Your face is a reflection of mine
The emptiness of your eyes reflect a hollow soul
Your thin lips turned down in dismay
You say no words
But you don't have to
You reek of exhaustion and pain
And by looking in your eyes i can see your story
I can see all the heartache you've been through
All the times you have let someone down
And looking into your eyes feels as if i'm looking in a mirror

on top of the world
jasmin Feb 2020
“The sky looks so big from up here” she whispers in my ear, I can feel the flutter of her long eyelashes on my forehead. We lay on top of the world, lay on top of all the sorrow, pain, and grief.  But somehow we lay without a care. Looking up my eyes get lost in a vast ocean of gleaming stars and colors that we could never perceive before, with our vision being blinded by the stain of sadness and despair. For once the knot in my stomach has melted away. And now the only thing we are worried about is how much space there is between us.

time heals (sometimes)
jasmin Dec 2019
Wish i could turn back time
To when you were mine

Turn back time
To when we were not walking a thin line

Cause right now my heart is slowly dying
Giving up on trying

To replace the love
You gave me that sent me above

my daily routine
jasmin Nov 2019
My life is the same everyday
I wake up and hope that i can pull out one more day
I can get through this I tell myself
I think that maybe my life will sort out itself
But then i realize that im me
And the world won't hear my plea
And the days will continue to drag by
And everyday i will ask myself why

im the moon and the stars
jasmin Nov 2019
Sometimes I feel really lonely.
Like i'm the moon in a ******* sky
But the stars surrounding me are miles and miles away
In reality stars are 1 billion to 3 billion miles away from each other
So take that amount of space and put it in between me and the rest of the world
That's how i feel
Even when i might be surrounded by people
Just like Saturn
Surrounded by rings of people
But still Saturn's rings are 175,000 miles away from the planet
I'm isolated
Im that bright star that over time slowly burns out
And disappears into nothingness
But you wont notice will you
The big night sky will look the same
With or without me in it

mask
jasmin Sep 2019
We all wear masks
Having a perfect face, that's our task

We are supposed to look like dolls
But when we take off the mask and look in the mirror we start to bawl

Because we are told we should look a certain way
And when we dont we are told we can't stay

We are told to walk straight with our chin up
To cover our masks with makeup

And we all listen in fear of rejection
But maybe we should stand up and make an objection
We should be able to look in the mirror and be happy with our reflection
And not always have to strive for perfection

When will we be happy with our face
When will we catch the perfection that we chase

Will we ever get to be good enough
Will our mirror ever stop calling bluff

Will the people around us except us for who we are
Or will we have to forever hide our scars

We all hide who we truly are behind this mask
Being perfect all around that's our task

all time low
jasmin Sep 2019
My eyes hold all the pain
From my face happiness has been drained
It's hard for me to smile
It's been like this for a while
Noone has noticed yet
And noone will i bet
They are too wrapped up in life
To notice my struggle with strife
Noone cares enough about me
None has heard my plea
I think its my time to go
Because right now im at an all time low

puppet
jasmin Sep 2019
Im happy
Then i'm sad
I have friends
Then suddenly they're all gone
Is it me
Am i to sensitive
Or is it them
Im alone
Always alone
I have nothing
Noone
Im happy
Then i'm sad
When will the pain end
Will it ever
Why me
Why am i always the puppet
Thrown around
Apologizing
When I wasn't the one that did wrong
Im happy
Then i'm sad
I have friends
Then suddenly they're all gone

Growth
jasmin Sep 2019
When I lost you I thought it was the end
It broke me knowing I had lost my best friend
We didn’t talk for a week
It made my days seem bleak
But after a while that ache went away
And slowly my life turned around from being gray
You took half of me with you when you left
But now I’m happy for that theft
Because a new part of me was seeded
Maybe you leaving was exactly what I needed
A new beautiful part of me started to grow
A part of me you will never get to know
You left when it was convenient to you
Without even giving me a clue
True friends wouldn’t do that
I’m finally realizing that you are a brat
It took me a while to realize I didn't need you
My problems have lessened, I’ve lost more than a few
People say you want me back
But I do not miss the kindness you lacked
I passed you in the halls today
You looked at me like you wished you had stayed
But you made your decision
And you no longer wanted me in your vision

— The End —
