I was nine when I was in the kitchen and my mother told me off for playing with food.

I was ten when I was on my bed, sick, and my brother told me he’d always be there for me.

I was eleven when I was in the playground and my father put a plaster on my knee.

I was twelve when I was in my friend’s house and we promise we’d be friends forever.

I was thirteen when I was in school and my teacher told me that I was the brightest student in class.

I was fourteen when I was on the floor and I told my friends I wanted to escape when I played truth or dare.

I was fifteen when I was on the field and I scored a goal that led to victory. It made me feel I had control.

I was sixteen when I was in the rain and my first love gave me my first kiss. I saw sparks ignite for the first time.

I was seventeen when I was at a party and I got drunk. I muttered feelings I didn’t know I was capable of expressing.

I was eighteen when I was in my room and I slit my wrist, hoping for death to find me.

I was nineteen when I was in my toilet, found dead with a bottle of pills in my hand.

The first time I saw you
after I left without a goodbye
was the first time my heart fluttered.

And I hoped that I would see you again
but my heart dropped
because I knew that was our unspoken goodbye.

The night is young,
the year is not.
The moon is shinning,
but I am not.

I'm writing a poem
and not thinking
about how the year
is almost ending.

Cheers come from the dimly lit television
as some guy tries to shoot a goal.
Clicking noises come from my mom's fingernails against her new laptop.

There are eight people in this room
providing a cheery atmosphere
but it's raining heavily outside
and I feel remorse.

I try not to think
about how the year is ending
but unfortunately
it doesn't seem like it's working.

Face the future with a frown
as it will be another year of suffering.
What I need of more
is some **** courage.

Face the future with a smile
even if it brings uncertaincy.
There are many things to look forward to
like a new room or a new start.

An optimist or a pessimist
the new year is coming
and my dear
there's no more running
(away from it)

There was this boy I knew,
with messy brown hair and
mesmerizing pale blue eyes.

He held some sort of sorrow
that no one could decipher.
The blue eyed boy seldom spoke
and when he did, it was about escaping.

‘What could a fourteen year old boy -
who came to every single class
but sat in a corner with his book closed
- know about escaping?’ I thought.

It was then I realize:
he wasn’t an escapist; he was a dreamer.

I guess the only reason why
I grasped onto the dark side of you
was because that maybe
I didn’t really want to fall for you.

(not that I haven’t already fallen for you)

It was the only thing keeping my head above the water,
leaving me conscious to think.

A mysterious island stands morosely free,
in the midst of the deep blue sea.
The waves crash upon the shore
covering the evil and all it's gore.

The brown leaves slowly fall,
from the tree that was once tall.
The beauty that lies in seclusion
is merely just an illusion.

Look at the sun shine with all its glory,
the rays trying to tell us a story.
Illusionary beauty that drifts between light and dark,
is a transient allure that will set; leaving a mark.

Clouds of birds rise from the tree
chirping noisily out of key
warning the poor young boy that within
the island was filled with sin.

Behind the rocks lie serpents slithering,
above the trees the eagles are soaring.
To all appearance the island is interesting,
hidden from the eye, evil is lurking.

The island is like a scary dream
where the birds will bitterly scream.
Trees cry out of fears
yet still, no one hears.

Shadows are bright,
grasses are blue,
nothing is right,
no one expects it to.

However out there the world is even more menacing,
destruction, corruption, the world is shattering,
enveloped in the arms of so much wrong
tell the island it did belong.

It's 6:14 in the evening
and i'm sitting in
the corner of the toilet
finding it difficult to breathe.

It's 6:15 in the evening
and I'm thinking of ways
to make him show me he loves me
because he might need to.

It's 6:16 in the evening
and I'm staring at the little green dot
beside his name,
hoping a message will come.

It's 6:17 in the evening
and I should be studying
because lately,
my marks have been going down.

It's 6:18 in the evening
and I realize,
I'm tired of trying but I need him
and that keeps me going.

It's 6:19 in the evening
and I realized that
all I want to say is
that I'm not happy.
