The clouds reach out for the sun to hide her away.
They swallow all of her brightness and beauty, and replace it with darkness and sadness.
Are they protecting her?
Or hiding away all of her beauty from everyone?
So that they can go back inside, to give up trying to look for her.

One day I hope my heart will be strong like the reckless ship beating through a stormy night.
I hope my that my mind will be as safe as a child in her father's arms.
Because nothing hurts more than a broken heart and an unsafe mind.

You said I looked beautiful
Please don't call me beautiful.
It's dangerous
Especially for a girl who is falling, that does not want to fall.
{Especially} For a guy who does not want to fall
For her

Maybe if I say over and over again in my head that I should not be afraid...maybe I'll finally stop being so ******* scared.

I'd like to think of myself as an impossible mystery
One that no one can figure out.
He looks at me for one second, then looks away the next, because he can't solve me.
I keep walking on my broken puzzle pieces hoping someone will soon put them together.
He looks at me, kisses my cheek one second, then walks away with a confused look upon his face.
Another loss for me.
Will I forever be an unsolved mystery?
One that will remain impossible and given up on
Because I simply can't be figured out?

The time ticks day by day
Tick tick tick
I feel trapped in this world
Not a world full of darkness
Nor a world full of light
A world stuck in between
Tick tick tick
I ask myself if I'm going to stay here forever
With no change
The same, constant, same old same old.
Tick tick tick
As I watch the lives around me change
To grow
I wish, and I crave for that.
I want change, I want to grow
Tick tick tick
The time ticks day by day
And every second of every day
I dream
To be in the world that is full of light

Do you think when a leaf falls from a tree is is screaming because it's terrified of falling?
Or do you look at a dead rose and think of sadness or of a love that was once beautiful, but is now dead?
See, the thing about poems is you could say anything and no one would fully understand or grasp what you meant or how you were feeling in that moment.
When I fall, it's a terrible thing. I scream and try to stop myself, but I can't.
In some cases I have, so when I fall...it's rare.
A girl that used to wear her heart on her sleeve, and fall for every boy who smiled at her
To the girl who is intractable, hard to understand, guarded.
Why?
Not really scared of falling anymore, but terrified of someone falling for her.
It's hard to believe you will never fall in love, or have anyone fall in love with you.
{Especially when you are a sucker for any love story you can get your hands on}
This isn't really a poem, but a mess of thoughts...what I'm trying to say...{I think} is that I'm falling and I'm content, yet oh so terrified.
