Have you guys ever noticed how the the person u follow
Or a persons profile on hp says that they have
Say, 50 poems?
But u can only see 10?
Well, i do.
And it’s so frustrating!
Only when i logged out i can see it,
And i cant even react or comment to it.
:(
If only it was fixed….
All those beautiful poems i can’t read and/or react to…
As it all sinks into black ink
And flecks of white paints the sky,
I can’t help but think
How I screamed till my throat ran dry.

Sharp, harsh voices, cutting across the silence
Made my throat go raw.
I let out all my feelings in noise, for I hate to choose violence.
And during the still of the night, when not a soul saw
That was when I needed guidance.
Cause under that night sky, my voice thundered into a jar.

I just needed to feel the adrenaline,
Of being in pain,
Being weak,
Confused,
Hurt,
Constrained,
Useless,
Misunderstood,
Small.­
So I can finally understand them all
Experimenting more on descriptive poems

Idk why, but i wanna have that feeling of crying. Especially the one after crying, like, u know. It’s so relieving. It’s good to cry once in a while, but i have no reason to rn.
What is it, my dear?
Why is there a tear,
Glistening down your cheek.
What is it, dear child, do you seek?

Oh, fairy godmother!
It is they, they're the bother!
With their snobbish attitude,
Leaving me here, in solitude.

They make my heart aches,
While I give them smiles that are all fakes.
They don't listen to me!
You see,
They cut my words like a dagger,
Which makes them the ragger!

Life with them is tough
And if I try to talk, they'll scoff.
So I just keep quiet,
While they make a nonsense riot.

Fairy godmother, I beg of you,
To cast a spell that's true,
That would help me
And set me free.

Oh, that, my dear, I can.
But here's the plan:
You follow after me,
For saying what I say is the key.

Let your voice roar like thunder,
And not carelessly blunder.
Let you stand tall like a mountain in the storm,
With your bravery taking form.

Say what you need to say,
For how else would they change their ways?
Let them hear you roar like a lion,
So you'd stand out like Orion.

With words of strength and a heart of gold,
Let courage take flight, and make you bold.

The Toffee Knight
Khadi Alza Mar 30
He’s playful,
He’s charming.
A knight for all the darlings.

Yet sweet,
And kind!
And knows what's on your mind.

A leader,
When needed.
Facing challenges with his calm.

A master with swords,
And a wielder of words.
A master of both worlds.

Knows how to make me smile
Laugh,
And feel loved.

A knight in shining armour,
For me to call my own.
If only he existed...
One day guys, one day

Dah Nak Raya La Guys!
Khadi Alza Mar 30
Ramadhan is coming to an end
And Eid is on its way.
Come with me my friend,
And together we will ride the waves
To our little 𝘒𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘨, listening to songs on end
And going through jams that might as well last for days.

The family is waiting for us,
With food stacked up high.
Pretty clothes is a must,
For saying we love ugly ones is a lie.

Eid is coming my friends!
So let's have some fun!
Eid Mubarak! Or as my people say, Selamat Hari Raya!

Dull Gems
Khadi Alza Mar 30
Clouds of grey above their heads,
Mopping heads on their beds
Negativity possessed their mind,
The friends I know, I can no longer find.

Why is it at this age,
We're all consumed by rage?
Wait, scratch that.
It's more of a hazy stormy mat.
Shrouded around our shoulders,
Making us bend like we're carrying boulders.

I kind of find it confusing,
Was it really their choosing?
Or is it the environment that changed them?
Now they shine like dull gems.
I hope they'll turn out all right
And hope that the hidden war they fight,
Will eventually be conquered.
And that, would make me feel honoured.

I Remember...
Khadi Alza Mar 28
I remember the way the wind carried your hair.
I remember that you laughed like a maniac.
I remember how you'd whine when things weren't fair.
I remember you calling me a brainiac.

I remember when you had to leave.
I remember the tears falling off my sleeve.  
I remember you saying goodbye.
I remember when my heart sighed.

I remember that was when I realised,
I remember that I loved you...
Just found a fun poetry prompt on Pinterest

They met!
Khadi Alza Mar 27
Smiling wide,
Talking polite.
Standing tall,
In the ball.

His eyes drift,
And the world shifts.
His eyes got caught,
By the princess's train of thought.
                                            
                                                            The princess caught him peeking,
                                                                ­     Her dazzling eyes gleaming.
                                                       ­                          Looked away she did,
                                                            ­        Blushing as red as a little kid.

                                                           ­         She hoped he was a dreamer,
                                                        ­         For she wanted him to lead her
                                                             ­                          In her nightmares.
                                                              Ke­eping her safe from the stares.

Like Theirs
Khadi Alza Mar 27
A love like theirs,
Is something I wish for.
Sweet moments spent together,
No matter the weather.
All of those cares,
Genuine and from the core.
So beautiful,
So sweet.
Always truthful,
And such a treat.

Maybe one day,
With the right one.
The one who'd make me stay,
Making me feel like I've won.

That day will come,
Maybe years from now.
But will I be ready to drum
The beats of love and take a vow?
Khadi Alza Mar 24
"Aw, man,
I wish I could be like them."
But be careful what you wish for.
They may seem all happy and perfect,
Shining bright like the stars.
But what kind of scars
Do they hide behind all those smiles?
Mar 24 · 49
Expectations
Khadi Alza Mar 24
Fudge adults!
For setting high expectations,
For their kids who are trying their best!
For making us think we are not enough,
When really we are.

For making us think that we aren't perfect,
When in reality no one is.
For comparing us,
Making us feel not worthy
Of their expectations.

For asking us to be something they wish for,
An amazing kid to brag about.
Those expectations,
Weigh us down.
Too much, too much.
Could you at least lighten the load?

We're kids for crying out loud!
Not adults like you are.
I'm tired of what you think we should be,
When I'm older,
I'm gonna break free.
Adults are ok, but sometimes not u know? did this for fun
                     free verse poetry is fun! :D

The Princess
Khadi Alza Mar 18
Dazzling eyes tells a million stories.
A beautiful wide smile hides her worries.
Standing in the ball,
Feeling ever so small.

Eyes drift to the prince,
And for a second, she was convinced,
That behind that kind, charming demeanour,
Lies something like her: a dreamer.
An ode to one of my earlier poems, 'The Prince'
Khadi Alza Mar 17
You’ve changed a lot they say.
So different from before.
Older and more mature,
More responsible than before.
Wiser, kinder,
More considerate and taller.
So, so different they say.

They've changed too.
Still the same but not.
Happier still,
But with tight smiles,
Hiding something—What?
I do not know...

So, so different,
Then the eight-year-old you knew.
We're different now Sir,
Different now Ms.
We've changed.
For the good or bad...
Who knows?

All I know is that...
A lot changed us.
New experiences,
New people.
Of course, we changed.
But was it that obvious?
Khadi Alza Mar 13
We all wanted to grow up,
Wearing the big kids crown.
But now…
All I want to do is grow down.
Time is too fast. Changes comes too fast.
If only I could stop time…
Khadi Alza Mar 11
Love is in the air.
Hearts are floating everywhere.
I try not to get affected,
So my heart won't be abducted.
Not yet anyway.
I don't want to feel these feelings any day.

But yet,
I can't help feeling it too.
I try to put my heart in a net.
But then it'll have nothing to do.
I beats slightly faster,
When I see that face.
To make it stop is to be a master,
In wrapping your heart with protective lace.

Could it be influence?
Cause everyone has hearts above their heads.
Or maybe I feel the need,
To feel like the others and bleed.

I'm trying my best,
To not go on with their fest.
I need to escape.
And put on some tape,
Onto their mouths,
To stop creating some doubt.

And when they talk about this 'love',
I feel like a lost little dove.
A dove who forgot how to fly.
They sound so silly,
It doesn't make any sense, really.
I feel like they're lost in their head.
And now it's replaced with a pink bubbly head.
Khadi Alza Mar 4
Racecars whirring in my mind,
Thoughts trying to find
A reasonable explanation
To this new info as big as a nation.

Oh, it's just such a fiddle!
It all sounds like a riddle
For me to crack,
But the skills, I lack.

Is this really true?
Is this really you?
Cause it doesn't sound like the girl I knew.
It's as if you were someone new.
Someone that I don't know of,
Not the same I know and love.

I wish one day you'd tell me,
I want to ask you, yet let you be.
For it is your choice,
Your voice,
And only you know the true story.

I wish I never knew,
Then I would have never questioned you.
Yet I can't help ask myself:
Are you really the girl we thought?
Or in my head, I'm just caught?
She probably is the girl we all know and love, mby I'm just overreacting...and besides, I don't know the whole story, or whether what I heard was true.
might be overreacting...can't help it though :)
Khadi Alza Mar 3
A dark, wispy being
That flutters from here to there.
Captures moments full of memory,
In paper for one to stare.

He uses his wispy hands,
And snatches these moments.
Whether as small as a grain of sand,
Or as huge as the wide lands.

He’s obsessed with them,
These moments.
For him, they’re like gems.
If not collected, they’ll be lost in the torrent
And forever be slipping past his hem.

These moments have power,
That only he understands
The strong ones bellow louder,
When held in his hands.
The small ones are like powder.
Alone, they cannot stand.

If you made some with him,
These moments, I mean.
Then beware: he’ll trim and skim
Then put them on paper to be seen.
Khadi Alza Mar 2
You see that girl?
With short brown hair,
That ends up in a swirl?
The one in the pretty dress,
The one thats a lovely green mess.

Well, she’s sweet,
And wise,
A million stories behind her eyes.

Kind,
Thoughtful,
Oh, what a beautiful mind.

Hardworking,
Cause she’s afraid she’ll fail.
She’s listening,
For no one heard her wail.

Ambitious,
Cause she’s afraid she’s not enough.
Expressive,
Because her mind is rough.
Friendly,
For she wants people to feel welcomed and stuff.

She’s not perfect,
She knows.
Yet everyone shows her respect,
Which is where her heart goes.
Feb 25 · 146
Which One?
Khadi Alza Feb 25
Which one’s easier?
To focus on the good?
Or the bad?
The negative
And the sad,
Or the positive
And the glad?
Lately, I’ve been wondering why people tend to see the bad first. Maybe it’s negativity bias—our brains are wired to notice danger more. Bad things feel stronger, stick longer. Stress and self-doubt don’t help either. But the good is still there… just harder to see.

A Bubblegum Noble
Khadi Alza Feb 22
Daughter of the noble family,
Yet she doesn’t act like one.
Not much formality,
Cause all she wants is to have fun!
But her parents want her to live to their reality,
Of being a sweet little one.

She tries to meet their expectations,
But she just can’t!
Which makes complications,
That her parents would always rant.

She’s funny,
And loud!
Yet they expect her to be a honey,
And go on with the crowd.

Well not her.
She’s doing her own thing.
Like ruffling people’s fur,
By making up odd ships to sing.

Plus hearts are her thing.
She makes them float everywhere,
Even in front of the king.
But like I said, she doesn’t care.

And she’ll never change.
Why would she?
Although she might be strange,
She’ll always be filled with glee.

Cotton Candy Princess
Khadi Alza Feb 20
As she eats her ice cream,
Everyone who walks past her sees a daydream.
A smiley, sweet little girl,
Whose hair is in soft beautiful curls.

Not only is she kind,
But she has a wonderful beautiful mind.
Sweet, and polite,
Always having a soft glowing light.

A beautiful smile,
That fits her beautiful style.

But I wonder,
What is under,
Her head.

Maybe,
She doesn’t like people,
Seeing her like this instead.
Feb 19 · 58
Pop Rock Princess
Khadi Alza Feb 19
She looks in the mirror.
A wicked grin on her face.
She looks a bit nearer,
At her style of taste.

Electric pink hair,
******* in a wavy ponytail.
Her eyes—a sparkling lair,
With glitter slithering along its trail.

A star kissed jacket,
Bright colourful sneakers.
Rings wrapped around like a packet,
A dazzling sight for all the peekers.

She’s the Pop Rock Princess,
Of course she stands out.
And I must confess,
She’s a colourful sparkly shout.

But she has her days,
And the other princesses will be there for her,
On those bad days.
Had the idea of my friends as candy princesses.
This is one of them.
(Its Ari btw, the princess.)

No Wonder
Khadi Alza Feb 19
Sometimes I wonder:
Why not me?
But then I pondered:
Maybe they need it more than me...

The Tale of Your Face
Khadi Alza Feb 19
Your face has a story,
A beautiful one at that.
You may think it doesn't have much glory,
But once said a wise old rat:

𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦,
𝘐𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦,
𝘖𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭,
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦,
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘭,
𝘐𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦,
𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

And yes, most of the time this is true.
So don't look glum when you look in that mirror.
Just blow away the blues.
And you might see yourself a little bit more clearer.

So cherish the words of the wise old rat.

And that,
Is that.
Khadi Alza Feb 12
An act of kindness,
Big or small,
Is the finest
Gift of all.

A helping hand,
Or a sweet comment,
Can help someone stand
And live in the moment.

Eyes would sparkle,
Mouths would stretch.
Then we'd wrangled
A happy-faced sketch.

It would turn someone's day
Upside down.
From a frowny face way,
To a sweet, cheerful crown.

Sadly,
Things like this are rare.
We'd lose our way,
If no one cared.

But don't give up,
It's still out there.
But it won't show up,
In front of you to stare.

Instead, it's in you.
You need to make the first move.
Whatever it is that you do,
The world might have a better groove.

Who knows,
You might inspire someone too!
Been on the receiving end of this lately.
Makes me wanna spread love and kindness, and be just like them!

The Weight We Carry
Khadi Alza Feb 7
We all needed that person,
Who'd hold our hand,
Or gave us a hug,
When things start to worsen.

Or they'd assure you,
And tell you,
That everything will eventually be ok.

But unfortunately,
Not all of us have the luxury,
Of people like that in our lives.

So here we are,
Learning to stand alone,
Lightening the weight we carry.
Feb 6 · 70
All lies
Khadi Alza Feb 6
She's selfish,
they say.
Always wanting things her way.

Such a know-it-all,
they murmur.
She sometimes makes us feel small.

What a bragger,
they rant.
She's too much, we can't!

A ton of confidence,
they utter.
Bet that made no difference.

High achiever,
they complain.
Oh, she's such a pain.

Too competitive,
they prattle.
Not at all sensitive.

All lies.
All lies
All lies.

Well,
sometimes.
Khadi Alza Feb 2
Small and petite,
Yet so sweet.
Kind and thoughtful,
Never awful.

But I wonder...
What secrets lie behind that smile of hers?

What did she went through?
What did she had to hide?
How much did she grew?
How much did she suffer on the ride?

Everyone's always looking for her help,
As if she were the problem-solving elf.
But who does she find,
When things start to get out of her mind?

When she gave them her sweet smile,
I wonder.
Is she fine?

The Prince
Khadi Alza Jan 31
Smiling wide,
Talking polite.
Standing tall,
In the ball.

Eyes sparkling,
Oh, what a darling.
Yet a mystery,
With such a history.
Khadi Alza Jan 28
The newlyweds stood next to each other,
Smiling widely as they finally came together.
Fingers entwined,
As their thoughts unwind,
Of how strong their love is for one another.

But far away,
By the cake display,
There stood their friend,
Who had attended, but otherwise pretended.

As she watched, her thoughts went wild,
But she managed to put on a bittersweet smile.
She's happy for them,
Together they shine like a stunning gem.

But she can't shake it off,
The feeling that made her go soft,
When she realised she would never be like them.

Never,
Ever,
In
A
Million
Years.

Well, that was before he came along.
He came into her life pretty strong,
His laughs as sweet as a song,
And when she laughed along,
It was the greatest singalong.

Who’ll Miss Me?
Khadi Alza Jan 26
When I’m not there,
Would someone care,
And notice that I’m gone?

Would someone think of me?
Miss me?
And if so, who?

Would someone do anything just to hear me,
With that voice like the waves of the salty sea?
Would they stack a gazillion files,
Just to reach me on my mountain to see my smile?

Would someone’s chest be an empty black void,
And feel like they’re being toyed?
Cause I’m gone, not there,
For them to smile at and stare.

And when I'm there,
Which one of them would care,
And have a glow so bright,
That could light up the darkest night?

But who?
And if there was someone,
Would I think of them like that too?
Jan 24 · 56
Bittersweet Time
Khadi Alza Jan 24
It’s crazy how a moment with you,
The ones that has no rhyme or tune,
Can turn into a memory.
And how that happens is a mystery.

One second we were in the moment,
And the next I could only lament.
Jan 21 · 154
You
Khadi Alza Jan 21
You
Soft, dark ringlets,
Scattered across your brow.
Your hands covered in trinkets
And holding a soft linen gown.

A crooked smile on your face
And deep dark eyes ablaze.
You, with the tie of lace,
The greatest thing to gaze.
Jan 14 · 71
Just A Rant
Khadi Alza Jan 14
I stepped foot in the bookstore,
Shelves upon shelves filled with books.
I ran to explore
The books pretty looks.

One caught my eye,
The one I always wanted!
But I can't lie,
It's pretty expensive, and I feel like the price is haunted!

But I bought it anyway.
I wouldn't skip a chance to leave it alone.
I ended the day,
With purchasing a book I've always known.

I flipped it's delicate pages,
It's smooth texture rubbing against my hands.
With words that can make me waste ages,
And making me want to stay in that land.

A good read I must say,
But...

I found the same book online.
Although it had some tears,
The price was quite fine.
It could save me a ton for years.
An offer I could not decline.

Arghh!
If only I bought that one instead...
Oh, well.
The book was trial of apollo btw, if anyone was wondering

Just a Poem Challenge...
Khadi Alza Jan 14
I was pulling out my hair,
I just wanna shine!
So put on your war paint.
I had a dream so big and loud,
That somedays you're the only thing I know.
I paint my face with glitter in the morning light,
'Till I saw blue-haired boy.
Hey,
It's cruel you know.
Jan 13 · 68
Paper
Khadi Alza Jan 13
I guess we're like paper.
The handmade ones I mean.

Before that, we had a sheen,
We were a large empty sheet.

But sometimes we've broken down
Into useless little pieces that would make one frown,
And can't find a way
To fix ourselves in less than a day.

But you can't just tape paper
When it's ripped by life's alligator.

You have to make something new
With that familiar thing, you once knew,
And mix it up with unfamiliar things,
So you can give that paper some zing.

Now it's something new.
No longer the thing you once knew.

A thing with a past,
That if stood alone, would not last.

Feathers
Khadi Alza Jan 7
Two friends sat together,
In a field full of feathers.
One as sweet as a berry,
The other ever so cheery.

The two were very close,
And both thought that mice were gross
Having seen one on their toast.

They were like peas in a pod,
Some thought they were odd.
But they didn't care.
They'll just give them a stare.

But one day,
That all changed.

The two never joke.
Actually, they never spoke.
Not even a glance.
They're not gonna take that chance.

But the field is still there,
Now it lay bare.
The white feathers gone,
Leaving a thin yellow lawn.

We're Just Friends!
Khadi Alza Dec 2024
I laughed as you asked me if I and that guy are together.
I had to wipe the tears from my face when I said, "No, we're not together.
Never, ever in a million years.
We're only friends, not lovers."

You said we're a perfect pair,
Well, put that thought back into your hair,
'Cause the both of us are just friends.
We're not gonna follow the trends,
And suddenly be each other's 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞-𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧-𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.

I know I sometimes call him cute
When I see his hair ******* and dressed in a suit,
But I mean it platonically,
Not romantically.
Plus, he likes another girl,
And I another guy.
That's why you'll never catch us together,
'Cause we don't like each other.
Well, not in 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 way.

You still think we'll end up together,
Like those romance novels you read since forever.
But I can assure you,
Those dreams will never come true.
We're just friends.
Why ever would we be lovers?
they really think we're a match, but we're just FRIENDS

Tick-tock
Khadi Alza Dec 2024
Tick-tock, tick-tock,
Now I am in my bed.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,
But my world spins, and now I’m in a hall of red.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,
Now flowers filled with stories start to spread.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,
All of this might just be in my head.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,
My body feels as numb as lead.

Tick-tock, tick-tock,
The year felt so fast, yet so slow, you said.

Tick-tock…
Tick…tock.

L!
Khadi Alza Dec 2024
L!
Loser, Loser, Loser.

You asked me why I felt that way.
That hatred I felt towards you the other day—
It’s not you; it's me.
But maybe it is you.

It's me because I have my suspicions.
For some reason, I think you’re malicious.
But not in that way.
I just think you're a sore loser.
So please go away.

It's you because of the things you do.
It makes me want to go and puke.
Plus, I'm scared.
I hope you don't feel what I think you feel.
If you do, I'm dead.

And here you are, asking me why.
Just go away, will you?

Loser, Loser, Loser.

In My Lows
Khadi Alza Nov 2024
I blink,
Is this real?
I blink,
I hate this deal.

I blink,
I wonder what they think.
I blink,
I'm gonna sink.

I blink,
I hope it doesn't spread.
I blink,
Is it just in my head?

I can't hold it anymore,
So off it goes,
Flowing forevermore,
Tears when I'm in my lows,
Flowing in the shore
Of what I call, my imagination.

The Game
Khadi Alza Oct 2024
My legs feel numb,
And I feel dumb,
Standing here in this field,
Having to deal
With all these feels.

With their swift feet
And agile feats,
Who couldn’t possibly smell defeat?

I try and try,
But wonder why.
Am I not good enough?
Am I not as tough?

In defeat,
I watch their incredible deeds,
Like their beautiful leaps
And graceful twists.

I watched them for a while;
Oh, what style!
The way they caught it—
A perfect fit!

Then one of them noticed me.
It was a boy, you see.
He smiled at me—
Oh, what a sight to see!

He invited me along,
And before I thought for too long,
He tossed me the disk,
And I caught it between my fists—
Oh wow, it fits!

I tossed the disk into the air
To God knows where,
But he caught it in midair,
And now my mind sounds like a fair.

I did it!
I did it!
I did it!
I actually did it!

I pumped a fist into the air,
And of course, I added a little bit of flair.
I prepared my stance,
Ready to dance this metaphorical dance
And do my very best
With a little bit more zest.

I guess I learned a thing or two—
I should never, ever put people on a stool
And think I'm so bad
That everyone who walks by would gag.

Instead, I should have fun,
Under this warm sun,
With the breeze blowing by,
And my team by my side,
