soulmates
Natt Dec 2018
Do you believe in soulmates?
If someone had asked me that question 2 months ago I would have said no
But a month ago,
I met you
And you changed my world
Now I see it in a new light.
You appeared out of no where
And yet you were right in front of me all these years.
So do I believe in soulmates?
Yes I do.
Because I found mine
And he’s the one that completes me now.

winner takes it all
Natt Sep 2018
I never seem to win at this game
Every time I’m close to the finish line
I’m dragged all the way back to the start
Isn’t it funny how love can mess you up?
how ironic tho that this was just a crush

unaware
Natt Sep 2018
You hold this power
Unknown to you
You wonder around
So fragile
Yet so powerful at the same time
You have no idea you possess it
And yet
You have full control

Little girls
Natt Jan 2018
Little girls,
Growing up dreamers.
Dreaming of becoming a princess.
Not because of the ball gowns,
Nor the gigantic castle.

You see,
Little girls dream of,
a happily ever after,
Prince Charming,
And true love.

All these fantasies,
All these stories,
Create that feeling of longing,
That longing to have someone.
To find their Prince Charming.

Little girls,
All grown up now.
Their personality,
Their perspective,
And their dreams,
They all have changed.

But you see,
That fantasy,
That dream,
Remains.
No matter what they become
Or who they become.

Girls will always have that dream with in them.

Oh little girl,
You’re prince will come.
Bringing you’re happily ever after.

Little girl,
Don’t give up.
He’s out there.
He’s on his way.

On his way to find you.
His true love.

safe, happy & in love
Natt Jun 2019
did we end it where it all started?
that place will always be memorable
me running after you in the streets,
you making sure I don’t fall,
me laughing at you for getting scared,
where you asked me to be with you,
watching the nonexistent sunset,
walking in the wind while freezing,
you putting your arm around me,
safe.
happy.
in love.

the chase of 2 souls
Natt Jul 2018
I can’t do this again,
I can’t handle going through this again.

This time,
I’m going to support you instead,
While I hide away.

I’m going to be the supportive one this time,
I’m going to be one to stand behind you
While you chase after your feelings.

For you did it for me once,
Now it’s my turn,

We’re back in the same situation,
Chasing after the same thing
This time the roles are reversed,
I’m going to let you conquer.

Hoping you succeed
Unlike my attempt,

Even though it’ll hurt,
But I’ll be here for you,
At least that’s what I know I have to do.

someone
Natt Jan 2018
That poem,
That sentence,
That word,
they're all about that someone.
try to come up with excuses,
try to convince yourself its not about that person,
it won't work because at the end of the day,
its about you,
yes you.
that someone who hurts you,
that someone who loves you,
that someone who inspires you,
they all appear in art,
your art.
directly, or indirectly, everything you write is about someone.
for how lucky would that someone feel,
if they knew that poem was actually about them.

Jealous
Natt Jan 2018
That stare,
That glance,
Those eyes,
Oh I see them wonder around.
Spreading like a virus,
Infecting our lives,
Why are simple things,
Such small things,
Causing so much pain,
For they are the reason why,
The reason why we fear,

We fear that our hearts will be broken
We fear that our precious
reputation will be lost
And to this day we wonder
Oh how nice would the world be!
Without jealousy in our lives.

Natt Nov 2018
We walked and walked,
Talked about nothing and everything
We finally arrived,
We sat there.
It wasn’t much romantic, nor comfortable but it was perfect for me
Cause you were there
And that’s all I needed

I can still feel my head on your shoulder,
The freezing ground,
Your hands intertwined in mine,
Your kisses,
Your scent,
And in that moment I swear we were infinite

uncomparable
Natt Jan 2019
I might be uncertain about a few things
I might be worried
But whenever I look into your eyes
I know everything’s going to be alright
The feeling you give me
It’s uncomparable to anything I’ve felt before
I look into your eyes
And that’s when it hits me everytime
that
I love you
I’m in love with you
And I know I could look into those eyes forever

Show me the real you.

Who are you in the dark?
Who are you when you’re sitting in your room all alone?
Who are you when it’s 2AM?
Who are you when you feel like all hope is lost?

Show me the real you.

No more walls,
No more small talk.

Just You
And Me.

Pisces
Natt Jan 2018
A Pisces...
Helps without expecting something in return.
Loves silence and being alone but not for too long.
Imagines scenarios 5-7 hours a day.
Loves love.
Wants to share their life with someone.
Overthinks
Deep and emotional.
Great listeners.
******* talented in a form of art.
Knows exactly how to give advice
Puts other people’s problems before their own.
Trustworthy and a great secret keeper.
Clueless at times.
Big heart.
Always wishing the best for everyone.

For you might never know what Love is until you’ve been loved by a Pisces.

The Change
Natt Feb 2018
We come into this world,
Full of hopes,
Dreams,
And ambitions.

Seeing nothing but the goodness in the world.

After a while,
We grow up.
And realize what’s really happening.

Fights,
Betrayal,
And disrespect.
That’s what we see.

The man you once saw innocent,
Is actually a criminal.

The woman you once thought of like a second mother,
Is actually a cruel person.

Where has the world come to?
What happened to that goodness.

It’s gone.

Will you bring it back?

Make a change.
Save the world.

Hide away

Do you know how hard it is
To see you
And not hug you straight away
To pretend I don’t have feelings for you
To just be friends

Hope
Natt Feb 2018
Such a shame,
With no excuse.
Why do people hurt us with no use.

How sad would it be,
When...
Your family,
Your friend,
Blames you,
Discourages you,
Tries to make you go down.

What do we do?
We build up a wall.
A wall so high...
A wall so strong...
Shamelessly they continue.
Day by day,
Brick by brick,
They finally tear it apart.

Waiting at the front,
To hurt you once more.

Stay away,
Don’t interact,
These people will go away
And leave you at last.

Have hope,
For peace will return,

Stay strong my friend,
Happiness will return.

Don’t lose Yourself.
Natt Jan 2018
If I changed?
Would you notice me.

If I talked like her?
Would you talk with me endlessly.

If I acted like her?
Would you come after me.

Don’t change for anyone.

Don’t lose yourself.
Reminder: never change yourself to please others because if you didn’t take time to love yourself who will.
220 · Mar 2018
One word.
Natt Mar 2018
One word.
That’s all it takes.

You changed me.
I am different.
I see the world in a different way,
My perspective has changed.
It’s funny,
How you have such an impact on me.
You make me wonder,
Make me think.

One word.
That’s all it took.

Clear your Mind
Natt Jan 2018
Sometimes we get so caught up,
We get so caught up with chasing someone.
Trying to make that someone like you.
That we change.
We change ourselves.
When in fact,
There’s someone else chasing after you.
Trying to make you like them back.
Did you ever think about that?
Yes there’s this person chasing after you,
Trying to sightly hint that she likes you.
But we get so caught up on trying to impress that someone.
We get so blinded by that someone.
That we don’t realize what’s happening behind us.
And after a while,
When all is said and done,
We stay heart broken,
Thinking about that someone.

Now close your eyes.
And clear your mind.
Think about who that someone who’s trying to give you hints,
Is trying to impress you,
Is trying to tell you something indirectly.
Do you know that person?
Do you like that person back?
If yes, stop chasing that person,
Who doesn’t care about you.
Go after the one,
Who actually likes you back.
215 · Jan 2018
Don’t be afraid.
Natt Jan 2018
Don’t be afraid.
To try,
To go talk to your crush,
To be the first one to raise their hand,
To taste new food,
To be who you want to be,
To share your thoughts,
To join new clubs,
To travel around the world,
To fall in love,
To form new friendships,
To fight back,
To start,
To do what you love,
To sing in public,
To share your stories,
To share your poetry,
To talk,
Don’t Be Afraid.
213 · Jan 2018
Happiness
Natt Jan 2018
The feeling you get when you ace your test.
The feeling you get when you concur your fears.
The feeling you get when you write poems.
The feeling you get with a tiny compliment.
The feeling you get when you listen to your favorite song.
The feeling you get when you imagine scenarios in your head.
The feeling you get when reading horoscopes.
The feeling you get when you spend time with your friends and family.
The feeling you get when you feel that you have made a difference in someone’s life.

Happiness can come in many forms.
And not many do actually realize how much of a blessing it really is.

Happiness,
the feeling which opens a gateway to hope.
For Hope is what makes you face all these difficulties.
I truly believe positivity affects us.
For its all a matter of perspective.
And in your life you’re going to face many challenges,
But facing it with that positive mindset is what determines our fate.

Everything
Natt Jan 2018
Give it to me.
No fear
No doubt,
All you have.
Show me everything.

Give it to me.
All your flaws,
All your thoughts,
All your love,
Everything.

One day,
Maybe one day,
I’ll have you.
All of you.

For now,
A piece is what I have,
A piece of a puzzle,
I hold dear in my hand.

Flesh and blood
Still dead on the inside.

There’s a void.
There’s part of me missing.

I feel neutral.
Not sad,
Nor happy.
Just neutral.

Where have you gone?
Come back to me.

Thinking about it now,
I don’t think I’d be satisfied
If I was with you.

Maybe it was just the thought of having you
That drove me crazy,

Maybe it was all in the chase,

That want,
That feeling,
Has vanished.

It’s gone.

Thinking about it now,
I’m glad
I’ve moved on.

moving on
Natt Mar 2018
How do you move on?
The trick isn’t in forgetting.
Not at all,
The key is to engage with that person,
Even after having confessed your feelings.
You see,
Moving on is not easy,
It’s so ******* hard.
It’s so ******* hard to pretend your feelings don’t exist,
To pretend you don’t want to hug that person so tight and never let go.
To pretend you don’t get excited every time you here their name in a conversation.
To pretend you don’t jealous every time another girl mentions their name.
Behind all of this,
You feel that pain.
You try to hide it.
You try to pretend it doesn’t exist.
But you can’t,
And you know why?
Because we’re human.

When I move on,
You’ll know it.

But for now,
I still like you.

You have this thing,
You crave attention.

You wonder around,
Jumping with praises,

But you see,
You don’t crave that attention from everyone.

You crave it from guys.

Compliments are your drug,
Being fake is your weapon.

You want them to want you.
You trap them in your charm.

After a while,
You leave them behind.

Taking a piece of their hearts
With you.

Cause no one could break my heart like you could right now.

Well good luck then,
Because you're in for a hell of a ride.
An example of my thoughts are through my previous poems, weird, very weird

loves makes people blind.
Natt Jan 2018
Love makes us blind.
Bad qualities disappear
All you see is that person you think is dear.
When the feeling is mutual,
There are no regrets.

But you see,
Being blind at the sight of the person,
Or what you think of that person.
That’s bad.
All you see is that goodness,
All you see is that beauty,
All you see is a future not guaranteed.

Love makes people blind.
Blinded by their own self,
They walk into a path,
Of foolish regret.
This path might seek happiness,
It might seek dread.

Walking on that path,
You might meet the one on the way,
But you were just blinded by that love,
You faded away.

You have arrived to your destination,
You got what you wanted,
Now it’s time to go back,
With that person you wanted.

Times get hard,
Fights get big,
Half the way you lose the prize you wanted it.
Blinded by that sight you were,
Blinded by yourself for sure.

Now you’re all alone on that path again,
Trying to go home,
To your loved ones back again.

Natt Feb 2018
February,
The month of love,
The month of romance.

Why is it so special?
Why are we so keen to celebrate?

February,
When all we see are
hearts,
Flowers,
And chocolate.

We put all our problems away,
And throw on a new face.

For February has come,
The time to celebrate that love.

But when it ends,
Will you be there to pick up the pieces all over again?

Safe Place
Natt Jan 2018
Every person has a place they go to when in trouble,
They call it the safe spot.
It might be sitting in your room in silence,
It the library reading books,
It might be under an umbrella in the arms of your lover.
It’s that place, yes you know where it is.
No it’s not magical,
It won’t protect you completely,
But in that place, light shines on you.
Because in a world of black and white,
All it takes is that little spec of hope
To see the goodness in the world.
That’s a safe place.
Your safe place.

Mad World
Natt Jan 2018
Anger,
Joy,
Love,
Frustration,
These are all feelings which lead to madness.
The anger you feel towards someone,
The joy that overcomes your soul,
The love that makes you go blind,
The frustration that annoys the hell out of you,
All of these lead to madness.
The funny thing is we all have it.
At some point in our ****** up life,
That madness emerges with in you
And bam try to stop it then.
We can all relate to one Another at some point
All it takes is that one look,
That glance,
That feeling,
For it to emerge.
That’s what I love about it.
In this ****** up world you see,
When you meet that person who is as mad as you,
Never let them go.

Midnight
Natt Jan 2018
You know that feeling?
When you’re sitting there,
On your bed in the middle of the night,
Thinking about all your worries.
Well, that’s what I’m feeling right now.
I’m thinking if I should go to England or not?
I’m thinking what will I do in MUN?
I’m thinking about a person.
I’m thinking about school and my midyears.

All these thoughts that are colliding in my head,
All these worries that keep emerging.
Wanting to get rid of them.

It’s that moment in the middle of the night,
When you start to think what’s really going on in your life.

It’s that moment in the middle of the night,
That you start to think,
You start to think about,
Your day,
Your crush,
Your problems,
And all of the simplest and smallest things.

What should You do is the question
Take these worries,
All these worries,
Write them down
Then throw them away
Hoping that one day they will go away.

Expressing your emotions.
Living life to its fullest.

Showing you what you feel in another way.
Making you feel things through it.

Giving your story a meaning.
Showing people what your story really is.

Entertaining a bunch of strangers.
Making connections with new people.

That's what a song really is.

broken
Natt Feb 2019
You entered my world
And changed it completely
You’ve shown me a life I couldn’t imagine without you by my side
You told me things
Promised some things
I guess you couldn’t keep
And like that
I gave you everything
And I loved you with everything I had
But Now you’re gone
There’s a void
A space filled with memories of you
Memories of us
And how beautiful you made life seem
I once thought I could never live without you
Without having you by my side
But you see
I don’t have that choice anymore
I’m forced to go on without you
Without a reasonable explanation
Of why you left
Left me
Left this relationship
When you once said you’d fight for it
Fight for me
But what can we do
I guess people change
Everything changes
But one thing I know is that I still love you
I still love you with all my heart
But giving it to you now would be foolish
As I once gave it to you
With no barriers
No walls
Just me
And now it’s gone
Our love was genuine
My love for you was in its purest form
I loved you for you nothing else but you
I guess that wasn’t enough
I guess I wasn’t what you were looking for
And A piece of my heart will always be with you
But I’m too hurt right now to even look at you
Or even see you
Because now all I see when I look at you is the pain I feel in my heart
That you’ve left
And that’s going a lot of time to fix

I’d like to believe...
that my first love was genuine,
that it was in its purest form,

I’d like to believe...
that you loved me for who I was,
that you didn’t just want me because you wanted to experience love,

I’d like to believe...
that it could have ended it a better way,
that you could have had the guts to say it to my face,

I’d like to believe...
that you were a good person when I first met you,
that you didn’t just lie to my face and fool me with your words,

I’d like to believe...
that you really loved me once

Superficial
Natt Jan 2018
we keep telling ourselves:
no, i'm not superficial,
and when i'll like someone,
i'll like them for what's on the inside.
well i disagree,
the truth is we all are superficial.
after all, our eyes are attracted to what we see,
so yes you will first like someone from the outside.
but you know what i love about this,
its that when you actually do fall in love,
and i mean love not like,
you will fall in love with
their personality,
their perspective of life,
their opinions,
their love for life,
and their heart.
that's what you'll fall in love with.
yes you'll like them at first for
their eyes,
their hair,
and their body,
that's what you'll like.
but falling in love is much deeper than that,
so yes i am superficial,
but that's what i love about love,
for love is when you put aside all whats on the outside,
and discover the real person behind those walls.

Cycle of Crushes
Natt Mar 2018
Like someone.
Stalk them on social media.
Start talking to them.
Try to flirt with them.
Think about them for a while.
Re-text them.
Continue talking for some more time.
Imagine scenarios in your head.
Come back to reality.
Give up after a while.
Before even confessing.
End up all heartbroken on a relationship that never happened.
Think of them from time to time.
Try to convince yourself it would have never happened.
Add them to your list of crushes that never worked out.

Why are humans like this?
I’m like this.

No wonder half the people are single.
That’s because we’re such cowards that we don’t even try.

There are times you internally claim this person to be yours,
And it’s really hard when someone steals that person away from you.

But you just had to take that person away from me.
And now I’m only left with the ashes
Of our past conversations.

Girls are quite simple you see,
Compliment me once a day
And thats worth a thousand gifts.
Hug me for no reason and I wouldn’t stop thinking about that the whole day
Call me yours,
Tell me you love me,
Now those mean the world to me
You see no one actually cares about all those fancy dates yes we do enjoy them but that’s not why we fall in love with you
It’s because of all the small things that we subconsciously want you to tell us everyday
Just as a reminder
Because we’ll never get tired of hearing those words from you
