i think its funny
when those who
get the largest parts
in plays,
only can act on stage.

its amazing
how i am surrounded
by so many actors.
the ones who can put
on a smile,
but are dying on the inside.

and the ones who
seem like the kindest
of those around me,
but end up sending
sending hurtful letters
to those who are dying
on the inside.

and then there are mothers
and fathers,
who seem to be giving
their children
perfect lives,
but when no eyes seem
to be watching,
they give them bruises
and say harsh things.
which causes the children
to send those letters,
which cause other children
to feel like
they are dying inside.

it just makes me wonder
why,
don't these hidden actors
ever audition
for the biggest parts,
when they hide,
the biggest lies.
"from the minute
i knew i loved you,
i was jealous of
the fact that you are
so confident.
and i don't blame you,
because you have
every reason,
to believe in yourself."

and he replied,
"and from the moment
i knew i loved you,
i was so confused
to why you
were completely
and utterly
insecure,
and i do blame you,
because you have
no reason
not to
believe in yourself."
I wrote this poem a couple years ago, and even then, I didn't quite feel anything. Years after it was written, I met a boy who made me understand the writing I initially didn't get in the first place. I finally found beauty in my writing because of the love I found in someone else. Thank you. You mean the world to me.
i just want you know
that you are beautiful
and i love you
more than the sun
could ever love the moon.

i know these are just a few
fragile words,
but you deserve to hear them.
i know we go through
times of obscureness
and insecurities,
and times when it feels
like we are

but please,
do not let these words escape from
your beautiful mind:
that you are strong, delightful, and lovely
as could be;
for it hurts me to see
you lose that very thought.

thank you for sharing such beautiful
(both of happiness and of heartache)
memories with me.
i know there will come a time
when we must leave each other
to achieve and meet our dreams,
but please don't forget me,
because i promise
to keep you in my heart
until the end of time.
thank you,
for inspiring me
and sharing such
unforgettable moments with me.
love,
me.
for my beautiful best friend.

My eyes closed...
Invasive thoughts -
Somber mind,
Silhouette of those lips...

Your taste on my toungue -
Our love entangled,
Us; Together...
My not so hidden message. I sleep to dream of you, and wake wishing it were true.

There was a dream.
In the dream he was leaving, but not forever.
He would be back she knew that.
Still, she did not want him to go.
She hugged him, he held her, explained to her, and promised he would be back soon.
Something was still not convincing to her.
He leaned forward and gently kissed her as tears fell from her eyes.

That's all she needed.

Who knew though that in a couple of months she would be the one leaving and this time for long,
But  forever.
How can she explain this to him?
would only a kiss be enough?
They say remember the feeling of your dreams.
The emotion of any dream is the key.
Cities Dot The World Below Me,
Their Lights Reflecting Off Translucent Smog,
The Trees Wave To Me In My Flight,
As Mountains And Canyons Bellow From My Sound,
I Am In The Middle Of The Sky,
Just A Couple Thousand Feet Away From The Stars,
If Only These Wings Could Take Me A Bit Higher,
Then That--Would Be Flight,
Miles Pass By In Seconds Below My Lifted Body,
As My Eyes Hold Millions Of People Imbetween Weary Glances,
Pressurized Air Fills My Earthenware Like Lungs,
As My Ears Pop With Unsatisfying Pain,
Is This How Airborn Embers Feel?
And As I Fade Into The Impending Night,
My Reflection Disappears In The Atmosphere's Haze,
Graceful As The Clouds Underneath Me
This Was Just A Quick Poem I Wrote 30,000 Feet Above The Ground
You Forced Me To Look Into The Lense,
Your Masculine Hand Clenched Around My Neck,
As You Tried To Force A Cigarette Into My Mouth,
Your Blonde Hair Blue From The Moon,
Your Skin A Slate Bluish-Grey From The Dark,
I Thrashed To Get Away From Your Grip,
But Your Weight On Top Of Me Pinned Me Down
Fear Squirmed In My Veins As I Tried To Yell,
But All That Came Out Was A Whimper,
You Looked Into My Eyes--Your's Black,
Black As A Sharks Expanded Pupils,
And All I Could Do, All I Could Bare To Do,
Was Cry
Just A Nightmare Of Someone--Half True
I am creativity,
Wanting to create something beautiful
But without inspiration
I am nothing but
A spotless piece of paper.

A dull mind kills me,
Inch by inch it erases
Every source of creation
Stored in my memory.

It shuts every bright emotion
That I keep in my frail heart,
And replaces it with a boring void,
Filled with nothing but
Suffocating air of blank.
Been feeling uncreative lately. I want to write a poem or paint but no idea comes up. It's like I'm stuck and my creative juices are turning dull.
