some treat attractiveness
as if it is THE  deciding factor
to date someone
when it should be
one of MANY prerequisites
Diana Jun 2020
I enjoy poetry
I enjoy reading poets' poems
The excitement
Of knowing that there are
Living
Breathing
Walking
Poems
Lurking in the minds of others
Ones that have yet to be written
Ones that they play around with currently
And poems that they have stored from the past

build your mind with love
that so when you fall
into the black deeps;
love will be waiting.

Survived
All I need
Is a tight hug from you
To join all the broken parts of me.

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived

The idea of perfection itself
Is an illusion
Utopic myth

Fae
The ribbon of our lives
tied by our emotions.
Just like
interlaced fingers.
Eternal, just like
my emotions for you.
Unrequited affection.
Never satisfied.
Thirsty for more,
but never attainable.
Some of these poems have no titles. Also as per usual, the images have no reference to the poems, any relation is creation of your own design. They're old poems I found from high school - college. They're mostly terrible but I don't like keeping the old papers. So.. here. © 9 minutes ago
