It’s like the only time I can see outside of this hole
Is when I’m trying to make sure others don’t see
That I’m digging it deeper
And
Deeper
And
Deeper
And falling
Further
And
Further
And
Further
Until I can’t get out
Weronika Kierzek Mar 2022
This time is for change,
Time for my happiness,
Time for the colour in my eyes to glisten again,
It's time for a chance to grow.

Just a thought that he could be,
Anything I could ever need.
With eyes that hold only the truth,
And with a heart full of love and wonder.

His touch melts away the stress,
His words can calm the worst of my anger,
All along it's what I needed but never could have.
I get a feeling that this time around the feelings are reciprocated.

Our eyes shining like the stars we once wished upon,
And our hearts now beating to a matching rhythm of content.

A box fell from the shelf
Before my very eyes,
Spilling contents as it went,
To the place that it now lies.

I don't understand why
Certain things are beautiful.
But I watched it as it made
Its descent and I felt very
Moved.

I thought I was falling in love
But it was the beginning of me falling apart

you're funny, like my friends /

you talk like them, you walk like them, like the same things as them / and we, we get along just like them / but this is a love poem / so, of course you are different  /

you're funny, in a way that smiles lasts for days / even when what was said wasn't even a joke to begin with / you talk, as if you there's lightness around you and there's time (there’s time) to run around - and to sit, quietly

(can you do that with me?)

/ yet you don't just like things, you love things - things that make you bright - you love the things I am /

but you can still be like them / like my friends, still.

/ but this / this is a love poem / so of course, you'll always be different to me
wrote this when I realized that I was starting to see the person turn into something more than a friend. I was scared and hesitant, so I wrote. and while I was, the last line wrote itself - translation, it's too late but it's also wonderful. it's fragile but it's the way things are right now, hence why this turned out to be a love poem after all.

Oh, how i think living is such a terrible tragedy
Falling and faltering while you cradle me in your arms
My skin burns where we touch and connect
I can feel this agony
I can feel myself writhe in pain when you hold me
Nothing but comforting touches and platonic affection
Yet i still burn with discomfort

What is this great calamity
What is this god if not my captor
My religion must be you they tell me
But i am still falling and faltering
And burning in this torment
If i push you out of my mind
And ignore the words of my peers
Will I find peace?
Or will I still live in this never ending desolation
im falling and falling and falling and yet i never land at rock bottom, somehow that worse than anything i could ever imagine.

It's a frigid January
With gloomy sky,
Depressing weather, and
Falling snow.
Yet, I don’t care!

I want to play,
I want to have fun,
I want to climb in the trees,
I want to be free,
I want to be present,
I want to feel alive!

Winter will not take hold of
My love for nature,
I will forever have an eagerness to
Dance to the eternal melody of life!

Hussein Dekmak
I got inspired to write this poem after I saw a kid climbing in a tree from across the street.

don’t fall for the man who looks at you like an object
don’t fall for the man who can’t respect your boundaries
don’t think highly of the man who blackmails you into things you don’t wanna do
don’t fall for the man who’s spitefully erasing your name
don’t fall for the man who “never loved you anyway”
don’t fall for the man who twists your words in hopes of your own insanity
don’t you dare stumble for the man who will replace you in five days
don’t fall for the man who calls you pretty but not smart or kind or his best friend
don’t fall for the man who acts poised and proper unless he’s alone with you
and don’t you dare fall for the man who doesn’t fall for you but wants you to lick his wounds and bring you home to his parents so you can be the centerpiece on his set table while you are dying inside
don’t you dare fall for him
don’t you dare
He’s not worth all that trouble

existential crisis- i am alone
sinking, then floating
in mute and pine green tones
the forest of secrets
screaming in pillows
and losing grip on the moving platform
desert crying
sidewalk skipping
falling
and bleeding
internal deprecation
hitting my own fingers with text books
to make them stop admitting my mistakes
stop misusing the “right” words
the break of dawn over the woods
using the moon as a defense mechanism
losing a helper
a security system
and i think it’s time i run back to you
unless you don’t want me there with you
i will just be numb until you call out my name
in the tortured heat
i will be there if you need me
Listen to falling by harry styles while reading
Thanks...
