If you could see yourself the way I see you
For just a week,
For just a day,
For just an hour,
Or even for a fleeting glimpse in a crowd.

If you could see yourself through my eyes
Then hopefully you would see
That glow around your eyes when you smile
Especially when the smile is sincere
Even when your heart isn't in it, I see it still.

If you could see yourself through my eyes
Maybe you would hear the chimes
That accompany your voice when you laugh.
Maybe you would feel that warmth in your heart
Even when you're fake laughing at my jokes.

If you could see yourself the way I see you,
Standing ready even when you've been tested,
Holding your ground against wave after wave after wave,
Prepared to withstand your thousandth trial,
Even when you know you're on the edge of collapse.

If you could see yourself the way I see you,
You would be stunned into silence.
You would be amazed at the creature you saw.
You would let go of that last nagging thought.
You would love yourself as deeply as I love you.

Someone, we’re breathing the same air.
I give my love to the air.
Hoping you can feel it.

Someone, we’re under the same sky.
I give my smile to the sky.
Hoping you’ll smile, when the sky says "Hi".

Someone, we’re oceans apart.
I’ll swim if there’s a little hope.
A little hope that you, as well, will swim.

Someone, please know you are lovely.
And i think it's so lovely to be lovely with someone.
Maybe it's like floating in the air, the skies, and the ocean.

Someone, i will not say goodbye.
I’m just going to float somewhere,
Somewhere i can be with no one.

Then i realized, you were with your another someone.
And, I, could never be, will never be that someone.
Till then, you have my love always, someone.

I look in the mirror, 
What do I see? 
A broken girl gazes out at me. 
I'm not perfect , 
I will never be, 
The girl that people want me to be. 
I'm unique, 
Don't call me a geek, 
I sing, I draw, I like to speak. 
I see myself inside, 
The girl I always hide.
I need a friend, 
I want the pain to end.
Reflections lie, 
The girl inside dies.
Love me, 
I need peace. 
Help me, 
I need a friend

You left me broken.

Because of you I judged myself a little harder.

Reasons you loved me were now the things I wanted to change.

Out of all things, you used my vulnerabilities against me.

Kindness was used as a weakness, but you were too. My love was taken for granted.

Even though I still loved you for a while afterwards i finally realized my worth.

Not only was i broken, but i was growing. And the new me was glowing. And the part of my life without you i just couldn't wait to show it. My confidence was my new strength and I had you to thank.

All because you left me.

Its a moment in time,
it finds me ever so often.
Like a vague dream that lingers throughout the day,
Or like a childhood home that isn’t gone but isn’t the same.
I miss it with so much of my heart,
And I go back to it often,
It reminds me where I came from, why I am me,
It reminds me of true friends who deeply care.
The moment seems passed,
but the friend I think of often,
I can’t think of a better person than the one of this moment,
I wouldn’t wish any life without them in it.
Its funny because they’re here,
But consistency doesn’t come often,
I see a future in their eyes that I can’t forget,
It’s home and I feel I am always chasing it.
They’re not the one,
at least now,
But their character stays with me often,
Like your deep passion that leads you to a life career,
Like those postcards of paradise that lead you to your own .
I don’t know why she’s stuck around so long,
I don’t know why it comes back so often,
The peacefulness is kind of melancholy and lonely,
But the kind of lonely that you share with another.
Its almost taunting its place in my life,
How it follows between friends so often,
It never seems to fit, like a daisy taken with the weeds,
Like a singer in the shower, with no audience to listen.
I want my friend close,
But how with pain so often?
I can’t seem to bring the past to the present,
I just want to acclimate to the change without loss.
I could go on forever,
My heart cries often,
This may just be a guide for one to come along,
It may just lead me to a home with similar peculiarity.
I will carry this flower,
I will smell it often,
I won’t forget the past with all the good it brings,
I will take what I’ve learned and trek to my home out there.

even with oceans between us,

       I’ll swim against the tide
            to lie
               against
                 your heartbeat

once again.
Why do we seek the truth?
It hurts more than its heals
Lies are soothing, beautiful
The false world is brighter than the real

Darkness blinds, but so does light
Why don't we fear the sun?
Life is pain, death is peace
No one sees the lonely ones

Better to live in false comfort
Than be tortured by reality
"It'll go away if we ignore it
And go back home happily"

Pain breaks through like the dawn
Our world is fill with sorrow
Suffering, and hopelessness
Each day is the same as the tomorrow
