Looking young for your age
more mature than what you seem
yet everyone mistakes you for being
naive
and immature
and patient
and too sweet
and stupid
and clumsy
and childish
and untouched by the dangers of the world

what did I do
what did I say
that makes people believe this "baby face"
lives that way?
I often get mistaken for being "too innocent," which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Still, it does get annoying when people begin not to take you seriously - even if you haven't spoken a word to them before and when you know you're not that way.

If you sneeze
it means someone is thinking about you

To whoever gave me a cold,
that turned into a sneezing fit

I hope you're happy

I didn't need to check my phone to know who it was
and because of that,
it became my favorite ringtone.

I'll title this later
it's not as important
as letting you know you are loved.
There is someone, somewhere
who misses you
who quietly dreams to see you again
who is grateful for your company
who is willing to do anything to see your smile.

Just know you are loved
more than you think
and sometimes, we also need to learn how to love ourselves.

Poetry is the gateway to my healing
as eyes are the window to the soul
I don't tell anyone I write poetry because I like feeling like I can write without judgment.

When the thought of you
Strikes the most.

I keep feeling
Like I’m supposed to be waiting for something
Like I forgot to call someone
Or reply to a text
Like I have to say good night to someone
Perhaps I forgot to say good morning

But I haven’t talked to anyone
And there’s nothing I needed to do
Yet every time that feeling comes back
I think it’s because of you
