it's always hard
to be the one left behind
i feel as if i have been left in the dust
for you are all gone
off to stanford and dartmouth you go
but i am still here
i now walk down the hallway alone
as do you
for i miss you
and i'll always be with you

wherever you go
to the people who made school a better experience this year
I want to feel her,
be held tightly
by her grip.
I thought 10w poems were cool...but 11, woah!
He held my hand today.
Never had my hand been held before.
In that moment,
The worries stopped.
Reality faded.
And it was as if he held the weight of the world just as he held my hand.

I see your name everywhere

I can't let you go
your lies cut deep as
Samurais embedded much
too far in my soul

i don't even know
who you are in this life any
more than I know foes

makes me sad to know
I have exposed hidden truth
I just can't save you

When I first met you,
You has this smile on your face.
And I swear to god
I couldn't make this up if I tried,
But if you looked at the ground
The way you looked at me,
I promise you
At least four dozen flowers
Would have sprouted right up from the ground.
You were that magical.

But three months in,
And a bottle and a half of *****,
You hit me so hard,
That you left bite marks in my mind,
And scars on my heart composed of your fingerprints.

All the flowers have died.
A fresh cut, a new mar
Soon just another scar
One more to add to the collection
Every time I look in the mirror

Yet I still seek my reflection
A fresh cut, a new mar
I can't help but keep collectin

The sort of cuts I make
Could make minds break
And still I seek my rejection

I don't know how much I can take
My mind it's strong
But everywhere
There's another mirror

There's no escape
When the blades
Are my own eyes

Staring with their haunted cast
At a shadow cloaked in lies

These scars are ugly welts
I stare at shamefully
But the cuts need to be made
For I hate what's become of me
