you
Can you still see me

Standing in this dark room

Talking to the memory of you

Your hand is back in my hair

The love is still there

Just like you never left

But that is not my life

I couldn't sit pretty

To let you create a pretty lie

And now I'm here and for all I know..

You may have died.
Cassian 5d
Close my eyes

Take a hard look inside

Time to face my memories

I'm so scared of what I'll see

Shielding my eyes from images of sunbeams

Removing fake perceptions like lowly weeds

I need to see my past to get a future

One where you and me are together

So I'll let myself fall deep

Choking as old feelings take root inside me

But I'm not nearly done yet

For you I'll stare into the sun

I would lasso the moon

Just to see a smile from you
Cassian Jan 29
Sometimes I feel

I'm running out of time

Smiling but drowning in

Insecurity inside

Only with you, I don't have to hide

The only one in which

I confide

Complimenting everyone I meet

Actually meaning it is a rare feat

For I and all human beings

Are two sides of the same coin

What we show others and what we dont

Red string of fate
Cassian Jan 24
Memories hiding in the back of my mind

Feeling at ease whenever you're by my side

In the shadows, our past seems to hide

Our realities are mixing, and our fates collide

Give me a hand
Cassian Jan 16
I am not perfect

I do not fit inside the box

For I decided to be the box

If I were a line I would not be straight

I do not believe in destiny;

Though I romanticize fate

My favorite animal may be a wolf;

Though I identify more with a cat or a fox

And everyone who knows me seems to like me alright

My boss always says I'm doing fine

But if I wasn't, would it be such a crime?

I try to do my best when I can

But there's only so much more I can stand...

Can someone give me a hand?

Questions
Cassian Jan 9
My life

My love

My loyalty

You've got it all

What else to you want from me?

Just watch me fall

I can see your eyes on me

Hello to the demon

Standing down the hall

The bane of my existence

Or the reason I'm here after all?

If I'm in trouble

Who should I call?

Looking back
Cassian Jan 9
Looking back

Laughing at the past

Feeling less like trash

Looking back

Watching the flames burn

Falling in the ash

Looking back

Data overload the computer

Starts to crash

But I'm still looking back

Fall down
Cassian Jan 6
Down like the ashes

My heart sinks now

My happiness fading

As dread starts to grow

You may be moving

I wish you wouldn't go

My heart

A place for you is in my heart

A hole forms when we're apart

Your hand is all mine needs

As you're more important

Than the very air I breathe

the maze in my heart
Cassian Dec 2024
I'm so confused

Scars mar my heart

Unsure of which path

Would be right to chose

I'm tired of being used

I gave you my options

But you simply refused

My mentality I feel you

Purposefully abused

I dont want your love

Dislike your attention

Do everything I can

To push away your affection

Boy get the hint because

I'm not going back in time

To when you treated me like ****

Rainy day
Cassian Dec 2024
The seasons never cease to change

Flowing as I sit with my hood down

In the rain washing away unjust notions

Cold little drops kissing my skin

Breathing deep this wet wind

Imagining it erasing all of my sins

Feeling the healing mist

As my pulse thuds in my wrist

About love
Cassian Dec 2024
Senseless

People tell me falling in love would be

Senseless

Saying it only leads to heartbreak and

Shame

Ruining friendships that'll never be the

Same

What a shame

But if love would be senseless

Why do people fall everyday?

Is there an unspoken rule saying that

It's ok

To finally choose to change

A rainy day in December
Cassian Dec 2024
Outside it is cold and wet

Muddy puddles cover the ground

As I wait on this icey blue bench

To be taken to the warmth of my home

Where I'll be safe and sound

"Bullies"
Cassian Dec 2024
Laughing internally

As three boys ask for my number

In a dumb attempt to bully me

They think they're the smart ones here

Trying that right after school

Though my parents did not raise a fool

Those wannabe "bullies" should go be

Busy worrying about finals instead of me

Traumatic
Cassian Dec 2024
Traumatic

The teacher assumes the final will be traumatic.

Does she even know what that word means?

Perhaps she does not so it seems.

Traumatic

I believe I have experienced trauma before

From people, family, and simply from me

Causing me to hide behind a mask they cant see

Mother, dearest
Cassian Dec 2024
Mother, dearest

I think you pretend to love me

You live so far away

Leaving your lost child to watch

Watching for a message that never comes

Why does it never come?

Why do you say you love me but never try?

It hurts you know

Being ignored by you could make me cry

Compared to my brothers living there

I wonder if perhaps you simply don't care
Dec 2024 · 73
"Little girl"
Cassian Dec 2024
Your precious little girl

To you that's all I'll ever be

Though I confided in you

Back when I was questioning

I figured myself out

But for now, I will sit pretty

Because I'm my papa's little girl

Whether or not I want to be
Cassian Dec 2024
Sometimes I wonder if I'm out of my mind

So many different people seem to be inside

So many different preferences refuse to hide

Sometimes I wonder if I'm out of my mind

I only have one person in which I can confide

A disorder or a sickness? I couldn't guess if I tried

Sometimes I wonder if I'm out of my mind

Tarot cards
Cassian Dec 2024
My tarot cards told me

My life's choices all ****

To change my path before

Things actually get too rough

They told me to focus more

On myself particularly my

Quite possibly declining

Mental health
Cassian Dec 2024
Mum tells me that high school doesn't matter

The bullies get old and fat and the bullied get rich

Only 20% of the emo girls could actually be a witch

If only she knew how wrong she is

Classes don't matter but people do

Holding on to the closest who care 'bout you

Worrying about who to take to prom

I've got many different options to choose from

No, I'm not popular, and by many I am scorned

Overthinking everything

Questioning life and losing friends

Wishing to never face them again

But in the end, this is high school

Everyday
Cassian Dec 2024
Blue skies drowned out by overwhelming grey

Shaping your impressionable minds like clay

Telling you how to act and who to be day by day

Screaming at you for ever feeling this way

But you're tired of people always leaving

They never even seem to stay

Loneliness envelopes you

Your soul dies

Everyday

Cassian Dec 2024
Death-defying

Darkness underlying

People are dying

Stop staring at me

Why aren't you all crying

All those smiles are fake

A snake in human skin

Your eyes scream at me

A broken person in hiding

Cassian - Empty and Vain
Cassian Dec 2024
My name suggests vanity

Which doesnt quite fit me

An underlying emptiness

That fills me with stress

Until I happen to realize

That Cassian means both

my name
Cassian Dec 2024
My friend wants me to change my name

They decided to use the same

A decision that has lasted for months

Brushed aside by one of short days

No longer may I be Onyx

Merely a shadow hidden by the sun's rays

Laughing at myself
And how I forgot caffeine makes me sick

Of all the ways
I could've woken myself why's that what I picked?

A brief nausea as
Exhaustion rests behind my eyes

Reading all night again
Could quite possibly bring about my demise

Perhaps some sleep
Would be healthier than obsessing over pages

Of a novel
As time goes by sitting for ages and ages

Hey there
Cassian Dec 2024
Hey there, sweet stranger

I see the way you hide

Bottling everything up inside

I read your words over and over

Knowing you're just on the verge

Of finally breaking apart

So let me protect your heart

I see you, sweet stranger

And all your works of art

I feel your pain deep inside

You never need to hide

Not from me
Dec 2024 · 63
Agree
Cassian Dec 2024
Sleepless nights

Leaving bags under my eyes

My acquaintance looks up and sighs

Leaving me unsure of how much he could surmise

Til of course, an energy drink is placed in front of me

Little old me who isn't allowed to have caffeine

His stare seems to say that I look like ****

Well, I cant help but agree

My own version
Cassian Dec 2024
I wish I could write a poem about love

But I have only experienced loss

I wish I could write a song suited to my voice

But I keep running out of words

I long to put someone first

But I've never felt absolute joy

So I'll write my own kind of poem

That I can sing out loud

Perfection is not of importance

I feel less lonely now
Dec 2024 · 77
Worthless
Cassian Dec 2024
Sometimes I wonder what might happen if I accept what I should be

If I identified with the same gender as my pathetic little body

I wonder if I would be happier and maybe a bit less confused

If perhaps I'd never heard the terrible slurs others had used

I wonder if I could make myself like wearing skirts and dresses

If perhaps I could accept the name I had been given at birth

I wonder if perhaps If I were normal others might see my worth

Or perhaps that is simply the main issue behind it all

Maybe I really am worthless after all

My ex best friend
Cassian Dec 2024
I had a best friend once

Who told me things friends should do

She said they held hands so we did

She kissed me and said it was normal

Slow danced with me during worship at church

Sat on my lap while the pastor said his piece

Told me friends loved each other so I tried to

Until middle school me found the older girl lied

Beauty without a Beast
Cassian Dec 2024
People tell me that I'm out of touch

That my head is stuck up in the clouds

Though my feet are on the ground

Truthfully to me the world is too much

I'm happier with the nerds in the crowd

Buried nose-deep in a book is how I'll be found

Never looking up even when you yell loud

Like a  Beauty without a Beast

From me to you
Cassian Dec 2024
When I was younger

I made a plan for my life.

To find a husband or a wife

To have some kids and live happily

But now that I'm older, who would want me?

I've looked at myself in the mirror, I know what they se.e

I feel so skinny, hopelessly pathetic, weak, and overwhelmingly ugly.

Knots in my stomach keep me from eating even when I should be hungr.y

My clothes feel so out of place, and outdated, I can't even hope to dress snappily.


People bump into me

Invisibility; my "superpower"

Their fault but they always expect me

To be the one to have to feel bad and say sorry

Well I'm sorry you had to know pathetic little me.

Though I truthfully hope you have happy holidays and

May all of the presents that you might receive be all the craze

I hope that all your wishes come true, so have a merry Christmas.

From me to you

Restless
Cassian Dec 2024
A restlessness can be found in

A quiet night that felt too loud

Feeling eyes on me with no one around

A cord of darkness seems to bind

Trying to sleep; to sever the ties

Listening to the coyotes howl

Until the sun finally chooses to rise

The littles are on the prowl
Istg my sibs wake with the sunrise
Dec 2024 · 424
Proud
Cassian Dec 2024
Knocking on the door

Fragile knuckles on cold metal

Unable to find warmth

Lacking of any worth

Hidden in the crowd

Alone with everyone around

Someone else wears my crown

Wish I could say I was proud

Smoke and Mirrors
Cassian Dec 2024
A sunny day

That's what they see.

A smiling face

As they stare back at me

Children are meant to be seen

But not heard

So then why do I yearn

To simply let loose

And scream

Smoke and mirrors are all

That they really see

Clever old bot
Cassian Nov 2024
Old AI chatbots are absurd

Before I even said a word

Cleverbot was hitting on me

Would've liked a conversation

About all the simple things

Weather, perhaps?

But that bot had a one-way

Ticket to crazy town

Full of sunshine and mishaps

So cuddle up close and close your tired eyes

Together the world might be fine

Being alone all the time

Press play
Cassian Nov 2024
Life feels way too long

Like my playlist of 600 songs

My mind is way too loud

Like in game of hide n seek


I wish to be found

Loneliness is all I know

Calming down by breathing slow

Smiling when I wish to frown

Swimming in the ocean just to drown


Lost in a deep dark nightmare

Shying away from the latest jump scare

Closing my eyes and hiding away

Wondering if life will be any different today


My life is on pause waiting for someone

Anyone who would search for me

Just to come and press play

Riverdale nightmare

Drown
Cassian Nov 2024
I remember all the times

It almost ended

How without my knowledge

My body defended

Itself from my very own mind

When the waves

Pushed me down under my limbs

Refused to surrender

And I swam back up to save my life

Life
Cassian Nov 2024
What is life's purpose?

Can it be defined?

Are we meant to live

Only to finally die?

Are we meant to grieve

For all the ones we've lost?

Are we meant for happiness?

If so perhaps I can be calm

But at what cost?

I dont know anything

But I have learned a lot of everything

I do not have the best voice

But I can remember all the words

I love to sing but the things

You love arent always what you do

I'm a good liar

But maybe that line isn't even true
