Growth looks different on everyone.
Don't try to look for the same face twice.

Dating me is left-over pizza at 2 a.m.
Hope you don't care.

I was alone, but I was happy and I think that was the most important point of it all.

We can always go on the rooftop, it's so high, we'll practically be part of the sky.

My right hand on yours, a soda on the other, we'll let the world sleep under our feet.

Everything will be right in its place, every pain will end in its own pace
We'll be alright.
We are going to live just fine.

I won't keep everyone in 2020.
I'm keeping the ones who know how messed up I am,
but never shoved it up to my ***.

You ever feel like you don't have any friends?

Like, friends as in "friends-whom-you-can-run-to-and-be-comfortable-sharing-your-thou­ghts-with?"

Like, friends as in "i-got-you-always"

Same.

You'd wish for more,
But all that you had was almost.

At age six, my mother told me that dancing is not really for me. The ballerina in me died that day.

Age eight, I was told by my uncle that I shouldn't sing for other people. I never hummed eversince.

I held a guitar at age twelve, my brother told me "have you forgotten you can't sing?"

I  look like eight-shattered-dreams.

I trust that we know better now.
Break the cycle.

I think of you everytime it rains.
Maybe not always, but you for sure cross my mind.

If your eyes fall upon these words then they are meant for you.

A sunflower actually makes me feel good, and I’m surprised by the fact that I can still feel better sometimes.

It was a bad day, wasn't it?

It could've been worst but it was not, so take a rest and let's get it together, shall we?

I sleep with the lights off.
Not knowing is far more comforting.

i tried, but you no longer want to.
with sunshine and smiles, i wish that you find warmth in all that you do;
a home you can always run to,
even if it's no longer with me —

i still wish you think of me.

I know this isn't what you wanted it to be but you can still make something good out of it.

I know you can.
Stop clenching your jaw.

I do not love myself today.
And maybe that's okay.

You know I could write hundreds of poems about how lovely you are, and you would prolly say I'm right but you'd still continue your diet.

Please, stop.

I was twelve when I asked my mom
"Is 925 sterling silver necklace worth something?"
As seen on the necklace I received;
From a boy I never noticed.

My mom responded,
"Depends on how you are treated after receiving such thing."

I never looked at things the same way,
Ever again.

Your freckles are one of too many constellations built
in your galaxy.

You may not understand,
As no galaxies are alike.

Don't try so hard to cover them.

Just because one doesn't bend over to meet your expectations doesn't give you the liberty to break them a million times to fit the mold.

'Cause when you cry in a cemetery,
No one dares to ask why.
So, you cry,
Until you stop asking yourself why.

You look happy,
but not the kind of happy you pretend to be.

More like social media-type of happy, and it's not a good thing to look at.

You're not a good thing to look at.

It’s just that these days, there hasn’t been much in my life to praise.

Her
The things that she's paying attention to,
Are actually the things that matters to her.

The things that she apologizes for,
Are the things that offends her.

Pay attention to her and the things that matter.

"I want you to be happy.
I just don't want to have to see it.

Sitting on the sidelines,
Watching you fall for someone else."

I'm sure you'll realize that there are some people you'll never see again.

At least, not in the same way.

Slept for like 13 hrs.
Missed an appointment.
Woke up too early for the next day.

This is what sad people do. I don't like it either.

If I ever lose my battle,
Just know that I fought.

I tried real hard to be alive,
And my lost is no one's fault.

Say to them the lies I used to tell,
That I'm okay and everything's well.

I'll be with you 'til its 2,
We'll have coffee, and sing songs, too.  

I'd dance with you through the night,
'till the cold turns to light.

With every heartbeat -- I'd whisper I love you,
I'd be with you, if I could.

I'm definitely not good with words, and i don't always know what to say but I'll write about you all day.

feel without needing you,
enjoy things you told me not to,
write poems that are no longer about you;

this is my first move.

In an interview I was asked,
"If given the chance to move to a different country, where will it be?"

I'd be where the birds sing,
Where the water flows carelessly,
The fields green.
I'd move to anywhere I can feel what being alive truly means.

"Netherlands", I said.

Hoping she never saw that I am willing to go just right now.

Will wanting to die feel different in another country?

if she ever look at you the same way i did,
how i chose to skip a heartbeat;
if you ever felt free the way you acted when you're with me.

i wonder if you've also felt the words we left unsaid,
or if you are curious to hear them.

i know there's no point in sending this message to you,
but deep down,
i know you wonder, too.

"You know I have to put you on suicide watch", he said.

What, so you can watch me die instead?

You're not slitting your wrist,
But you are careless with your life.

Don't you think the two are the same thing?

If you're hurt, let it hurt today.
Cry over silly reasons.
Hold your breath for a while.
Then, only then, you'll be able to let go.
