War
If the night becomes my day,
If my hands burn, like ash
I'll dream the dreams of yesterday
When the world would never crash

If I wake to see the stars
All gone, erased from presence
And hopeless eyes behind the bars
Serving a sentence for innocence

Then I'll know that what I fear
Had madly broken through its door,
With arms and legs, it's standing here:
The horrible monster of human war

But still, I'll dream through countless cries
Of staying alive
When everything dies
A poem I wrote for school a while ago on the topic:  fears of the future.

I wish I could break these stupid habits:
Stop touching my face
To get clear skin,
Stop looking in the mirror
To see how I look
Even though I know I look fine.

I wish I could break these silly habits:
Stop thinking about judgement in every place
that I go,
Not think about makeup
When I go for a swim,

Not look at my body in the mirror
And see
Imperfections of beauty,
Like beauty is something you can easily define.

I look fine.

I'm not mediocre
And, perhaps, I'm not divine,
When I see my reflection
I wish I could stop criticizing
Myself.
And looking at every bump and scratch on my cheeks and nose

I want to break these habits
of self-doubt and insufficient self-worth

I want to break these habits
of not feeling good enough-
When I know that I am.
To everyone feeling this way, I believe that we train our minds into these habits, only realising it when it's too late. But they are only habits and if we try hard enough, we can break them <3

In this moment
I am at one
with the valley of gold and emerald land

The robin's song
is light and free
I am transported to a lost memory

The trees are my walls
The river is my bed
To sleep in,
I'd choose this sweet heaven instead
Inspired by a walk in the park :) <3

We haven't talked in a while,
I lost count after a year.
Long gone are the days
When your load I had to bear

You might think of me
Sometimes, I wonder if you care
You have secrets and I know
That you don't want to share.

For years I used to sit and cry...
Until my eyes could cry no more,
I tried and tried to shut you out,
Ignore the knocking on my door.

Even as I write these words
The memories start to scream,
You're far away, yet some nights
You take form of a dream.

Two long years, it's almost been,
Clearly - I recall
Last time we spoke, your last mistake-
That terrible phone call

Your words flowed, you took no breaths,
Did you even know-
That actions can't be reversed ,
No second chances to borrow.

Oh, how funny- second chance:
To right the wrong of any deed
No, - 200th or 2000th
Is the number that you need.

I'm not writing this to say
I forgive for what you've done,
I just want to let you know-
I'm happier since you're gone.

I loved you like a summer day.

You were all the shades of blue,
The blue was in your eyes,
And more than the sky-
I loved you.

Your touch was a cotton cloud
Soft and light:
Floating around near the Sun.
But even the Sun became blind
When your lips parted
To show a smile.

Your words were like a breeze
Blowing through my hair
On a hot, summer day.
I felt them on my skin
And I felt you -
In my heart.

Your voice was a symphony -
A million raindrops
Falling from branch to branch
After a storm.
Just like the rain does to the Earth-
You gave life to me,
And more than the rain-
I loved you.

I felt the heat of July
When your hand touched mine.
I felt the warm, golden sand
Beneath my feet
When I saw the endless ocean in your eyes.
Your eyes were an ocean.
And more than the ocean-
I loved you.

It was always summer
When I was with you,
You were an infinite day
Of rosy sunsets.
You were my beautiful summer day.
But even more than summer,
Still-
I love you.
Dedicated to nobody specific. I was just inspired by the feeling of being in love and summer <3
