Did You Ever Learn to Fly?
The ground flies closer,
The sky runs farther,
The sun sinks sooner,
My heart beats harder,
And like a dream
I die.
288 · Mar 2014
Dare to Dream
I had these rough thoughts
Raggedy, old, worn thoughts
Stuff broken into my mind
I tried to wash it from my hair
The dust remained

Get rid of it

You have to do it yourself

I'll wash it in ink

Ink in my hair

I washed the words out

One reply

"I can't stand you"
288 · Apr 2014
Cliché Teen
I still remember
Places I long to forget
Fake love all from you
I seem to have lost my poetry skills
286 · Feb 2014
Final Shots
Out of breath
Empty pockets
Close to death
A fleeing rocket
Pull up the gun
And soon I **** it
You've cut too deep
You run away
You go to sleep
I hear a bang
283 · Apr 2014
Goodbye
Hey, little boy
I know it's been a while
I've missed you
I realized you could've grown
You might have changed
For better or worse
I know you can't see
I wish you could be here
But things could've gotten worse
Thanks for what you said
We were young
We didn't know much
But you're still wiser then
Than me now
You told me things will get much worse
Thank you
I will be prepared
I loved you
I miss you little boy
I wish you hadn't died that day
I'll see you again
Goodbye

Working Backwards
In gentle stillness
Everything hurts.
I move so quickly
I fall down harder.
I stop completely
As the world goes by.
When I finally find
A perfect balance,
Everything becomes sharp
And slowly I bleed.
281 · May 2014
Dig Your Grave
Pulling the trigger is so easy.
I've killed you so often.
In this way I grow crazy,
Building my own coffin.
276 · Jan 2015
First Kisses
Fogotten in mind.
Eternal in heart.
275 · Mar 2014
Caught
My life shouldn't have begun
I was never one to finish all
I fight til I stop
And I stop every day
I sang to you once
You kissed me that day
I climbed into my sheets
And cried pain away
Now there was no song
Please come back lullaby
Beautiful, come kiss me goodbye
275 · Dec 2014
Cold by Myself
I do silly things
Alone in the cold.
For you my heart sings
Until I grow old.
I am scared of your beauty.
I still love your light.
To hide is my duty.
To slip into night.
274 · Apr 2014
Back
In this endless onward,
I will lose my name.
In this forgotten battle,
I'll inherit shame.
Suns set,
But rise behind us.
We forget our place
And the meaning is lost.
270 · Nov 2014
At a Glance
I wanted to wave,
But you just
Walked on by

You are a poison
That exists only to destroy all that is good.
You are a toxin that seeps through every crack
In all the armour I wore
To try to keep you
From destroying me.
You are a fume
That fills the whole room.
Yet we cannot escape
And there is no cure.
You are family
Somehow you ruined today
269 · Apr 2014
Nameless Follower
In times of distress
I lived unlike the best.
I followed three hearts;
Fell into fear.
Demons shrieked,
Angels cried;
Gods bled;
Devils died.
The end of all.
Fallen creation.
268 · Mar 2014
Relapses
Bad habits
Tried to kick the problem
I fall backwards
Into something, maybe nothing
I'm in there no matter what
Must be black demons
Red hearts
Deep scars
Addiction always there
What's your drug?
Like knives, blue pills
No matter what
Anger kills
Can't fight
Won't win
Gave up
And I'm here again
267 · Jul 2015
Lost
There is no goal to reach.
There is no heaven to seek.
Codemn what they teach,
Believe what you see.
267 · Jul 2015
Prison
If in some strange way
We all shuffle off
The chains that bind us
Without losing ourselves.
Could we live with what
Was real?
267 · Feb 2014
Cold Tea
Cry, he says
no more Tears
Smile they say
a kick in the teeth
Dance with me
my feet ran away
I laughed
She cried
no games to play
I stare at my cup
Nothing to drink
the tea's gone cold
I look to the wall
the paint peels off
I watch her blank stare
The pain screams into my heavy head
Finally I know
No way I'm not dea
266 · May 2014
Close Down
Every day a new addiction,
Bleeding out my contradictions.
Soaring lower than even dirt,
My own soul begins to hurt.
I wish to be free;
To fly for me.
I am slave, though.
In everyway,
I've hit my low.
265 · Feb 2014
Dear Tears
You look so happy
We still see the stains
You laugh at our jokes
We still feel your pain
Now take your anger
and release your fear
Nothing left to say
Life never loved us anyway
Look away from your knife
Now I'll bring you back to life
265 · Jan 2015
You Again
I will feel this pain
If you feel it too
An accidental destiny
263 · Feb 2014
After the Kiss
My ears are covered, yet the screams sre louder
The world is paused, but somehow moves faster
I closed the book, but the end's coming sooner.
I never saw a butterfly, and I've never seen a beginning. There is only a strange circle of workong out. We all lose. I am no great man and my life was a lie
262 · Feb 2014
Strength
What is strong?
What is weak?
Do you know either, Natalie?
You say you're not strong
What are you?
I know that in no way are you weak
There are no expectations to live up to
No limits to defy
There is only you
You're
            Words
                      Thoughts
                                       Actions
                                          Tears            
                               Arms
                       Fears
              Heart
    Scars
Every beautiful streak of light in your smile
Everything in you making you fall
Now, fall back to me
When time comes, run away
You aren't a quitter
Stop trying to give up
262 · Feb 2015
Dear Beauty
Oh flesh that was so sweet
Bring your lips that ours may meet
Lie to me and say you love me
Say I'm the one you want to see.
You went away and now I lack.
I see that now you won't come back
261 · Mar 2014
Headlight
Every night it gets worse
I'm crying and screaming
I am yelling
I'm trying to help myself
I can't do it alone
Please
I'm the boy that fell off his bike
Please
I know I'm ugly
I know I haven't been the same since that day
People, help me

I know I've been different
It was such a dark night
I'm sorry
I tried to stop
Please listen to me
I'm sorry
I tried
I didn't want to **** your son

Human
Curious
To think of eyes
To see a dream
To believe
Growing
Curious to feel
Curious to want
Being human is strange
Being human is all
Life filled to the brim
Moment upon moment
Yet nothing new
Knowledge to understand
Answers to questions
Nothing changes
And it doesn't need to
An eternal sky
Blue or grey
Is a sky
And that's enough
259 · Mar 2014
Blank
I'm at a loss for words
This weird confusion in my head
A funny love in my heart
Right now, I'm blank
Right now, I'm not special
Right now, I'm okay
256 · Feb 2015
I'll Be Gone
The love I desire
From your sweet passion
Shall one day tire.

You may try to forget me
As I try to avoid you,
But with you is where I want to be.

Not kissing in the halls
Not fighting on the phone
Not using your body

Simply sitting there
Looking up at the sky.
255 · Feb 2014
Hard Head (Your Monster)
Lift your head
Taste the sin
Break the bread
Scream again
I see your eyes
I live off dread
Call me lover
I live under your bed
I'm your own monster
I can crack your hard head
The blood it ran
We painted you red
Come now, dear lovely
There's nothing unsaid.
254 · Apr 2014
Dark
Darkness is not lost
Light becomes dark in the night
Dreams live off the dark
I'm am very repetitious. I apologize. I am still a young, immature writer. I can always get better, but for now, I'm not very good. Thank you all so much for dealing with me.

Dumb Eyes
Dumb eyes
Heavy head
Long hair
Great undead
Here I walk
Or do I lay?
No one who's come
Has ever stayed
Am I alive?
Or are you dead?
The fear, it comes
I leave my bed
253 · Feb 2014
The Call
I took a walk
I saw a cross
I knelt down and walked beside Him
He told me what I knew
But what I had to hear:
"You saw the snake,
Ignored the cry
'Here's the apple.
Want a bite?'
Why not eat?
Come,
Walk with me."
253 · Mar 2014
Sunsets Are Silly
Funny to think
Eyes that once thought I was beautiful
Now gaze at the same beauty
And we're now blind to each other
253 · Mar 2014
For Great
Light before night
My heavy conscience burdens me
I let my caged heart spread its own wings
The weight of its balance breaks the bars
But breaks itself
Heart can heal
Heart can break
I am Atlas
I am under everyone
And I am great
252 · Mar 2014
Cuts
I try so hard.
This ****** knife;
It sticks in me.
I can take it out,
Shove it back in,
Push it,
Pull it.

This stupid game.
I try to break it,
But it comes back,
So I try to accept it,
And I lose myself
250 · Nov 2014

Really is it crazy to be jealous of a smile?

Under
Somehow this will **** me.
And that will be okay.
I will lose all control.
And that will be okay.
Somehow I will go backwards.
And that will be okay.
I will be invisible to all.
And that will be okay.
I'll lose all that I love
And somehow it was okay.

Another Love Letter
There's this girl in my life
That frankly I like.
But for now she won't know
The feelings I hide.
I'm too scared to show
These feelings inside.
So I'll laugh and I'll cry,
I'll dance and I'll sing
'Til one day I try
To soon make you see
That I want you
To like me too.
248 · Mar 2015
It's Bad For Me
I was blind
When I saw you

I was amazed
When I met you

I cried
When you left me

I cry
When I still want you

If things ended better
Maybe we could say hello.
246 · Apr 2014
Expedition
I can't even try
I don't know what truly is
I can't see what's true
First attempt at a haiku. Hope it isn't garbage.
246 · Apr 2014
Winds
Wind cannot bring life
Life does not bring good fortune
Fortune, lost in wind
246 · Mar 2014
Days
Reality is strange
Life is an act
Sanity is a privilege
Any path I choose
I'm lost
245 · Jan 2015
Gone
Even tomorrow
You will be missed
244 · May 2015
Don't Run Around
There have been times
That passed by in a blink.

In those days I felt like
They'd never end.

Now I sit alone,
Wondering if days forgotten
May still be remembered.

I know what feeling is,
But do you anymore?

Should we fight together
Or simply fall apart.

Pain hurts more
When you can't feel it.
243 · Dec 2014
Behind Me
You never could know
How beautiful you really areu

**** this shell we call flesh.
I am its victim and prisoner.
I cannot break free
Or fly away,
But I try still.
Oh if only you could see
What it was like to fly.
Or feel what it was like
To melt myself away.
Goodbye

N.R.D.
I saw my initials,
You wrote them there.
You say you hate me.
Go on ahead.
Don't doubt yourself,
I know I deserve it.
I didn't blow you off Monday

The Girl
Today, was the same as they say
No different from yesterday
Likely, tomorrow won't change
But one thing is new
What I know
And what I knew
Or at least thought
It's not about loving the girl
It's about loving with the girl
Growing together
Becoming one through a shared love
And in the end
Loving her anyways
237 · Mar 2014
Love
Not to fight
Not to leave
Not to go
Not to watch
237 · Apr 2015
Paradise
Songs playing
Remind me of you.
What once was,
What will never be.
Even know my love
Says, I'm sorry.
I can never forget
How selfish I was.
