Sometimes
Life feels like
Carrying a piano
While walking on
A tightrope
It's hard being strong without losing balance...

In these dark days
I carry you with me like a coat.
You protect me from rain
        look back from behind the glass.
    pull me out of the water and
into your boat.

Brave

I'm afraid of failure
Of becoming a burden
But above all, I'm afraid
Of hurting the ones I love
And ending up alone...

Yet I'm here, I've shown
In the face of my demons
And screamed at them
That they'll never take
The very best of me

So I may not be fearless
I'm quite fine with that
For I'm brave
I never regarded myself as the courageous type... until the day I realized that being brave doesn't mean being fearless. Being brave means facing your fears in order to do what you must.

Today I've just laid
In my bed the entire day
Feeling absolutely numb
And that's what scares
Me the most...

I don't wanna go down
That road again
Every word feels off... everything feels off. But I kinda needed to write it anyway.

Each brush stroke
A part of my soul
Blending
Mixing
Bleeding into eachother

Colors combining
Overlapping
Kind of like my thoughts

They make something interesting
Maybe messy
But calming
At least to me
Another way to deal with the world

(My cat's fish's uncle's enemy's friend took me to the middle of the ocean to write this note)

It's okay
Its okay
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
You're okay
You're okay
Everything will be okay
Okay?
You're okay
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
Breathe and everything will be okay


I feel like I'll never be okay...
This doesn't really count as a poem I guess but it is what I say to myself very quickly when I'm feeling panicked. I also loop the song "don't worry be happy".

Also in case anyone is wondering today I turned into a pterodactyl, and another pterodactyl called Bob told me to write this note while doing a backflip into a wormhole (Im not athletic so when I failed I was in so much pain I had to turn back into a human)

I think my notes are getting out of control, maybe I should stop...

While I'm here
Lying in bed
Shivering from the cold of night
And writing with all my might
I hear the noises from outside

Motorcycles roaring
Large groups if people laughing
Random fireworks launching
And planes soaring

They're doing things
Being alive and awake
While I try to sleep
And to calm down
They run around

I wish I would be out there
Running too
But I have to lie here
Cold and anxious
And just hear you
This note was written by the villain of my dream

I write
Both to think more
And not to think

I paint
Both to illustrate my feelings
And to hide from them under layers of color

I walk
Both get far from my problems
And to make them clearer in my head

And I smile
Both to fake my happiness
And to make me more happy
This note was written by my trash can that grew hands and will soon take over the world

Loving you is the
One stupid idea that
I'll never regret having
How could I ever do so...?
