Tyler Nov 2018
I'll take my own experience,
Wrap it up and tie it in a bow.
I'll take all the things I've felt,
Make it poetic and put it in a show.
I will build walls around my heart,
Then talk about how roses bloom in the cracks.
And I'll tell them how you kisses me where you punched,
But never tell them I punched back.
I will write monologues about the sky
And how it reminds me of your hair
Or perhaps a sonnet
About how I never really cared.
I'll take my abandonment issues and sob stories
Into the palm of my hand
Then crush it into stardust
And try to be the sea glass in a beach full of sand
But no matter how many
Metaphores or analogies I create
I can make words beautiful
But never my feelings fake.
We are poets stuck in a cycle,
Blooming blossoms that never change.
We are artists making art
Out of the beauty of pain.
Tyler Apr 2018
You sat outside,
Cigarette in hand,
And told me the stories of life.
You told me the things,
No one dared to tell,
And blow that smoke into the air.
You cigarette *****.
You showed me that beautiful
Was the scars on skin,
And the dope in veins.
You took the shine in my eyes,
And sold it for your dose.
Talk to me three months ago
And I would of said how much I hated Cigarette Smoke.

But nights get lonely,
And tears will fall,
And I still stand alone.
I put people through ****,
They threw me away,
And when I asked for help it was a nope.
Now in the night sky,
I still see your eyes
And find comfort in cigarette smoke.
Tyler Apr 2018
Don't fall in love with my style,
Or the way I wear my hair.
Don't fall in love with my scars,
Or the makeup I might wear.
Don't fall in love with my skin,
Or my lack of self care.
Fall in love with my voice,
When I'm in awe or fright.
Fall in love with the poetry,
I choose to read and write.
Fall in love with my eyes,
Even if they dim and fade.
And save me from my demons,
And the heart they roughly played.
Just fall in love with me,
And the way I live.
This is all I can be,
And it is all I will give.
Tyler Apr 2018
I used to tell people how much
I wanted to be someone new,
And tear off my skin
Through and through,
But it was only after I started to bleed
Did people see my truth.
Tyler Apr 2018
it's not like
i want to love you
anymore
but not loving you is a war
with my memories of you
at the front of the field.
and you can only fight in a war
for so long
i still hide you in my poetry
~m.razon
Tyler Apr 2018
The best feeling in the world
Is reading
A poem
That speaks to your soul.
That drags out the most unknown parts of your being,
And settles them
In your heart
And puts that sparkle
In your eyes.
And yet,
It will leave you unsettled.
As you hang there,
With all these feelings
That you could never put a name to.
some die looking for a hand to hold
~an unknown street artist
Tyler Mar 2018
There is a small town
On the side of the road
Where the stars are holograms
And the people glow
Come and stay
Have a piece of pie
And just ignore the strings
Attached to the people from the sky
Come to a town
Where Aliens walk free
There always room
For you three.
Just don't look behind you
And shut the door
Put on your tinfoil hat
And ignore the screams galore
There is a small town
On the side of the road
Just outside of the governments reach
Where you realize you aren't alone.
Tyler Mar 2018
We sway and turn
Letting tears fall
To the floor of ever-lasting love.
For you may say,
Not today
But you feel anyway.
Lyrics crowd your head,
As there colors spill out of your mind,
Dripping out of your pores and soaking into your spine.
It's is such a lonely world
You think
As you watch your breath swirl in the cold air
It is all to much
You think
As you stand on this stage playing with your hair.
Sometimes it is to much
To face the people you love,
and sometimes it is to much
To face the people you have outgrown.
But this is a school dance,
And while your touch may send shocks in my heart
I will never break my walls
And give into the sick game.
So let's up just sway and turn
Another poem on a lonely night.
Tyler Mar 2018
I reach
For something to grab
But let my hand
S L I P
And I fall
Into an abyss.

Light
No more
My aching soul
Scratching at my body
Screaming

I wish
For sleep
One thousand years of sleep
Forever waiting for sleep
To calm my existence



Existing can be so tiresome
Do you agree?
Tyler Mar 2018
Maybe when
the nights get old
we can dance through
the streets
as if no lie was ever told.
We will cut our hair lose
dye it the colour of
our pain
Tattoo quotes from the dead,
or the aliens in our brain.
We will set the town on fire,
and leave it ablaze,
driving a long road
and while the night gets old,
our spirits stay young
because as crazy as we are,
we are the generation
of broken ones

Unlucky
Tyler Mar 2018
i am nothing
and a mixture of everything
there for i can never complete anything
sorry mom and dad
Tyler Feb 2018
Maybe
If the light shines bright enough
I can see all.
And when all is ok
I will come out
Of this shell of a body.

Will there be a place for me
A place where I can breath
And
Maybe
Waiting for me,
Will be a million daisies
Or a thousand daffodils
But not a single rose
For roses are to strong
Of
A
Feeling

Light will shine on my skin
The warmth of it's soft kiss with burn
My shedding skin
Away
Leaving me raw,
And okay

But for now
Here I stay
Trapped in a rubber world
And beauty astray
Song~ I know a place
Tyler Feb 2018
I wish to kiss your lips a million times
I want to hold you close and call you mine
I wish I could dive into a sea of your love that was of so kind
But you are gone,
Just before Valentines
Do I still love you?

Tyler Feb 2018
I want to write about you
But I am afraid if I do so,
I will fall in love with you
All over again
My Ravin Haired girl whom I loved very much. I hope you are well on this lonely night.

Red

Red
Red
The color red
In this world of darkness all my fears can take ahold of my dying breath and all I can see are stars and all I can taste is

Red
The color red
I climb through my thoughts, a never ending sea, no one can save me as I paint my body with a beautiful shade of

The color red
Millions of us sit here as all we can do with the panic rushing through our veins is picturing how lovely flowers might look again if we ended it tonight just hoping that at the funeral they will be there crying tears of

The color red
These overflowing words pour out of me like the river that rushes endlessly far out into the night sky and I look above me and see her face and suddenly all I see is

The color red
As nothing will ever define me except the words I write, the words I am chained to, the words that make me fall in love over and over again with the color

Red
The color red
The color of pain and beauty and lust
The color of our souls that are taken ahold of and tossed into a shell that bleeds the color red we are trapped in red everything is red and I turn to see your face and it is

Was blue

We can only dream
Tyler Feb 2018
Maybe there is a place
Far from the people
Who never felt love
And if you just take my hand
We could find our hearts
And leave this toxic town
Free of charge
And free
Of hate
And maybe in that place
We'll be far from the people
And off in the clouds
Dancing by the river
And not make a sound
And in this magical place,
We could love eachother

Things I like
Tyler Feb 2018
Walking on cold concrete barefoot
Going outside at night
Feeling cold wind but average air
Stars
Space
Talking and merging into story telling and endless feelings
Flowers
Flowers at night
Walking on the beach and leaving footprints
Crickets chirping
Pools at night
When you don't have your glasses on and all the street lights merge together
It being so cold the tip of your nose is red and you can see your breath
The moon
Trying to chase a sunset/sunrise
Dancing with your friends and letting lose
Goosebumps when someone says something
Goosebumps when someone touches you
The sound of water running
Birds
Laying somewhere and just staring at the clouds for hours
Being ****** into a book
The sound of thunder
Rain
The smell of rain
The feel of rain
Late afternoon coffee
The sound of cars rushing by
The feeling of peace when writing all alone
Dancing alone in your room blasting music
Flower crowns
Dreams
Trees
Plants
wishes on stars
Deep breaths of cold air

Midnight wishes
Tyler Feb 2018
Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

Star light, star bright
You are the millionth star I've seen tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Shine bright like you tonight

Star light, star bright
The star that never leaves my life
I wish I may
I wish I might
Not feel o'so lonely tonight

Star light, star bright
Sky full of stars I see every night
I wish I may
I wish I might
Understand how you never want to leave the night

Star light star bright
Last star I will see tonight
I wish I may
I wish I might
Just make it through, one more night
Tyler Feb 2018
You always smile like your about to cry,
You always laugh away the lies.
You always hug me,
When I feel ready to die
So why do you keep yourself locked inside?

We stick together, the almost perfect two,
We have to many inside jokes, all of them so true,
We have always failed together so we don't lose,
So why dismiss yourself Luke old news?

Are you afraid of me laughing at you?
Are you angered by the truth?
Or perhaps it's the unknown feelings,
That threaten your youth.

No matter what it is, I will always stand by.
And I am ready to be the shoulder ready for the cries.
Through love, hate, war and  sorrow,
I'll never let you suffer alone,
Even if it means making it to tomorrow.
Today is my best friend's first day of therapy and I found this poem I wrote for her what seems a million years ago. Sending lots of love and hope for her <3

Why can I not love you
Like you love me
Why can I not look you in the eye
Without feeling a turn in my stomach.
You are my good friend,
Within my deepest soul.
But in the way you love me,
I just cannot take its toll.
I fell in love with an idea,
And not the soul you held
I am such a fool
I wish I could love you as well.
There is a boy that is dear to me, I wish I could love him but I sadly cannot. Please help me to figure out how to live in my shame.

Lies
Tyler Jan 2018
I'm sick of it all.
I'm sick of the lies.
I'm sick of the ******* people
Saying that I'm fine
I'm sick of not feeling anything
And sick of suddenly crying.
I'm sick of the society that keeps sending  people running and lying.

Lies
Terrible lies.
Lies that just wrap people up and turn them into beautiful fake  butterflies.
How can a butterfly fly, knowing some day it's going to die?
Knowing some day someone will say 'hey maybe we could **** that guy'.

Death and life.
Sometimes tragic sometimes a peace of mind.
Both can be both or neither at the same time.

But everyone will keep screaming 'it's just in your mind'
When you know ******* well it's just in your mind.
A mind created by a world that is not kind.
A world that will **** you if you try to shine.
If you try to shine and you are not the beautiful butterfly.
That society created out of your lies.
And now it's back again,
Back to the lies

Scars
Tyler Jan 2018
A cigarette burns, late at night. While you really should be holding onto your child so tight. Why is it everything we could of ever had, was washed down the drain all because we were mad? And now the little run comes running to me, tears staining her little eyes where the innocence you took from her should of lied. 'This is what I did' you said as you ran a knife down your leg, little did you know your 'big girl' would soon do the same. You made our dad cry when he was sober and when he wasn't he felt like everything was over. And now your closest daughter is closed off from a world that never gave her anything but the lies you told, 'I will be here forever'. There is no getting better, look at the coffin that lies down six feet under, a coffin to small for a baby girl to hide in, but there she is. And all you ever did was leave us with your words in the wind.
And yet I still miss you

A little friend
Tyler Jan 2018
I just want a friend
To laugh with in the night
To call when I'm worried
Just someone to
t a l k

But maybe that's to much to ask.
Maybe just a simple person,
Who I can talk to
Is to little of a request
But to much of a wish

Little kids
Tyler Jan 2018
Maybe parents
Never accuse
Never hate
Never ignores
Little kids
Because when
We are older
We are already
Who we are
But little kids
Can still grow
And parents
Can still think
That they will
Become
What never became
Of us
I don't really know. As someone who as been given high expectations just because I'm older and then having to let them all down it can get hard. But what part of life isn't, right?
Tyler Jan 2018
If silence
Cannot cry
At pictures
Of
It's ex
That you are not
Supposed to have feeling for
Anymore
And
Doesn't have to worry
About
The world around them
Being
Fake
And
Rubber
And how much
You aren't
Supposed to care
About
Anything
This poem was inspired by the poems a girl writes in the book I Crawl Through It

Tell me a lie
Tyler Jan 2018
Lie to me.
Tell me I will be ok
Tell me how beautiful I look
I just want you,
To lie to me.
Say that you will never give me up again
Say that I don't annoy you guys
Because maybe if someone told me this,
Even as a lie,
I would believe it
And fell fine

One more night
Tyler Jan 2018
I hold onto this thought
This fatal, poisoning thought.
This idea no one knows.
No one thinks about, which only makes it grow.
Even now,
When you all thought I let go.
One more night
One more day
One more breath
Then repeat.
I keep telling myself
One more day
And at this point
It is the only thing keeping me alive.


One more night

Words
Tyler Jan 2018
Why is it
That the strongest words,
The words that Haunt our souls
The words that build up until they spill out of your eye sockets,
The words that constantly repeat in your mind,
Are the ones that can never be expressed.
Thoughts on the way back from L.A.

I wish
Tyler Jan 2018
I wish I had more volume in my hair.
That's not that bad, right?
I wish I didn't have acne
And I wish my tummy was a little flatter.
i wish I didn't wobble when I walk,
I wish I didn't jiggle when I run.
It's not that bad.
I wish I didn't have plane brown eyes.
I wish I held onto secrets,
I wish I had more depth
I wish all these things
All these things that make up me were not me.

I wish to scar.
I wish to unlove as fast as I fall in.
I wish to have some sort of story behind my eyes behind the words that flow out of my mouth because even for me I'm nothing.

Because in the end,
I wish we all weren't just nothing's.

Pretty people
Tyler Jan 2018
I don't wanna be pretty

"When your pretty, everyone loves you." That's what everyone told me. Now I am pretty. Now I am a flirt, heart breaker, thot, ***, and heartless. I have been called all those things. Some are true. I have learned that pretty is terrible. I can be an awful person but people will still love me. I can lie, and people will love me. Being pretty is bad. All everyone wants to do is have *** with me. They don't care that there is more to me than what they see. Inside, I am a kind person. I love singing and dancing. I love theatre and musicals. I am good at playing piano and ukulele. I love drawing and music. I love sports and I am really good at them. I am a sensitive and compassionate person. My question is why don't they want to see that side of me? I assure you that you would love to. But you refuse and tell me " Its a good thing your pretty." Yeah, I know I am, but I want to to compliment on how kind I am. But you don't see it or you ignore it. I am not a statue or picture. I am not there for your viewing pleasure. I am not there for your intimate desires. I am there to be kind and loving. I am there because I think you are different than the other guys. But most of you are all the same. I have made bad choices because I had feelings for you. I can't take them back. If I could, I totally would. Being pretty has ruined my reputation, relationships, and my decisions. I don't wanna do that life style anymore. I am going to try to stop being pretty. No more makeup, no more selfies, and no more boyfriends. I don't care if you hate me or "love" me. Either way, I am not being pretty anymore. Hopefully, you will eventually love me cause of my personality. I will see you when I am 16. Bye now.
Pretty people
In a not-so pretty world
Pretty people
Wearing diamonds and pearls
Pretty people
Expectations low
Pretty people
With a curse on their soul

To all Poets
Tyler Jan 2018
It's weird. You go on living. The world around you moves. It's like every day. Every breath. Maybe that's what it is, what you breath. There is this feeling. It's almost like a flutter. Like the wold just tells you- "stop. Look at what I made for  y o u  I did this. Now do what you will with what I made". And you do. You take this, this feeling the world around you gave, and make art. The feeling, the
r u s h, it's indescribable. Yet here I am, trying to describe it. This art you make, this feeling that courses throughout your veins, it feels so real and yet it is so much more than this world. So much more that the sky above your mind, more than the ground beneath your feet, more than the blood running through you. How can something,this feeling,  be so much more than everything yet be nothing? Art. It is so beautifully composed, isn't it?
The stars,
The city,
The sunshine,
Golden hair,
Everything is so beautiful
Yet people can make it so ugly.

Storm
Tyler Jan 2018
There are storms ahead.
Always was
And always will be.
Lightning my strike some,
Others will be deafened by  thunder.
There is no eye of the storm,
Only the constant state of panic.

It may see there is no where to go,
Stuck
In a endless storm,
Just trying to ride it out
Clinging to the hope it will end soon.

But you are not alone
With the endless amounts of fear and pain
you are not alone
With the world falling apart around you
You are not alone
With the pain in your heart growing
You are not alone
With the tears streaming down your cheeks
You are not alone

Life may be hell
With a storm at hand
And there will always be others to come.
But with a crew ready to follow you into the unknown,

You are not alone

Dysphoria
Tyler Dec 2017
I look down
There is my body that is a stranger to me
I look back up
Seeing the world through these plain, brown eyes that happen to be mine.
Seeing
Observing
Nothing is really mine.
It can't be.
Life feels like a dream that my soul moves through
Dragging the capsule known as my body with us.
This can't be me.
Nothing feels real
As if I will wake up one morning
And everything will
Just
Feel
Right.
And my place, in life, will finally be mine

Disappeared
Tyler Dec 2017
What would you do
If the world around us suddenly disappeared
Would you hold me close?
Would you tell the truth?
Or would you keep living your lie?

All we know,
Is how to long for a touch
That is no longer ours
and in silence,
Watching the fire grow bright.

You watch the world around you
Slowly fall apart
Holding onto nothing
In fear it will shatter at your touch

You live, you love, you laugh, you cry
But the pain seems to ride out them all

And now the world has disappeared
Because I have chosen to die

The City
Tyler Dec 2017
The city is burning
Every street and every block
The city is burning
Yet nothing will stop

I see the fire
It burns my skin
And every breath I take just inhales more smoke

Does no one seem to notice,
The world around me burning?
The scars on my flaming skin?

The world is so blind
To the pain the fire can cause
And no one cares to notice at all.

The city is burning
I go up in flames
The city is burning
But everything is still the same

Suicide Ideation
Tyler Dec 2017
Death
Such a funny concept
The people who say they would take their own lives if you took yours
Almost to quickly
Most you know are fibs
Others may be true
You ponder about death
So many times a day
Almost a routine.
You scare the person who loves you the most
And you do it again

Clutching onto yourself
Shaking violently in the shower
A simple thought
It was just a simple thought
Only one persons words could ever calm your soul
But your hands are to afraid to reach out
Because as a child if we reached out at the wrong time
A slap would correct our behavior

But they are worried about you
They care
You are to scared to bother them
But the simple words still mean you're alive

Death is almost funny
To you and me it's almost like a game
A topic that can bring tears
And still strikes it's pain
I saw you cry that day
As my thoughts were racing on
You know I've never tried it
So why did you think it was so wrong?
I held you close and tight
And made sure everything was alright

You make them promise to stay
When even you can't promise the same.

To unlove someone
Tyler Dec 2017
To unlove someone is to travel back in time
To unlove someone is to take back all the tears
To unlove someone is to remember them as they once were
To unlove someone is to ******* watch all your hopes and dreams get washed away as you put yourself through the pain of just waking up in the morning to see their face.
And yet you have a better chance of touching the stars
Then you do of filling the cracks in your heart
To unlove someone is to rip away all the joyess memories
To unlove someone is to let go of a life you could of had
To unlove someone is to stop the passion in your veins
But it will forever be impossible
To regain something you gave away so carefree
And with the bits and pieces of my heart you once fonded over
I give it back to you once more
In hopes it can restore the shattered pieces of yours

— The End —
