Authenticity
Xio Jan 7
It's always easier to lie when the truth hurts, but maybe the brutal truth is better than an easy lie. A flower can't grow without rain and sun.

Ordinary
Xio Jan 3
It's easy to love a flower, but it takes a lot to love a leaf. It's ordinary to love the beautiful, but it's beautiful to love the ordinary.

Silent Surrender
Xio Feb 25
If you don't fight for what you want, don't cry for what you've lost.

Running From Death
Xio Feb 26
I locked the doors, I shut them tight, I hid away, I killed the light.
But through the cracks, so thin, so wide, I heard him laugh, "You cannot hide."

Risk
Xio Mar 11
Love is like giving someone a gun pointed directly at your heart and hopping they won't shoot.

Their Loss, Not Yours
Xio Mar 18
Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.
Xio Feb 26
I move, it moves, it follows tight, It shifts, it sways, just out of sight.
But when I left, it stayed behind, And in its place, I’m trapped inside
Xio Mar 4
I am not a villain. They shouldn't have treated me like one.

Ghosted
Xio Feb 26
They vanished fast, left me behind, A living ghost, just not the kind-
That haunts the halls and slams the door, but one that no one sees anymore.
64 · Feb 26
Whispering Shadows
Xio Feb 26
The night is cold, the moon is high, A shadow moves, it breathes a sigh.
You turn to run, but feet won't go, The whisper calls—you'll never know.
63 · Jan 7
Change
Xio Jan 7
Every second, every minute, every hour, everyday, is a chance to change, don't think you can't just because you don't want to.

Disguised
Xio Feb 28
There are so many monsters in this world, and they're all humans.

Not Alone
Xio Feb 26
I hear the steps, the distant sound, Yet when I turn, there’s nothing found.
But something’s breathing, soft and slow—It knows my name. It lets me know.

Art
Xio Dec 2024
Art
Yes, you never looked nice. You looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make people feel something.

Xio Mar 4
I forgive a lot, but I never forget what's done and said.

Memories
Xio Jan 30
The thing that hurts even more than loosing them, is remembering all the good times we've had together.
61 · Jan 22
Love
Xio Jan 22
Love is like a fire, warming your soul,
But it burns if you’re careless, devours you whole.
It whispers of joy, then it shouts out in pain,
A dance in the sunshine, a kiss in the rain.

It’s giving your heart with no guarantee,
A ship on the waves, adrift on the sea.
Yet still, we all chase it, though it cuts like a knife,
For love, in its sorrow, gives meaning to life.
61 · Jan 28
Unbothered
Xio Jan 28
Confidence is not "will they like me?"
It's "I'll be fine if they don't."
60 · Feb 26
The Hole in the Sky
Xio Feb 26
A crack above, so thin, so wide, It calls, it pulls, it yawns inside.
The sky is wrong, the stars aren’t true—And now it’s reaching down for you.

Overshadowed
Xio Feb 25

Already Gone
Xio Feb 26
I turned to flee, but froze instead, For where I stood, my body bled.
My breath was gone, my voice was too—And death just sighed, “I followed you.”

When Heaven Lies
Xio Feb 28
Be careful who your trust, the devil was once an angel.

Flawless
Xio Dec 2024
Something's missing in my chest, I think I need a medic, I've been looking for a flaw in you, I don't really get it, you don't evеn know you're flawless, and it's giving me a hеadache

Mistake
Xio Dec 2024
If you repeat a mistake, it's not a mistake, it's a decision, no one can repeat a mistake unless they wanted to.

Winter
Xio Dec 2024
The wind sings a whisper through the trees, a haunting tune of winter's breeze. Frost paints patterns on the glass, echoes of the season's past.

Snowflakes dance in the pale moonlight, a quiet ballet in the night. Stars twinkle in the velvet sky, as winter's melody drifts by.

Fireplaces crackle with a warm embrace, homes alight with a cozy space. The world outside in white repose, as winter's song gently flows.

Wrong and Right

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what can go right.

You
Xio Dec 2024
You
Your smile is like a sun, it brightens my day, your voice is like the wind, it sways me away, you think you're another person, but I see a star, you think you need to change how you act, but I love the way you are.

Resilience.

Perseverance

Broken

I'll give them my heart, they'll break it in a second, and yet here I am, still missing their presence.

Scars of Time
Xio Jan 27
Time doesn’t heal wounds; it only teaches you how to live with them. Once glass is broken, it can never truly be glued back together.

Unspoken
Xio Mar 4
Tears are words the heart can't say.

Reality
Xio Jan 13
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Vampires
Xio Jan 19
They roam where shadows softly fall,
Silent whispers, pale and tall.
With eyes that gleam like a dying star,
They watch, they wait, from near and far.

Their touch is cold, their breath is still,
A promise sweet, a deadly thrill.
Eternal nights, they choose to roam,
For blood is life, and dark their home.

Buried Alive
Xio Feb 25
The worst kind of ghost is the one that still breathes, forgotten, but never dead.

Unheard

Proven
Xio Feb 3
Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it's about the person who walked in your life, said "I'm here for you." And proved it.

Thoughts In Silence
Xio Jan 13
The room still, the silence so loud,
The peace and quite, not a single sound,
My thoughts fill, the void of the room,
As my mind leaves Earth, and travels to the moon.

I close my eyes, my head leaned against the wall,
As I think of the universe, the Earth feels small,
The silence filling the rooms emptiness,
My mind traveling far, into the abyss.

True Colours
Xio Mar 4
People don't change, they either show who they really are or just stay how they always were.
