Read my Mind
ok okay Jan 13
I find it hard to talk sometimes
As if the thoughts had escaped my mind
Past the endless cerulean skies
And through the knots of time
Instead, I write
So that you can understand
What is going on inside
Sometimes I just wish that you could read my mind
ok okay Apr 2020
I think I get it now
I can't even see the stars
Although there is no need to wonder
I am sure they are as bright they have always been
They are just hiding
Beyond my roof
And beyond the clouds
I doubt they will go anywhere anytime soon

Acceptance was my first lesson
I have never been one to meditate
Although somehow
My mind has brought me to an understanding
The light should not be rejected
For how else would a flower bloom
I think its sad how people trap them in their room
It is beautiful
How we live
And how we love
I hate hatred
And I often hate myself
But then I realise
That dwelling will get me nowhere

Another lesson I learned was about frustration
Not everything will come your way
From my experiences
I have gained friends
Lost friends
And sometimes lost myself
But even through all of that
I learned how important it is to never neglect yourself
If you only live for others
Then what will happen when they are gone?

I learned recently about taking initiative
Anxiety is the reason my nails are short
The reason why I shake my leg
And the reason why nobody else cares
Or at least that is what I used to think in my head
But over time it came to my mind
That I could not blame anxiety for all my problems
Life is cruel
But its probably not as cruel as I thought it was

My hardest lesson was not to dwell in my own dissatisfaction
Depression was the word I used to describe the void in my soul
I used to think that nothing could ever possibly get better
And that it was better to die young instead of dying of old age
The chemicals in my mind are still changing
So when I am feeling down
I always try to acknowledge that

Writing has been therapeutic for me
It has changed the way I view the world
For both good and bad
I have met people on here who have helped me on the darkest days
So I say to anyone in need
There are people on here who want to listen
I want to listen
Lets all try get through this mess o.o

ok okay May 15
Vivid green grass
A hollow day
I am stuck looking down
Her eyes await
Birds singing lullabies
Lost in a daze
This city is burning
We will become ash one day
Maybe I should look up
To see your face
80 · Jan 12
Desolate December
ok okay Jan 12
Desolate December
Can't seem to remember
Death loomed the bend
Life could not mend
Darkness took the moon away
It stole my heart and consumed the day
Now the year ends
And as hollow as it feels
I can see light on the horizon
I hope it will change
78 · Feb 7
Live Not to Remember
ok okay Feb 7
I live not to remember
Or else these days will repeat
The memories and their echoes will never leave
Spring has become hollow
Like a lost fever dream
Maybe all this time just means nothing
And nothing has become me
Some days feel endless
As if sleep will not come
Other days feel too precious
To accept they are gone
Live not just for the moment
But the moments yet to come
Or you will feel stranded with no one to love
ok okay Dec 2023
Misery is an afterthought
A stain unnoticed and ignored
Beauty lies where terror stands
It falls again from our two hands
A lovely world where we reside
With every day and turning tide
The end will be where we confide
And admit that death has become our life
77 · Jul 18
Half Empty
ok okay Jul 18
Suddenly this room is half full
Maybe half empty to you
Breakups are tough
77 · Aug 2020
Discord?
ok okay Aug 2020
Thinking of starting a server on discord where people can post poems, thoughts, talk, etc... message if interested

Untitled
ok okay Feb 8
I don't want to hurt anyone
Maybe that just means I will end up hurting everyone
ok okay Jan 2020
Somewhere beneath the shadows
Lies nothing but the hollow
A sort of sullen emptiness
I wonder why it follows
Maybe it just wants to be alive
And to dream the same as I
Maybe we could swap places
Honestly
I never really envied life
75 · Apr 2
It Feels like Deja Vu
ok okay Apr 2
Bourbon mixed with sweet decay
Empty sheets
A hollow day
Tell me things you should not say
Our dreams can take us far away
Along the river
Under the stars
Past the meadow where nothing lasts
Far away
Let us disappear
Until we wake up and repeat it all again
74 · Jun 2020
fly away butterfly :(
ok okay Jun 2020
When the butterflies come
And flutter wings so young
When their paradise falls
Will they hit the ground too
73 · Feb 4
Who are You?
ok okay Feb 4
A stranger in my room
If only then I knew
73 · Aug 2020
Mellow Meadows
ok okay Aug 2020
Do you ever just look at something
With not a thought on your mind
But your lovely blank stare
Can see straight past the blue sky
And over the mellow meadows which give color to dreams
Over the infinite skyscrapers that grow but do not leave
Do you stare at the trees which may not have long before fall
And not even have one single thought at all
73 · Mar 11
Nothing Truly Stays
ok okay Mar 11
Once upon a time
I saw you walking straight my way
Now I no longer see you
You have walked too far away
Please do not leave
No just get the **** away
I fell for your touch
And you fell for the words that I would say
My eyes saw the world differently
You heard that my voice had changed
I used to dream that you would stay
But now I just see the demons
You left in my space
72 · May 2020
Late Night Vibes
ok okay May 2020
I love this vibe
Rain hits the windows
As cars pass by
The music is booming
I feel so alive
We sit in silence
And watch the pretty night sky
The thoughts are gone
Just for a moment
But the moment feels right
70 · May 2020
It Always Rains
ok okay May 2020
My fantasies are far from perfect
Because it always rains
They love me
They hate me
And then they all go away
Is this fantasy or reality
My tears will surely say
Oh well
At least tomorrow will be another day
69 · Jun 2019
Why Should I Stay
ok okay Jun 2019
I didn't ask to be here
So why should I have to stay?
69 · Dec 2023
A Note for the End
ok okay Dec 2023
Is that all I was worth?
A note
Some words
Ink on a ripped-out diary page

'I feel lost'
So you said
Now I feel lost in my head
How could I be so naive
To think we could have ever been

When you said 'I do not love you'
My heart shattered
Now it feels like nothing matters
I just wish you could have said
So long ago
Because now I feel empty
And my dreams are all hollow
69 · Nov 2020
No Longer Falling
ok okay Nov 2020
I'm no longer falling
Now I'm falling in love
69 · Jul 2020
Untitled
ok okay Jul 2020
Runaway thoughts
Too far gone from the mind
All this madness and chaos
Is enough to turn the whole world blind
69 · Nov 2023
Falling with the Rain
ok okay Nov 2023
I find it hard to talk about life sometimes
Instead, I watch as time rots by
Fleeting days
Turn to forever nights

A hollow madness permeates my room
Nothing will stay forever
I like to say
'Just look at how the seasons change'
But for now, I fall with the pouring rain
Every dream is a nightmare when you must wake up
68 · Dec 2020
Untitled
ok okay Dec 2020
Dark thoughts
The night falls slow
I see not a single star
I feel so low
Time becomes abstract
I can't bring myself to breathe
I lose myself in my lovely sheets

This room is hollow
For I would know
The light will come later
Tonight the tears will show
68 · Nov 2020
Lower and lower...
ok okay Nov 2020
Stone cold
The words you spoke
But you didn't even know
And no one else seemed to either
Drifting
Is where my mind was
But no one ever asked
And now it continues to drift
Further.....
Down

And

Down...

Lower

And

Lower.
Into the depths of my favorite fantasies
And the border of my dullest nightmares

I fear myself like I fear the empty midnight sky
No stars to connect
No friends to create
Just an empty abyss
Its nice at first
The peace
And the quiet
But the quiet never leaves
Until its too loud to bare

I don't write disorderly
I just write how I feel
And right now I feel messy
My mind is as messy as the words before me
But they are words nonetheless

I want to impress people
I want to show how great I can be
I want to love myself like how others love me
Through all this pain and hurt
It will shape who I am
And I will be better for it
68 · Apr 13
Untitled
ok okay Apr 13
Take me where your eyes desire
Your heart stopped beating long ago
68 · Jan 2020
Burred in the Lost
ok okay Jan 2020
The words do not always come
Sometimes they can not be wrote
They are just thoughts stuck in the mind
Burred in all that is lost
67 · Jun 2020
Untitled
ok okay Jun 2020
I just want to go where my mind is gone
Tell a few stories
Write a few songs
Get lost in a daydream
And wait till the trauma is gone
67 · Mar 2020
Lost
ok okay Mar 2020
Somewhere down a river
Past the land that no one walks
Lies nothing but a mossy meadow
And a man who's clearly lost
Silence puts his mind at ease
Flowers make him grow a smile
Peaceful
But scary
This place makes him wary
Will this man ever find his way out?
Maybe it wasn't because of its location. Maybe it's all in his head. Lost in his mind and lonely in a crowd.
67 · May 2020
idk
ok okay May 2020
idk
I am not sure what is happening
But surely the rain will make me numb
When it stops then maybe sleep
I hope I dream of love
I am sensitive
Insecure
My emotions take me where they want
The simplest things I overthink
I am as vulnerable as they come

Loneliness keeps me in sometimes
I think I shake too much

Even around the plenty
It sometimes feels empty
These thoughts get me too ****** up

I wish there was an easy way
To get past the hurdles in my brain

But I know deep down
That this sadness is only temporary
Or at least that is what I say
66 · Oct 2023
Sometimes We Fall
ok okay Oct 2023
When no one is there
It feels like there is nothing at all
Not a hand to hold
Nor a face to see
The emptiness is terrifying
Yet it is so close to me

In hard times we crumble
And fall to our knees
We must stand up
Or we will get lost
Like blue eyes in the sea

I fear the color is gone
Now I only see black
In the darkness
I loom
And pretend it ain't all that bad
But when I see the clock ticking
The memories all come back
Been a bit of a struggle with my relationship, it was once blooming. Now it feels like it's fading away like everything else. I hope I can bring back a spark to it and give it the growth it needs. Love and patience.
66 · Sep 2020
The Depths of Your Eyes
ok okay Sep 2020
Sometimes my mind wanders
Into the depths of your eyes
I feel my heart quicken
As if I have come back to life

With lips like yours
Who couldn't resist
Not a thought on my mind
Except I think we should kiss

When you smile
And laugh
For not a reason at all
I know I could stay with you through all day and nightfall

The way you look at me
With such beautiful eyes
Makes me so happy
To be alive
66 · Jun 25
Sombre were the Stars
ok okay Jun 25
Sombre
Torn
He lay upon a bed of thorns
Soft words escaped his lips
'I wish to awake from this horrid abyss'

The moon allured his sight
Into the depths of night
Waiting for sleep
While darkness creeps
Slumber had never felt so warm
Sombre were the stars
The moon forever mourns
65 · Jan 29
What Do You See?
ok okay Jan 29
I stare at this empty mirror
Standing still as a picture
Watching my rugged figure
Eyes can tell great stories
I wait for someone to read mine

Silence echoes and overwhelms
Hollow walls surround me
They will break down
For now I wait for sound
The chirps of birds to clear my head
The hush of rain to keep me sane

Time feels endless
It will deceive
The night will not leave

Darkness claimed my shadow
Leaving me to fight this night alone
The air feels dense
It suffocates
I feel lost in my own home

Maybe you will not understand
Your mirror may not look the same
You could be glowing
With a smile bright as day
Ready for the world to come your way
Sometimes I find it hard to talk, so I write instead. I don't understand how people move on fast. I feel lost all the time. But I am trying my best and I know I can improve. Thank you for everyone who reads my work. It makes me happy.
65 · May 2020
sdfsdfafs
ok okay May 2020
It hurts
It may do for a while
I think i'm just waiting for the music to stop
Because the silence is unbearable
These thoughts do not go away
But I have learnt to let them in
To push them away is to leave this earth
And I don't want to go away again
I know I am young
Sometimes I only see the worst
But I want you to be happy
And I want to be happy too
The pain will stay for a while
But when it has gone
You will be better for it
And I will be too
The sun will shine eventually
We will not always feel blue
64 · Oct 2020
Vanish
ok okay Oct 2020
Vanish
Dissipate
My thoughts get lost when we kiss
Let us travel to infinity
We can hold hands through the mist
I will write you
And hold you
We can pretend time does not exist
When the stars appear in the sky
Just know I'm thinking of you
Because I'll never forget the night
We held hands under the perfect starry view
64 · May 2020
Deep Down
ok okay May 2020
I try to escape it
But I swear I am losing it instead
My mind does not go when I want it
And fades away when I am scared
I feel sick to my stomach
This pain never goes away
I lose connections with others
And get stuck in the rain
Deep down inside
I feel like I am going insane
62 · Mar 2020
I am Fine
ok okay Mar 2020
'Are you okay?'

I am tired of falling
I stumble through time
Lose connections with others
And watch days go by
I am waiting for someone
When will they arrive

Ask me again?

I am fine
61 · May 2020
Untitled
ok okay May 2020
The wrinkles will come soon
So best not to let your mind rot
For at the end of the day
That's all that you've got
61 · May 2020
Meadow
ok okay May 2020
In this dream like meadow
Let your legs become roots
Open your heart to the flowers
In time it will bloom
Let the rain tap your skin
And let it nurture your soul
Become one with the forest
Before it is gone
61 · Apr 2020

ok okay Apr 2020
She did not know the world
I think it took her by surprise
Lost in her imagination
Her bed would let out a sigh
I wonder what she is dreaming now
Maybe of sunny days
Or rainy nights
60 · Jun 2020

ok okay Jun 2020
Im so sad that the tears dont come
59 · Mar 2020
Watching the Door
ok okay Mar 2020
Watch the door
Maybe something will come in
I am not sure what yet
My heart is palpitating
My mind is falling apart
I want to scream
But my parents might wake up
I want to cry
But im scared that if the tears block my view
Something could get me
I'm losing it
Everyday feels the same
This loneliness is terrifying
I have never been so scared of the darkness
I used to embrace it
But now it scares me
The silence is too much to bare
What if I lose my mind when the music stops
I don't want to dream
They **** with me
What if I wake up and no ones there
And they only appear to hurt me
I am truly scared
It makes it hard to breathe
I feel tired
But erratic
I wish everything could go away when I wanted
These thoughts I have
They are ruining everything
It makes it so hard to do anything
I feel dead
And trapped
Yet lost all at once
I cant handle this **** much longer
Everything is a mess
Label me depressed
Label me anxious
It means nothing to me
I am just trying my best
But I cant do this much longer
And I know I have said that before
But this time it feels real
I think my opportunities are nearly gone

ok okay Aug 2020
This girl said she was falling in love with me
I think she was just falling for my words
59 · Jul 24
Voices in the rain
ok okay Jul 24
I like it here
I think we should stay
Under this umbrella
Let's watch the world rot away
ok okay May 27
Lost in a hurricane
Her words were so torn
Distorted was her vision
She was growing horns
Her reflection found a puddle
But her likeness looked away
Ugly as the impending clouds
Life had never felt so grey

Eyes stranded in the center of the storm
Breath no longer warm
I could have sworn
She was dancing in the sun yesterday
Now she lives in between a storm
One final wish before she disintegrates
'I wish to be reborn'
57 · Jan 21
Lose my Mind
ok okay Jan 21
I hate this empty silence
It bleeds through these hollow walls
The wallpaper peels as I dream
I get lost in endless halls
Nothing is really as it seems
You can tell by how the rain falls
There is light outside this room sometimes
I can see it through the blinds
It waits for me to understand
Until I lose my mind
If I lose my mind, maybe I will understand
and leave.
57 · Mar 2020
It Rains Sometimes
ok okay Mar 2020
It rains sometimes
So everyone huddles inside
But that is when I love to be outside
Because it is only me and the touch of an old friend
I can SCREAM
I can cry...
And just like rain
The tears dry
But all good things must come to an end
Out comes the sun
Out comes the smiles
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  **** me
56 · Dec 2023
Hold on Tight
ok okay Dec 2023
A smile enveloped in moonlight
Took the pain from my eyes
I took her hand and we let go of our minds
ok okay Jan 28
The silent nights are the longest
It feels as if time stands still
The hush of the void is deafening
It lets not you sleep
Leaving your eyes stranded to watch as the night goes by
At this hour the mind wanders
For most rest has come
But for some time echoes
Endlessly
It repeats
Again
Again
Again
Again
As if everything was predetermined
