notebook
R L Dec 2020
the papers torn out,
secrets i can't reveal,
there's so much i can write,
and i write what i feel.
People,
Love,
Anger,
And fear.
What these papers hold are dear,
Close to me,
And more than just words,
The things I write is my world between lines.

pictures
R L Dec 2020
pictures only tell one story;
lies
you can fake a smile on camera,
and nobody would know.

newer me
R L Dec 2020
i build myself,
into a newer version of me,
except sometimes it's not a good change.

like dawn,
i rise my head up,
and remember my values most,
then comes sunset,
and i feel down again.

days
R L Dec 2020
some days, i feel as if i'm not worth being loved,
as if today will be my worst day ever,
as if anything and everything could go wrong,
and other days, i feel as if i can rule the world,
and i remember the people that love me
and the people i love.

or simple spoken words.

opinions
R L Dec 2020
there's too many things people say,
and if i can't pick which one i like,
i'll just listen to myself.

stories
R L Dec 2020
some lies,
some truth,
and some are an escape from your world,
the life that stories hold,
sometimes better than our own.

solitude
R L Dec 2020
the joy of alone,
my solitude gives me space,
it helps me think,
sometimes i just need to be around nobody but myself.

Untitled
R L Dec 2020
sometimes it's hard to tell
whether somebody's love is unconditional,
and it makes me think of people differently.

weak
R L Dec 2020
my weaknesses,
they hold me down.
I try to get up,
but there's no way how.
I try to escape it,
and try to be strong,
but they'll be here forever,
and i won't last long.

healing
R L Dec 2020
i paint my canvas everyday,
i enlarge the painting,
so i can display,
the colors of me,
and the colors of my feelings,
i'll give myself
a moment for healing.

i feel like i can't do much
with being me,
when all i want to do
is help others feel appreciated.

prison
R L Dec 2020
i live in the prison,
of the fear of being judged.
It's like hell,
but even worse.
Every day, i spend being somebody i'm not,
even when i'm tired of it.
I'm an inmate in my own mind,
and i just can't get out.

dear future
R L Dec 2020
dear future,
don't hide things from me,
let me be sad,
and anger take over me.
i know i can't decide things,
but don't make it perfect,
i want the ups and downs,
i want it to be worth it.

dear future,
please take care of me,
whatever you have in store,
just let it come to me,
i don't want to rush things,
or make things bad,
but i just want my future to be mine,
not anyone to have.

thank you future,
for hearing me out,
i'd like it if you'd answer,
i don't want to scream and shout.
It may not be worth it,
but it works just right for me,
please keep me happy,
and take care of us please.

liars
R L Dec 2020
everyone's a liar,
we lie about ourselves,
we put ourselves through something,
and never tell someone else.
We want to keep us secret,
so we say that we're okay,
so that we don't get attention,
and the world keeps working anyway.

jenga
R L Dec 2020
you take a piece of me,
and i fall,
cuz there's no support,
nothing to help me in a world so small.
I can't live without a piece of me,
can you build it up
and tower me please?

fake
R L Dec 2020
she's smiling,
but is she really joyful?
she needs some time to be her,
not smile when she's feeling awful.
She finds herself being too gloomy again,
so she tries to be fake,
and hides her feelings from her friends,
if that's what it takes.
She's going through her own struggles,
but doesn't want to show,
that she's not happy at all,
and that her feelings are to grow.

art
R L Dec 2020
art
everyone has something,
that gives them a feeling of inner power,
for me, it's the art i create.
I'm not only making this for others,
i'm making it for myself.
Art is the one thing
that others shouldn't have an opinion on,
because what i portray in my art,
is what's going through my mind.

6 feet under
R L Dec 2020
six feet under,
there lies the bodies of the dead,
the ones who sacrificed their lives,
and those killed themselves instead.
There lies the fate,
of the ones that were to die,
some couldn't help themselves,
and others just wanted to fly.

silently loud
R L Dec 2020
silence is so loud.
it's louder than the thunderstorms,
louder than hell,
silence is louder than actual words,
only because you kept it that way.

cliche
R L Dec 2020
not every sky is blue,
and not all the grass is green,
not every prince is charming,
and neither is the queen.
things aren't always the same,
and sometimes will never be,
so let go of cliche,
and let changes come to me.

sleep
R L Dec 2020
sleep is beauty,
i hold onto my dreams,
i rest my eyes,
and leave me at peace.

limits
R L Dec 2020
limits,
are just a way to show that we have control over something,

even though we end up crossing the limits.

scent
R L Dec 2020
i can smell the coffee beans,
in your breath all day,
the smell of your clothes,
when we met today,
you smelled of tulips,
and heavily of cologne,
i love the smell of freshness,
that you always seem to hold

demons
R L Dec 2020
i patiently wait for my demons
to take me to their home,
because i feel that i belong there,
and i know i'm not alone.

fantasy
R L Nov 2020
someone get me out of this fantasy,
it's too good to be true,
i could live here happily,
but it wouldn't be fair to you.

outer space
R L Nov 2020
i'm in space,
but it's nothing like the movies.
it's empty,
like a black sheet of paper,
with white dots.
the view of earth,
makes me feel small.
the moon is gorgeous,
and the sun is not so near,
and i feel freedom, and solitude, with nobody here.

i love when im hurt
R L Nov 2020
i may be fragile,
i may be lost,
but i love when i'm hurt,
no matter what it costs.
the pain is numbing,
and i feel no more,
so i let it stay,
just a minute more.

hard to be happy
R L Nov 2020
i'm living happily,
yet i've had enough,
i want to laugh,
but i cry too much.
i live by name,
and what i want to be,
except sometimes it's hard to be happy
Nov 2020 · 41
what is beauty?
R L Nov 2020
what is beauty?
is it my eyes, my lips, my face?
what is beauty?
is it what others make of it?
what is beauty?
is it who i truly am as a person?
but what is it
if it isn't that?

maybe beauty is just what we make of it.

the end of the world
R L Nov 2020
5 minutes left.
i thought we were in this together?
4 minutes left.
i can't be with you
3 minutes left.
i've gotta run

1 minute left.              
i have nothing to say
10 seconds left.
goodbye, i loved you, but the end is today.

R L Nov 2020
liar, liar
you said you were fine.
liar, liar
i believed you the whole time.
liar, liar
tell me why you didn't say?
that you were hurting
and that i made you feel that way?
you could've been honest,
and told me the truth,
but you went your own way,
you're not happy now, are you?

tell me which way
the river flows,
should i follow along it,
or jump down below?
tell me how
you want the river to be,
clear and blue,
or ***** and green?
it's your choice,
cuz you told me so,
but are you sure,
that the river even flows?

measure life
R L Nov 2020
how do i measure life?
it's balanced by the people you love,
and the people that love you.
It's balanced by the people you hate,
and the ones that hate you.
It's balanced by how you love yourself,
and how you take care of yourself.
But sometimes, the scale gets unbalanced,
and you don't want to live anymore

sun
R L Nov 2020
sun
the sun sets,
because she believes she's not good enough,
and the sun rises,
because she has faith in herself

paths change
R L Nov 2020
i was walking the path my whole life,
too afraid for changes,
until i decided to steer to the right,
where i was happier than ever,
and i wasn't following a specific path,
except mine
change is more important than you think it is

die
R L Nov 2020
die
my lungs fill with fire,
and my heart bleeds the flames.
It's what i desire,
there's no need for shame,
i breathe out the hate,
and inhale what i need,
my problems aren't yours,
so let them be.
You're not here to love me,
so what're you here for?
My skin is now burnt,
there's nothing to live for,
you hated me,
and so did i,
now let me be,
so i can die

you say that love is unconditional,
but if you truly knew me,

secrets in the dark
R L Nov 2020
the dark holds more secrets,
than the light ever could,
i want to stay here,
and i know i should.
I'm not who i want to be,
except in the dark,
because the night holds me,
like my secrets in the dark

nocturnal
R L Nov 2020
i was awake,
when the world was asleep,
it was like i was my primal self,
just me.
The moon was speaking,
and said what it had do,
the stars were peeking,
and watched me dance to,
the music of the silence,
when the world was asleep,
i was happy,
with me, and only me.

sleep
R L Nov 2020
sleep is a distraction and an alternative
for death,
it's simply an escape from life,
my problems,
so i don't have to deal with them for a while
