what i want to ask you
Alaska Young Jul 2019
why do you look at me
like i'm an easy thing to let go?

what overthinking did
Alaska Young Nov 2019
you started it with a nick
and end it
with a twinge
but it's my overthinking that
tore it apart
and broke my own heart

Alaska Young Aug 2019

but a distant lingering
memory
of who

I'm Afraid
Alaska Young Jun 2017
If I'm gonna pray for you, I'm afraid you would not be given.
If I'm gonna take the risk, I'm afraid I will lose.
If I'm gonna be honest, I'm afraid I'll messed up.
If I'm gonna take the slightest courage of telling you about how I love everything about you, I'm afraid you'd hate me.
So I'm taking the step back.
I'm giving up.

We will end here.
And our story will never be told.
Just one request:
STOP giving me ******* reasons to hold on.

The Trouble
Alaska Young Apr 2017
Loving someone incapable of loving you back
is better
than loving someone who can love
but won't ever love you.
Better not love at all.
I'm falling.

SHE
Alaska Young Feb 2018
SHE
She will be turning 22...

She is a girl of sad soul and broken poetries
She doesn't want to be found but always leave traces
She craves attention yet let it slip when it comes on her way
She is a collection of dismantled almost, of chaos and troubles, of nonsense paradoxes
She said she can yet she cried every single night
She sought solitude but tripped over loneliness
She looked for love and found it on wrong places
She tried so hard but life always tried harder than she

But she will be turning 22...

She will be a woman of contented soul and lifeful poetries
She will be everywhere leaving traces of love and happiness
She will be independent of other's opinion and mentality
She will be a collection of adventures, beers and wolves
She will believe in herself and no amount of doubt will surface
She will still seek solitude but never mistook it again as loneliness
She will no longer look for love; for now she knows that love will find her eventually
And she will try a little harder everyday than life could ever did

She turned 22.

Rejection
Alaska Young Apr 2017
I've been a second choice for

I'm so used to it that I forgot how many times I became the last option.

Not Your Everyday Queen
Alaska Young Apr 2017
I'm no princess
Not even a damsel in distress
I don't need saving.
Save yourself instead.
Be your own knight.

Memories
Alaska Young Jul 2018
moments you shouldn't be visiting
quit tripping over them darling
i'm telling you, it's dangerous
it's like intentionally tripping again over the same rock
to willingly fall on the same spot you've been
it hurts
you already knew that
and it's ridiculous to be hurt by choice
it's crazy to made a mistake twice
so stop doing autopsies on memories
that died long ago
it's not worth it

We Decide to Die
Alaska Young Jul 2017
"What's keeping you sane?"
She asked.
And I looked to her with all honesty inside me
I replied.
"The same thing that keeps you crazy."
In three seconds, we die.

True Love
Alaska Young May 2019
When do you know it’s love?
When you’re in love with yourself
as much as you are in love
with someone.

True love will tell you
that you are
worth
loving.

A Reminder
Alaska Young Jan 2018
One day you may lose all the ways on
how to fix a broken trust
But always remember
that you are blessed with a beautiful heart
forgiveness will overflow
and mend all your broken parts.

Word's Dearth
Alaska Young Feb 2018
We talk like we're always
running out of words.
I wish the alphabet could weave
more words,
and phrases
and sentences
that would be enough to tell you
how do I feel
I just hope
we're not missing
something really wonderful.

impaled
Alaska Young May 2020
i don't forgive easily
i hold grudge
tight and firm
i hold it like an impaled object
stabbed in me
afraid that if I make a slight wrong move
or have the courage to pull it off
i might bleed to death

help me.
-slight confession (part1.1)

hungry advice
Alaska Young Jul 2019
don't feed on memories
it'll keep you starving
161 · Jan 2020
i get it now
Alaska Young Jan 2020
it took--
countless sleepless nights
river of tears; ocean of sadness
dozen of prescribed pills
never-ending cycle of time travel to the memories we shared, half-hoping it'll happen again
years of doubting my worth
BUT I GET IT NOW
-----------------------------------
"Why you didn't stay?" I asked myself.
And the answer hit me like a thunderstorm stirring in a hot humid afternoon waiting to strike anytime:

"Some people came into our lives not to save us, but to teach us how to save ourselves."
i save myself today

Strings Unattached
Alaska Young Sep 2017
We're not okay and that's okay.
We are all a little ****** up sometimes.
We'll figure it out later.
But for now, cut all the ties.
Unattached all the strings
because i'm a bit tired and broken
i'm not fiiiiiiiiine, *******

every you
Alaska Young May 2019
I wonder how could I forget
something I just said
in a blink of a second
but couldn’t forget
every detail of you.
Alaska Young May 2020
Living in this world was never easy for me
to be honest i used to find peace in the thought of death
end of all - pains, sufferings, trials, heartbreaks
because why try hard to live when dying is hundred percent easier
I socialize, but deeply I hate human interactions
My mom used to tell me when she's mad
that I'm better off alone
And I must admit I'm really good at being alone
My best friend said that she can't imagine someone would tame my attitude, I'm twisted, complicated and I can't blame them
I don't even understand myself most of the time

Pain to Pen

How did I learn to write?

When I learn, that pain can actually be a pen.
And blood turns to ink.
i learned writing in a hard way

i think our biggest problem today

with not saying what we wanted to say

in listening only to what we wanted to hear

not us, not anymore
Alaska Young Mar 2020
They say,
If two people are meant to be,
In the end it'll be their story.

But after you left, I say
If we're still meant to be,
Then **** destiny

love letter
Alaska Young Jul 2021
dearest inay,

you won't be able to read this
but still I wanted to write
hoping that angels will whisper my words to you

inay, your passing is the most painful I ever had
no words can explain the pain I felt on that November morning
and after half a year, tears still streaming
I wish I could blame someone
I wish I could just say that it's just a matter of time
and everything will be okay
but I know deep down, everything will never be the same

I didn't tell you before
but you are the definition of a mother to me
you are so selfless and caring and loving
and when I'm with you
I feel like I'm a child that needs protection
not an independent girl people have known me to be

I pray, God will let me meet you again in another lifetime
I wish you could be my child
so that I can show you how good mother you are.

i miss you so much and it breaks my heart knowing that in this life, we will never have a chance to speak again

The Infinite Moment
Alaska Young Jan 2018
That one second when you feel limitless and forget the world
When the lights are glaring at you
Waving every pain and truth
Echoing the tunnel song that lets you danced on the ledge
Tiptoeing every beat of your heart
-I wish I had one.
