Why Can't I?
Riya Aug 2018
Remember,
You have a heart
Even if
It has scars
Or
Feels weak.

Even though it doesn't beat
Or stops for anyone.

Doesn't mean you don't have a heart.
You are still sane

You do love.
You do care.

You just love too much
That it ends up
Killing you from
The inside
And out.

You love until
You feel like you can't anymore.

And in time
Someone will do the same thing to you.
And
It probably already happened.

Someone's heart has beaten
And stopped for you.
You are loved
And
Cared for.

Even if you don't know it.

You are loved.

Even when you can't love yourself.
Idk...

What is a smile?
Riya Dec 2018
What is a smile without the pain.
Does it feel like you are on bliss?
Or
Does it scream out hope?
I have dem rare smilez
Riya Nov 2018
I am cold.
I am heartless.
I am nothing.
I am pointless.
I am a waste of space.
I am no good.
I am dirt.
I am ****.
I am toxic.
I am a disappointment.

I am just worthless and nothing more.

feelings that still linger
Riya Jan 2019
My feelings still linger
Towards you.
Still attached
To this idea of a what if-
That will never come true.
I know I confessed a thousand times
And
I know that
These scars on my heart will stay the same.
I also know that
How you view me will stay the same.

I can't help but hold on to a what if.
Yippp~

"You are poison to the tongue
But
At least you taste like lemon lime punch.

I can't get over the sour of your voice,
It even gives me anxiety with it's overwhelming taste of sweet bitterness.

Let me overdose with the sound of your sour voice.
I figured if anything,
At least I can lie down with the silence of your bittersweet words and this quiet will help me sleep at night.
And
Yet
I know,

You are still poison to the tongue
But

At least you taste like lemon lime punch."
//oof, idk if this makes sense..

Perfectly..
Riya Jun 2019
Rosy cheeks,
Bright eyes, and
A careless smile.

I'm perfectly blinded
by you.

Contagious laughter,
Deep voice, and
An honest heart.

I'm perfectly infatuated
with you.
Maybe this is about them ♡~

One Cigarette.
Riya Sep 2018
You say you love us
But that's a lie.
You say you just borrow
But you steal.
You say you can't choose
But you can.
You say you are fine
But you're not.
You act all loving
But you're just fronting.
And so
You say that cigs are your babies
Now that's actually true.
Because you my dear
Have told that to us.
Yes, it's a addiction
But if you even cared about us AT ALL,
You would try.
Dispite how stressed you are.

One cigarette can't help you.
Your family can.
Please be open to any sort of help.

Shall - Shall We Fall?
Riya Aug 2018
Let it be
As though
We are falling
Into a dark abyss,
To drown
In our self doubt,
To be so-
So broken
That we lose all of our pieces.
And
Shall we-
Shall we find them together,
Let us fly
And fall with each other.
Then-
Maybe the fall down won't be so bad.

Neutral Feelings
Riya Sep 2018
People say you have to be positive
You have to smile when you can
You have to cry when you can
You just have to sort of way.

I don't get any of it.

Can't I be- or feel
Nothing?
Can I be 'okay'? For once.
As in I'm neither sad nor mad-
Kind of way.

Can't I feel like
I don't care about anything
And not worry for once.

Yeah, it might be bad
To feel numb.

But I don't care at the moment.

I don't care at all, right now.
When my friends or whoever I tell about how I feel. When I tell them I'm just OKAY.
Riya Dec 2018
“I can't breathe.
I'm suffocating.
I feel sad, maybe.
But I don't care, yeah I don't care.
I'm still moving with the flow,
I'll just have to get myself in check, with reality.
I need to find another way to feel sane.
Yeah, I need to find another way to feel something else but bleak.

I can't breathe.
I'm drowning with these sick thoughts.
Maybe I'm insane, I can't help it.
Oh, why do I have to feel this way.
Can't I just feel stable for once, sane for once, or anything but sad for once.

Can't  I
Just feel
Something else
For once.”
¡-; //ooof, another sad poem

That smirk you have on
That brings so much joy to me
I just smile and laugh
Cuz I have to

Cuz I want to
Be with you.

Be closer
And hold you
Be there for you
And
Love you

(goodbye poem)
Riya Nov 2020
i thought
so much
about it all
this and that
too many of this
too little of that
too many thoughts
and so little eyes
to see it all
unravel.
i need-
i want-
others to see
my random words
of nonsense..
to feel noticed
for my mind.
i think
i'm ready
to leave
my old thoughts here..
to create something better
somewhere else but here.

Sitting and Waiting

Feet walk with carelessness and determination
Backpacks filled with knowledge
Hands stuffed with distractions

Still sitting and waiting.

Think, Please.
Riya Apr 2018
[Yesterday]
I am surrounded by Individuals laughing
And sharing jokes.
But
Me and them were still ignoring the fact that
The people in front of us were only there to help -
Help us see a choice that could happen if we do
Make that one wrong choice.
And I do honestly fear -
Fear that one will still make that one wrong choice
And hurt someone in the process.
--
But today -
Today was an eye opener to say the least.
And at first it was painless and jokes were said.
But
There he was
An actual person
Speaking to us.
A person who experienced something so horrific
That you -
Yourself wish to never experience..
Ever.
And now tears were had and hugs were shared.
And a silence began.
Everyone was silent.

And I too was silent.
Most probably did not listen to them...but you just got to hope they did.

Black Mist
Riya Mar 2019
Eye gives out a blood red.
And
Everything fades away.

Try to maintain a blank face
But
Mind is out of place.

Now missing some marvels
And can't seem to find them.

Trip and fall down a empty hall
Where the pieces are.

Try to grab them all
But once more,
Trip and fall through an open door.

Hoping to catch my breath,
Breathing in and coughing out.

Air is toxic with smoke
That buries thoughts
And cancels out the same

Losing steps and gaining nothing
Vision still varies shades of red
Trying to keep up but lose faith
Lost in track and can't go back
Stay still so nothing leaves
But everything is quickly fading

One flash and gone

Now the black mist stays
Tell me meaning?

I really hate it when I can't cry
Or when I feel like crap
And I can't complain about it
I really hate this feeling
Of not feeling.
I want to scream
But why would I?
Why yell for no reason?
Why would you even try?
Can't even think of a reason to
Do anything...anymore.

I'm overthinking this again.
I can't help it though.
You make me this way.
My thoughts are only you.
Your voice,
Your grin, and
Your laugh.
All blissful memories
String together to make me
Remember your everything.
Maybe I'm not overthinking it all.
I just can't help it though.
You make me feel this way.
All my thoughts are you
And I love it.

A Simple Shoe
Riya May 2018
A Simple Shoe
He yells
And she nags.

It's pointless
To argue.

But they don't see what I see.

I see them go over the top
Like if someone had just murdered someone
But in reality someone just stole a simple shoe.

And that simple shoe was mine,
Yes I know
It's just a shoe
But do they know?

No.

They don't hear what I hear.

All this screaming for the same outcome,
The same results.

Silence.
“Normal”.
They are just blinded by there true selfs.

I imagine
Riya Dec 2019
One day you'll see me crying
And I won't know what to say
But you'll just hold my hand
And hug me cuz you can.
Then you'll say..
"I love you anyways."
And
Even though I'll feel ugly
You'll say..
"you are still beautiful to me."

I imagine..
One day we will be outside
Looking at nothing
Talking about nothing
Just silence
And your presence
That will be enough for me.

I cry now
Cuz I'm just imagining
That you're here with me.
I'm just giving myself false memories
But also something to look forward to.

I imagine everything
Like if you were here
And I love every second of it.

[Vent Poem]Dear, F
Riya Oct 2018
"You were nice and kind
But you were also sometimes hurtful
And mean towards Mother.
But I try not to remember that.

You were wise
But you were also ignorant at times.

I would hope you did say, sometimes
"I love you" to me.
But I bet you didn't.

As time went on
You had changed or
I did.

And I now realize,
That you are a spiteful and angry human being.
Who thought he cared for his family but instead only cared for himself.

Sometimes I just wish, one day.
You will just say
"I love you" and mean it.

But I don't believe you ever will
And I don't think we will ever be close again.

Although, I will come back.
It will not be because of you.
But only for them.

So .. bye."

I don't get why
all the time
when I say nice things

and attack me.
was I too much
again?
I don't get why
my words have to mean so much
when sometimes
they don't..
mean anything.. at all.
they just read too much..
I can't help
but ruin everything.
it's a cycle.
nice words
can mean everything
to someone.. I guess.
I don't get why
I have to be
the one to blame..
I wasn't speaking
in code.. was I?
did I say something nice
to just be nice? yes.
now is that such a crime..
I didn't ask for the reaction..
but blame is still put on me.
