"Keep your head held high, but your feet on the ground."
You used to say to me.
I didn't spend alot of time
With you before you left
But, I do know one thing
That's true to my heart
No matter what
I Love You♄

Sincerely Yours,
Smiley :]

A tear
Just one
That's all
Numb.
Can't breathe
Just want to fall
To the ground
Nothing beneath my feet
All I want to do
Is weep.

A thousand tiny needles
Simultaneously
Puncture my heart
I start to bleed.

Seeing you now
Makes me go insane
And worst of all
You'll never know
How much pain
Just One Tear Can Mean.
Freshman year. Thought I was in love. Definitely not my favorite writing, but one of my firsts.

And I'm sorry
That I couldn't be
Everything
That you wanted of me

And I know
That sorry can't explain
All those feelings inside
The mistakes that I've made

So please tell me
Who I'm supposed to be

Now coming down from that
Long, long road
Seeing you there
A part of me knows
That you and me
We weren't meant to be

So just let go.
Forget about Everything.

Somtimes when I get bored
My mind starts to wander.
My head flies away to faraway lands
Filled with talking bunnies, skunks, and squirrels
And ticking clocks
Swallowed up.....by alligators.

But even in this rhelm
Of extraordinary things
There is still that boy
Who runs away from me;
My prince charming.

I call to him, To let me in;
To know the secrets in his head.
But still he flies
Into the skies
Of Never-Never Land.

Can you hear me now?
I'm standing on the front porch
Looking in this empty house
How long was I gone?
And where has everyone gone to?

And who said anything
About leaving me behind?
Cause I received no letter
No message of any kind
And all I want to know is
Why?

Why would you do this to me?
Left me alone
All by myself
Just waiting for you,
Waiting for you
To come back home

Please, come back home.

I really wish
That the world could stand still.
Just for a while.
Let me heal.
Let me rest.
Let me get a hold of everything that's going on;
Everything that's going wrong.
Just catch my breath.
Because I don't think
That I'm ready yet,
For what is still to come.
This is one of the first poems I wrote in high school. When I started getting away from the elementary standard poetry layout.

Please!
I need some help!
I'm going down.
No brakes on this caravan.

Spinning wildly
Against my will.
Please just stop me.
Leave me still, for now.

Let me reconnect with the world
And all i think i know,
But don't.

For all I want or think I need
Is the dust from my tracks to settle.
