Gone
It’s awful how we don’t miss something until its gone

I'll Show You
If you believe that I can go no further than this
I'll show you that I can
I show you and I'll give everything I’ve got
And when this is over, I'll still be standing
With my head up, standing triumphantly over you

Stand By
The plainness of my eyes allows yours to stand out more

When I stand next to you
Even though we are the same
The way you do things

All eyes go to you

And I don't mind of course
If it makes you look better
I'm just meant to stand next to you
For you to look better

Rot Away
And so you say
Through seasons with the rain and snow
That I'm not trying anyways
And that I'm useless, so pointless

And so you say
That light doesn't come with the dark
It covers up the soul
Regardless of which one I chose

And so I'm sinking into the ground
Hoping that I can rot away
Leaving a untouched person behind
To grow
Into something that is nothing like the old me

And so maybe I can just, maybe
Finally be free
Of all the things that were holding me back
From all the chances I could have had

So just let me rot away
In peace
And give the seed a chance to sprout
Into something better than what it used to be

Remind Me
You remind me of unbuttered toast
Dry, tasteless

You remind me of a broken but sharpened pencil
Fooling me with your appearance

You remind me of slow wifi
In which I have no need to explain why

You remind me of a stuck zipper
Stubborn, unmoving

Simpily put
I don't like you, and I'm trying to say it discreetly.

Somebody
I'm just a somebody
Yes, it isn't much
But at least, thats better being than a nobody

Words
The amount of writing done each day
I worry that we'll run out of words

Lovely
Oh darling, don't ever say you're ugly
Every time I look at you, you're always so lovely

So lovely that I can't even put it into words

City Star
I live in the city
Where its hard to see the stars
City lights are always so harsh

To see a star in the city is rare
As the city has its own stars
We have no need to look up much

From my spot on the busy sidewalk
The star looked so quiet, so sincere
So unlike the human who gazed at the star

The city continued to move
As one of its people, slowed down
And looked up into the night sky

But alas, a city is always moving
And as I marveled in the beauty of the lone star
Bright against the harshness of the city lights

I walked into a pole

Snowflake
Each snowflake is unique
Similar to that of humans

We don't bother looking at every snowflake to see
But when we see one which catches our eye
We notice it

Humans are different
Some are similar, but still so different
We don't look at every person to know

But when there is that one special snowflake
One that stands out from the rest
We notice it

And everything else looks the same

But we know
Like snowflakes
We are unique

Similar
But still so different



And a hassle to deal with when there is too much

I Do
I do love poetry
I really do

I just don't know what to say
Or what to write

It feels weak compared to the rest
I want to get better

It's either that
Or I'm just being too expectant of myself

But
I do
I really do
Love poetry

(You thought it was gonna be a vow did you?)

Simple
Some things are very simple
So simple that it's hard to believe

Like basically

If you press a knife into your skin
It will hurt.

Hurt
If you say that the pain has gone away
Why does it still hurt everyday?

Tree Stump
It's not tall anymore
Not growing but still alive

And if you leave it there long enough
It's starts to grow again

Know Me
Who are you to judge me?
You don't even know me.

Clingy
You think I'm really clingy.
But really, I'm just lonely.

Dying.
There's no such thing as "growing up."
We're dying everyday.
