What's the deal with love
Why is it so elusive
Why do we all
Lives our lives
Chasing out own tails
In the name of love
It's the subject of every song
Every book and movie
Just has to have love
You can only be single
If you're ready to mingle
And I'm done
The only one
I can't wait to fall for
Is myself

Love perpetuated by media is such ****.

Coffee Shop Sitting

When you see me sitting there
     Contemplating
          Forgetting life

It’s partially to be seen
     But also to be
          More than away from the self-trapped in skin

As I AM
     But I’m NOT
          In that moment again

I AM But I’m NOT

Grease

Just because
You take precautions
Doesn't mean
I won't break

I probably will, to be honest.

Isles and Glaciers

Can I please
Be something more
Than empty

Just a bit.

Sometimes

Sometimes
On a sticky morning
Where the sun
Won't stop shining
And my head
Won't stop wondering
The next best thing
Is a tale as old
As time

This is nice and all but it's really just my way of saying that I'm listening to Post-******* again.

i m ' f i n e

is it almost December?
am I finally graduating?
my my time flies, I've done so much
now, I'm ready to move on to the next chapter
opening my gate to something new
taking risks and opportunities
finding a new hobby; be
in love with someone new; and begin a
new adventure; I'm...
excited!

Did you guys manage to find the hidden meaning behind this piece? The first letter from each line spells out "I am not fine". I've been telling people I'm fine and telling them how excited I am about everything... but deep inside, I know I'm still not... I'm still confused and lost about everything and thus, the messy structure towards the end of the poem. The "..." before excited also emphasized my doubts.

I'm An Idiot - Haiku

I am bad at writing.
Especially these bad haikus.
I am an idiot.

Hah. If you don't get the joke, I added one extra syllable to each line. Isn't that idiotic?

That Green Feeling

I’m not saying
That I’m jealous
I just wish
You would look at me
Like you look at her
The way you laugh
And show her your art
And make jokes
That aren’t really fun
That evoke her
Laughter
I would do anything
For that to be me
Sitting side by side
Writing in class
With her looking on
Definitely not jealous

There's a new girl and my crush definitely isn't talking to her and I'm definitely not being a petty trash goblin.
