you are a light in
so many people's lives, i
am no exception

you are my whole world
yet i cannot describe you
the way i know best

you make me feel whole
why you make me feel that way,
i struggle to say

i'm so lucky to
have someone like you, but still
i can't explain why

my mom is lovely
we argue and fight, but she
will always be there

i have always loved
my wacky socks more than all
of my other clothes

they started mismatched
then all knee highs, and now they
are so colourful

they're still mismatched and
knee high sometimes, but all i
want is wacky socks

socks are anything
and everything, a nice,
unique part of me

poetry has the
ability to affect
us emotionally

poetry is the
most beautiful written art
it makes you feel things

things you have never
felt before, or you have not
felt in a long time

it opens up your
soul and brings back memories
suppressed long ago

i opened my door
i let you into my heart
thanks for breaking me

how does it feel? good?
you know that you've broken me
but you do not care

i don't care. do you?
i know you don't care at all
just leave me alone

i lied. i do care.
i care more than you'd believe
whatever. i'll leave.

TRIGGER WARNING - symptoms of depression

i'm drowsy, sleepy,
so tired, and pleading for
a little shut eye

sadness keeps me from
getting any sleep but i
cannot explain it

i am not a threat
to myself or others, but
i'm not in control

i feel so empty
i am sad but not, i'm an
emotionless child

no one understands
how much i struggle each day
i don't need your help

i do need your help
my pride keeps me from asking
please don't worry, please

i am fine i swear
my problems are nothing to
what others deal with

i just need to sleep
hopefully that will fix this
i can only hope now

love can be tricky
love can be hurtful, but still
love is always love

i know it was for
the best, my love, but alas
i miss you so, love

i know you are sad
and that breaks my heart, and me?
all i need is you

i need my sunshine
i want my baby back, please
i hope you're happy

maybe we can try a
second time, my love, maybe,
just maybe, we will

i hoped to marry you
that hope is still here baby
i love you sunshine
