Night SKy
They do not look at the stars.
But if they were to stare into the sky they would notice the dark.
They would see the majestic canvas in which the stars are painted on.
All of the colors that seem to flow easily onto each other.
I bet that they would find comfort there.

Should I Tell Him
Dear people on hello poetry
Do you think I should tell him I like him, or no
I really don't know if I should

Please I need advice

Let Me Go
Please just let me go
Let me just be free
Free from all your lies
And from you’re captivity

Don’t keep me here
Drowning in my tears
Let me walk away
From all this hurt and all this pain
  
Let me see the light
That I thought wasn’t there
Surrender me
Before I surely disappear

Secrets
They come from a dark place in my mind and soul
A place where no one goes

Love Slowly
I fall in love slowly
It'll take me a while to learn to trust
But I'd be willing to try for you
I would be willing to open my heart
And welcome you into my life
But
You should take loving me slowly
and learn to trust me
I hope you'd be willing to try
And open your heart
I hope that you can
Welcome me into my life.

Have you ever
Have you looked into the mirror
Just to see what you look like after you've cried?
To see how empty you look
I do...

Summers Heat
The weather outside is scorching hot
So the water feels amazing
The grass has gotten greener
The wind blows cool air
The summer's heat is still way to hot though

Gone Away
My best friend
Has gone away
Never again will I see her face
She will live on
But in different ways
How many times will I cry
Or try to hold in pain
For she has gone on
She has gone away

Happy birthday

I'm going home

False Love
You said you loved me
Such a lie
How blind I could be
Did your love die
Oh was it fake, oh now I see
I guess it's fine cause now I'm free
Free to love who I please

The Stupid Choice
I'm terrified that one day I'll make a stupid choice
A choice that will change everything
I'm scared to the point I'm shaking
I feel trapped
I feel empty
I feel so much that I need to let go
Please help me
I'm begging you
I always have thoughts that come into my head
They tell me how I feel
I quickly grab my paper and pen
And I soon as I go to write it down
I lost the thought

The River
She rises with wet hair as she turns around. The night sky full of bright stars is nothing compared to her beauty. The light in her eyes is all he notices, he can't look away. He needs her, and he needs her soon. She doesn't even try to wipe away the water dripping from her face. He slowly strides through the water right over to her. He places his hand on her lower back and he leans in. He whispers "I love you." As soon as she says it back the memory fades.
He opens his eyes and realizes he's back in his nursing home, without her.

Is It Just Me?
That one boy who pressured me into telling him I liked him
Now is mad when I finally decided I was done lying about this
I don't like him, In fact I kind of felt bad for him
I felt like the only way to be friends was to be more than friends
It made me uncomfortable lying to him
So I told him I won't be friends with him anymore
Then he tried manipulating me into a relationship
Using the Bible against me

Is it just me who goes through this??

Unlucky love
I'm not this lucky
I've never been
Like all good things
This has to end

Boy
Boy
There's a boy that I like
He's honest and true
I only wish he could like me back
Remember all the things we said we'd do
Well now I will have to do it without you
That's okay though
I have accepted that
You're happy now up in heaven
I will continue to fulfill all the things that we said we were gonna do
Just to say we made it

Guardian Angel
Before I was born
You were assigned to me
You were probably told to guide and direct me
Through this incredible journey called life  
I'm sorry if this world becomes too much
And my thoughts start to consume me
I hope you know that it's not your fault  
You make me hold on another day
Right now I'm relying on you
I need you to give me strength
I need you to remind me that I have a purpose
Because right now I am struggling
Please don't forget about me

Unsophisticated Poet
Maybe I have fallen short of my poems
Maybe I am not good enough to even post on this website
I am and unsophisticated poet
Yet sometimes I feel maybe I have exceeded my expectations
When writing a poem or a thought
But I know that I will never be more than a Unsophisticated Poet

Hold On
You don't know how long you have left with the people you love
So while you have that breath in your lungs
And a beat in your chest
Hold onto what ever you have
Cause you never know how fast it can be taken away

I Went To Your Grave
Yesterday I went to your grave
I put flowers down
I hope that you like them
I tried to sing you happy birthday
But I couldn't stop crying
I miss you
I always wonder what you are doing right now
I hope you're happy

After we left your resting place
We went and saw your grandma
She was sitting on the front porch
We talked for a while

I hope that you celebrated your birthday up in heaven.

Out of Words
I'm running out of words to explain
How much I miss you
I loved you
I truly did, but our love didn't last
There was lack of communication
There were conversations never had
There were things we hid from the light
And to be honest I wouldn't go back

I can't go back
I wouldn't
I don't think I could if I even wanted to

The World
I have recently learned a lot of things
One being the fact that people who live in one country are completely
unaware of everything in another country
It's like an alien coming to earth for the first time
everything is going to be completely new to them

I'll Miss You
I know depression's hard
But please hold on
Lay down your guard
I don't want you to be gone
I'll be here
I'm here
I don't wanna lose another person

Close to you
Everyday it's the same
I wake up and realize that you're still gone
From there it hits me all at once
And then tears come
It feels like I'm drowning
How long will it hurt when people say your name in past tense?
It feels like the only way to be closer to you
Is to do the things we used to do together
But even that makes me cry
Yet I do it anyway
I would gladly listen to the songs that played at your funeral
Even if it brings up those images of you laying still in that casket
Because it makes me feel closer to you
I'm some odd way
When you love you have to prepare to get your heart broke
You have to be willing to get your heart broke
That doesn't always mean that it will
But there is always a chance
I was never prepared for it

Hateful Love
I despise everything that you have turned into
In the time we have been a part
You have changed
Your priorities have changed
Everything that made me fall in love with you
Has faded, It's gone now
The only thing that's left of what once was is the memories
But even that is not enough for me
To know that now all I have left for you is hate
I don't even think I can say I love you
Or that I was proud to say that once upon a time I did love you
In fact I am embarrassed to say that I used to call you mine
I know that people say that when you love somebody you want the best for them
I wanted the best for you, but now I want you to hurt the way I did
I want you to feel every emotion I felt
Especially when you were playing with my emotions
Because one day you wanted me the next I was nothing to you
I want you to feel the burn of all of it
I want you to cry until your lungs feel like they are going to cave in like I did
Because you Made me hurt, you made me feel useless
You made me hate you
Maybe your Mom had something to do with it too
when she told me I wasn't ever going to be enough for you
And I was the problem in your life
I cannot even look at you because of how much you hurt me
The fact that you even moved on so soon
Was I not anything to you?
Did I mean anything?
We were together for almost two years and as soon as we broke up
You moved on
You had a whole line of people waiting for you
And as soon as you could you went for the next person who showed you attention.
How pathetic
Sorry for how blunt this is. I have a lot of emotions towards this subject

The Darkest Night
The stars all have gone dim
And the streets all have filled
The lights Darkened with the night
As People gathered ‘round
To find the last alive
Whoever last was standing
Would be the one to hide
The rest were never to be seen again
During the darkest night

Only Me
If it was only me in this world
Nothing would be different
I'd still be lonely

If it was only me in this universe
I'd still be chasing things
That are just out of reach

The language
They say words I've never heard
With meanings I've never known
They say powerful statements
Yet it means nothing
Because I'll never understand the language of the smart ones

When I'm Gone
Honestly I don't know If I will make it...
I'm going to try, but what if trying isn't enough?
What if I do all I can, but I still sink into that hole in my chest
And people only start to care when I'm gone

If I take that knife or that gun
And I leave...

Sad...
Do you ever find yourself crying and sad for no reason?

Somebody
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
Somebody to want me
Until we grow old
Somebody to care
Somebody to stay
Someone who will love me
I want that somebody

Unrequited Love
See the scars
Painted on her body
Do you see how she hides from the light?
She's afraid if she comes in they will see the faded lines
She's afraid that they will ask what happened to her
When she herself has not yet faced the truth
That this world is destroying her

She thinks that nobody sees her
but somebody does...

He notices her and he loves her
But he could never let her know that
Because he himself is drowning
And he knows that two people
Who are half alive
Cannot be together
Because it will be torturous for them both
53 · Apr 27
Stray
You gave away your heart
Told yourself you were okay
Said 'til death do us part
Said you both would stay
Yet there was trauma and abuse
There were things you couldn't say
You made a stupid truce
now you've become a stray

SCREAM!!
I JUST WANT TO SCREAM
I WANT TO YELL UNTIL IT SHATTERS GLASS
I WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING
I WANT TO SCREAMS SO LOUD THAT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD CAN HEAR IT
I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW ANGRY I AM
I WANT TO SCREAM AND CRY UNTIL MY THROAT IS RAW
I WANT TO SO BAD
but i can't

She Was Empty
She wasn't afraid of death
I learned that the hard way
She took that gun and she went
How could she leave me like this?
My best friend is gone

I thought we'd have forever
Forever wasn't an option
Not anymore

She tried before but was never successful
This time she was
and it literally broke me

Because now I stare at that empty seat next to me
Now I stare at a grave
the same grace my best friend is buried  
Because this world became too much

She took that gun and she went
How could she leave me like this?

How Could You
I was so fragile and young
You never really cared though
I was nothing but a child
And you made me hate my existence
How Could You?
You never saw all of those nights
I cried myself to sleep covering my mouth
To make sure no sound got out
Or the times I hid in the closet so you couldn't find me
Yet you hunted me down
You thirsted on my pain
You found pleasure in my cries
How could you?
You made me feel like I was nothing
Here I am years later
Still battling depression  
Caused by you.

The Sunken Boat
They all lost their lives
As they finally went down under
The ship has gone missing
Yet the weather was just fine
Everybody hoped to make it
But the ships were on thin ice
Nobody would’ve known
That laid beneath the water
Soon would be their boat
The ripples soon would fade
The screams would slowly die
But decades later
People would eventually find
A sunken boat beneath the water
With no one left alive

Not Enough Time
There was not enough time
For me to say
I loved you so much
In every way
Your kindness your love
Your honesty and grace
Will live on through me every day

Unread
How many people will scroll past my poems and never stop to look at them?
How many times will I send someone messages and they never read them?
How many days will I give all I can and people still leave me unread?

Indescribable pain
I...I'm sorry I was to late.
I can't stop crying...this feeling it's more than just hollowness. It's the feeling that I wasn't something worth trying for. That I couldn't help you. There's pain and then there is something else that is indescribable. There's just not even a word to describe it. there is nothing to compare it to either. It's just me being beyond broken. I lost you. You gave up before life could really start.

Why didn't you hold on just another day I could've changed your mind. I could've changed it. I should've been there. I should've but I was to late. I was to late. I missed everything. I'm the blink of an eye you were gone.

You left me....I'm alone now... you're gone...the tears roll and all I can do is sit here and drown in my tears I wanted you. I needed you... I still do...

Pour Out Your Soul
A good friend told me that those who pour out their soul are the strong ones
The ones who hold everything in are the ones who are weak

Kind
.
Everybody is different. What does that mean?
It means we have a chance to see things from different perspectives.
It means that we have every opportunity to learn and grow as people.
We can see the world in a new light.
If only we have it in us to look for it.
We need to be kind and be uplifting and helpful.
That is something that everybody can work on
Including myself.

She's With Jesus
She said he was always staying
When everybody walked away
Now she is gone
And gone to soon
This bitter world had her convinced
that she was not good enough for us
Now instead of living
She lays in the ground
This wound is unable to be healed
I have to words left to say
Cause now she is with Jesus
And not with me
