You made me believe that wishes came true,
but I've wasted all my shooting stars on you.
Now look, you're not here, you've left me forever
I can't stop the tears, I can't keep it together.

I'm afraid of myself, of the things I might do,
I'm afraid of my heart, and that's because of you.
I'm afraid to let anyone get close enough to hurt me,
I just hope you're the last one who's able to burn me.

I burst into flames, and went down into ashes,
I'm afraid of my brain, and my chemical crashes.

I remember the last night that we both watched the sky,
We saw one speeding light, we pointed as it soared by.
That night, on that star, my one wish was you.
You left me shortly after, I hope your wish came true.

You’re holding back,
Afraid of effects.
It will never last,
Not if you left.

I know it’s hard,
I’ve felt it too,
I’ve seen your scars,
But I still want you.

Yeah you’ve got problems,
But I’m not counting.
Ignored as I saw them,
But you never found me,

Taking a glance,
Only a peek.
But maybe by chance.
You’ll really see,

I’m not in for the feeling,
Just want you to be loved.
Cause you need the healing,
You need the hugs.

Don’t want the attention,
Unless it’s with you.
Cause you’re who I mention,
You are the glue.

You stick in my mind,
Like a rhyme on repeat,
Love every line,
Just makes me sing.
She makes her flaws become perfections... S.B. <3

Life is so full of interesting things, don't be afraid to get out there and try something new.
Let people in and get to know people as there are people who will make life a much better experience.
It is better to be remembered and to have made an impact on people than to leave this world and nobody remembers you.
Love may hurt, make you angry, make you laugh or make you happy, but it is what makes life worth living.

Have you ever gotten lockjaw?
At least, that's what I think it is
when my mouth stretches
to let in a yawn, or out a sigh.
My tongue recedes
for the muscles underneath pull taut.
It hurts to keep open,
and it hurts to try and close.
I cannot speak
yet I cannot seem to keep silent.
But this is only for a moment,
one that I long for,
as silly as that sounds.

It reminds me of talking to you
Any thoughts on the final line? I'm worried it's a bit on the nose but without it I worry the meaning gets lost

if you told me to stand on the ledge of a tall building
i'd smirk and look down from the edge happily

if you told me to drive 100 miles per hour down a backroad
i'd go 120 without blinking

if you told me to swim and swim and swim until i saw black
i'd dive as deep as i could and ignore the burning in my lungs

if you asked me
what do you fear most
i'd laugh
and say
i don't
Like the
gust of wind.
I changed
my course.
Not being
what I was
anymore.
Just soaring high
not afraid
this time.
Cause I know
I have changed
this time.
Change, the only constant and it taught me a lot. For better or worse? Who knows.

So, here's the thing.
I think I forgot how it feels to be alive.
I know what you're thinking
how could you ever forget something
so simple, so mindless, so ******* beautiful
such as the life that chose to be lived by you?
It's complicated, exhausting, and honest-to-god terrifying.
I've never been more afraid to be afraid
But I'd be lying to you if I said
I would ever give up trying.
I'm slowly learning not to sink
through loving, learning, heart-beating.
I'm remembering the concept you could not grasp
Happiness is nothing but a feeling.
Hello, fellow poets out there! I was inspired to respond to a comment I got some time ago. I wanted to express how important it is to express how you feel, no matter the emotion or how you fear others may respond... Happiness cannot happen without sadness, and I stand before you today completely unapologetic.

Don't be afraid of changing,
sometimes the best breaks are taken in the middle of the road,
they can spontaneous and unplanned, but quite needed.

i am afraid,
someone will not like me.
that someone will judge me.
that someone might look at me and think,
she makes my life miserable.
hint #1 on who i am:
im a she

Forgive me for causing you pain,
You are the unlikely person I have to hurt,
I am viewing our love circle the drain,
The end we can no longer divert.

I say farewell to your crumbling mask,
Hello to the intruder underneath,
Who are you? The enquiry I won't ask,
You never own what lies beneath.

Your outer skin surpasses perfection,
But you fail to show a darker side,
Afraid if you uncover that section,
You will squander your only spot to hide.

I clutched onto this dream too long,
Too tightly, believing you would change,
You could, but you don't realize what's wrong.
Our happy ending is right out of range.

The word goodbye is a heavy blow,
It lands like a fist, hitting your heart,
I know you say it aches to watch me go,
But it's far worse to be the one to depart.
I always thought that it couldn't hurt that bad being the dumper but now I see I was wrong. Sometimes you have to make choices that are unbearably painful because it's what is best, even if it doesn't feel like it at the moment. Thoughts?
