“She’s fearless”
They might say.
But I shake
My head because



One cannot be brave who has no fear.

We were our own fairytale,
But not one you would read.
Sure, we were quite happy
But my heart will always bleed.

“You’re perfect together”
Everyone would say then,
But on the deep inside
I knew we had to end.

We’d walk home in sadness;
My hand would be in yours
We knew I’d have to leave
This place that we called ours.

Now I’m gone for good
No one truly knows why
But we do, and I’m glad
That I got to be your life.

Aina päivällä kun lähden kouluun
Aina yöllä kun nukkuun vaan
Pidän kädestäsi kii
Pidän kädestäsi kii.

Vaikka et oo olemassa enää
Vaikka kuolit jo
Pidän kädestäsi kii
Pidän kädestäsi kii.

A movie with a plot twist;
I didn’t see it coming
It shocked me somehow even though
You were always cunning.

A ballad with a key change;
You could’ve stayed the same
But you left me with a hole in my life
And you left me here to pay.

Society has many rules
And poems have them, too.
“It has to rhyme”, they say.
“It must have a rhythm, too.”

But I intend to end those rules
       I intend to break free
So maybe my poems aren’t the best,
But at least I’m being me.

See you in the forest;
We’ll meet there at one.
We can walk along the path
To escape the whole world’s wrath.

See you in the forest;
If you dare to come.
The world can be a pretty place
But can vanish you without a trace.

Sometimes I find myself wishing for more;
That I could make something better than before.
Everything I’ve done is a one-time exception;
I face myself with thorns rather than acception.

Surely my successes were merely chance!
Ideas don’t come to me like they did in the past.
People say they see talent in me, I see nothing—
Then again, would I even know I was good at something?

So like
She’s amazing
I’m her friend
But yet she rubs it in my face
Oh, you know, “it” as in “I can draw better than you.”
It’s confusing
We both love art
We have our own style
We’re both quite good.
But still she has more friends
So she gets more popular.
And she rubs it in.

This pit of jealousy has grown too deep.
I lash out at the walls but i only hurt myself in the process,
and as i sink lower, deeper;
I feel my friends stand on rising mountains.

My cheeks are damp with silent tears
but you don’t seem to notice.
I reach out to get some comfort
but you offer little solace.

I want to help, I really do
But I don’t like the thought of dying.
Anxiety keeps me on the ground
Instead of up there flying.

So raise a glass to all those people
Who could do what I could never.
By their constant and certain efforts
They make the world much better.

Everyone says I should just try
But I know that I would fail.
And even if I did agree
For my health I’d have to bail.

So raise a glass to all those people
Who could do what I could never.
Like the astronauts in space who quite
Possibly could stay there forever.

Raise a glass to all those people
Who could do what I could never.
Like the people who study volcanoes
Who could rest there forever.

I’m sorry for your loss.

The squirrel hops from one tree to another.
Not a care in the world.

there are cookies in the oven
i can make some tea
just stay for awhile
stay here with me

I think it’s strange
How you can just
Fall asleep
Like nothing’s out to get you.

I lie awake
For many hours
Wondering
If there are other people like this too.

Joskus
Tahdon itkeä
Jos mietin sinua.

You gave me a watch
You said “check the time,
When we meet again
It’ll be different on mine.”

But I threw it down
And you hugged me tight
Yet I still didn’t want
To say goodbye.

The dust has settled
I know you’re gone
But still I stay strong
But still I go on.

These poems I write, they’re my escape,
though from what I do not know.
My troubles seem to evaporate
the moment I let them show.

I write about love, which is ironic
because I’ve never had a lover.
I used to think maybe I was sick;
for I’ve never longed for one either.

I write about death when I’m feeling down
so I can cry to something new,
but thinking to when I lost real tears,
maybe they weren’t mine to lose.

Even now as I write this down
- my headphones on but paused -
I wonder where my motives are bound,
for I always feel like a fraud.

The last time
I saw you
Was when we
Decided
That we were

Over.


But now that
You’re gone I
Don’t know what
To do now
Because you

Are dead.

A HERO
It’s over and we know it
The good guys lost
We barely stood a chance
But we had our fingers crossed.

A VILLAIN
It’s over and they know it
The “bad guys” finally won
We had a dream of victory
And now it’s finally done.

The saddest goodbyes are the ones no one knows to say.
The saddest goodbyes are the ones whispered over a headstone in the ground.
The saddest goodbyes are unexpected.
They are silent.
They are inevitable.
They are unpredictable.

I write what I want
When I feel like it.
It’s not planned at all
It just happens.

The words seem to flow;
They surround me.
Yet sometimes I can’t
Write at all.

It feels surreal to be here now
when I stood at this spot years ago.
Only then, I was happy,
and now my thoughts are bittersweet;
for all the things I’ve gained have surely come with a cost.

Our
Friendship is
One hundred percent
Toxic but it’s more
Fun that way
Because we
Always
Come
Back

I grasp your hand in the darkness of the night
Your face illuminated by the brightness of the moonlight
Tears on both our cheeks;
As the wave finally peaks
Now’s the final moment
That I’m going to have with you

Tämä yksinäisen tytön tarina
On pitkä ja surullinen
Se aika usein loppuu siihen
Että tyttö itkee itsensä uneen.

It went unspoken;
It couldn’t work out.
Not without hate
And not without doubt.

It went unspoken;
We were bound to fail.
We had too much energy;
We’d drive our carts off the rail.

the younger me was less afraid
and infinitely more competent.

it might be cringy to be so melodramatic.


but my, what fun it is.

It’s heartbreaking
And amazing
And wonderful at the same time.

When we made eye contact earlier
it wasn’t the same.
Something hangs between us and I can’t feel you as clearly as I used to.

You twisted my words into something they’re not.
It’s not hard too see it, you do that a lot.
You make me the villain in all of their minds
Then you play the hero and feed them your lies.

Was it worth it?
Are you glad that you went through all that,
Just to prove that you can?

We’ve had promises broken
Words left unspoken

Tears on our cheeks
Lonely weeks

And yet
It still surprised me when you left me.

Something about you
Felt different then.
I realize and know now
It was only in a dream.

I passed by you
The other day.
I didn’t know
That we were in a dream.

You came to me
And I knew you
Somehow, I’d seen you, but
It was only in a dream.

You were the best part,
At least while it lasted.
But I must move on, for
You were only in a dream.

You said I’d see you soon
But that wasn’t true.
But I believed it
Before I lost you.

Now that we’ve won
I think I know
We would have lost
If you hadn’t let go.

And that’s okay,
Because now I’ve grown.
It was for the best.
I miss you, though.

We will remember you
But we won’t cry.
You wouldn’t want that
So we hold our heads high.

You were just a plot twist;
One I didn’t see coming.
It was that moment that I realized-
How could I think you loved me?

I didn’t suspect you;
If anything, I trusted.
I realize now my view of you
Didn’t do you justice.

One so light, the other dark-
Could I ever trust again?
I can’t believe that long ago
I considered you a friend.

If you had kept your feelings close
I wouldn’t be here now.
For better or for worse, I guess,
From innocence I rouse.

whatever happens, promise
you’ll remember what it’s like

to fight for something even if
youre not sure if you’ll survive.

to beg for mercy, plead for help,
but no one bats an eye.

so take a second, “momento mori”;
remember, you will die.

We will miss you
And that’s okay.
We said we’d win
Whatever it takes.

For the good of the world
You had to jump.
We all know that,
Yet it still cuts.

Are you happy there?
Do you know we won?
And what about him?
Do you know what he’s done?

You both together
Are the reason we won.
You jumped, he snapped.
It worked, but you’re gone.
