I can not stand up and cheer
it's your victory
but I can not show I care
in fact, I can not show my face

because

under the stars
twisting the grass through our fingers, our hands met
when we heard the crickets singing to their friends, our eyes met
and that night, my heart met yours

and since that time
the green grass
and the calls of the crickets
remind me

your heart pushed mine aside
when you called me only a 'friend'

so I can not stand tall
show my face, let you see me blush
I can only support you from afar
I'm only a friend
this might **** idk :)
her
tell her she's your only one  when she
is upset, hold her tight.  play with her hair.
pick her up, tickle her, and wrestle
with her. just talk to her. bring her flowers just
because. just make her happy, tell her  she is butiful
make her smile, lauph and love.

These are the threads
Of my web of lies
That I build above your heads
Strenghth ending everyday

My common day lies
Spun like spiders silk
Drifting unbroken in the skies
So plain it stands hidden

Entwined strings of excuses
To form a mask from the world
With a million uses
To fake that I am whole

Because I am the spider
Creeping through the day
Dangling off silk as my web grows wider
Trapping all the flies
I'm sure that someone else has said this before but whatever I'll say it anyways.

People don't get to choose what they look like (with few exceptions such as plastic surgery, and even then. ..) so what right do we really have to say that a person is hot, beautiful,  pretty,  cute, ugly or average,  based on how we view their ****** appearance.  Fall in love with one's personality and what's hidden beyond their appearance.
Or don't, whichever right, I mean who the hell am I to tell you how to live.
Seems I'm unintentionally hurting everyone today
I'm sorry guys (and girls) it wasn't meant that way
In some cases its cause you pushed me
I'm not that great a guy, now do you see
In some cases I said it not meaning to be rude
But it seems that I had the wrong attitude
In some case it's because I'm afraid to trust you
Even though I have no reason not to
I'd give up my heart just to take it all back
But its impossible, so I'll let my vision fade to black
I'm sad about it now
And I wish I knew how
To tell all of you that...
I'm an idiot, and I don't deserve you guys.
I'm so sorry that I'm not a better writer.
I'm so close to crying right now.
"DEAR BLANK CHALLENGE" PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS AND REPOST TRY TO KEEP IT GOING:  HELLOPOETRY "DEAR BLANK" CHALLENGE SECRET SANTA POEMS EXCEPT NOT SECRET AND NOT SANTA RANDOM ACT/POEM OF KINDNESS STRANGER POETRY APPRECIATION

I thought it might be nice to do like a secret santa thingy on hellopoetry only not secret and not santa… what I mean is, find a random stranger you literally have never met and do NOT know at all whose poetry you like and spend actual time genuinely reading their work, picking out your favorite lines and responding to them, pondering them, etc. Write something positive to them and post it as a poem with their name in the title. The “DEAR BLANK” challenge only you put their name instead of “blank”. I think we could all use a little recognition that we exist and are worth something since everyone seems a little depressed on here (including myself) which is fine, it’s a great outlet but it would be nice for people to just spontaneously find that a random stranger spent time in their life just to recognize you and care about your poetry. To write a kind poem/letter to them responding to lines in their poetry. If you need an example I just posted DEAR IMALRIGHT which was exactly what I meant. Check out imalright's poetry btw it is amazing.
I plan on doing for more than one person and I'd love for you to do the same. Spread a little kindness, we could all use a little.
Also message me if you are going to do the challenge and message the stranger you do the DEAR BLANK challenge for so they know to look for and read your poem.
I just thought that Imalright who was a perfect stranger to me seemed like a wonderful poet and a wonderful person based on her poetry so I chose her.
You do that too if you accept the DEAR BLANK challenge.
INCLUDE DEARBLANKCHALLENGE AS A HASHTAG IF YOU DO THE CHALLENGE SO EVERYONE CAN FIND THEM
please repost this over and over so we can get as many people involved as possible and try and make a difference in a couple people's lives because I just want to make everyone feel loved but I'm just one girl, I can't do it alone. Please help me with this and join me in the DEAR BLANK challenge. Take time out of your day to properly appreciate someone's poetry who you do not know.

PLEASE REPOST LET'S GET EVERYONE INVOLVED!!! ;D
THANKS!

DEAR BLANK CHALLENGE
Life happens
You can’t stop it
From doing what it does
I know you know this
So it’s hopeless
To try to change it up

[Chorus]
Cause when everyday
People die
People cry
People live
And they forgive
Life for what it does

"Why does everything bad
Always have to happen to them"


I wish I could’ve known them
So I could tell them that they’re worth it
But I didn’t know them
I wish I could’ve shown them
That every life is worth living
But I couldn’t show them

[Chorus]

But it’s hard to understand
Them and their emotions
And it’s hard to understand
Why this is happening to them
When will it get better for them
Or will it never
It’s never really made sense to me

Everyday people die
And people cry
So don’t make yourself die
And leave us to cry
Don’t bring your death upon yourself
Just let life bring you to the end
Thanks to Kaitlin Molden for the title
Another new day
Time to put that mask back on and act like everythings ok.
i can't stay here
i can't stay away
i'm split bewteen
what to say

i love you
but you don't love me back
so i'll go hide
in my hearts crack

don't say you miss me
cause i know you don't
don't say you need me
i know i'm not what you want
