#but poems on Hello Poetry

kain Feb 2020

I hope you enjoy
Life without me
Because I am done writing
All these love notes
I am done with all these ****** poems
I am done with your no answers
And your "misunderstandings"
And your cute quirks
Like never apologizing
And overdramatizing
And victim blaming
Self deprecating
Body shaming
Overt manipulation
I am done with looking at you
Across the room
Hoping you'll look back
I know you won't and
I don't want you to
I hope you like
Your own medicine
Because I've cut you out of my life
Now you don't mean anything

Took me long enough.

Puzzled

Tell us all your
Hopes and dreams
But keep your opinions
And your hands to yourself

No wonder children are confused

Not Your Name (but)

Never give a man of words
The silent time to fly a plane
As he'll take off and write your character in the sky

In big curly letters

Passenger

Rain drums on roof tiles
And I feel strangely happy
My heart is shy and keeps quiet
But right now, leaps forwards
Dreams of plaid couches
And carpeted dreams
I'm content, again
In my own head

These little moments are becoming more and more common. I don't like this poem though. It's not great. Not sure why my brain is broken lately. Title is a Britney Spears song. Should I write my mind?

Dressed in sunshine

At my funeral I want everyone to wear yellow.
I dont want to have a single person wearing black.
My whole life has been so dark,
Ive been haunted by that depressing color for too long now.
So just this once, please let me have at least a little light.

Oh and there is also going to be a bounce house. All of u are invited.

Happy

I'm thriving
Growing like a ****
Laughing at midnight
In my room by myself
Not because I'm manic
But because I'm happy
Happy
It's been a while since I've said that

I cut up a pair of old lace tights and now it's a crop top. For me, this is what living feels like.
