Comfort
Comfort comes in different ways.
A hug.
Kind words.
Your favourite dinner.
A poem.
A funny memory.
A kiss from the one you love.
Your child's smile.
A friend who is always there.
Whatever way you find it hold it
And never let it go.
I wrote this because comfort doesn't come in one form or one way we all find comfort in the little things or big things.

Don't be scared
Don't be scared of failure
It's there to teach you
Not hurt you so embrace it.
I think that in the times we are living in we see failure as a bad thing but I feel we shouldn't because it helps us to learn get better and get to where we want to be

Say it and mean it
Do it so you don't look bad.
Do it so it gets it out the way.
Do it so it keeps everyone happy.
Do it so it shuts everyone up

A smile to hide how forced you feel.
Some were you don't want to be.
Eyes on the door wanting to get away.
Stuck listening to mindless talk.

Counting to ten never does work.
You tell your self its only for awhile.
Everyone talking to you all at once.
Wishing you could have some peace.

Asking yourself why didn't you say no.
How hard is it to just use your mouth.
Feeling the anger build and build.
Sitting in a place worse than hell.

Can't listen to this small talk anymore.
Can't bear anymore news either.
Can't take the pointless conversations
Thats going no where.

Not saying no leaves you worse off.
Not saying no leaves you bored.
Not saying no leaves you stuck in hell.
Not saying no comes with a price to pay.

Say no fast mean it when you say it.
This came from when I found my self having to sit someone I didn't like this was wrote in the moment

A heart of thorns
The rain falls covering my tears.
Deep wounds that can't heal.
Another knife sharpen ready to use.
Another scar added.

Picking up pieces of a broken heart.
Paranoid thoughts take over.
Drowning in a sea of mixed emotions.
Not sure who to trust.

Burying the pain in lines of poems.
Saying nothing to anyone.
What they don't know can't hurt them.
But it's hurting you.

If you where picked and loved.
Only to be left and lied to.
Wouldn't you grow thorns to?.

Sleep
My only relief is sleep.
Where I'm free.
Not hurting or crying.
Living with out fear.
Until morning comes taken it away.
Sleep feels like it is the only time where we are really free

Pain free
Everynight I lay in bed.
Feeling empty feeling numb.
I just don't know what to feel anymore.

Feeling like a wandering broken soul.
Searching for that feeling once felt.
Finding nothing.

Happiness turns to sadness.
Love turns to hate.
Anger grows more everyday.

Been down so many times.
I am not sure that I want to get back up.
Asking my self what's the point.

Trying to keep a dying heart alive.
Lost in the darkness of my own mind.
Feeling a pain that's just too much.

Can't sleep can't think can't breath.
Listening as the clock ticks away
So slowly.

Longing to just go and do my own thing.
None looking over my shoulder.
I dream of being free from this pain.
I wrote this after having a really bad day sometimes having someone being over protective of you does you the most damage they never realise what it is they are doing

Always something
There's always something

Behind the I am
only joking

Knowledge behind the
The I don't know

Emotions behind the
I don't care

And pain behind the I am okay
I wrote this because sometimes you just have to look beyond the smile and you will see the truth

not fake.
You have to plan before you do it.
Believe everything question nothing.
Wear all the right cloths.

Look perfect and be perfect everyday.
Wearing a mask to hide the real you.
Never caring about who your hurting.

They always tell me i am not enough.
The difference is i am happy as i am.
I love the skin i am in.

I am real not fake.
I wear no mask.
I have nothing to hide.
I wrote this because society is putting us all under so much pressure to be something we are not, act a certain way plus I was feeling angry at the time.

sonnet 1
Loves gentle kiss loves tender touch.
Let soft lips do what gentle hands do.
Carries out on waves of strong emotions.
A venomous kiss I long to taste, letting
The venom stay deep in my veins.
Bring the darkness of the night so I can
Get lost in dreams of what could be.
Can't deny what burns deep in my heart.
William wordsworth saw a host of golden daffodils', William Shakespeare was trying to compare someone to a summers day, Robert burns love was like a red red rose.
Yet I feel something words can't explain.
If this is love I prey it will last.
I got this idea for a sonnet while I was reading a book that had a little rhyme in and this poem was born

not waving
Some days I feel everything.
Other days I feel so empty inside.
Counting all the fakes smiles.
Watching the fake kindness on show.
There's always two sides to one story.
The truth will always be twisted.
Plant the seed of doubt and watch it grow.
Surrounded by people who love being negative.
While all the time I wasn't waving I was drowning.
I wrote this because sometimes I feel so much it gets overwhelming

the heart
How can anyone promise forever?,
When love can change without warning.
The heart is a fragile thing.
Jul 2018 · 190
Night time thoughts
It's time to move on.
Let the past die.
Allow old wounds to heal.
Take a step into the unknown.

Starting to build a new life.
Feeling scared.
But it's okay to be scared.
Everyone makes mistakes right?.

Lying awake in the darkness.
A mind full of thoughts.
Another sleepless night of wondering,
Where to take this broken life

a post card from the beach
Jeans rolled up sand in my toes.
Thought of you in my head.
Wishing you where here.

hungry eyes
Wrapped up in waves of emotions.
He shines like the silver midnight
Moon-colder than a marble statue.

His poker-face could device anyone.
Yet every time he looks my way.
My heart beats my body shakes.

Lips softly kissed hearts touched.
Lost in his hungry lustful eyes.
Wishing we could stay in this moment.
This is a poem made from old notes that I had in an old poetry journal I would love some feedback if it needs more stanzas or not thanks

nothing matters
My heart is empty.
My eyes are full of tears.
Nothing is ever enough.

Can't smile through the pain.
Counting to ten doesn't work.
Given everything that I have.

Always been there to help.
Never gave up on you.
Nothing really matters.

the American dream
The American dream,
Turned into the
Real American horror story.
This is just the way that I see America now its a real
Horror story

love with no trust
I love everyone.
But I trust no one.
That's the sad part.
Wrote this because trust is the one thing that's
Hard to do

an angry heart
A wave of anger washes over me.
My heart beats so fast I am sure,
It will break my ribs.

My mind moves so fast my lungs,
Can't keep up.

I long to out an angry scream.
I feel it building and building.
Hitting a punching bag until
My knuckles are red and raw.

Anger lives in a moment and dies.

my life in a poem.
Born with no silver spoon.
Grew up with very little.
Made something from nothing.
Always made the best of things.

Held on to hope really tight.
Always believed there's a better tomorrow.

Been strong not by choice.
Smiled through all the pain.
Took the good with the bad.
But I wouldn't change anything.
This is about how I grew up sometimes having very little and life has not always been good to me. It's taught me many lessons. But its made me who I am today and that I am grateful for

the lost master piece
A beloved building turn to ashes.
Priceless artworks swallowed by fire.
Everything lost nothing saved.

Only a burn empty shell remains.
Lost for words nothing left to say.

Wondering what will happen next?.
Wondering if it can be saved.
Not holding my breath.
I wrote this for the Glasgow school of art so heart breaking that has been turn to ashes

dreams of you
It doesn't matter if
I am sleeping or awake.
Lost in thoughts or day dreams.
I still dream of you.
Broken minds and bleeding wounds.
Words that can't change anything.
Saying sorry doesn't make it better.

When the past isn't dead and you
Keep suffering in your head.

Do you know what it is like to feel
Pain that hurts so much you can't breath?, because I feel it everyday.

a beautiful lair
It started with a kiss.
Watching beautiful sunsets.
Candle lit dinners for two.

Making plans sharing dreams.
Making love by candle light.
Something changed inside him.

Its me not you excuse came.
He open the door.
I didn't stand in his way.

the things that won't last
We are born we learn.
We get married maybe it
Will last maybe it won't last.

We will cry more than once.
The one's we love will die.
You'll try to keep everyone
Happy but you'll fail.

Not everyday will be bad.
Not everyday will be happy.
The sun won't always shine.
Nothing lasts forever.
Jun 2018 · 197
no space to breath
Never any peace or space to breath.
While i cry inside stuck in the same
Thoughts.

No sleep no freedom nothing but
A heart shattering pain, no one understands.
They say they do but I know its a lie.

Some thoughts can't be forgotten.
Things stay with you forever.
Words can't be taken back either.
Jun 2018 · 160
this isn't love.
Lips meet.
Felt desires flame burn.
Trying not to fall too deep.
Hypnotized by his eyes.
This isn't love we're addicted to lust.

the lost girls fairytale
There once was a girl who
Dream big, and had her head
In thr clouds. She red all the
Fairy-tales you could name.

One warm night the girl looked
Up at the silver moon lit sky.
Wondering if fairytales were
True or just a wonderful lie.

All she ever knew was witches and
*******, Lairs and story tellers. There was
No glass slippers or fairy godmothers.
All she ever was lost and alone.

Every midnight she sits on a step.
Watching the moon and the stars.
Waiting on her prince and her happily
Ever after.
This is first try at writing a poem that's a little like a fairy tale please feel free to leave me some feedback

the things i can't say
It all seems so stupid now.
There was so much to say.
Now its too late to say it.

I can't come to you for advice.
I can't talk to you for hours.
I can't tell you how my day was.
I can't tell you I love you.

Standing by your grave
With tears in my eyes.
When you died so did my world.
May 2018 · 193
changing worlds
Worlds change
When eyes meet.
Leaving nothing
As it once was.

time out
No peace no space.
Sleepless nights.
Broken thoughts.
Shattered dreams.
Feeling trapped.
A spinning mind.
Screaming demons.
An exhausted body.
Tired tear filled eyes.
Can't take it anymore.
I just needed time out.
This proms is about that one point that you just peace and space there's always that one person who doesn't leave you alone

anxiety
I am tried of the worrying thoughts.
My mind moves so fast my lungs
Can't keep up.

My mind moves from thought to thought.
Playing the past over and over in my head.

Trying so hard not mess everything up.
Anxiety is like a breath that's stuck in
Your throat taking the life out of you.

a mother
A mother always knows
The right thing to say.
She makes you laugh
When you don't feel like it.
She comforts you when your
Heart has been broken.
She makes your favourite dinner.
She stands by you when no one else Does.
She loves you no matter what you do.
She always there when no one else is.
When she leaves this world you miss
Her even more.

i don't know
I don't know...
What love is only because I have
Never been shown it by anyone.

I don't know...
How to trust anyone when its
Been broken so many times.

I don't know...
How where my life is going either
Not every question has an answer.

the morning dream catcher.
Today my heart is bursting with love.
You know that kind of love that hurts.
It's in every poem that i write.

He seems to be everywhere i go.
In every little thing that i do.

He lurks in the deepest part of my dreams.
The wind carries his voice to my ears.
My heart answers his call.

The only problem with dreams are they
End when morning comes.
May 2018 · 112
more than this
These days nothing lasts.
Ruined life's broken hearts.
Dreams live only to die.
Hope never stood a chance.
Taken chances to be happy.
Everything breaks so easy.
No peace no freedom either.
Done with the prison called home.
Getting on the train leaving for
Something better than this.
This is about the place that I grew up and how I don't regret leaving.

always say never
Always Say never...
To the person who says
Don't follow your dreams.

Always say never...
To the one's who try
To change who you are.

Always say never...
To the people who try
To silence you.

Always say never...
To the heart breakers back stabbers
And the story tellers.

They only want to cut you down.
This poem idea came from a comment that I got in a poem which gave me the idea for this one

never be
I'll never marry a prince.
I'll never wear dresses.
I'll never be a millionaire.

I'll always find ways to be happy.
I'll always have my head in the clouds.

I'll never be afraid to laugh loud.
I'll never be afraid to cry.
I'll never be afraid to be my self.
My poems is about how there's something's we might never have but it's good to love what you have and love your self as you are.

poetry
Burning the midnight oil writing poem's.
Swimming through a sea of emotions.
Sweeping pieces of broken heart away.

Filling blank pages and empty lines with
Words trying to release the pain. Some memories are too painful to forget.

Poetry isn't just words on paper feelings or emotions. It's the one thing that saves us and gives us a way to express our self.
May 2018 · 160
you'll never know
You can...
Send in the clowns and it wouldn't
Make me laugh.

You can...
Show me a beautiful sunset but
It doesn't stop my heart from aching.

You can...
Say it gets better with time when it
Never does get any easier.

You can...
Give me comforting words and the
Pain will still hurt.

You can...
Never understand what its like to be
Broken until your broken your self.
This poem is about how you can never understand how a broken person feels until your broken your self pain and heartache is different for us all.

the last day
On the last day of love.
Tears fell.
My world ended and my heart,
Cracked inside my body.
It's always the last day of anything that is the worse because you know nothing will ever be the same.

i write
I write to forget the past.
I write to release the pain.
I write to remember old memories.
My words may not be perfect and polished.
But I still write what my fragile heart speaks.
This is about how we all write and share our work and how we write to cope with different things for me poetry is a way to express my self poetry is a powerful tool.

unheard.
There's no more cheeks left to turn.
My confidence is shattered enough.
There's nothing left to take anymore.
There's nothing even left to say.
My wounds are so deep they can't heal.
There's no break from this pain at all.
The night brings me a chance to dream
And be free for a while.
It's the same thing everyday.
Why cry because it doesn't ease the pain.
Why talk because they never listen anyway.
I am seen but never heard.
Sometimes because I have an anxiety disorder I feel that no one listens to me

door matt
Inside I am a screaming angry mess.
Always turning the other cheek.
Walking away from arguments.
Never reacting to what people say.
Counting to ten until the anger passes.
Writing poems to keep my mind busy.
Why do I never let my anger go?.
Why do i never say what's on my mind.
Why I do i spare other peoples feelings,
When they never spare mines?.
Am i too nice or I am a door matt?.
I wrote this while I felt angry because I was told I was too nice and laid back, nice people like me never get any were so I wrote this to let my anger out
May 2018 · 124
life after love
Is there anything beyond the stars?.
If faith is lost can it be found?.
Do all roads take you somewhere?.
Isn't a white lie still a lie?.
Can a broken heart feel again?.
Is there life after love?.

loves curse
My true love was a blessing.
But now its a curse.
Sharp edges of a broken heart
Makes my soul bleed.
My life is an empty book
With blank pages, and nothing
To read.
May 2018 · 236
a dark soul
Help me
To understand why
so many lies are told.
Promises made but
Never kept.
Tears caused by you
Pain in a fragile heart
You put there.
Another meaningless
Sorry said.
I never could find
Any good in you,
Because your as dark
As your soul.
This is about how you can try to find the goodness in some people. But the truth is you might not always find what your looking for.

love letters in the sand
Writing words in the sand
You will never see.
Watching as the waves carry
Each line away.
I wrote you a love letter
In the sand.
But the sea washed it away
Like it was a mistake.
May 2018 · 178
unforgotten pain
Theres something's you can't forget.
Sounds of falling tears in the night
Never leave you.
Saying it will be okay when you
Know It won't be okay.

The best hug doesn't take the pain away.
You hold on to any hope that you can find.
So many years pass by so much time
Faded away.

But after all this time and the broken
Promise.
The pain still hurts the still.
I will remember and recover but
I'll never forgive or forget.
May 2018 · 185
loves lie
Love is
False promises shatter dreams.
A broken heart tears cried.
A pain that doesn't stop hurting.
A painful sting that stops you breathing.
Thoughts that don't let you sleep.

tears
Let these tears be
The last I cry.
