I've already let you in.
It's been done.
No going back.
But;
You've hurt me.
Just a little.
But that's all it takes.
A tiny crack,
Then it gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

Stop it before it gets to bad ok?
I'm TRUSTING you.
Please.
I DON'T want to be hurt.

What is the meaning of life?
To be or not?
Caitlin Jan 2016
A weight has been lifted off my shoulders
I can finally breath again.
No more stressing about the little things,
I'ts time to focus on the bigger picture
Caitlin Dec 2014
Be my guest
I write to remember that
I have emotion.
Its not my intention
to be liked at all.
Yeah I'd like to
be loved if its possible.

By: thebelljar*

This is me.
I could not have said it better.
I stay hidden,
But I'd like to be noticed.
This is my dream.
Caitlin May 2015
I long to be loved.
I think everyone does,
But I've been looking for it in all the wrong places.
Maybe I need to look closer to home....
Myself
Caitlin Apr 2015
Please,
I know that
If you look into my eyes,
You will see all the unshed tears
and the pain of what you caused.
And I know that you'd fix this pain that I feel.
So please look into my eyes..
Caitlin Aug 2014
Why does it feel
Like I'm LOST...

Without you near?
Caitlin Apr 2016
I'm so lost without you.
Come back to me?
Caitlin Apr 2015
I'm tired of putting my heart on the line when all I get is pain.
But I know that I will continue to love anyways.
Caitlin Nov 2014
I deserve better than this, don't I?

All I'm asking....

*Is for someone to love me back
Caitlin Jul 2015
I'm sorry that I love you..
Just don't hurt my heart because You can't give it back.
Caitlin Aug 2014
Is it a crime to want someone to hold my hand,
To kiss me and text me goodnight??
Caitlin Jul 2014
I love you
More than I love myself

It *****.
Caitlin Feb 2015
Love doesn't die,
It simply fades or grows.
It can fade away to nothingness,
But as soon as you see that picture,
Or hear that song,
You are filled with the past and the love you had.
Or it can grow,
Where it consumes your thoughts and every waking moment is spent thinking and wondering..
Love doesn't die,
It expands and changes,
And LIVES
I just got done watching this musical, let me tell you- it is awesome. The songs are magical and the acting is phenomenal. You should see it. That's where I got the inspiration for this poem, Enjoy!
Mad
Caitlin Mar 2014
Mad
I am mad
Mostly
At myself

I could have
Done something
Yet I chose
Not to

Why?
I don't know
Why did I not
Do anything?

I am mad
At me, myself
And I

I chose not to act
On my beliefs and ideas
On my viewpoint
To help

Why?
I was afraid

Simpy afraid
me

If I give you my heart
Will you protect it?
Caitlin Jan 2017
So, I learned today that I minimize my own pain and hurt for someone else's
Not to belittle myself, but to be more compassionate of the other person
And that little tidbit of info, really changed my perspective of a lot of things..
Caitlin Aug 2015
I want to look in the mirror
And see what others see in me.
What makes me so special?
What makes me so different?
What makes me wear my heart on my sleeve?
What makes me me?
Caitlin May 2015
At the age of 16,
I am a mother.
Now they are not own kids.
I didn't give birth to them.
But I am their mother.

They are those I take under my wing.
Those to who I give love unconditionally.
Those who I hold while they cry.
They are my kids.

Happy Mother's Day!
To those who are mothers,
To those giving birth,
To those barren yet love others.

To those who are single dads,
Because you are mothers in your own way.
To the grandmothers, and aunts.
To the mother-in-laws.

To the daughters and sons,
Who no longer have there mothers in flesh.
To the orphans and broken.
To you.

Happy Mother's Day
Because face it,
We've all acted as a mother in one way or another.
Caitlin Jan 2014
Music is my life.
I know I've said that a million times
But it is. All of me is music
You will never catch me in a moment
when I'm not humming lyrics or singing or playing my horn.
Music is also, my escape.
The thing I turn to when I'm falling apart inside.
It's also one of my biggest problems.
Caitlin May 2014
You know how in the cartoons
The main character has,
When making a decision.
A devil and an angel
On either shoulder

Well, lately
I think that I have one
But my story has to go back..

I've always had my angel
Since I was little.
But it wasn't until high school
Where I met my devil

He impacted my life hugely.
Then my angel started to fall
for this devil.

I know it sounds cheesy
But my angel knew
that he was a devil
But she chose to sit back
And see where he leads

Angel eventually fell in love.
With what she knew about the devil
And she didn't question it.

Then our story takes an interesting turn-
The devil left.
Abruptly, without a word
The angel was devastated

She didn't know what to do.
She was stuck

She sat and tried to figure
Out what she had to do.
She picked herself up
And simply moved on.

But it's not as it was that simple.
She still though of the devil
Every single day.
Whether it be intentional
Or not.
She still cringed at the thought
Of him doing the same thing to someone else.
Someone else falling to his charms
She still wept.
She still fell apart.

*But my angel is still there
Caitlin Mar 2015
My life revolves around fear,
I am afraid to be known.
I am afraid of being me.
I am afraid of letting people down.
I am afraid of becoming a good player.
Why am I so afraid????
Based on something that happened to me on Monday night..
Caitlin Jan 2015
I hate my life.
I can say that honestly.
Nothing goes right for me..
Not love, Not family,
Nothing.

I hate it.
I'm avoiding my family right now.. They just don't get it.
Caitlin Jul 2014
My Love,
I wish I knew who you are.
Caitlin
I believe in soul mates and the fact the most of us have a special someone waiting for us in the world, and maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic, but I hope that I'll find my Prince Charming...
Caitlin Jul 2015
Why are you coming to my thoughts?
The crushes, small time romances, the guys I liked.
Why am I thinking of you???
Caitlin Aug 2014
I have lost my muse.
What to do now?
I have writers block.... it's terrible. Someone help- please?
Caitlin Jun 2015
I am frustrated with myself.
Mainly because I know I can do so much better than what I am.
But there's always fear that holds me back.
Fear of messing up,
Of disappointment.
Of letting people down.
Of failing.
I can't let that happen.
I won't let that happen.
Caitlin Dec 2014
Because of what we shared
      You will always have
               *A piece of my heart
Caitlin Sep 2015
I'm singing on Sunday,
I'm a nervous wreck.
It's bad....
Caitlin Jan 2016
As I enter into 2016, I find myself wondering.
Where will this year take me?
Where will I be lead to go?
For college? For life?
And as I'm wondering I can't help but smile,
Because the future is full of mysteries;
But I'm talking it one day at a time.
No.
Caitlin Aug 2015
No.
I will not cry.
I will not cry.
I will not let my emotions get the best of me.
Not again.
Caitlin Apr 2015
I have to get rid of my comfort zone
To stop being afraid.
To step out of thus box that I've built around me.
And I know I'll cry and I'll be crushed.
But I have to.
I have to.
Caitlin Nov 2014
I am not perfect
Though I strive to be.

Sorry.
Now
Caitlin Jun 2015
Now
I am broken.. what now?
I don't think I can rebuild myself....
Caitlin May 2014
I beleive that I have become so numb to the pain that when I have a tidal wave of emotions coming at me...

I become afraid.
And I usually break down..
Caitlin Jan 2015
Why can"t anybody love me?
Caitlin Nov 2016
I've been told that I care too much.
And this is actually true.
My heart is too big,
Too open,
Too willing to simply give.
That I need to pull back some,
I come off too strong.

Its very hard for me to hate someone,
It's just something that I do.
You can hurt me,
Way down in my core,
Emotionally, Physically, Mentally
But You will still have part of my heart.

Some people say that this isn't good,
that its a curse.
How so?
I love people,
Yes, maybe more than I should.
But do people complain about loving too much?
Shouldn’t we be more concerned about those that aren’t loved enough?
Those that go through life broken, and damaged?

I am simply one person,
Who cares.
A lot for the people around me.
Strangers, people I’ve only met briefly,
Friends since birth, and yes,
Even you.
Caitlin Feb 2015
I'm avoiding you.
I'm perfectly aware of that.
I know exactly what you're going to say,
Why are you being so distant?
And you know exactly why.
I don't want to break down in front of you.
I don't want to seem weak in your eyes.
I want you to act first...
I need you to speak up.
And even though avoidance is a little low of me to do,
I can't breathe when you are near..
I can't think when we hug.
That how bad this feeling is of heartbrokenness..
Caitlin Feb 2015
What does that word even mean?
Its optional?
What's optional?
Does that mean that I can chose not to do it and not get hurt?
Or will I still get hurt?

I'm so confused.
Caitlin May 2014
Sometimes I wish
That some things in life
Are optional
Caitlin Jul 2015
I pace.
When I am confused,
Sad,
Overthinking,
I pace
Caitlin Feb 2015
It hurts when the people closest to you,
Don't even care.
*Thanks Mom and Dad
