Shout out to the old me

The one who never quit being one of a kind

The one who spoke their mind all the time

The one who never gave up on their dreams

The one who wasn't afraid to be themself

The one who's an old soul and not scared of being one

The one who would never quit saying "I'm weird and proud of it"

The one who made mistakes and somehow never learned from them

So shout out to the old me
a poem based off the song old me by 5 seconds of summer with lyrics from the song

Their passion,
Their soul.
Picked me right up even when I was low.
Their beauty,
Their skill,
Made the void in my heart fill,
With love,
With acceptance,
With happiness,
That I cant even finish this sentence.
They helped me,
Saved me,
The picked up my broken pieces,
And healed me.

Hi guys,
Today is  4 Years of 5 Seconds of Summer.
They are a quartet who I have been supporting for almost 4 and a half years. I watched covers (not regularly around 2011 when I first got google, youtube and any social media) I have been following their journey theres no doubt about that, and its blessed me.
I talk about this band a lot because they are only a couple years older than ne, and they have the ability to change the society we live in, they have given us a platform to express ourselves and be proud. I have grown up listening to older bands and 5SOS  are the first artists(who are my generation sought of) that i have felt a deep connection with, age wise, maturity wise, character wise.
I just want to say thank you 5SOS;
Michael Gordon Clifford,
Ashton Fletcher Irwin
Calum Thomas Hood
And my Hemmo,
Luke Robert Hemmings.
Thank you for saving me **

Secret Poet Jul 2015
He wore nothing other than black even in the summer, his crystal blue eyes reflected ocean-hues and had jet black ink that could slightly be seen under the sleeve of his tattered and torn Rolling Stones tee. That boy, he was quite a mystery, had the body language of a jigsaw puzzle not wanting to be mended, although it was all opaque to me, others saw him impenetrable, however, I read him like my favorite book. This boy is exactly like me intelligent yet covert, impassive and esoteric yet a universe full of secrets and unspoken thoughts. It seemed as if his soul was somber and consumed nothing but vacuity. But I saw a masterpiece, a messily painted work of art, and that was the beauty of it. Others saw chaos on a canvas while I saw every watercolored hue that completed the exotic illustration that was, Luke.
So I'm a huge fan of 5 Seconds of Summer, and while I was writing this I was thinking about Luke at the time. (I'm a Michael girl though)

Framing the worlds lullaby on a string of soliloquies
I made the magic happen again-
Volume up and everything inside of my
Eardrums became the strength I needed to smile again.

Sin became salvation and I wished
Every single second could be that much longer but
Cynicism doesn't come with every verse inside a song-
Only with the need comes strength of finally realizing
Nothing makes you happier than
Disregarding the demands of your former self-
Summer comes along again but you start to miss the winter winds.

Only you can feed your need to go on-
Front row of your insecurities making a mockery of this show.

Someone cast your lines and rehearsed your verse all wrong-
Unsung heroes became undone and you broke yourself again.
Muttering the words under your breath you need to save yourself-
Momentary lapse of judgment you finally caught your breath
Eventually the chorus played out and your script was finally finished
Revolutionizing the scene that surrounds, you're finally home again.

they are not even a boy band, and that name is pronounced five sauce,
they're pretty lame, but they're all i've got,
when calum breathes, ashton laughs , mikey screams and luke smiles,
i swear all i have in my stomach are butterflies.
if you think i dont love them enough,
then you have to read this poem and screencap..
i tried (:

“I would never be like those girls, they’re crazy.”  
Thats what I told myself when I saw every girl fan girling over some boyband.
I always wonder why they have to cry even though their idols just tweeted a picture or releases a new song; music video.
I always wonder why they have to waste their time to vote.
It annoys me when they try their best to get their idols attention by spamming them.
Fangirls get to my nerves, but I stayed quiet.
I hated it.
I hated them because they’re dedicating their life to someone who doesn’t even know they exist.
I mean I like some bands, but I never ever did those stuff.
"I would never ever.”
I told myself.
But one day, I woke up…

"Hi, we’re 5 Seconds Of Summer."
Then everything started to change.

*And then and there
I knew… Im such an hypocrite.
dont judge my music taste because I wont care.

I never belonged in this home
The mold of this home is all
noise and fears and objections
Not the shape I can take up
It collapsed a long time ago
anyway
Pretentious people and trust broken
Pricking at my skin this wall a treason
When the head voice sounds like fears if it had a voice
just what am I hoping for
Ignorant engulfed the whole five bodies
I ran from arms to arms
Reeling through sound waves
Looking for a home that fits me
I guess there are arms willing to stitch me together again
Just defragment me a little bit more
This is the stranger's arms that is warm with hopes
This is home
4 strangers' arms is the only home I need. Things are hard right now.

things that fall:
petals
teardrops
snowflakes
rain
stars
time
shadows
leaves
­the sun
and me
for you
