sick of hiding in myself
shutting up
holding things in
i wanna cry in an open field
i wanna cry out, not cry in
i wanna not mind the watching eyes
let me be
let me be, self

so much so that
when you involve yourself
in relationships,
they cannot would not could not
force their own persons
in you
because you are very much filled
with your own.
Mariel Rodriguez Jul 2014
I'm 19 and have never loved
Have been loved? I can't be too sure
Sometimes, I like to look around
Watch closely the people around me
And just really wonder if I have met
Someone who can go the opposite way as I
Someone I will forget at one point
But whose end of the cords will still be up
For rekindling, for reliving
Because there is still much to kindle and live on
Even after a long while of thinking
(Probably amounting to 30 years)
"There's not much in here for the both of us anymore"

I like souls talking
Mariel Rodriguez Jul 2014
Give me the quiet while I stare out the window
And watch people, cars and hours pass by
Give me the time to curl up in my bed
And refuse to see the sun rise

Be there if you must, but don’t talk
Hear the explosions in my silence
Don’t let me close my eyes to press them in
Let the tears fall into my cheeks

Because I am not okay. I am not okay.
And I don’t need you telling me I can’t be not fine

— The End —
