The Storm
Konner Jun 2020
“i’ll always choose him”
her voice rolled like thunder
the words struck me like lightning
the raindrops falling down my face
as i watch the wind carry my love away.
it becomes too much to bare
i become a storm cellar, attempting to lock my emotions away.
but the storm is too much,
my love for her consumes me like a surfer in the middle of a hurricane.
i don’t know how to control it.
like the waves my mind is slowly crashing
i’m scared, lost, and confused.
i’m in the middle of nowhere, yet i still scream for help.
somehow i see her and we lock eyes.
she becomes a tornado as she wraps me up,
only to leave me worse then when she found me.
for some reason i can’t convince myself to leave her.  
i hold on to the fact that after every storm there’s still a rainbow.
i just wonder if it’ll be you.

THE WORLD OR US
Konner Oct 2019
why do we hate when we should love
why can’t we forgive and just make up
instead we get mad and hold up guns
we fall into society and now look who’s won
so who’s really winning? the world. or us.

we’re surrounded by people yet all alone
trapped in our minds, trapped in our phones
we say we’re “ok”
but you can tell by the tone
we’re fighting, we’re scared, we just want to feel at home
so who’s really winning? the world. or us.
            
the truth is we’re trapped in society
and scared to be us
so we conform, we change, we try to fit there ways
but the reality is we’ll never be enough
we have to choose happiness, choose love
choose forgiveness and choose to trust
we have to forget society and choose US
So Ask yourself
who will you let win? the world. or us.

I have a friend.
Konner May 2020
she’s always with me, but yet still makes me feel lonely
she’s loyal, she’ll never leave
she knows my every flaw and still chooses to stay
she’s always with me especially on my bad days
she’s jealous, she makes sure she’s the only one in my life.
she’s been by my side and hasn’t left for about 11 months now
she makes sure i don’t smile too much
she knows all my insecurities and helps me make more
she loves to push other people away
she lists everything that’s wrong with me, it makes me go insane
sometimes it seems like she thinks of my life as a game
i once told her to leave, and she clung to neck like a noose
i have a friend.
her name is depression.
