most people see me as
a happy person because
i laugh easily,
i smile a lot,
i joke a lot.

but deep down
in my heart,
i am fragile,
i can get hurt easily,
but i choose to not
show it to the world.

instead of being sad,
i choose to laugh to cover it.
maybe you can call me
"the queen of the mask"

by this,
you can tell
that most of the time
when I'm laughing,
I'm not really laughing,
i was trying so hard to hide
my sadness.

Buried Words

The colour of love,
Yet the colour of death.

The colour of your lips,
Leaning in to love me.

The colour of the liquid,
That drips from the wounds.
And the colour of the pills that took your life.

Don't listen to what someone says in the early morning hours when the moon is out.

The loneliest hearts are always up at 2 am.

Do you actually see me?
Read the words I write
Hesitantly slipping you
The truth of my heart
Do you truly understand what my words whisper to you as my heart screams?
I don't think you do.
I feel so much in overwhelming waves
But to you I'm overreacting; just sensitive
What an insult to the thing I cradle close
Can't you see the pain bleeding from my eyes?
Can't you feel the pooling of blood from my heart I gave to your hands?
No, you don't
Because you set it down absently one day and forgot
Why keep me around if you've misplaced my heart?
I guess you can be careless if you never gave me back your own.
Your fail safe
You could have trusted me
I trusted you

"I hate my life."
"I want to die.'"
It's what they all say
But really
All they want
Is for life to be perfect
And if that's what they're waiting for
Then they might as well just **** themselves
Because life will never be perfect
It is messy
And crazy
And incomprehensible sometimes
But if there was no darkness
Was there ever any light?
I don't really understand this myself. Tell me what you think it's trying to say because I surely don't know.

My confidence rolls off my cheek
One drop at a time
Into my nightly coffee
Bitter taste of defeat

Fear overwhelming my sorrows
My only will is keeping alive

Cut me up into little pieces

Shallow cuts
Deep cuts
They all hurt the same

But I dont hurt myself
So what else could be

My confidence rolls down my cheek
Made a stream along my neck
Itll grow into a river
And wash my fears away

One chance to live

a million ways to die

So what is the reason

For us being alive?

I wear a watch just because I like the way it looks.
I don't actually use it to keep the time.
I buy books even though I haven't sat down and finished one in many years.
I've already listened to Christmas music this year and bought an iced pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks even though August hasn't ended yet.

And I might be in love even though it's one sided and I swore I wouldn't fall for anyone for a long time.
In conclusion, I'm an idiot.
Once I believed I was destined for loneliness
Until you walked into my life like a sudden storm.
My love was like a calm breeze before but after you
It became a tornado on an open sea.
Few have found what I found in you,
A friend, a lover, a soul-mate.
You swept me off my feet
And let me dangle off a cliff,
Afraid to fall, but knowing if I did
You would be there to catch me.
My other half, you kept me at a distance
And that hurt me, because you didn’t know
That I needed you now more than ever.
After too long you came to me
Took me into your arms, held me, then kissed me
And told me you were sorry for pushing me away.
You told me you needed me
Just as I need you now.
Ice cream sundaes became our go-to thing
Our first real date, you were perfect.
Flowers, chocolates and many more things, too many to count,
You made me feel as if I was the only ******* earth.
Thank you Love, for everything
Even if it was only in my dreams.
