Hera Oct 2022
To be an artist is to be free, free of my own thoughts and ideas
Free from other's expectation and standards
Free from everything except the artist itself, me
I carve, I paint, I draw, I create
To satisfy my mind and souls' desire
Artist conveys what's in their head
Artist express what's in their heart
Artist tries to build connection in between people's heart
Just like how chef prepares a dish
WIth thorough preference of smell, taste, and texture,
Artist prepares masterpiece to appease the eyes with perfect features
Life is like an art
With an artist giving color to one's life
An artist never doubts his own outlook
Artist uses it to be converted into book
A book, full of experience and emotion
A book, soon to be shared and unfolded to the nation
When an artist loses its way
Art will find you to make you stay
In silence, in chaos
It doesn't matter
As long as it's always what we choose.

Weird :'))))

I don't bite
Hera Mar 2021
I may look like a wretch,
But I can do sketch,
Want me to come by,
and make your life outstretched?

Don't worry, I don't bite.
I love people who are fond of aplite.

Teacher
Hera Jan 2022
Inside a garden
Of misleading wonders,
A rose so wondrous
With thorns are obvious.

It's painful and slow
But carry overtones to grow
Its petals bleed
But worthy to be someone's lead

Thorns protect flowers--
Just like teachers
Who protect us to fully bloom
And pass through tall wall looms.
Guess we all had that 'teacher' who left a huge impact in our lives

I heard your sighs,
when you knew about his lies.

Cornered
Hera Apr 2021
Come to me,
and
I promise you
to only feel
eternity.
Where do I find someone exactly like in my poem? :')

Why
Hera Apr 2021
Why
Just tell me,
"Why do I always have to save you?"
Of all people, why me not Jenny?
Just why would they blame me?
Am I not enough for mommy and daddy?
Why must you sacrifice me?

Sky

Sky
I just want to watch
the stars with you.
Shall we?
:>
835 · Jun 2021
Go
Hera Jun 2021
Go
Saw you waiting for her,
Saw you fighting for her,
While I am
Busy waiting for you,
Been wanting to be with you,
Even if I wait million years,
Can you tell me if I deserve you?

You were late
Hera Mar 2021
I told everyone that I’m okay,
But do I still need to say?
I wanted to be happy, just to be happy all day…
I wasn’t expecting you come into play
Expectations deprived me from watching sunset by the bay

They wanted me to be perfect but I couldn’t shine properly
I was criticized silently
And was perishing inside, slowly

I cried a lot; my life’s too dry
No one scrupled to ask, “Are you still okay?”
When you had the confidence to utter words, it was late.
Too late
I’ve taken my life and it was my fate.
791 · Mar 2021
Never fixed
Hera Mar 2021
I heard you shouting my name,
I heard you taking all the blame.
Can you feel the flame?
Is it still the same?
I guess not,
Because it was all a game.
729 · Apr 2021
Bare
Hera Apr 2021
You seeing my naked soul,
I can't help but think,
"Why did I fall?"
I knew this from the start,
You got me with all your ****
I thought sweetness
Has to play a part;
But it's me slowly
Falling apart.

Lost
Hera Aug 2021
I did my best,
I can't even take a rest
Yet, every single person treats me like a pest,
I guess it's a curse, coz I'm the eldest.
Hi, managed to post a poem today. Indeed, I'm lost :(
622 · Apr 2021
I Fell
Hera Apr 2021
I fell
again,
Help me
stumble upon
this word,
called "stop,"
Help me
think through
that I've
already had
enough.
Me to online classes :>
618 · Oct 2021
Go
Hera Oct 2021
Go
If I'm too much for you,
go find someone less.

Lost in the Galaxy
Hera Jun 2021
I do wonder, what's in her that you'd always choose her?
What's in me that you can't even see?
Feeling lost, feeling anxious
But still, feeling ambitious
Hoping you'll look at me.
Guess who I'm writing this to :))
584 · Oct 2021
You came
Hera Oct 2021
Then you came,
You gave the world to me
And before I knew
There I was
So in love with you
I feel weird :>
508 · Apr 2021
Like You
Hera Apr 2021
Stars form above;
And I stare at them like I'm in love,
Like you,
I wanted to be loved too.

Unfinished story
Hera Apr 2021
You are the stranger,
I'm most familiar with.

Ineffable
Hera Apr 2021
In the sea of people,
I will find for you,
Battles I've aced, and;
Yet at the end, you're my race.
461 · Jun 2021
Slowly
Hera Jun 2021
Hold,
As I am cold.
Stay away,
As I'll leave today.
Slowly,
I'll make a progress
and forget that
You died this day.

Your Voice
Hera Mar 2021
They asked me what my favorite song was,
I couldn't think of any,
So I just told them, "Your voice."
Beautiful enough to ease my life's noise.
450 · Dec 2021
Us
Hera Dec 2021
Us
Hypothetically, yes.
Theoretically, forever.

Envy
Hera Apr 2021
I look up to you,
How I wish
Someone would
look up to me too,
It was in the past,
Look how
My soul disappeared
so fast.

Quiet
Hera Oct 2021
On my silent days,
I miss you a little louder.

Regrets
Hera Mar 2021
"Stop."
I can't.
"You're just wasting your time."
I'm not.
"Go find another work."
I don't want.
"Then go **** yourself. You have no direction in life anyway."
Had I not sacrifice my heart for you, I'm alive.
375 · Oct 2021
U
Hera Oct 2021
U
Because it's you,
The person I'l be saying my 'I do.'
373 · Mar 2021
Shall I?
Hera Mar 2021
Go run,
And have some fun.
Go wander,
Like no other.
Go free yourself,
And read some books on your shelf.
Go leave,
And live.

First Love
Hera Apr 2021
You're lucky,
You caught me.
332 · Mar 2021
Press it
Hera Mar 2021
Hurry...
I'm in a hurry.
Slowly...
Can I move slowly?
Hide...
How can you tell me that?
Duck...
I'm stuck.
They're gone.
And I'm so done.
I looked at you.
And out of the blue,
You asked me;
"Want to be free? Press the button later."
It was a bomb.
How can I be so dumb?
322 · Mar 2021
Fall
Hera Mar 2021
Look,
Leaves and petals
Are starting
To fall,
And slowly
Your eyes,
And lips,
Makes me
Want to stay.

19th of May
Hera May 2021
I can't feel anything.
I'm just empty.
I can't absorb everything.
I'm so lonely.
I can't just take this.
I feel so gloomy.
What shoud I do?

You were my once upon a time,
but never my happily ever after.

Loaded
Hera Apr 2022
Sacrifices,
Slumber less nights,
Caffeine-fueled days,
and unwanted bad weeks
Have become my strength
To keep me loaded and
decided.

Hera Dec 2021
Just like everybody,
I want to remember you
As part of my journey

Back then and even now,
It has always been only you for me!

Unsure
Hera Aug 2021
How can you be so sure,
That his intentions are pure,
Maybe,
You're just yearning for something,
But you can't get that in a blink of an eye,
Because all he does is lie.
You can't really please someone who isn't sincere about what you feel :D
228 · Mar 2021
Leo
Hera Mar 2021
Leo
You were my anchor.
I even held hands with you by the shore.
Just everything about you, I was so sure.
I waited for you long enough;
Long enough to be longed every single day,
I was in dismay.
I decided to wait you until May.
However, I just couldn't stay.
How can I?
Leo,
Remember how you killed me that day?
223 · Apr 2021
Always
Hera Apr 2021
I didn't choose you,
My heart did.

Silence
Hera Mar 2021
"Silence!'
He said.
I moved an inch, and again;
"Silence, I said!"
He shouted.
I'm amazed.
How can you see me?
I'm a soul roaming around,
Wanting more souls abound.
So, it's you.
It must be you.
Because you feel me,
Suffer just like me.
149 · May 2021
Come closer
Hera May 2021
I know I should've not come here,
I know I should've not come near,
Hearing your cries,
Makes me want to withdraw all my lies,
'Come closer,' you uttered
I couldn't
Because your life mattered
111 · Jan 2022
Rose
Hera Jan 2022
You gave me a flower with
Thorns that make me cry,
Petals that I wish don't die,
Fragrance that makes me high,
Just how I heave a deep sigh,
I thank you for a memorable goodbye.

— The End —
