Here's to the feeling
Maja Apr 2020
Here's to the feeling,
that we all feel,
when words don't work,
and the struggle is real.

Cue something deep,
cue something bright.
Here's to the feeling,
that I want to write.

The feeling of failure,
stuck in your mind,
when the right words are lost,
nowhere to find.

So here's to the feeling,
that every poet knows.
Here's to the feeling,
that makes up this prose.
You're not alone in not being able to write. Sometimes it doesn't work. That's okay. We all feel that way.
That's okay.

I wonder why
Maja Feb 2020
I wonder, sometimes why,
why do we wonder, why do we pry
into matters that don’t matter
and into places, we shouldn’t be

I wonder why,
why do we wonder why
when the stars will stay the same in the sky
even after we’re gone,
no one will even hear our goodbye
So I wonder,
why do we wonder why

I knew of
Maja Mar 2020
I knew of the sun,
but I never saw it in the skies.

I knew of colours,
but I never got to see them with my eyes.

I knew of the wind,
but could only dream of it upon my skin.

I knew of happiness,
but I never got to experience a grin.

I knew of living,
but I only lived through death.

But most of all I knew of pain;
that, I felt with my every breath
Now I don't know a thing. What is even going on?

He
Maja Feb 2020
He
He would hug and he would kiss
and when he was gone,
you would him miss.

He would do those things
and make you feel
like the love between you,
was beautiful and real.

But alas,
never seeing past his lies,
when he left,
it was to leave you broken
But twice as wise

I pray and I pray
Maja Mar 2020
I close my eyes and pray.
Always in the night.
I pray, even though I know,
it’ll never be alright.

I continue to pray,
I clasp my hands and hope.
I pray as if I’ll get an answer
as if there’ll be an upturn to this *****

I pray, and I pray
but even when I pray,
even when I wish,
it never feels okay.
pray pray pray but doesn't do anything about it.

Be someone
Maja Mar 2020
You are something.
You just gotta find the right people to be someone to.
Real friends.
157 · May 2020
why?
Maja May 2020
What is our purpose?
That doesn’t matter.
we are humans,
and there is no answer.
What is the meaning of life?
I don't know.
You decide.

action vs words
Maja Feb 2020
For even when you can’t see the sun behind the clouds,
doesn’t mean it’s not there
and just because someone doesn’t say it,
doesn’t mean that they don’t care
Actions speak louder than words, but not everyone is listening attentively. Pay attention to what is said, but most importantly - to what is done.

A lie
Maja May 2020
A lie is not a lie
until someone says it is
until someone tells the truth,
The truth a lie only is
it's not a lie if you believe it

The Clock
Maja Mar 2020
20:00
I went up to my room
21:00
It disappeared, the light
22:00
my family went to sleep
23:00
now my only company, the night
00:00
I can't sleep and go down for a snack
01:00
I’m all alone now
02:00
I’m surrounded by black
03:00
I started to cry
04:00
my eyelids got heavy
05:00
hello, a new day
06:00
peace - goodbye
goodbye peace.

Run or Stay
Maja Mar 2020
Do you run or do you stay?
Most people would run away.
But I don’t think that you would too
You’re not most people,
now, are you?
You're different.

Even if it's a lie
Maja Mar 2020
Embrace me and whisper a lie,
just don’t let go,
don’t say goodbye.

Don’t leave me alone,
even if I feel lonely with you

Don’t give up on me,
even if your love isn’t true.

I don’t care who you are,
I just want to have someone.

Who doesn’t matter,
it could just be anyone.

As long as he’s mine,
and I am his only.

As long as he’s mine,

I will be fine
Even if it's a lie, I just want to have someone to love.

my mind is a scary place
Maja Mar 2020
Sometimes, it gets dark
and other times I wish that I was blind,
because there are some things, I wish I’d never seen
but then there are some things that have no place in my mind

The world can be a scary place,
but when left alone,
my own mind can scare me more
than whatever thing the world has known

The world can be a scary place,
but more so I fear my mind
because whenever there’s a blank
it fills it in with all the horrors it can find.

The world can be a scary place,
but nothing’s scarier than me
because only I know what truly make me scared,
and how scary that can be.
I often scare myself, and sometimes it feels like my own mind betrays me by making up scenarios that will never happen.

fight fire with fire
Maja Mar 2020
fight fire with fire.

fight evil with evil

but doing it like that,

in the end,

won’t you just be fighting yourself?
You don't have to bring about peace by starting a war. It is a way, but isn't there a more peaceful one?

a lie
Maja Mar 2020
A lie is not a lie,
until someone tells the truth

and sometimes a lie is needed,
to keep what's left of youth.

To be happy
is to not know
and I would rather be happy
than grow

Someone else
Maja Feb 2020
But when you cry invisible tears,
who will be there to see?
When you speak your mind only alone,
Is that not what you will be?
And when your heart is finally broken,
it was all because of those words,
that were never spoken
Don't suffer alone. Suffer with somebody else. Tell somebody. Don't keep everything locked up inside, because it will eventually break you.

Love like I do
Maja Feb 2020
I don’t think anyone loves the way I do,
I don’t think anyone can love, the way I love you.

I know they don’t, and no matter what you do
I won’t stop loving you,

the way just I do.

Me and I
Maja Mar 2020
There is someone who will always be there for me
I can’t get rid of it, and it can not of me.
We are one, but we hate each other,
we are me, but we’d rather be another

— The End —
