i just wanted everything to be still,
but when you came it was really big dill.
you gave me a chill, a really big thrill;
nothing i could express,
because i was mentally ill.

The warm cookies I now liked cold.
The little gnome still kept me warm.
But still, hugs make me feel at home.

Syd Sep 2019
We were going to talk for the first time in a while.
I doubt you will speak, I doubt you will smile.
But what do we know; we are juvenile.
I don’t want to defile,
but it went great,

Thanks for the smile.

Thanks, Mom.
Syd Aug 2019
the crisp edges satisfyingly crunchy.
i bit into half a blueberry scone still warm from the oven.
a new recipe you decided to try out.
it tastes delicious.
thanks mom.

like lemonade
Syd Jul 2021
I love you like lemonade.
You're so bitter
but I-I crave
the sweet taste
you give to everything.
And when I'm with you
my mind goes blank
like I can't explain.
I hate when you're away,
so don't leave me.
Only stay.

Syd Dec 2019

but you can't talk to the one you broke.

failed haiku
Syd Jun 2021
What if you never wanted
a person like me. What will
you do after that?
I tried to make a haiku but the first line has too many syllables. Hope you enjoyed it anyway.

I just turned 15
Syd Oct 2021
Do I wanna leave?
Or do I just wanna stay with you?
What’s the point of this whole thing
if I don't know what I’m gonna be?
What do I do with my life?
Where would I be without you?
Think my health’s important,
but how important could it be
if they’re shoving homework
down the throats of kids at 17?

I know I’ll regret staying in this whole thing,
but when it ends they’d all love me.
Doing it all for the wrong reasons.
Maybe one day I’ll know what’s right.
But what if it’s wrong
to leave?
What if this is what I’m meant to be
but I might come out of it dead.
Just wanna see what it’s like.
Could **** me just to save time.
It’s not worth the time if it cuts out years
of my life, due to stress.
The only reason to stay is for the "what ifs"
and nothing else, so maybe I should leave.
Not that that would be saving my mom any
money
But it’s whatever, I suppose.
I’m better than I used to be,
but I wasn’t built for this life.
Is it self-hatred to say I wouldn’t make it?
or is it protecting myself
from death by mental illness?

I’ll think it over, I still have some time.
Just feel like I’m misleading everyone,
not that they thought that this thing
was for me.
But what if it was?
Not that it has more positives than the opposite.
They asked me if I’ll leave
and I said maybe.
I just turned 15, and I think I might leave ib.
it's a really hard decision

People Say
Syd Aug 2019
People say time heals, but it's not the time. It's the new memories you create while you're apart.

It will always hurt; what you did to me. I forgive you, but that doesn't fix the pain.

People say we were mint to be, but we'd still be together if that were true.
I loved you, but don't you go breaking my heart.
423 · Sep 2019
Don't tell me.
Syd Sep 2019
Don't tell me I'm wrong for wanting love.
Don't tell me not to cry over people.

If I don't love who will love me. No one.
So... Don't tell me not to love because
all I ever wanted-

was to be loved by you.
403 · Oct 2019
i gave you my heart.
Syd Oct 2019
i gave you my heart.
it became lonely, cold, dead.
i never liked a girl the way i liked you.
it was new.
i didn't know what to do.
so please forgive me;
please be my boo.

My trust falls on you like a bowling ball on a toe.
But, at least I know:

you'll go with me through
all life's struggles;
  we'll take it slow.

Spare a laugh
Syd Jun 2021
You can’t spare a laugh
when I need one
to make me feel
that much better.

Spare a laugh
For me
When I need you
To lift me up
Into the clouds
Just for a second.

I killed someone for you; me.

My heart is whats keeping me alive, but it is also whats killing me.

I’ve been stabbed many times, but you aimed for the heart.

forever sad
Syd Oct 2019
i am forever sad.
crying 43% of days a week.
half the days are bad.
all of them sad.
i don't know how else but to be mad.
i'm so sad that i can't be glad.
so that's my life story,
forever sad.
             mad.
             bad.

the floodgates of hell
Syd Nov 2019
composed of silence; a graceful heart dances.

you went to me; spoke words that weren't revolting. my heart breaking away from its old quiet ways.

the angels in heaven sang a hopeful song to cherish that a lovely day.

the next day the storm came, and washed it all away. the love, the heart, but the silence came to stay. the floodgates from down below break loose and my hearty heart heart cries in the shadows of sanctimonious.

the world ended that day. for i nor no one else expected what a vigorous storm. my hands shaking with the satin tears. fast as they fell.

the storm rushing from the floodgates of hell.

anxiety
Syd Nov 2019
i didn't know how to be happy
my anxiety was increasing gradually by the week.

crying all the time; worried i couldn't do it in time.
that i would fail and all the people would say that they told me so.

that my world was falling apart so fast i couldn't even try to pick it up as it fell.

Al hombre de la luna
Syd Mar 2023
Cada día dame tu abrigo-
Y no esta un regalo mejor que tu toque.
Ay, mi amor, cuando he estado contigo;
Ahora estas mi roque.

Y no esta un regalo mejor que tu toque.
Un día con mi amor sentía como muchos.
Ahora estas mi roque-
Nunca, no puedo dejar.

Un día con mi amor sentía como muchos.
La luna a mi sol.
Nunca, no puedo dejar;
Alrededor mi, tu vas.

La luna a mi sol.
Illuminas los noches más oscuros.
Alrededor mi, tu vas-
Y siempre lo estas.

Illuminas los noches más oscuros.
Ay, mi amor, cuando he estado contigo-
Y siempre lo estas.
Cada día dame tu abrigo.
Written in the pantoum format.

Easy to reuse.

Chicago
Syd Mar 2023
Oh, I had never created a piece of art
I was simply an invisionary that-
Made things how I saw fit.

Oh, and those bright eyes of mine-
My eyes were more forgiving than kind.
And isn't that what they always like.

Oh, the city, a year ago I visit-
Was the mark of a new beginning.
Missing things, go back just for the feeling.

Oh, to doing things for myself,-
Not what everyone else is wanting.
To the city with shorter hair-
And now my ***** are the only things flying.

Oh, to give what I can-
That is the recipe for
A philanthropist man.

Oh, short hair flowing in the wind-
And my finger on the cloud gate.
And my forgiving eyes are ready to forgive again.-
A toast to a new beginning.

Textured skin.

In caressing your cheek, I learned
That the smoothing touch was not
Known to you. There was always force upon
Any touch you were given.

Pero cuando estamos juntos,
Nada es malo. Todas las

La habilidad a ser en mi estado.
No debo tratar, solo ser lo que soy.

I wondered;
Syd Sep 2019
i wondered if you felt the same.
i always wanted to know.
i didn't even know if, i, myself felt it; what i thought i felt.
it was a mystery.
just question marks swooshing around like tired flags right around me.
181 · Jul 2021
same
Syd Jul 2021
you want me to be you
exactly the same

you want me to be you
exactly the same

everything you are
is what you want for me

i must embody everything
that makes you who you are

and everything that makes me me
has to go

or else i will be
controlled and made to be you

as i can see
you need someone else

to deflect away from me
so that i can be on my own

and im not you
just like you want

even though that’s not me
it causes so much pain

to see you how you are
the way you wish i was made
176 · Nov 2019
why do you wish to love?
Syd Nov 2019
people always ask me, "why do you wish to love? you're very young you know."

i always tell them; "you're never to young to want happiness."
Syd Sep 2019
Even if I never touch your lips, I will always remember you.
You made me laugh. You gave me joy. You made me think.
I doubt you did the same, but I- will still remember you. I often stared at your lips because I wanted to kiss you, and also, your lips were eye-level for me. I thought what it would be like to kiss you.

I want you. I want you to be my first.
Be my first kiss.

I remember how we met;-at a school-organized event. I thought you were funny and charming. You always smiled. You always made me feel special.

One problem:
You had your eye on someone else; I always asked if you still felt for him, because I want to know if I even have a chance with you. Like it was a competition between me and him, somehow. This guy you fantasized about but could never be with, for obvious reasons.



I just want to know if you’re smiling for the same reason I am at you.
174 · Aug 2019
Then you know.
Syd Aug 2019
it felt good to be full.
to know that for at least a day or two you wouldn't be starving.
to know that you still had at least a week before you would die of thirst.
then you know today is not the end. the last.

An Inspired Dancer
Syd Mar 2023
If I am a tired dancer you make me
Want to dance again. This tired
Old waltz you ought not dance trice.
But I dare to dance it again. Just
for you, my love. Oh, how we move with
Such ease. So east to not get our
Legs intertwined if we do not wish
Them so.
152 · Mar 2023
Me, oh certainly!
Syd Mar 2023
And I am just the person that
Goes to sleep watching the titanic sink.
Oh, I find it so relaxing!
Oh, I am just the sadist- getting
Off on your misery!
Just as evil as you say dear- smiling
At your very tears.

A tear streaking down my face as I admired the truth about us.
We weren't a grand finale episode of Dancing With The Stars, but instead two lonely lilly-pads in the summer mist of a suburb we both call home. So natural. So elegant. Were so

happy; together.

Name Poem
Syd Sep 2020
My name, which is growing in popularity as we speak,
Is mine and only mine, and all the others are fake.
But 2007 was really its peak.
Most people are trying to take,
What’s not theirs and make it great.
People make the name something that’s not the same.
Like dogs and cats.
They’re different and you don’t get them confused,
And when people get it wrong you slowly light your fuse.

It’s not their fault, and I know that to be true,
But everyone likes their name better,
And that’s what makes me blue.

My last name means hay,
Which is ok,
But then people say it wrong,
It just makes you grey.
You say the J sounds like H,
And they try again.
This time its better, but still not the the way,
You like to say
It.

The Last Tie
Syd Mar 2023
And now I tighten the tie you tied
Around your neck for me.
The last time you tied it you told me
How your father taught you to tie a
Tie, but you could only ever tie it onto
Yourself first.
And how that- my dear- was the
Second best thing he ever did for you.
His death was the first.
“Oh my dearest father loved this song” you
Said- but was he anything dear to you?
And now I sit in the corner- repeating
To myself- did I do something wrong?
144 · Aug 2019
i wondered why.
Syd Aug 2019
I wondered why I wasn't happy.
I knew it had something to do with school and the new friends I'd hadn't made.
In high school, I would be voted "hardest to understand", or "punniest", but nothing special.
My life was just a sequence of sadness and anger with a pinch of sweet mixed in. I used sugar to cope when it didn't help with how I looked at myself in the mirror.
I was lonely and socially awkward.
In this harsh world, I was just a grain of sand on the beach. One of the infinite grains of sand.

Not desirable.
Not wanted. Just like everyone else.
And it was worse because that's actually what I was the most scared of.

Everything I wish wouldn't have happened, happened.
140 · Aug 2019

All i wanted...

all i wanted was one good day. one.
but my day had been bad.
i played games.
by brother was more rude than usual.
my homework was due soon.
all i wanted to do was write.
i had a smoothie from the wholesale shop.
i then smiled.
i needed a nap bad.
the doggy ate my library book.
my temper was thin and fragile.
all i wanted was to be was alone,
on my own, agile as a dear.
just me, myself, and i.

Why do you hate me
Syd Feb 2020
Wanting to whisper my worries to you when you won't listen.
How could you hate me?
You say you could never hate me.

Does you heart hurt at the thought of hating me,
Or does it make you laugh or pleasure ti'll you cry?

Have fun hating me before there's no me to hate.
After I'm dead you will wish you would have spoke.
Talk to me now before the time runs out.
Even if you don't care because later it will give you a scare.

My eyes begin to dry as I open up my eyes,
Efface yourself if this is true; that you hate me more than I you.

When I'm With You

Brain juggling.
Eyes meeting.

Cheeks blushing.
