I've always known you.
For the past few months, you're all i've experienced.
I saw another though,
he sparked my interest.
You thought I was replacing you,
but I would never.
I was merely exploring different things.
He was nothing like I had ever experienced.
Rough and tough and soft and meek,
all at the same time.
Nothing like the broken little heart of yours.
I was infatuated by every aspect of his being.
The way he walked, talked, functioned, and gleamed.
You spent your time crying for me to come back.
But I wanted him now, and he wanted me.
You left me.
You wanted me to be with you more than you wanted me happy.
You forgot all the memories we made.
The afternoons we spent together,
and the songs we sang as loud as we possibly could.
You left it all, because he made me happy in a way you could not.
I love him, and you can't stand it.
I guess you're gone now.
I'm not sure if our paths will ever cross again,
but in case they do...
I would have never left you,
he still makes me happy,
but I still would have made time for you.
He's here to stay, of that I am sure.
So goodbye, forever.
You don't need me anymore.

This is my first poem, so please be gracious.

Afraid

You were born with potential.
No one was in your way.
Courage.
Strength.

Why now are you holding back?
You're far to incredible.
Did that popular girl say something mean?

I can't do anything.
You have to realize on your own.
Who you are is completely incredible.
Why don't you let her come out for a while?

The ones that are worth it won't leave you.
They will only love you that much more.
Lovely, don't be afraid of this world.
It's here to scare you.
Step away and realize you're much better.

The Mask I Wear

The Mask I Wear

I go day by day trying to please the people around me,
But what is it for,
So they won’t criticize me and put me down,
Or is it to fulfill a deeper subconscious need of approval.
I don’t understand why I must do these things for other people,
I always say I am going to live my life for myself and nobody else.
Judgment is without a doubt one of this world’s biggest fear,
Because judgment means failure,
And failure means to be a social pariah.
Does the outcast have the group of friends that will accept him for what he does and who he is?
Nobody wants to be left behind and spend his or her life alone.
But in reality we are never alone, we are with the greatest friend of all.
The only person that I should have a need of approval from
Is God
And due to the paradigm that our society is in now,
To only accept judgment from God is an option that few people accept.
We must fit in and conform to the social norms to prevent us from becoming outcasts.
What has happened to humanity?
Putting down anybody that is different from everybody else.
I preach this message but I fail to follow it as well.
We pass judgment to cover up our own flaws.
The flaws that we live with everyday make us vulnerable,
And vulnerability means that we are not as perfect as our peers may think,
But I am trying to wrap this idea around my head that vulnerability shouldn’t be a tool for others to persecute,
It should be used to grow strong from and build that relationship with the one true friend that everyone has.
The problem for many people have is with letting God into their hearts and letting him witness their vulnerabilities.
The mask we wear for the people around
Does not give rest to our soul when we are deep in the ground.
I challenge the people to live one day for them.
Do not allow anyone to persecute their actions or judge their life.
Because in the end,
The individual is all that matters.

To Cookie And Harold

I know that my Mom misses you a lot
And that she loves you both so very much
And I know that I miss you a lot
Because I loved you both so very much
Dearest Cookie, I sometimes see thy face
Floating somewhere in my -yes- memory
Dearest Harold I sometimes see thy face
In my mind when I remember dear you
O! I'd love to hold you on my lap now
And kiss you until my lips feel parched and dry
O, this is not quite a Sonnet, I know
But I still want to write my feelings down
My feelings of
Y.O.U*

Lovingly dedicated to our two precious cats, Cookie and Harold. They had to be sent away to a no **** humane society and now our hearts are broken! ~</3

Throwing Paper Airplanes

Throwing Paper Airplanes

They fly through the sky
And land who knows where?
They land in creeks and streams
In ponds and rivers
And in trees
Yet never frightened of their fate
Throwing paper airplanes through the wind
Where will they go?
Where will they land?
Some land in seas or in oceans
Others land in bushes
Or in hedges
In thunderstorms they're never frightened
Or afraid
Even when it rains
It still flies through the air
Sailing on the wind or the rain
Sailing past the rain and the thunderstorms
Caught up somewhere in the wind
Landing on trees or any where
Oh, how brave you are
Never to shed a tear once
No matter what your fate is
Never trembling at the thunder
When its too loud
Nor hiding from the dismal rain
But instead you fly through the air
And land who knows where?
I think its most poetical to describe
Paper airplanes on the wind
And to pen their beauty which
Sometimes makes me cry
Who knows where you will land
Except for God
Who knows where you'll go
Except God
Where will you go?
Where will you be?
Out on the river or floating on the sea?
Throwing paper airplanes
Who knows where they will go?

Birds fly home to rest
The sun sinks behind the sky
The dear sunset fades
Ev'ning turns to the sweet Night
Fairies dance under the Moon

You wanna know the best thing about us? It's the world we own. We never shared it to the crowd. Or to anyone. Inside, it's just you and me and uneven breath between us.

And it has always been enough.

The Little Dreamcatcher

Untitled.

We stand under the starry sky asking,
Did we see the stars fade its light
When we gaze upon them in awe?

We lay on the sand staring to the sky asking,
Did we feel the burn of the sun
When we let its warmth comfort us in the morning?

We dived into the cool waters asking,
Did we feel the crash of the waves
When we we let the water envelope us in calm?

We stand alone in each other's world asking,
Did we feel our hearts already breaking
When we fell in love with each other?
