idk tho
Lily Aug 2015
It doesn't matter how good you can fly
Or how long did it took
What matters is you tried, and tried.
They can be the strongest
And can soar all the highest.
But remember,
Icarus burned his wings
While reaching the sun.
Dream high, but only something you can reach. So when you flop, you don't flop hard. Random 22:50 thoughts hahaha

Poetry
Lily Aug 2015
It keeps me going,
It's keeps me sane,
It calms my mind,
When so many thoughts flood my brain
It gives me a chance to let out
The deepest, darkest feelings
That had been since buried
deep inside my lonely heart.
Poor poem. Pardon

Tell Me
Lily Aug 2015
Sometimes I wonder
If somebody out there
Also feels the way I do.
Does she make others laugh
With her cosmic gags
And novel flops?
And at the end of the day
Does she ever feel sad
Down, broken,
And alone as ever?

Poetry is my Opium
Lily Aug 2015
Poetry is my *****
Deep words get me high
Writing so quenches my thirst,
I'd **** for any rhyme
Lily Jul 2015
I thought we could have it all
That we'd soar high and never fall
Thought we'd have the world on our hands
And free to do the things we want
Actually believed the end won't come
That we would stay forever young
Then it dawned on me
Every color fades
Every new things age
Peter Pan is not real.

First _____ Never Dies
Lily Jul 2015
Maybe it never really dies,
Maybe it just hids there somewhere,
And when you see him again
All of it comes back in a glimpse
Like it were never gone
Like you're 15 again.

Sweet Girl's Vengeance

Sea of faces
So many names
People i'd like
To cross out on my list
This boy in particular
Shall I make him slowly suffer
Or die a quick painful death

Hey Spring
Lily Jul 2015
Dandelions in blossom,
Grandma's garden in full bloom,
My apple tree has its leaves again,
Air filled with flowery scent.
Cats and kittens licking each other
Ready to catch its prey
The neighbor's dog barking
Wanting to go out and play
Children playing, swimming, biking,
Children everwhere.
Of course they're joyful,
Who isn't anyway,
When the season turns into spring.



© Leigh Herondale  *July 2015
I came from a tropical country so I haven't really experienced spring but I want to write about it based on my perception so here it is. People from countries with four seasons, how is spring really?

Let Go

Come on honey
Go on
Pull the trigger
The blood.

It will hurt
But only a little,
Then you're on euphoria.

"Forever" is overused,

Dear Future Husband
Lily Jul 2015
Dear future husband,
I wanna meet you soon.
I'm gonna love you back
Way, way up to the moon.
Everyday i'll cook you food,
Even though i'm not sure how to.
And on our wedding night,
I'm gonna show this poem to you.

That Girl
Lily Jul 2015
That girl who always smiles,
She's crying deep inside.
When you think you really know,
Well newsflash honey, you don't.

When she says "I'm fine"
Please don't believe her lies
She'll never tell you why
But at least give it a try

When she says "I hate myself"
It most likely is true.
So please be there for her
And tell her to not be blue

That girl who always clowns around
And makes everybody laugh
Believe me when I say she's unhappy,
I know 'cause she is me

This Boy, That Girl
Lily Jul 2015
That girl who likes to cheer
This boy who likes to cheat
That girl who loves to laugh
This boy who loves to sneak
That girl who truly cares
This boy who always lie
That girl who fully trusts
This boy who's somewhat sly
One day they met,
I'll let you decide for the rest.

J
First saw you when I was 10
Didn't even care back then
We met again when I was 13
Something tagged in my heart strings

Then we became friends
You used to tease me everyday
We'd sit in the back of class
Exchange jokes, stories, ideas

When I was 14 you tried to court me
And I said no, you're kidding
No, my parents won't let me
No, i'm not ready

Now i'm 19
I see you happy with her
I can see she really loves you
And I know you love her too

So sometimes I wonder
If I had given us a chance
Would I be that one beside you today
Would I be the one making you laugh
Instead of that girl

Hear My Apology
Lily Jul 2015
I'm sorry for the lonely,
I'm sorry for the mad.
I'm sorry for the poor,
For the things they ever want.

I'm sorry for the hungry,
I'm sorry for the bad.
I'm sorry for the rich,
Never contented of what they had.

I'm sorry for the fool,
I'm sorry for that lad,
For that girl who trusted him
For his gift of broken heart

I'm sorry for the world.
I'm sorry for those blood,
I'm sorry for these sins,
Oh please forgive me God.

How Fucked-up Right?
Lily Jul 2015
She assumed it was commitment
But he was up for just a musement
Oh how she held him tight
All the while he played her right
Hers is a dreamy future with him
His head in the clouds, of partying and daydrem.
To him he's just another girl
To her he is her whole world.

A Writer's Dilemma
Lily Jul 2015
I want to write and inspire the world,
My words carved in their mind
As they soar their wings and fly.
I want to be an instrument
Softly playing all the goodness of the Earth
And a reminder
That broken wings can be mended and fly again

Sometimes
Lily Jul 2015
Sometimes I wish I was Margo Roth Spiegelman
I want to be able to follow my heart and do the things I've always wanted to
I want to dance with wind
Feel the grass beneath my feet
The stars to blanket me with sparkle
And the moon to light my face
I've always wanted to run
And never look this way again
To be the captain of my own soul
Seizing all the hours of my day
I have feet because I know I wasn't meant to stay on the ground
I wasn't given wings because I know I am no angel
But I knew I was destined to fly
When I die, put this on my grave. Tysm.

Win The Fight

All alone again tonight
In my head screaming
"I hate my life"
Don't know how long
can I hold on
Or will I just
start moving on?
Been screaming for help
But nobody tried
Tell me how.
Am I supposed win this fight?

Pretty, Famous, or Dying
Lily Jul 2015
She has those glorious locks and luscious lips,
And tiny legs that match her perfect hips.
Whenever she smiles everyone seem to stop,
Whenever she speaks people listens up.
Everybody loves her.

She's a star, a very good teen actress,
Mesmerizing the crowd is what she does best.
On twitter she has millions of followers,
Fans that watch her every move, every hour.
Everybody loves her.

She's sunken, sick, and frail,
Thin as a stick, ghostly pale
The doctors say it won't be long
Until the time she'll take her final breath and be gone
Everybody suddenly loves her.

This is our world,
The sick society we are in.
In here, nobody really cares,
Unless you're pretty, famous, or dying.
I've always loved the line "Nobody really cares unless you're pretty, famous or dying" and for me that was absolutely true and I hate our society for that so I got inspired to write this. And, this poem is a shout out to every girl that goes unnoticed and has very low self-esteem-- like myself. You are worthy, you are loved, you are relevant just like everybody else, so please don't think so lowly of yourself. You might not know it right now but someday, someone will think of you as though you are their world, like the sun rises and shines with you, and will love you much that will make you forget every insecurity you're having right now. Please don't give up just yet. Smile :)

I'm Okay
Lily Jun 2015
I wish he'd unlove his girlfriend and fall for me instead.
Am I too bad?
No.
'Cause for starters, he doesn't even know me.
I'm just watching him from afar.
I'm okay.

Kaye
Lily Jun 2015
You reached for my hand
And held it strong
You made me believe
That we'll be strong
But when the going gets tough
You were the first to let go
Leaving me hanging
In a broken line of holding on
This poem is for a broken friendship. Nothing hurts more than having to stop talking to a friend because she does not want you to anymore.

She
Lily Jun 2015
She
She's not just "a girl you know"
or someone you see on the streets.
Above anything, she's a dream
a gift
a miracle
every inch of her is a universe
you'd have trouble trying to define.
Tell her you love her
only if you really do,
if not then leave her alone.
You can try to fool her
but you should know
you're the one to fall down
in the end.

What's the good in falling in love
When in the end
All you get is a jaded heart,
A cut in the wrist,
An empty pocket.

when to quit,
and when to move on,

Before It's Too Late
Lily Jun 2015
I want to tell her it's okay
That her body is hers and hers alone
And having excess fat is okay.

I want to tell her that
She can't look like those girls in the magazine
because those girls don't look like that for real.
And it's okay.

I want to tell her that maybe
he still hasn't notice her
because God chose someone better.
And it's okay.

I want to tell her that falling in love
and getting hurt in the process
is a part of life.
And even if you cry it's okay.

Finally I want to tell her that
saying no to drugs,
turning down alcohol,
and respecting elders
is not old school.

That friends can laugh at your face
for being 'boring' for refusing things,
but you know it's what's right
And it's okay.

Hari
Lily Jun 2015
Cannot forget the day, January 19th,
Can still recall the pain,
Everything I dealt with,
But when I saw you smile I just melted
I love you so much my son,
You are my greatest wealth.

Four years passed and you're growing up
To be a great man,
Oh just like your Pop.
Though sometimes I just wanted
To hold you in my lap,
And whisper words like
"Honey, never grow up".

Another four years
And maybe you'll forget about this
Cake eaten, balloons popped, opened unwanted gifts,
No matter, I will always remind you this:
"I love you Hari"
And say it with a kiss.

This one, I wrote last January 12 for a contest of a mom with a son named Hari celebrating his fourth birthday. This got me a gold kk hope you like it too :)

Story of A Common Girl
Lily Jun 2015
Everyday she walks alone
Keeping her head bowed down
But she knows she's a princess
With an imaginary crown

One day she met a boy
She thought whom was the one
Made her promises of forever
Asked for everything but none

But colors fade away
So did her perfect guy
He found someone 'better'
Left without any 'goodbye'

Now her heart was broken
She walks alone again
Left with nothing but memories
Of a boy she loved back then.


© Leigh Herondale  *January 2015
This is the poem I first wrote and posted for another poetry site last Jan. 11. Let me know your thoughts.
