You were happily recieved
Although you cause me pain
Made a huge imprint
Unlike a picture or a name
I was young & foolish when I got you
But I guess it's ok
I'm actually grateful
That you'll permenately stay

Don't trust a big **** and a smile
A lesson you should've learned a while ago
But you never pay attention in class
That venomous snake
Slithered her way in
And took you away
But what she doesn't know
Is you're more lethal
Than she'll ever be

I couldn't be in a more complicated situation
Me expecting to date this guy when I ****** his ex best friend
You expecting me to date your current best friend
Me being beaten and broken
You fixing my pieces
Me continuing to fall for you
You falling for my friends
When it comes to me and you it's more than complicated
I'll deal with the complications even if we only spend mere seconds of belonging to each other

The ocean beckons me with it's beauty
I approach with caution
In a hypnotizing step
Stopping just before
Wet meets land
The waves charm me in
I abandon the unneeded
And let the tides pull me out
Farther and farther from shore
Inhale
Exhale
One last breath
And I surrender myself to
The Deep Blue
I'd appreciate all CONSTRUCTIVE criticism please and thank you :)

Recently I've noticed
Out of all my friends
I'm liked the least
And ignored the most
By the opposite ***
Recently I've wondered
Why
And I have concluded
That I am

It’s not being labeled fat or thin

Or the number on the scale

It’s the looks we get when we step out the door

That keeps us down

Or lifts us high

We’re only measured by our looks

The only thought floating in my mind is an image of you
Not too sad but still in need of a smile
My pretty little victim
Bombarded by vile actions that break you down and break my heart
What hurts me more is that you think you don't need me
Maybe you don't
Maybe you're stronger than I thought
But maybe you're wrong
We all need somebody
But who am I to support someone when I'm not stable myself
I'll take any opinions on a title. I hate having untitled poems.

The moment I think

Someone is there to listen
I am forgotten

Whiny, spoiled, brat
That's what I'm called when I don't get what I want
But everything I want is because of you
You boast of your fat wallet with promises of such goodies
So that's why when I ask, I expect
With same mouth you told your sweet lies
You gave up my hopes
Letting them float out of the reach of any human being
Years you've tricked me into thinking there was a flaw in my character
It's all in yours
The flaws are all in you
I won't take the time to fix you
Because unlike you I
I value myself
So just like you gave up my hopes
I'm giving up you

Days are feeling longer
Nights are getting darker
And I'm still here
Standing in the shade I make in the light of others
Waiting
For my light to join theirs'

They say we control our own fate
They lied
So many are doomed to a life they didn't ask for
Strive for
Or deserve
My life is in the hands of human ignorance
And negligence
One mistake
And it's over
I wonder what people think about when they read this

“What do you want to be?”

A questioned asked

When we’re too young 

To fathom the importance 

What happens when what I want

Isn’t what I become?

What happens if

I’m not sure?

What really happens 

**If I fail?

Love is your favorite game
Many are invited to play
I'm a frequent winner
But still I lose
To the one in second place

I write during stages of sadness and love
But during our time together
My pages have been blank ...
I'm just used to you, that's all. And that's why I go back.
p.s. I'm learning how to write when I'm happy or content
p.p.s I'm really happy I made this realization
Destiny Copeland Dec 2015
I guess I didn't write enough today
I guess I didn't put enough emotion on paper
Because I still fill it burning in my chest

I didn't let enough ink spill
Should I try something red instead?
Maybe that's what's best

Too many days
Panned over too many months
Have I missed what we had in the past

Too many days
Panned over too many months
Have I been more than simply sad

I guess I didn't write enough
I didn't let enough ink spill
I can only try

Try to keep writing, breathing
Till myself
Or these feelings die
Destiny Copeland Jul 2013
I like to watch myself bleed

Even if
It's just a tiny bead

It gives me hope 

That i’ll spill all over the floor

Leaving this slab of flesh and meat

For you to find

Just beyond my door

— The End —
