Some rules are meant to be broken.
As a matter of fact, I'd like that very much.
Mystery makes for anticipation.

i am not your canvas.
you cannot cover my empty spaces
with colors that you chose and i hate.

i won't let you hide my words.
just because you can't see them
doesn't mean they're not there.
i am a blank canvas but
i know more than you ever will
about art and its anger.

there's something in my not-there
i've always hidden from you.
it's not the purity you think i have.
see, when you make that first stroke
i become a painting
and not potential.

when you're empty people look
and they do not view, but dream.
let them fill me in themselves.
i'm no accomplice in your crusade
to limit what they see.

i am not your canvas.
hang me as i am.

sure we have friends
and family too,
but in the end
it's really only you,
nobody else to
guide you through,

at the end of the day,
when the night comes,
and the light runs away,
it's the demons & the monsters, cue
to attack you, as you lay silently
allowing them to take over you politely,

sure we have friends,
and family too,
but at the end of the day,
you're the only person who can
guide yourself through.
i'm not that type of person, who depends on friends and family to help, or to make me happy. i count on me, and only me. <3

i see baby stars shining temporarily,

acne is terrible, but you can always look on the bright side of things. dedicated to my friend. <3

The summer sky was slashed across our backdrop,
and the bleeding sun beginning to fade,
we counted out the hours, minutes and the seconds,
wishing all the moments we lost could've stayed.
And in that moment I loved you,
I loved you so sure and deep,
and in our temporary lives, on this temporary earth, this temporary moment made it all seem...
worth it.

There exists a place on earth
Where one can find true peace
A place away from stress and pain
A place where all of it will cease

For some, it's near the ocean
That a calm can always be found
The waves carry all the stress away
With that familiar relaxing sound

The coolness of the water,
And the warmth of sunny rays,
It doesn't take very long at all
Before the world melts away

For others it's the forest
That sets their mind at ease
The world feels completely still
When you're surrounded by tall trees

The air somehow feels calmer
It smells remarkably fresh
Some birds tweet in the distance
And your thoughts again can mesh

So often we get caught up
In the worries of the day
We forget to worry about ourselves
And take some time away

So whether you go alone
Or with someone you hold dear
Make sure to find the time you need
To make your head feel clear
I have had such horrible writers block for a few months now. Every time I tried to sit down to write a poem, I couldn't come up with any inspiration. Then when I finally did, I couldn't put them into the right words. The result was confusing poems that I didn't really feel that proud of.
Happy to say that after some much needed time away, the poem came to me and I am proud of it. Starting the new year back on track with some relaxation and some poetry. Hope you all enjoyed it, and can find time to relax and clear your heads in the near future :) <3
