24/F I took a creative writting class
in high school where I
wrote and nervously shared poetry
I graduated
began writting it in my notes
on my iPhone
because I didn't have an audience
to share it with
found Hello Poetry
and now
I have an audience 192 followers / 15.0k words
do you think the stars ever gaze down on us with a look of admiration? that despite everything we've done everything we've been through we're still here gazing back up upon them just like we did before
You deserve much better That is plain to see I can't possibly imagine What you see in me You should be with someone capable Of giving love and devotion I am so ****** up inside Numb to almost all emotion You and I are different Your heart is made of gold While my own is solid as a rock Impenetrable and cold Why was I created this way? Who have I become? I barely recognize myself Or remember where I'm from Please don't get too attached Because I am not made of glue So just because you are stuck on me Doesn't mean I will be too Left all vulnerability behind To deteriorate in the past It's easier to remain indifferent I've learned good things don't last You can't sweep me off my feet I've already been knocked to the ground And I'll only drag you further down with me The longer you stay around Please don't give me presents I am not worthy of the price Somebody as ******* up as me Shouldn't be with someone so nice Please leave me for your own good Before I rip your feelings apart All my edges are sharp pieces of glass If you get any closer I'll break your heart
misunderstood by everyone she played with the pills in her hand every night toying on the fine line between life and death just enough to get a glimpse of heaven for a few shimmering moments where she was neither here nor there but in between
