If I were a lantern
I'd light your way
I'd keep you company
At the end of everyday

If I were a kayak
I'd get you home safely
No matter the weather
Currents are rough lately

If I were an umbrella
I'd keep you dry
I may attract lightning
But only a few times

If I were a chef
You'd have perfect dinner
Everything so tasty
You might start wishing you were thinner

If I were a house
You'd have a home
Cozy at best but
You'd never be alone

If I were a statue
I'd watch over you
Perhaps a little eerie
But its what I'd like to do

If I were a wifi router
You'd have unlimited speed
No waiting for hours
Instantaneously download your needs

If I were a lover
I'd be the cheesiest one
Flowers, chocolates, jokes
Whatever you want for fun

If I were a millionaire
You'd never need a thing
I'd take care of all your needs
Only a smile you need bring

If I were an actor
I'd struggle I admit
I don't like being fake
For you I'd do it for the bit

If I were a teapot
Your cup would always flow
Energized or relaxed
Either way I've got honey ready to go

If I were an outlet
I'd charge your cords
Endless hours of digital entertainment
so you are never bored

If I were in love
The ink would fill my pen
But it seems I'm not
So it's random thoughts until then
If I were writers block
I'd be scared of me
Endless non sensical little thoughts
Can all be turned into poetry
Loud as the rumbling thunder
My love roar with pride
Never ashamed of it’s power
I give it to those who needs it

Strong as a tidal wave
My love embraces with care
Healing wounds of the past
Tending to those in pain

Glowing like a lighthouse
Calling those who hunger for love
To safety in my light
Always protecting

how does so much blue distance fit
               in this one small room ?
patient expanding their realm        
         exploring a clinical landscape
glacial peace from within

Last night I opened the door to a fear I do not know,
a stranger from the street.
Its overwhelming silhouette now casting over my feet.

It greeted me like a neighbour,
tightly gripping at my hand,
a warmth not becoming of the spectre I did not understand.

For my life I've carried this scar.
A symbol of my mother's mercy,
A blessing of a life for which others have been thirsty.

I quietly parade it in defiance,
that slender crescent moon,
rising from my skin so as not to be forgotten.

Now I stand at the doorway of my conscience
and warily make acquaintance,
with the helpless fear that long feasted on my mother's patience.

I wish I didn't care
that innocents die whilst I write stupid poems
that human lives are treated as despensable
that people suffer death over petty disputes
in a world run by toddlers

I wish I could live in ignorance
that I did not know the worlds struggles
that people starve in poverty
whilst I make a mess of baking cupcakes
that animals are beaten and abandoned
humans abused

I wish I didn't care
I wish I had the attitude of the rich
in their posh gold thrones
with the power to end the problems
but no will to

From lots of laughter, splashing and playing, and sharing memories
to it
coming to an end.
I just came back from my bsfs party. i had so much fun ,I feel sad now that it ended :(. Most likely wont see my whole friend group until school starts and I honestly feel like crying bc of it. (ik it sounds dumb)

If you really love me,
Why won’t you show it?
If you really love me,
Why won’t you say it?

Why won’t you show me that
                                                     you
Don’t love me anymore?
Why won’t you tell me that you

Don’t want me anymore?
That you don’t care, you don’t care,
You care? Don’t you say?
Why don’t you walk away?

Why won’t you send me away,

Like how you
                         Always
Let my presence          fade?

Like how you

                         Loved me?
People have always been so terribly, terribly confusing, huh?

I'm always the one
listening intently
Keeping eye contact
Listening tensely
Everyone else stopped
Your eyes wonder to me
A smile
I'm still listening gently
I like to be the one
Listening patiently
Making sure you're not left out
Because I know when I speak
I'm forgotten about
I'm here, and I'm listening
