I tend to lose myself in crowds of people.
A chameleon blending in with its surroundings.
It’s only when I am alone once more
That I can find myself again

We lock ourselves in high towers
Out of fear of someone hurting us again.
We build a moat and push everyone away
And then wonder why no one comes to save us

The air I breathe
Feels like bricks
In my chest

They say the things that you'll regret
are the things you didn't do,
but the one thing I regret the most
is the time I spent with you.

As I once again start to lose my balance
I wonder
How far will I have to plummet
Before I reach the net.

Writers block is such a *****.

Sometimes it's easier
to take the pain and embrace it,
than it is to let it go
especially when it's all
you know anymore.

We are all nothing more
Than stars with names

How is it that
You have broken my heart
A thousand times over
Yet the sound of my name
Rolling off your tongue
Makes me weak in the knees?

I wish you could see yourself through the eyes
Of everyone who loves you.
Maybe then
You’d never doubt yourself again

Empty is not always
Not feeling anything anymore.
Sometimes
It's feeling so much
But having no more tears
To shed

You don't understand,
No one ever understands.

Her hands are covered in countless scars
From all the time she tried to grab the stars,
A beautiful bright star to call her own
Because the darkness is all she's ever known

No one ever sees the signs until it's
Too late.

Your voice bounces off the walls
In a way that's so terrifying
The devil himself runs back to hell

Please help, I've lost my direction.

I think relationships
Are like phases of
The moon.
Someone slowly enters
Your life, becomes a big part
And then slowly fades away.

I am a light switch.
Instead of on or off,
It's I love you
Or
I hate you.

You wondered if it was because
You weren't enough.
But I wish I could shake your shoulders
And say,
You were more than enough
So full of life.
You were too much for his small mind
To handle.

One of the most cruel things
You can do to a person,
Is make them fall
Without meaning to catch them.

I can't get enough
Of your Teddy bear love

I will always pick and chose
Which battles I fight
And you will
Never
Be
One of them.

And then you showed up
And discovered a part of me
That I never even knew existed

Sometimes I wonder
Why I even fell for you.
And then I see you smile.
The way it lights up your whole face.
Who cold not
Fall in love with that?

I am a hurricane
And sunshine
All in a bottle

Give me something
Worth living for.

Hey to all of the Beautiful Souls out there!

I got this idea from Wyatt Rabon
To just talk to you guys.
I find a lot of amazing poetry on here
About many different things
And I've been running out of ideas lately
So I was wondering
What got you started on poetry?
Where do you get your inspiration from?
If you wanna let me know,
Or get in touch,
Message me! I love getting messages!
Thanks for reading, and always keep writing!!!

Lots of love,
S.L.

Your words were poison.
But I drank them anyway.
Your touch on my skin,
Almost a week later and I'm
Still trying to wash it off.
I thought you changed.
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me.

As we whisper the word
In the dead of night
Our souls have been
Forever united.

This poetry is slowly
Killing me

We are lucky enough to be a chapter
in the Universe's storybook.
Let's make it a good one
Worth reading!

Come now,
the rain.
Wash the blood off my hands,
wash the scars off my heart.

Will you love me
On the days where I cannot
Love myself?
Will you kiss me
Until my worries fade away?
Will you hold me under the stars
As they fall from the sky?
Will you love me unconditionally
Until we say our last goodbye?

When in doubt,
Stick up the *******
Say
***** it.
This is my life
It's time for me To be happy again

What if all of this has been for nothing?
What if I’m not meant to be saved?

My pen dances across the pages
And as the ink pours from my pen
The pain pours out of me
The paper bursting
Beneath the pen
The burden of the words too heavy to bear.

Let's lay under the moon
As the stars fall from the sky.

Why do we expect
To be made whole again
When we fall in love?
When everything that falls
Winds up broken

Stupid girl, fairytale endings don't exist.

The world is my canvas,
But my hands are shakey  
I have the wrong brush
And my colours aren't clean

It'll all figure out
And it'll all make sense someday
But for now we will just have to
Keep on guessing.

I don't know how to be
Someone that you could love

If a tree falls
And no one is around to hear it
Does it make a sound?
If I'm falling apart on the inside
But no one can tell
Does that mean the pains
Not real?

It's funny how you can lose someone
Who was never even yours.

Tell me, what am I to do
When I’ve run out of stories
To tell about you

I have built a tower out of my fears
To protect me from harm.
I've built a blanket of my loneliness
To keep me warm at night

I'm counting my losses
They are tallied on my skin
But that is not the worst of it
The worst is all within.

You stopped mending your heart
So you could help me mend mine
But I wound up
With some of your pieces.

Everything is fine
Then one Sunday afternoon
The dam between your teeth
Starts to crack
And all my flaws
come pouring from your mouth

You said you loved me,
But you were looking at her
