paint me the colors of the rainbow
cover all my dullness,
all my grayness

make me a mask of colors
make it happy
no sight of sadness should be there

make my clothes gleam and glow
to shine away all my flaws
as it is expected that my body will be perfect

make my shoes shine bright red
like those of dorothy's
to hide the red blisters they are causing

paint me the colors of the rainbow,
make me shine bright
to mask all the pain
Make me colorful again

we met and exchanged hellos,
this was in school,
where we were both awkward,
and both kept secrets from each other

we know each other better now,
but there were still secrets between us,
truth or dare was our solution,
"who made you realise you liked girls?"

i never thought of it,
so i brushed it off
said it was a conversation,
for another day

it's been six months,
i've come to terms with who i am,
you guys know that,
"who made you realise you liked girls?"

you,
the answer is you.
you,
it's always been you.
This isn't very poem-like, but I wanted to share it

(Based on my real life experience)

hurt

it hurts
everything hurts
my head,
my heart

my eyes are blood shot,
every night was spent
crying over you,
yet you didn't notice

how could you do that?
leave me like a pile of dirt,
not notice me trying so hard
to get your **** attention

maybe i should just
give up,
find someone new,
someone better

but how can i?
when i'm around you,
my heart beats faster
and butterflies appear
Unrequited love

i bury flowers,
colorful ones
and dull ones,
they all represent something.

i bury one,
for the words
left unsaid
by my mouth.

i bury another,
as a tear rolls down,
for the actions
that i regret.

i bury the last one,
as an ode to a memory
that served me well
in my worst times.

i bury flowers,
the last flower will be buried
when i'm six feet
under the ground.

(17) just you and me,
sitting in the middle of the park
laughing, talking;
star gazing

(21) just you and me,
sitting across each other
milkshake in the middle,
its taste is simply amazing

(24) just you and me,
with fancy suits and fancy dresses
me, kneeling down on one knee;
your smile is breathtaking

(26) just you and me,
you walking down the aisle
me waiting for you at the other side;
our love is everlasting

(29) just you and me,
you with your big belly
and me with our daughter;
she was dancing

(57) just you and me,
our son in his house,
our grandchild in your arms;
to you, she is glancing

(80) just me,
you are resting,
i will soon too,
we are advancing
Life moves fast, enjoy it

— The End —
