I met this boy once
He was so very sad
He needed a friend
And for that I was glad
He confined in me
Every little secret to be told
He confined in me
What his heart could no longer hold
He told me he liked boys
And thought I would run away
But I obviously shocked him
When I told him I would stay
I loved him for sure
A companion at its best
The way we loved each other
Nope. It was nothing like the rest
He wasn't my friend.
He wasn't my best friend.
No he wasn't my brother.
And he was gay so no, He wasn't my lover.
Together weren't different people
It was one person in two bodies
Together we were better
No more bleeding cuts for me
No more aloneness for him
I told you we were better
But one day he had to leave
The world had scarred him too deep
They called him names
And asked him to die
He did as they wished and told me goodbye.
Next time you think of hurting someone...
Just think...
They may be leaving someone behind.
Umm this poem means a lot to me. Once upon a time I lost a really close friend of mine to bullying and I think it was about time to finally let go. I love you Josiah and I hope you're reading this poem somewhere

Every person needs a fall back,
one thing, an Idea
that will never leave.
The root of your goodness
the reason for your living
Not a person, people are temporary
the fall back to make you permanent
So when they shut me out I am not hurt
I tell myself
Live the wiccan way, you don't need them
and it is okay again

Annabelle does sit at play,
In her usual, cheery way.
She does not worry, nor does she fret,
She hasn’t reason to be scared yet.
Then, the seizure overtakes her,
Perhaps caused by a noise, an innocent whir.
“Mom, it’s happening”, she cries,
With her hands she covers her eyes.
“Annabelle, Annabelle, ‘twill all be fine,”
We calmly say, with deep fear inside.
We knew that this was epilepsy,
I wished it wasn’t her, but me.
But she endured the pain and strife,
Now a part of her daily life.
She was strong of heart and head,
Even in her hospital bed.
After a minute, the nausea stops,
And our level of fear gradually drops.
Annabelle returns to her lovely self,
But we know that more seizures will take this sweet, young elf.
I wrote this poem for my younger sister, who is living with epilepsy. She has been so strong and brave, and has inspired me and all of her friends and family.

Why can't you see
See me here
You love me
I love you
But I don't know what to do
Need to look
Need to find
Got to find
Peace of mind
All night long
I've been lying
Can't you see
That I'm dying
You and me
Never meant to be
But we love to see the silver lake
And the golden house
But while we are here we should be wide awake with time, turn around and see if you want me
See me here
I don't know what to do
Need to look
Need to find
Got to find
Peace of mind
All night long
I've been crying
Can't you see
That I'm dying
You and me
Never ever meant to be
But you don't wanna believe
We only see the silver lake
He played that guitar
like cupid on a broken heart
or a harmony upon a harp.

The sad instrument wept
his tears unto the dry crowd
and they sighed in saturation.

And once he was drained
of everything he kept contained
they lit their lighters, begging for more.

Alas, he was alive no longer,
and had nothing but great nothings
left to give them.

So they took the silence,
and gave it back to him.

when they're gone
look for me.
when you've got nothing left to hold on to
lean on me.
when there's nothing left in your heart
but sorrow and ache and loneliness
find me.
when you realize what pain is
talk to me.

but until then
when your life is perfect
and you cannot fathom why i feel
the way i do
and why i lie
the way i do
and why i cry
the way i do

i will love you from a distance

because it is hard to understand something
you yourself do not know.

The falling star crashed, I'm sorry I didn't catch you.
You were a burden, yet a beautiful burden
You were the star that makes me sleep tight at night
A star that makes me smile during the daytime
A star that makes me have shivers in unexpected times
A star that makes me
but I'm sorry I can't catch you anymore

I could speak words to
Convince you to love me
As I would like you to.
But I care too much
To let you be
With a creature
As hideous as me
