The World
Daphne Jun 2013
Was it all a lie?
Every touch, every word, every laugh?
I tried so hard,
yet it just wasn't enough.

When I was with you,
I swear, no one was happier than me.
I gave you everything,
but to you, it still seemed like nothing.

I was blinded by your charisma
because to me, it was beautiful.
Mine however,
just couldn't compete.

I went to the ends of the earth for you,
except you wanted the ends of the universe.
I trusted you with my heart, my secrets, and my love,
but you just spat it back in my face.


You treated me like the most undesirable human being in the world,
yet I wanted to give you the world.

Stepping Out
Daphne Jan 2013
Stepping out of the shower is like stepping into reality.

In the shower, you're in your comfort zone.

You could stay there for hours and hours and be totally fine.

Then you start to get anxious.

You realize that you're getting prune fingers and you also start getting curious about what's going on outside because it feels like you've been in the shower forever.

So you step out, but not because you want to, but because it seems convenient.

The moment you step out, the world turns cold.

You were much more comfortable in the shower.

Everything in reality chills you to the bone.

It's dark and cruel and it's hard to find happiness.

You realize that what you did is a huge mistake.

But you can't go back.

That would just be silly.

You sit there and think to yourself that it's time to face the world.

And that life goes on.
First poem. Very spontaneous.
