Not a poem, just an update
Zephyr Jun 2013
Hey everyone, this is just a little update thingy, but thanks everyone who has been liking and following, it means a lot! I don't have a laptop over the summer so I'll hardly be posting but I'll be writing in a journal to upload some time later in the year! Thanks everyone soooo much! <3

Virtual People
Zephyr Oct 2013
I wish sometimes that people could be in real life as they are online
That I could just block them to clear my head
or delete them from my contacts so I wouldn't have to deal with them

It would save the cold shoulders
the tense atmosphere
and lives could change for the better

without having to spend it avoiding problems
If only

"Slow" dance
Zephyr Jul 2013
As the first chord is played
we are already spinning

around and around.

no one else is here.


dreams guide our footsteps,
love keeps us twirling.
We will always take it slow
but our hearts are off to the races

(Count the note as part of the poem, so it could be one poem or two - you decide!)

Over
Zephyr Jun 2013
I'm not going to let you
harass me like this anymore.

You can kiss my *** goodbye
cause I'll see you again in hell.

Laughing because I sent you there.
This kid has been harassing me every ******* day at school, and I let him get to me even though he's a little twerp and boy, is he going to pay.

Oops, haven't quite been sticking to my name have I? Sorry!

Road trip!
Zephyr Jun 2013
"In the island in the sun, we'll be playing having fun"
Weezer blasts through the wind rushing through the open windows

It's been one of those days when I needed to let go of all these stresses,
so some friends, my second family, hopped into a van and rode away.

Nothing is better then knowing something exciting is going to happen,
only because it's better then what is speeding away behind you on the freeway


*Let's go somewhere new together

Pointless stress
Zephyr Nov 2013
Why worry about what other people think about you

She the only opinion that matters is your own on yourself

Just be the best you can on your own and whoever can't handle that
well, that's their problem.
Seriously, just be yourself and that's all that matters. If you try to change who you are to fit with certain people you will never belong anywhere.

Ben
One moment you are like any other person content with their life.
Laughing at my clumsiness
Smiling at the perfect day.

But then you turn back
into a morbid, dark boy.

Someone who has chosen to give up,
to forget every good thing in his life.

Why can't you just live in your happy self?
Please answer

So I thought of you for the first time in, like, all summer.
I just so totally amazes me that I used to not be able to pass a day without thinking about, not you, but us.

Now I hardly even think of you.
ha, I was so immature before.
Only, now you are the opposite.
You are now more immautre.

You lost, I won.

There is just so much
anger

frustration
built up at both

At how he does nothing

fix
anything
and you just make what you two have
so

You - Start standing up for yourself at the right moments, stop going behind his back and making things worse.

Him - Actaully do something, because I'm starting to think you don't even care

Jail, five days a week.
Zephyr Sep 2013
Stuck in another jail house.
At least they let us walk from cell to cell on our own
before we have to sit (not even stand to stretch) for an hour
in a small, cold, stone room.
As they talk in monotone,
punishing us if we dare think about sleeping.
yeah, that's pretty much what school is.

Garh!
Zephyr Jul 2013
The night is at it's darkest
right at the point when it's not sure
if it's late night or early morning.

And I'm up and wanting to go somewhere
away from this boring place
where I am trapped at the night.

I never want to get up and do something during the "waking hours"
The sun is too hot, to forceful, I don't know...

The moon is cool, peaceful.
Inviting you to do something on your own.


But I'm stuck not just to a house, but to a single room.

I wish I could get out and do my own thing.



And I will......someday.....
I'm literally writing what I'm thinking exactly to myself here, haha. It's not poetry, just a record to myself so that when I have my own apartment and can just do whatever at midnight and not have to worry about waking people up, I'll know to fully appreciate it :)

Nightmares have past
Zephyr Jun 2013
You lay beside me calmly through the night,
I love watching your beautiful face so peaceful.
But suddenly you start breathing heavily, loudly
Sweat starts to drip on the sheets and your face is tense.

I can do nothing but hold your hand as it grabs on mine for dear life.
I know these nightmares are from your past you claim to forget,
a time that scarred you for life, that tortures you in the twilight.

I hope someday you tell me of these dreams and your past
so we can have a full understanding and I can help you,
I need to help you past this so you don't have to agonize in the night.
Because I love you too much to sit by and do nothing
This started off as a poem about my cat who has breathing problems and just kind of evolved! Oops!

Tonight
Zephyr Sep 2013
Tonight I'm missing you

Tonight I'm wishing you were sitting next to me on the couch
holding my hand, maybe reading a book
maybe we are talking about nothing
or just sitting there with my head in your lap
listening to the crickets outside, to the silence of the wind
coming through the open window.

Infinite
Zephyr Oct 2013
I'm already so painfully aware of

every

single

mistake

I make.

I don't need you pointing them out as well.
Every moment my mind is telling me
I'll never be good enough for anything
let alone anyone.

I act like I don't mind
One would think I brush everything off
But every moment I'm going over the past
What I should have done, what I shouldn't have
How I'm just one big mistake
And I just make everything worse.

All you are doing right now is giving my mind more proof
against myself.
Why do you think I'm always baking stuff for you guys and trying to win ya'll over? Yes, because I like giving stuff I make to people, but also in the hope it might make up for one mistake. Only thing is I'd have to bake enough for 1000 years for a town to make up for everything I've done.

All so fake
Zephyr Nov 2013
We are all fake
passing in the halls with a smile

did you hear,
have you seen?


shh


But that's it.
No meaning,
maybe a sharing of insecurities
but these are never understood.

We just judge,
and watch,
talk about others,
and talk behind each others back.

Will we ever just


                                                              ­      STOP






...and see what is going on here?

                                                          ­                                    We don't belong together


but there is no one else
I know what you think, your thoughts are all so loud. But there is nothing I can do about it.

First day of school
Zephyr Aug 2013
The passing of faces
I don't see any people

just memories
and forshadowing

of the coming year.
There was a pre-school party today. I call it the first day of school because it was like "Oh great, now I remember why I don't like school" it's never the work. It's the people.

Regrets
Zephyr Oct 2013
Every time I close my eyes
I can see you sitting there on the curb.
I can still see the disapo=pointment, the hurt in your eyes.
I never thought that you would take my words seriously,
and I couldn't go back to you and explain.
Maybe we actually had a chance,
I could tell what was on your mind,
but then I spoke those words right before the rain came down
and I had to leave.
You weren't supposed to take my words seriously,
you were supposed to get that I was joking.
Now it may be to late to mend it.
I can't steal back that moment with your arm around me,
our heads close.
Before I pushed you away with those words.

That weren't serious.
:P It's fun to exaggerate stories for poems.

Those around
Zephyr Oct 2013
I look back at everything I wrote,
think on how all those emotions had past
But they are still here.
I'm a different person
everyone around me is the same though,
no perspective can make it better,
this strange situation.
We are different people
these are different situations
While I look for a way out,
everyone is trying to find a way
to keep me locked in.

I'm always going to be fighting back
always in different ways,
against different persons.

But you are all the same.
You say you aren't the same,
that you aren't like them.

You are,
you always have been.

First day of summer
Zephyr Jun 2015
The flames lick the wood, yet it does not catch fire
A drop of water occasionally falls from the leaves above, still wet from yesterday's rain.

Headphones cover the ears of a girl who is tired of listening

The hammock slowly rocks back and forth, it's motion so slight one hardly notices

The music blares on as her anger slowly diminishes while tears fall

Smoke floats by on a zephyr.

The embers gradually cool and the pulsing glow disappears into black ash

Perfect
Zephyr Sep 2013
I'm not tall
               and that's fine
I'm not skinny
               and that's fine
I'm not a genius
               and that's fine
I don't shine in sports
               and that's fine
Five (great) friends are all I have
               and that's perfect

I'm not a lot of things
I don't have what everyone wants.

But I am me.
And I have music.
               and that's perfect

Touch
Zephyr May 2013
When I hold your hand I want to shiver from the comforting warmth
When you trace my face, universes collide in harmony
As we dance, our fingers feel the kind of burning from frozen feet immersed in hot water

Friend zone
Zephyr Aug 2013
Boy, don't kid yourself.

Stop trying and getting in my way.
Even though it's annoying, it's worse then that
Now I'm being teased and sometimes getting in trouble
because of your little antics that my parents don't like.

Please, just get out of my way.
GAH. Sorry kid, but you're in the friend zone forever. I like someone else.

Mysteries
Zephyr Sep 2013
I really don't know what I saw in you.

The boy who would talk with me past 1
not realizing a second past

But who would have to work on talking to me
in person.

We would run for three miles together
and only exchange a few sentences.

Somehow, though, that was enough for me.
I have a strange mind
460 · Oct 2013
Nothing
Zephyr Oct 2013
We are just here wasting our lives,
crammed in a florescent room.
Pale walls, monotonous voice.
Expecting us to focus
on things that don't even matter.
While we could be out there
making a difference in something.
But instead they force us into
a florescent room with pale walls.
School is only worth-while if we learn things we will use. Otherwise we are wasting our time.

Fly
Zephyr May 2013
Fly
isolated among the immense and dreary gray....
the clouds in the sky are dimming the day

now is our time, our debt to pay
in the streets, many dead will lay

in this single night, its wings will tear,
no longer will it light the way...

the lost will wander endlessly
until with their lives they've payed

the "living" will stay tripping,
over the decayed

until dropping dead,
in a growing mountain they'll forever lay
Found this from exactly two years ago, so if it doesn't make sense, that's why :P

Another lost
Zephyr Jun 2013
I have an idea from another lost,
a bird that flew away before I could take a picture,
a spider that scurried away before it could be caught,
a pen that ran out of ink before I finished.

I have an idea from another lost,
a sentence interrupted,
a voice dried up,
a fish that lay choking on the sand.

Yet another thought maybe worth preserving
gone
vanished
dried out
interrupted
choked

gone

I have an idea from another lost
trying to make failure worth reading about.
Yes, the gone is put in twice on purpose! :)

The School Library
Zephyr Sep 2013
Like the empty roof over a house of anger,
there can be a place of escape
even in the most imprisoning places.

Somewhere were you can think as you wish
without someone deciding you have
to share your thoughts with the world.

A place where you can listen to what you want.
Something, anything other then their constant voices
drilling what they want you to do in your head.
Mine is the place of high wooden rafters
natural light and non-restricting chairs.
Where I can kick my shoes off and put my feet up.

now it's just

him                                                        ­                          her
and they are all alone

without her                                                              ­                   without him

remembering how he didn't kiss her                                       remembering how she never said a word

and staying there

sitting on a bench                                        laying on the ground

re-living regrets
haha, I don't know where this came from

People
Zephyr Jun 2013
Every friend comes as a great person,
we all have our quirks, but that's what makes us unique.

But then the longer I know them,
they start to develop the worst of qualities

Extreme annoyance,
Depression to the point of suicide,
Strangely mean for no reason.

Is it something I did?
Or were they always like that
And I just brought the bad out?

Maybe this is why I don't like people
As hard as I try to see the good,
there's always a ton of bad.
