Tears cascade down her face
Each one that rolls down her cheeks
Is another splinter in my heart.
I want to hug her and tell her it'll be okay
But I'm stuck to the spot
So I'm a coward
Because I can't even help the girl I love.
"I believe I believe. I should write a little less and live a little more," each day, I say, but then again, I find myself back to old habits, again and again, the world sure does look nice, from my vantage point, although I've yet to see it.
A girl told me she loved my bracelets and proceeded to ask where I got them from. I told her Jamaica, Puerto Rico, etc. She sighed, saying she'd love to travel some day. I told her, 'go.'

Am I really so unhappy
That I feel the need to fill my lungs with
Poison
Just for the ephemeral pleasure
Of watching as tendrils of smoke
Dance

Your eyes are oceans
And I'm drowning
In our memories
Life is a little maddening
without you.
Every little thing
getting on my nerves.
Just the thought of you
used to calm me down
make me smile,
but now the thought of you
makes me cry
makes me scream
makes me shout
makes me fight.
I was not ready to say goodbye.
I wanted you forever,
but you left me anyway,
it was a forced farewell.
Do you enjoy making me suffer
with your harsh words
but then you come to me for an embrace
If you're going to leave me
at least never come back,
don't expect me to speak first
when I'm the one hurting the most.

Today I sat in class
Watching the clock tick towards three,
Filling my mind with fantasies
Of where I'd rather be
And thinking
I'm fed up with reality

Yes, I need change
My conscious mind agrees

I've grown tired of the same old faces
The same old routines
The same old places

But
I think
If I could be happy as easily
As moving around my schedule
Wouldn't I just
be?


It was in that moment
I begun to see
I'm just tired
Of being me
I don't rhyme often, so I'm not sure if this sounds any good
Also the whole poem does not rhyme and is not meant to
