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
Alaska Young May 2020
I hope you don't hate
the reflection you see
when u look in the mirror
Alaska Young Aug 2020
have you ever had a dream so good
that when you wake up
it hurts so bad?
Alaska Young Jul 2021
if the choice to die
was mine to make
i'd probably dead by now
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
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.
Alaska Young May 2019
it can either make you fearful or fearless

choose wisely.

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
Alaska Young Jun 2020
I find peace in thinking
that I could settle somewhere
cold but green
being sustainable and nature-lover
Alaska Young Feb 2022
i promise
the next time i write here
it'll be a happy poetry
not a broken one

:)

raw
You gotta write what you feel,
when you feel it.
Rawness became so underrated these days.
Alaska Young Apr 2017
I've been a second choice for
twice, thrice, i don't know
I'm so used to it that I forgot how many times I became the last option.
Alaska Young May 2019
save me
from my thoughts

save me
from my demons

save me
from these pains

but most of all,

save me from you
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.

i'm slowly learning that most people
want only my attention
not my heart

i
guess
it was too hard to handle
Alaska Young Jul 2021
----a consolation
for the prize you didn't win



please, DON'T try again
Alaska Young Feb 2022
you used to be a stranger
and now,
you're becoming one again
at least I know it's not my fault
Alaska Young Jul 2017
We could have been.
We could be the most beautiful collision.
But we are stars from different galaxies.
We don't collide.
We are flowers.
Wild and beautiful.
We are virga rain.
But some flowers are not meant to bloom.
And some rain are not meant to fall.
Our infinities are limited.
And some love are unrequited.

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, *******
Alaska Young Mar 2018
Teach me how to mock a laugh
when you tell me you're in love
but not with me
Alaska Young Jul 2021
when you miss someone
the happy memories
hurt the most
i wish heaven has visiting hours
Alaska Young May 2019
You can see different souls
in different perspectives
and sync with them
Alaska Young Sep 2017
This is it.
The final end.
The finish line.
The destination.
Call it whatever you want.
But this is it.
This is where the ending begins.
This is when I decided to stop.
I don't wanna fool myself again.
This time this is real.
It'll be a slow fade.
No traces of pain.
No amount of rancor.
No turning back.
I will end it here.
Here, where I became happy.
Where I learn how to look forward on mornings.
Where you told me all those pretty lies.
And where I was fooled to believe
It was a great stay here.
magical to be honest
But pretty lies are for kids who believe on fairy tales
on prince and princess
on happily ever after
And I realized I'm all grown-up.
Old enough for bedtime stories and fairy tales.
I know ours wasn't an enchanted one
No fairy godmothers who will grant my wishes
No frogs that will turn into prince
No knight in shining armor who'll save me

We don't exist in reality.
And I lived happily never after.
Alaska Young Aug 2019
no one warns us
on the amount of pain
we'll endure for the first heartbreak

it'll either be
too much
or
too less

and in between is getting worse everyday
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.
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.
Alaska Young Mar 2017
Read between it.
No answer lies.
Not even a hint could survive.
Madness.
Hit the dead end.
Comfort yourself.
Pain is part of the game.
And you can never win.
Acceptance.
Not even acceptable.
Insanity.
I could wait.
Forever if you want.
Even I hate waiting.
Even if you don't come.
I'll still wait.
For the nth time.
Madness and insanity.
Both at once.
Because when it comes to you,
everything happens at once.
Like being danger and being saved.
Like my favorite almost and my biggest what if.
Like living and dying.
Like loving and hating.
And between those paradoxes,
is a thin line
A thin line that sets the limit.
A stop.
A big NO in my world of yeses.
A boundary in what I thought is a never ending madness.
A wake up call.
And the thin line tries so hard to limit my madness.
But it cannot contain my insanity.
It overflows.
Like diffusion.
So passive that it didn't require any aid to flow.
Like it destined to spill and divulge everything I hid.
Alaska Young Aug 2019
your soul was made to stand the fire
burn the rage of sadness
and like phoenix rise from the ashes
Alaska Young Apr 2017
"You're tough", she said.
And I thought.
Am I tough because I really am
Or I'm tough because I've got no choice but to be one?
I hope I'm the former.
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.
Alaska Young Jul 2019
i hope the things we never speak of
aren't the same things we'll regret someday
Alaska Young Oct 2019
i wish
"sorry"
can make
the pain
stops
Alaska Young Apr 2018
maybe that moment holds a little hope for us
roughly, maybe
Alaska Young Mar 2018
we dip ourselves on *****
played it cool
and tried so hard to pretend
that it's ok
Alaska Young Jul 2018
stop bringing me to cloud 9
stop flying me to the moon
stop keeping my hopes high
i'm acrophobic
Alaska Young Jan 2019
why do we become so much of what we're afraid to be?
Alaska Young Jun 2019
can you make this one loud?

let's learn to listen with understanding
not to prepare for our replies
Alaska Young May 2019
my heart goes
to those
suffering
in depression and anxiety
sadness takes too much sometimes
Alaska Young Jun 2019
i hope the things that made u cry
late at night
someday will make u smile
and turn your day bright
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.
Alaska Young May 2019
They asked me why I’m sad.
And I tell them,
if you’re not happy,
what else could you be?
Alaska Young Jul 2019
which weighs heavier?
the regrets of what did not happen
or
the memories of what had happened
Alaska Young Jul 2019
why do you look at me
like i'm an easy thing to let go?
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 Apr 2017
I'm a willing prey
You can devour anytime
I'm weak and old in love
I got dazzled by glittering promise of it
I'm nowhere
You can easily find
But I'm afraid
Behind my weakness and willingness to give out love were somethings I couldn't keep.
I'm chaotic
A storm a teacup can't contain
A willing prey that prosaic predator won't catch
I'm difficult.
Odd.
Peculiar.
And only peculiar of my same will understood me
People like you won't like the way I think
Perhaps you wouldn't want to know what I'm thinking
I'm telling you if you're going to love me, then prepare yourself to a nightmare
For I'm a collection of it
Of dismantled almost
Of misunderstood histories
Of odds and ends
And on all of those is where my demons hide.
Why
Alaska Young May 2019
Why
Why do you push people away?

"I want them to be happy."
Alaska Young Apr 2017
Because people ruin trust
and papers don't.
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.
Alaska Young May 2019
Perhaps that's the thing about writing
It demands sadness.
Alaska Young Aug 2017
words that water dead plants
Please stop.
