out,
I'm willing to take a leap.
I'm willing to take a risk.
Please let me have a break,
My brain feels as though it might break.
HEY YALL! I can't do HW right now. I swear I can't look at these assignments for ONE SECOND more. So I'm gonna try to take a nap and see if I feel better and up to doing them in the morning but gosh it done with homework and school right now -_-

Social Distancing!!!!
Strying Apr 2020
Sigh...
Aight.

I'm done with this small life
Indoor life
Closed-door life
I wanna shout about it
I wanna tell all my thoughts
and maybe you'll agree upon it!

Now this a hunch
Let me know, what'd you have for lunch
Canned beans?
Again?
Oh, that's right.

Stay home kids,
Stay home peeps,
Lessen the curve,
let's do this!

If you're done with this life,
then do somethin' 'bout it.
Stay home!
This will all be over much faster,
If you would,
JUST,
Stay home!

Sigh...
Hi all! Social distancing helps so please please please try to quarantine as much as possible in your residence/home and only go out for essentials!

and then he said

Open Enrollment
Strying Jan 2021
Meaning they can tell you
That you can't do it
And you can take the class
Despite their voices
Despite their downgrading
Despite everyone who limits you
And everyone who doubts you
You can take the class
And you can prove them wrong.

You are strong.
:) you got this :)

Autumn Realizations
Strying Oct 2023
The wind keeps flailing a leaf in the grass outside my window,
it moves from side to side,
lightly and violently, back and forth,
but it stays in the same spot on the ground.

This leaf is so grounded I begin to feel jealous,
it withstands any gust.

Then, I remember this leaf fell from a tree,
it already lost its battle.

And now it's fighting yet another one.

A never-ending war,
the life after leaving home.

Couldn't say the words

meaningless
Strying Apr 2021
If everyone dies,
why should I try to get an A?
And if humans are evil,
why do I try to be good?
do we not understand that the stress we put on ourselves is unneeded, u can live your life, or you can die, it's that simple.
Live hard or live easy depends on how people around you treat life.
Sadly, society is mainly made up of people who want complacent slaves who get good grades and end up working a 9 to 5 in an office.
In fact, people will judge you until you make it big, and even then people will keep judging you.
You can't be loved by everyone, and you can't expect that.
But, that should be the norm.
Why do we hate, when we can love?
Why do people make things harder for themselves?
It's like we want people to suffer but then complain when it affects us too.
ok this started out as a poem and ended in a rant so it's cool if u don't read, just idk where to put it all lol

Always yelling at your body
Telling you
"THIS IS NOT OKAY"

and if it doesn't stop soon

all because of you.
I hope everyone is okay out there, I know there are a lot of stressful things going on in the world right now <3

And start the test.

cycle of sadness

each day i hope for something better
as though the darkness fades away in the night
and the daytime washes the remains clean

if only reality was like this
and i didn't wake up still teary-eyed,
waiting for dead of night to come again
allowing me to lay my head
and let my pillow catch the waterfall again.
an old draft i kinda liked

Crashing Down
Strying Oct 2020
My world will spin,
Till it can no more.
It comes crashing down,
All around my mind,
So I try,
To be kind.
To hide my faulty crimes.
But I know the truth.
For I've fallen so deep,
I can no longer sleep.
And I've cried so many tears,
I hold nothing else dear.
Soon, I shall disappear.
Heyo another sad poem from yours TrULy
