Oh the stars and moonlight
The stunning shine
But that shine is not enough to get you out of my mind
Morning walks
While we just talk
Nights on the grass
While we wish for time to not pass
Stuck in our own world
Were it's just us
The sun rises
And I too arise
Look to my right
And you are not in my sight
For you, my darling
Only live in my dreams
This is about wanting someone so bad that you dream about them and wake up to reality and realize that they are nowhere to be found.
Maddie 3d
Put on right out of the womb, a crown was placed on her head
5 diamonds are placed to represent each burden
Perfection
Therapist
Extra parent
No remembrance of her childhood
And giving when there's nothing left to give
As the years go on, she will make mistakes
Hers being the hardest to forgive
She will take the pain and burdens of the ones who brought her into this world and others without a second of hesitation and still feel as if she is not enough
She will me extraordinarily mature for her conquest asked of her
But not nearly mature enough for what she wants
She will put every person before her
But when she does something for herself, she's called selfish and lazy
She surrounds herself with books to take her to a place that expects nothing but the flip of a page
Countless times,
She will compare herself to others
She will stay up late working on that paper to get extra points just to please her parents
She will have impossible expectations to meet
Do you know who she is?
She's the eldest daughter
She won't want to have kids for the fear of putting her oldest through the same pain
But most of all, she won't get what she craves the most
Unconditional love
If you've read my profile bio, you would know that I am the oldest of 5. It's hard. It's hard to be the oldest with so much on our shoulders that isn't our to carry. This poem expresses how I feel about it. And to all the oldest siblings- YOU ARE ENOUGH. AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!
Maddie 7d
There it lays- in millions of shattered pieces
My heart, destroyed and scattered on the floor
The remnants of the tears that now stain the pillow
All because it was her- it was never going to be me, was it?
You say the sweetest things
Play with my hair
But it will never be me, will it?
No matter how hard I try
And try
And try
It'll never be me
Go on
Go pick her like you always do
Don't worry about me
I'll be fine
My heart can weather this pain once more
But don't worry darling, you've only shattered it once before
I'll always be by your heart and you'll be by mine
Even when it's you who shattered my heart
This is based off of how I feel and how others feel when they love someone who they can't have. For me, it's my best friend. And when I wrote this, it brought me to tears to  re-read it. This is a story about loving someone who always chooses someone else, but no matter what, it'll always be him/her. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did. And remember, there IS someone out there made for you and that will love you for you.

Love, Maddie
