just a thought
R L Jan 2021
lying on the grass
beside your pretty face,
we laugh at stupid things,
and freedom at our grace,
we're living how we want to,
and then i grab your hand,
to realise it'll never happen,
it's just a thought again

silhouette
R L Jan 2021
my finger reaches out,
as i touch the sunlight,
and the absence of light,
as it creates a silhouette.
i see my shadow
beside nobody else

fighter
R L May 2021
they tell me "be strong, stay resistant,
you should keep up a fight"
but i hide under my sheets at the worst hours of night
i try to be a fighter,
but i do it with my words,
so ill keep writing what i write
in hopes of being heard.

nightmares
R L Dec 2020
my nightmares are more realistic than my dreams...
62 · Dec 2020
disguise
R L Dec 2020
are we devils,
or angels in disguise,
do we hate each other,
or is it all lies?

do we ****
for the pleasure or the fun,
or is it for the angels,
before we become one?

worst years of my life
R L Dec 2020
i didn't know
whether to say yes or no,
and when i agreed,
i didn't know
that i was to live the worst years of my life
60 · Dec 2020
let it all happen
R L Dec 2020
does the wind need to prove it's power,
do the nightingales sing every hour,
do the waters need to flood to show you,
that not everything needs a purpose,
even when it might seem worth it,
the clouds will cover,
the ravens will hover,
the rain will pour,
i'll be at your door
to show you what i mean
when i say, "just let it all happen"

promise
R L Dec 2020
i can't promise you a happy tomorrow,
but i can promise you happiness today.
59 · Dec 2020
life
R L Dec 2020
oceans of pain,
our lives remain,
but an illusion,
of fire and rain.

our souls just a story,
our lives,
they get boring,
so we love each other,
then die in vain.
59 · Dec 2020
love
R L Dec 2020
tell me how im supposed to love,
if ive never been loved?

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.

R L Nov 2020
the nights were so heavy,
i couldn't help but drown
in the pain

R L Dec 2020
They want to **** out all my happiness,
little do they know they’re going to starve.

end of the world
R L Nov 2020
if it was the end of the world,
would you spend your last breath with me?
55 · Dec 2020
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.

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
54 · Dec 2020
control
R L Dec 2020
I'm waiting for the day i can take control over my life
hard to do with toxic people
54 · Dec 2020
Untitled
R L Dec 2020
if our words are meaningless,
then why speak?
53 · Dec 2020
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.
53 · Dec 2020
masked
R L Dec 2020
all around me are masked faces,
they hide in places
where nobody goes,
and walk around fearless,
because nobody knows,
they wish to be normal,
so they cover themselves up,
except everyone's the same,
they just think they're not enough
52 · Nov 2020
cloud of hate
R L Nov 2020
cloudy sky,
filled with my hate,
the rain falls,
and i leave the place,
the thunder calls,
but i don't turn around.
if lightning strikes you,
then it's the end of all.
51 · Dec 2020
meaningless
R L Dec 2020
worthless art,
i've got no meaning,
meaningless words,
though i write what i'm feeling,
does that make me useless,
i really don't know,
it's hard to tell when i'm feeling so low
51 · Dec 2020
mask
R L Dec 2020
you don't know me
the way you know my smile.
I'm not what i seem,
i'm on a trial,
aggression,
depression,
and so much to hide,
i just hope you see me smile,
when i already cried.

a thousand screams,
yet everyone's deaf,
i'm underwater,
they all left,
cuz i'm hiding it all,
and displaying the smiles,
i've nowhere to go,
sadness and denial.

sleepless nights
R L Oct 2020
I can’t stop thinking
about everything
and nothing
My mind is wandering at night
Searching the graves of obsessive thoughts
Walking the pavement of sadness
It’s keeping me up
And I
        just

       can’t

      sleep
I can’t sleep at night cuz of my obsessive thoughts...

blooming secrets
R L Dec 2020
dig under the soil,
secrets hidden beneath,
the flowers take energy,
from the secrets we keep,
some blooming, some stand tall,
others dry up, wither and fall.
50 · Dec 2020
bruises
R L Dec 2020
bruised from your words,
scarred from your hate,
staying up all night,
conversations i recreate,
i think about you,
though you hate me more than ever,
i wanted us to be happy,
but that didn't last forever
50 · Dec 2020
chapter
R L Dec 2020
you thought we had a story,
but you were just a chapter of my life,
the pages are all torn out,
and I have so much left to write.
50 · Dec 2020
greedy
R L Dec 2020
they live for greed,
the innocent never freed,
their lives decreed,
they beg and plead,
so they leave them be,
until they heed,
they live for me,
evil indeed.
49 · Dec 2020
cracked
R L Dec 2020
my heart it beats,
but not for you,
my words i speak,
they're never true,
the way i lie,
and you say it back,
i never loved you,
your words are cracked
49 · Dec 2020
fate
R L Dec 2020
if destiny is fate,
can i change it?
49 · Dec 2020
Greek god
R L Dec 2020
i'm no Greek god,
i haven't come from the stars,
you can't expect me to do everything,
or connect anything afar,
i say those are just stories,
unless you prove me so,
because i really can't doubt you,
cuz you're high and i'm below
49 · Oct 2020
enemies
R L Oct 2020
Why is everybody crying?
I didn’t matter to them a day ago
My enemies were now weeping into their mother’s arms
But why?
If they cared for me, why didn’t they show it?
....
I killed myself for a reason
I wrote a similar one
48 · Oct 2020
in my grave
R L Oct 2020
After I died
everyone was sorrow
For me, there was no tomorrow
Because I was 6 feet under
Did they love me?
I wonder
It doesn’t matter now
Because if they cared for me
I wouldn’t be in my grave
Waiting for them to join me
but they’re trying to be brave
By showing they loved me...
after I died
It’s about suicide....
48 · Dec 2020
waves
R L Dec 2020
undulating waves,
blue beauty,
in one wash they take your mind away
48 · Dec 2020
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.
47 · Oct 2020
Numb
R L Oct 2020
I felt nothing
I couldn’t feel the pain that was existent
It was there
But I couldn’t sense it
I was immune to pain.....
But only for a while
It wasn’t long until someone would break my heart or destroy my worth
My first one hehe
46 · Dec 2020
depressed
R L Dec 2020
like a large stone,
holding me down,
like im in a sea,
ready to drown,
like i'm stuck,
and i have nowhere to go,
death awaits me,
like i already know.
R L Nov 2020
Run a mile away from me,
And I’ll find you
Swim oceans away from me,
And I’ll sail back to you
Fly skies away from me,
And I’ll fly right back to you

If it’s love, then let there be no limits
46 · Dec 2020
queen
R L Dec 2020
call your favors,
ask for more,
beg and plead,
it's what you adore,
on your knees,
give a second chance,
you're no match for me,
i'm the queen of the land
45 · Nov 2020
when i grew younger
R L Nov 2020
when i was older,
i lived so free,
everybody told me,
life would attack me,
but i never felt it,
never did.
It was only when i grew younger,
when i realized
i wasn't the problem.
it was them.
I grew young,
and even younger,
my mind then hated me.
I hated me.
I missed being older.

Wish
R L Aug 2021
She said, "I wish I were the clouds, for it's tears are prettier than mine."
He said, "I wish i were the mountains, so i could reach unto the sky."

She said, "I wish I were the sun, so people would miss me when I'm gone."
He said, "I wish I were the forest, so I would be where I'd belong."

She said, "I wish that I were of something that nature withholds,
it's peaceful out there,"

Which is only what she was told.
It all seems infinite,
but we don't know the story behind it.

The clouds, they wander lost,
the mountains want to be stronger,
the sun has no companion,
and the forests wish for forever.
45 · Nov 2020
talk
R L Nov 2020
i stayed up
and talked to the stars
i said everything i could
and talked about you
the stars heard enough
and left me alone
with the shining sun
and i spoke
everything about you
then came night
and the moon wanted to learn
so i spoke and spoke
until the sun returned.
44 · Nov 2020
be you
R L Nov 2020
We’re all going to die one day
So there’s no point in trying to fulfill
What others want
Just be you

house of roses
R L Nov 2020
the house of roses,
that looked like heaven,
but when we went inside,
where the thorns were to hide,
it was like hell,
and pain,
and death
44 · Dec 2020
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.
43 · Dec 2020
superior
R L Dec 2020
a godly figure,
you're oh-so-strong,
to others you're the biggest,
but i hated you all along,
you thought you meant something to me,
you were just a game i played,
so go to your peasants,
and make them think you saved the day.
43 · Dec 2020
out of patience
R L Dec 2020
my patience tops your anger,
waiting weeks to help you out,
but you never let me,
so im out of patience
43 · Dec 2020
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?
42 · Dec 2020
rewrite
R L Dec 2020
bring me to your daydreams,
and the nightmares that you have,
i'll rewrite all the stories,
and replay the memories we had,
I’ll reminisce on the fun,
and collect them all in one,
then put them in your dreams,
so you’ll remember how we won.
42 · Dec 2020
lights out
R L Dec 2020
the lights out,
nowhere to go,
we all hide,
in shadows below,
a thousand screams
hidden by the dark,
we have nothing to lose
just the core of our hearts
