noa Nov 2020

the future is bright
and you are going to shine
that's what everyone tells us right?
but what if the future isn't mine

what if it will never get better
what if it just stays the same
maybe I will never get that letter,
will every body call me lame?

if that is true
than why am I still trying,
so hard to seem less blue
while the flowers in my head are dying

but I will keep on dreaming
in what I once believed,
to clear my mind from all that screaming
and just be proud of what I've achieved

*The Hidden*

In the art of eye contact,
I wrote you letters
filled with all the words
I wish I’d said

sometimes it's too hard to say it with your tongue

Broken Pieces Nov 2020

You Were

You are the joy that fills my eyes whenever I smile,
You are the reason I can be happy for awhile.

You are the sun who shines through my life,
You are the reason I haven't taken the knife.

You are the reason I can talk about being okay,
You are the reason my life isn't black and grey.

You are the reason I can breathe well,
You are the reason I never fully fell.

You were the reason I was thrilled,
So when you left it hurt, it killed.

You are the reason I am fine
You are..... Well you used to be mine.

But you left us to be a distant part of our past,
Just all because you decided we'd never last.

Sarah Flynn Nov 2020

today is one of those days where I don’t feel like talking.

some days
I don’t want to talk.

come here and kiss me.

my words won’t leave my mouth,
but you’ll know exactly
what I’ve been trying to say.

what if?
what if all this studying
crying
stressing
trying
is for nothing?

what if?
what if i cant do it
i crack in the real thing
i just fall apart
how will i know?

i doubt everything
every little move
every little decision
what if it is not enough?

college is rough and im struggling

Sonorant Oct 2020

Endeavor

The breadth of a cliff
Gauged as narrow,
Glossed with ego.

To his chagrin
He could fall in
And strike the final shoal.

Atoll, a toll.
On her cherry lips,
Beckons a cheery lay.

To have failed
Trounces the fool
That thorns his ears
Of her musical display.

The Feelings

I always get this feeling
Feeling of boring
Laziness is with me
Tiredness is beside me
Overthinking make me weak
Avoiding it make me crazy
I am running and hiding
Trying hard to beat me

Am stuck in this place
Where every route leads to nothing
Waiting for someone
Anyone to save me
I am drowning but i can breathe
How long I'll last am still surviving
My vision is getting dimmer
I can't see what is around me
I do things while am blinded

Remove it, i scream out loud
Deep inside am scared of it
Attempt i made to take it out
But all my power is wasted
Wasted as i become fatigue in time
You can do it, a voice from inside
Motivate me but am not that strong
This feeling has hold me for too long

Best By Far

Of the good things I’ve known in my life
Best by far is you
You are thinking about leaving
Tell what you want me to do

I will straighten up my act
Stop ******* as much
Long as it means you’ll reserve
For me your touch

I miss sleeping with you
Nightly in our bed
I wasn’t harassed by crazy thoughts
In my head

Things will not ever be perfect
Despite how hard they get
Will always try to work it out
Please don’t give up on us yet

I hate this ****

Hidden In Plain Sight

Alone
Laying in sweaty stained sheets
With the ground below
Covered in empty tin and glass

A shallowness
Starts to grow inside
But is pushed to the darkness
Faster than it can show

"No one can see that." He thinks

Positivity sparkles an outside shell
That inside holds putrid and lorn feelings
Hidden deep down and unwilling to show

Everyday it gets harder
But the "smile" never retreats
Because if it ever were to
He'll feel complete defeat

The True Mask

Emotions race
And thoughts begin to follow
Happiness is ripped away
In just one second

Back and fourth
Inside the mind
Like a scale
With the heavier
Always falling to the bottom

The positive wants to be there
But the rest wont allow it
It seems like it is showing
But in reality
That is the mask

The feeling of lonliness
Cannot be shooken
No matter the strength used

He just wants to feel belonged
But life is quick to show
The others that are
While keeping him in the dark
