What we say should not define us
What we do should not define us
But it does
The world hates those who differ
The world hates who we are
I fell in love with someone I shouldn't
I am not defined by who I love
I am not defined by what I say
I am not defined by how I act
I am Me
You are You
This is who we are
This is who I am
This is how I feel about how the world judges people like me. we are who we are, and the world can't stop us.

When I was alone
You were there
When I was down
You lifted me up
When i was crying
You shed tears with me
When I was in the dark
You showed me the path
When I held the knife
You stopped my hand
When I looked up
You smiled
When I was speechless
You said what I couldn't
When I found you
I had a treasure I could hold
When I found you
I had my reason to carry on
Thank you
This is a short poem I made saying how I feel about my best friend, who wrote a poem called Flowers so I could feel like I had someone to depend on.

Being Bored
Like an opportunity
To create something new
Boredom can be a good friend
Or cause you to lose your mind
A gift of creation
A curse of destruction
All being bored does
Is make words in your head
Mess with your brain
Boredom can bless us
Boredom can destroy us
Creating and destroying
Eventually
Everything gets boring
Nothing can escape boredom

What would you do
If I slid the knife across my skin
What would you say
If I said goodbye
Who would you tell
If I left forever
Who would you trust
If I was gone
Where would you go
If I drifted off the path
Who would you love
If I left you behind
What would you do
If we never crossed paths first
When would you leave
If I left without a word
When would we meet again
If we both strayed from the path
Where would we be
If we left together

Cool air
Clouds so fair
Rocky ridges
Trees as bridges
Sunset sky
Baby birds fly
Lakes reflecting
People connecting
Mountains so high
They touch the sky

If only I had a moment
To tell you how I feel
If only I had a moment
To find the words
If only I had a moment
To speak my mind
If only I had a moment
To be beside you again
If only I had a moment
To think about my choice
If only I had a moment
To stop myself
If only I had a moment
To stay strong
If only I had a moment
To say what I needed to
If only I had a moment
To sing our song
If only I had a moment
To watch the sky with you again
If only I had a moment
To stand up
If only I had a moment
To be brave
If only I had a moment
To stop the blade
If only I had a moment
To say goodbye
If only I had a moment
Just one moment
before I died

Hush there
Can't you hear it
Crying drifting through the air
Shouts and cries woven together like knit
Scarlet tears
Glassy blade
Hiding for years
The price she paid
Her shame and sorrow
Pressed down hidden from sight
Will she wake morrow?
Will she escape in the night
So don't speak
What you say will be engraved in stone
Words cut from inside
Sharp enough to break bone
Words make them hide
You could save lives
Be kind
Or you could be the one
Tying their binds
And handing them the knives
