Mono
Samantha Nov 2018
Noting changes.
Nothing grows.

Empty highs.
Empty lows.

I can't feel the warm,
And I can't feel the cold.

You try to make me happy,
And I try just for you.
But other than our trying,
Nothing else is new.

I worry I'll upset you,
If I can't make a change.
It's not fair of me,
To make you stay the same.
Don't let me drag you down with me.

Nothing Better
Samantha Nov 2018
Nothing better to do
Than sit and look at you
So when we are not together
It won't be hard to remember

The small bridge of your nose

The way you lick your lips

And though I'm standing on my tip-toes
You still lower your eyes, under dark-lashed lids

I gaze and gaze
But still the memories fade
I've worn your hazy image out
Too many times to count
I can't get enough of him. I just hope he's thinking about me too.

Be That way
Samantha Nov 2018
Never mind, I take it back

Never mind, if you're still mad

Fine, but you'll just drag it out

Fine, nothing to talk about
You are digging yourself a hole, and don't say I didn't warn you

I Said Yes
Samantha Nov 2018
Your smile so bright,
your eyes are my light
The hazel that looks right through me

Like a puppy you will stay,
all you want to do is play
Yet you would never play me

Never so far from my mind,
never so far from behind
But I never had known you liked me
Until Now...

A Case Of Boyish Hijinks
Samantha Nov 2018
Why are teenage boys so aggressive?
I can take care of myself, thank you.

Do they think violence is impressive?
I can fight my own battles, thank you.

Are they trying to be protective?
I don't need a bodyguard, thank you.

Are they all so very possessive?
I don't belong to anyone, thank you.
As a woman, I don't need my boyfriend's help to make me feel incapable, society helps all us women plenty on that front. I've had enough.

In Denial
Samantha Jan 2019
I had forgotten where I was,

Looking up from my fantasy book,

Reality was such a sight to see,

I dare not give too long a look,

I'd rather live in denial and lies,

Turn away and overlook,

The truth will never go away,

Life is not a storybook,

And it's my choice to leave or stay.

REGRET
Samantha Feb 2018
regret
regret is the most painful feeling
more painful is the regret you feel
for making her hate you
than the hate itself
regret is the moment
when you are thinking:
this is it; the things I have done
have made it come down to this moment
when I want to end everything
everything that could be
all for the mistakes of my past
all my regrets
gone in a moment
the moment that ends it all
when I will not feel regrets
of what I have done
in the past
and I won't have to be afraid
of the future
that I never knew
nor will I feel the regret I have left behind
for ending everything else
all the good that could be
all gone in 1 moment
1 lonely moment
all because you want to leave your regret behind
but you leave everything behind
and everyone
everyone is left behind
to carry the burden of your regrets
and for them to regret your last decision for you
they regret not knowing
not helping
you
what they could have done
is not have helped you not have regrets
but to move past them
so
you may lose all your regret
to make this decision
and end it
but you leave all else behind
ALL ELSE
to regret your last decision
but
if decided not
you won't regret it
and the feeling
of alleviation and relief
of numbness and comfort
combined
into your being
into your mind
is as strong of a feeling
as the regret
that started your pain
the regret
that this time you chose not to create
DO NOT let the last thing
-the last feeling-
you leave behind
on this earth
in this world
be a feeling
of regret

Donating My Friendship
Samantha Oct 2018
People steal my friendship

              and they never give anything back

                                            but they probably need it

                                                                            so I never ask

Sorry
Samantha Oct 2019
i'm not sorry
for offering you
my love
i'm sorry
that you don't recognize
it's value
i'm sorry
you don't
deserve me
i'm sorry
for every time
you cheat yourself
out of finding
true love
but i'm not sorry
for myself
because it's your loss
not mine

Genuine
Samantha Dec 2019
Kindness, to me
It's kind of like a flower
Only every time I'm given one
It's poisonous and thorny
They ***** me and fill me with betrayal
And turn to ash in my hands
How am I to know
That your kindness is genuine
That you don't want to hurt me
And even if you don't
I still know that every flower
Will die in the end
How can I trust you?

My Mother's Daughter
Samantha Feb 2018
I wish I was my mother's daughter
The real one, to be sure
I wish I was the baby
To which she had birthed
I see the way she looks at me
With love, but differently
Than the love that I see
When she looks at her real baby
I wish I was my mother's daughter
The real one, to be sure

Becoming Who I Am
Samantha Feb 2018
Let me choose
Let me learn
Let me lose
Let me burn
All my bridges
Let me turn
Down my own path
Paced and worn
By my own feet
Spare me your scorn
By turning to flee
From my own rash choices
Speak to me
But I won't hear your voices
This is MY time
To become who I am

Riddles
Samantha Mar 2021
My head's becoming weary
Of all these heavy words
To put them down on paper

My mind spins round in riddles
Dizzy and absurd
Shall I rest my head
Or shall I let it turn

BPD
Samantha Mar 2021
BPD
Shattering the space around me
The air itself is static
My skin-too fragile
Scratch me, drag the nails through and through
Cut to the bone-
Your words
My skin-too fragile
You don't understand
The dagger in my ear
Infecting my mind with poison
Poison running through my veins-
I stop still
Don't move-
DANGER
I can't take it
The words you haven't said
Pushing me over the edge
I live on a narrow line of sanity
Even the slightest stir in the atmosphere
Even the slightest touch
I lose my grip, falling off the edge of reality
I lose myself
please spread awareness. bpd is a serious mental disorder.

Fatal Flaw
Samantha Oct 2019
You are this perfect image of everything I could ever want. But everybody has flaws. Your single flaw is a fatal one. Because your single flaw just happens to be the one that makes you want to destroy every single good thing that comes your way. Including me.

Just A Touch
Samantha Nov 2018
Just a touch
Sends a ripple
Of feels
Through my body
Each touch
Is a raindrop
Simple,
and small
It affects
Each nerve
Every end
Of my being
That sweet
Sweet shiver
I feel it
Each touch
Take a moment to appreciate the little moments when that special person in your life will change you with just...a...touch.

Pray Don't
Samantha Feb 2019
Pray don't give me pity,
For it makes me feel so weak.

Pray don't give me promises,
For that you'll forget to keep.

Pray don't give me hope,
For I will hold my breath.

Pray don't break my heart,
For I will welcome death.

Pray don't try encourage me,
For I take things too far.

Pray don't let me try,
For I'll try to reach the stars.

Pray don't let me fall,
For the fall will hurt my pride.

Pray don't criticize me,
For there's nothing I take in stride.

Pray don't pay too much attention,
For I will shy away.

Pray don't take me for granted,
For I will always disobey.

Pray don't give me everything,
For I will never pay.

Pray don't give me nothing,
For I'll have nothing more to say.

waking up next to you
the way you look at me
i can always tell when you're lying
and you know when i'm about to cry
we can finish each other's sentence
but you still surprise me every day
you know how to make me laugh
i know what you want
we want the same thing
true love

Bittersweet
Samantha Feb 2019
I'm happy to see the happiness of others,
But I'm afraid my heart can't take it.
Even so, I can't help but wonder:
If we were still together, would you just fake it?
Can't help but know that it was never real for you.
And it makes me feel like a fool for thinking you ever actually cared.

to a better place

and never asking for a hand
afraid that they would change their minds
and decide i wouldn't be good enough
for them to step all over me
as if it were a privilege
to be used
by them

Broken Heart
Samantha Sep 2020
Why
Why do you
Describe it so gently
As if it were glass
And could shatter
Love is not broken
So easily
In fact
It's not broken at all
It's larger than life
And not easy to lose
Always in sight
And has nothing to prove
Quite confident,
It is!
But easily fooled...
Some find this amusing
And make it a ruse
oh Let's bully this love
Make it believe that we care!
oh How we will laugh
When it's shocked and impaired!
Embarrassed and abashed
At the lies and the dare
But love is alive
And some think it's quite folly
That it's stupid and jolly
That through all in all
It continues about
Patient and welcome
And kind
And no doubts
And with time it matures
It never hates on the haters
And lets truth be spoken
Love lives in your heart .

And your heart is what's broken.
Love is Strong

I'm tired of your thoughts
I'm done with living beneath you
just because I've never fought

Blightful Dreams
Samantha Feb 2018
messy room, messy mind
beneath these pictures you will find
memories, vague but bright
they leave my eyes so full of light
they keep my eyes from losing sight
of the place I visit in my dreams at night
if I had wings I'd soar great heights
back to my home, an eager flight
but wish I may and wish I might
this cannot be, my dreams are blight

beautiful
and broken
they tell me he won't stay
but his eyes are scars inside my mind
and I know my will won't sway
they don't understand how good he is
he understands the words I twist
he knows my soul, and I won't go
beautiful
and broken
is my love's heart of gold
beautiful
and broken
they tell me he will fade
but his words are scars inside my heart
and I know my love won't stray
they don't understand the place he's in
he understands the life I live
we know we're broken, but my heart is sold
to a beautiful boy
with a heart of gold

I love you, Gabe

I'm sad but mostly frustrated
That we didn't work out
And you may think it's my fault

But I think that it was both of us
Trying not to overstep ourselves
And tell the other how we really feel
I can't put my thoughts in order, I'm so confused. Or am I?

The Best Version of Me
Samantha Feb 2019
Dear Future Me,
      I have always looked up to you.
You make mom proud, which I've always tried to do.
You know what you want, and you know who you are.
You stand steady on ground, while you reach for the stars.
You are confident, and you love yourself.
You are honest, with you and everyone else.
You know your flaws, and you embrace them.
You know your dreams, and continue to chase them.
You make plans, then carry them out.
You set goals, and don't give into doubt.
You are friendly and kind, even to haters.
You crave commitment, and stay away from the players.
And finally,
The best version of me.

Some months ago I thought I'd never get used it-
Seeing you with her.
Some months ago I thought it'd always hurt-
Seeing you with her.
Now it's just just a fact that I'll be-
Seeing you with her.
Now I'm not so sad that I'll be-
Seeing you with her.
It doesn't feel half bad when I see you-
Seeing me with him.

Too High A Price
Samantha Oct 2018
If you could say I'm pretty
Then I would say you're nice
But if you could see right through me
You'd see my ugly life
Then you wouldn't want me
It's too high of a price
For a girl you thought was pretty
And she thought you were nice
If you could have liked her simply
You would have changed her life
For all the people who walk right by me everyday, always thinking but never speaking.

Down Again
Samantha Apr 2019
Moments there are when I'm high,

A feeling I can't quite describe,

Nights are the most lonely times,

But when the sun comes up I'm down again.

Quickly swept into the day,

The wind picks up and makes me sway,

Both friends and strangers will me to stay,

But I go home and I'm down again.

The highs and lows of now and then's,

My moods seem to swing on a pendulum,

I'll visit places I've never been,

But when I return I'm down again.

Samantha Oct 2018
The mistakes we make,

The chances we take,

The rules we break;

All of these the stepping stones
Upon the path of broken bones
We feel that we are so alone...

At the end of the path it was revealed:
We all stood in the same big field
All the broken bones were healed

It was always there yet no one knew
Along your journey you'll find the truth
You'll find who's really there for you
Sometimes it takes an explosion to find the strongest bonds.
