Did you really mean it when you said it?
I couldn't decipher it
was that your true personality
or the one you use for show & tell?
I use to believe you
now I'm not so sure
if you are you anymore
because I've seen you with two different faces
walk through two different doors
Zoe G Aug 2019
A blessing in disguise
they always say
and I didn't
believe it
until yesterday
through the pain
I finally see
perfection
in Your mystery
no matter what
I face
you are always with me
and you bless me
abundantly
with all I need
no matter what comes against
and its funny
if there was no pain
I wouldn't be writing this-
Your righteous plan
unfolding before me
shows there is no way to simply
pass by
the battle
because you already have the victory
Zoe G Dec 2018
I moved against the breeze and
it became harder to walk
I tried to talk but my words
drifted
away
against the breeze
Zoe G Feb 2019
A forced day
a forced way  
to show someone how much
you care
a way just to get it out there
in the open air
A fake display
of fake relay
of fantasized stories
that meant nothing
yesterday
Zoe G Dec 2018
I feel
                            so
                                 small
and
                              my
                               ­      thoughts
feel                        like
                       ­               nothing
at
                               all

yet
                              so
                                    many
loving
people
are                               around
                   me
Is it possible to feel this way?

The world is so
cold
that it leaves my
soul
with deep bitter
holes
that no one can
touch
or control
Zoe G Aug 2019
Say I'll change
but I don't
say I'll change
and I won't
staying the same seems fun
until it isn't
Zoe G Dec 2018
HELLO?
Is anyone there?
You write to it
but it doesn't care
it's simply a
blank piece of paper
lying there
staring at your
soul
in despair
there's nothing it
can say
there's nothing it
can do
to help you
overcome
what you are
going through
instead
You have to take
a stand
and make something
new
of this blank
piece of paper
that was handed to
you
This is how I felt when I first started writing poems
Zoe G Aug 2019
I had a friend
her name was blue
she was sad
and i was too
Zoe G Oct 2019
and so we run
chasing
with arms
reaching
pulling
flailing
grabbing
pushing
stretching
blind to what's
already
in front of us

whatever you feel first
(they say)
grab it
keep it
hold it
cherish it
don't let it go
don't let anyone take it

and so we run
and fight
and beat
and curse
and torture
and scream
to claim what we believe is
ours

who is they exactly?
we will never know
but we decided to listen to them
and so we run
and so we run
will we stop?
and so we run
and so we run
will you stop?
and so we run
and so we run
will I stop?
and so we run
and so we run
but eventually we get tired
no one knows it yet, but we will get tired
and what happens after that?
-we run-

Clarity
Clarity
I know you hold
the clarity
when I can't see
guide me
because in the darkness
I lose everything
and the light is too blinding

lead me
because
You
and only
You-
forever,
You hold the clarity
God sees & knows all, He is our source of sight :))
Zoe G Dec 2018
It's cloudy
today
but that's
okay
because I
hold
on to the
hope
that it will be
sunny
someday
Zoe G Feb 2019
The way it goes is as so

Time is given to be dragged out
sometimes you have
nothing
to talk about
and time goes on
with meaningless
phrases
as silence has
always captivated the ages

Or when you have something
meaningful to say
to someone who's  
purpose is beyond
your vocabulary
somehow
in
someway
time seems to
seamlessly
slip
away
Zoe G Aug 2019
spin me around
and let's create
a masterpiece
some may call it abstract
but
we call it
life
Zoe G Jul 2019
When night creeps in
and you are all alone
do you ever wonder
who
will
rescue
you
?
Zoe G Mar 2020
Dead men dance
With freedom in their hands
Gone is the world
Gone are their plans
They have nothing
Yet nothing is okay
Embracing the beauty within the mundane
Wishing
Wishing
They were alive
Zoe G Dec 2018
I'm very quiet
as I sit down at my desk
I take my pencil by the hand
and it begins to dance against the paper
and words come to
life
as I write a new
poem

I'm very quiet as
I focus on writing
while
everyone
joins their
friends
in
discussion
and
gossip

"Quiet everyone!"
the teacher yells out
in frustration, to
everybody
everybody
but
me
Zoe G Dec 2018
In front of me
everybody, everybody
walks in groups
they can't stand the
silence
but I like it with
just
me
---

Everybody, everybody
has their
first
day
at something

Everybody, everybody
takes their
last
breath

Everybody, everybody
has a reason for living
but what if I haven't
found my reason
it yet
Zoe G Oct 2019
Once you
experience
something
it becomes
easier, harder
to talk about
harder, easier
to think about
Zoe G Jan 2020
Tell me
how do I fall out of love?
I know its not common,
with everyone floating into
love
but I want to leave
this land
of love
So teach me
to stop loving
to stop holding
to stop waiting
for truth

I'm done with love
I'm done with you
Zoe G Dec 2018
Lately, I've been drifting
drifting
drifting far away
wherever my mind goes
goes
I don't want to stay
stay
I wish my thoughts would just go away
away
to another day
any other day
but not today
today
Zoe G Dec 2018
Please don't be mad
                                                             ­                                        I already was
Please don't feel hurt
                                                            ­                                         I already did
Please don't hide your feelings
                                                        ­                                             ._.

Irritation
the
ignition
of
rage
Zoe G Feb 2019
Little girl
blonde hair
asked me
how I
would define
a friend
and her question went
unanswered
as my mind became a
piece of paper
with nothing to say
and nothing left for later
Zoe G Jul 2019
hey you :))
I love you
too scared to say it
so I write it
and you may never see it
but in case you do
hey you
I really love you
Zoe G Aug 2019
paper thin
paper white
losing vision
losing sight

fade to darkness
fade away
fail to see the light of day

gone
Zoe G Aug 2019
So many poems about
love
because it's what we feel
emotions
bottled up
when
something hits our
brain
unexpected pain
that forces us to
express how we feel
because its a big deal
when you feel like a part of
you
is gone
Zoe G Jul 2019
Thanks for:
-letting me talk to you
-letting me in
-always listening and being more than a friend
-being patient, when I get out of control
-sharing silence and comforting my soul
-your guidance

~And please help me to see all the blessings that you give to me. May I learn to listen and hear your voice. May I live a life where I rejoice you~
My prayer to God :)) <3
Zoe G Dec 2018
I pull him closer
my head is on his shoulder
he's stroking my hand
and I tell him we were meant to be
we can recite each other's
wishes
on command
we know each other's secrets
and we have plans
to make each other better
sitting on the rocks
some place far away
watching the waves
crash
that day
in my dreams
Zoe G Jan 2019
hey there
I'm still here
I'm still listening
I haven't gone away
and even though I am
not here to stay
I'm still
here
for now
so go on
Zoe G Mar 2019
This is
and
that
can be

is it
truth
or
reality

walking in
your
darkness
with no
real
clarity

and lies
become
your charity

yet
to
others,
with
blind
vision

you still
see
Some people are so confused in life. You and others may try to help them, but they ignore you as they keep digging a hole for themselves. To others, they look completely fine, yet where no one can see, they are actually falling apart. Yet you know that they are crumbling because of the values they set for themselves, or maybe no values at all-and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, because they won't listen.
Zoe G Feb 2019
We learn about
back
then
and what
happened
how we
changed
grew
fell short
failed
gave up
and
tried
again
learned
discriminated
accepted
unified
fought
agreed
and how it all came to be
So when they look back on us, what will
they
see?
Zoe G Aug 2019
hold me
hold me
hold me
like there's more you had say
so this doesn't become a fairy tale
someone read yesterday
Zoe G Dec 2018
I heard someone once
say
that love at
first sight
is simply
lust
at first sight
and that it
destroys
your soul
and
I
believe
it
Zoe G Dec 2018
To take
                    a trip
              inside my
mind
                     and see what
                         it feels
                             like for some
                time
                                           Do you
                 feel pain
                                           or do you
             feel joy
                                                                          Do you
                                    feel complete
             or destroyed?
                                  You asked me how
                                                                                   I am feeling
                                      and now you
              know
                                           the road
                                                              that I choose
                   to go

                                           So you ask me how
                I am
                          and I say
                                                                     "I'm fine"
              but now
                                you
                 know
                                         the
                true
                                           answer
from deep inside
The scattered words represent the mind and how different parts of the brain are intertwined together, but in the end, they still form the mind.
Zoe G Aug 2019
I'd like to meet you again
but this time as your girlfriend
this time as your girlfriend
I've already met your parents-
the kindest people
and I'd like to meet them again
but this time as your girlfriend
this time as your girlfriend
I'd like to do this all over
begin at the end
but this time as your girlfriend
your girlfriend
yours
idk where this came from
Zoe G Mar 2019
I'd like to think
that I'm brave
that I'm not afraid
that I'm not everyone's maid
cleaning up their dismay

I'd like to think
that I'm free
from misery
and that darkness that always returns
to me and only me

I'd like to think
that I love
and live a life of a dove
with hope
that could only be found
from above

I'd like to believe that I'm me
but that's hard to do
when what you can't live
what you believe
Zoe G Dec 2018
that it will all pass in due time
then
one
day
rain or shine
you won't
feel
pain
and
you will be
free
yes, you will be
fine
Zoe G Aug 2019
I wrote about crying
apparently I did
you told me so
I wonder what I had to say
did I write that it won't make the pain go away
but somehow
it makes you
feel
better?
I wonder....
Zoe G Jul 2019
I send my love letter to you as a thank you
for everything you put me through
every moment spent together
makes us stronger
honestly not a huge fan of what i wrote 9 days ago but hey
Zoe G Aug 2019
and suddenly.....
nothing meant
everything
to them
Zoe G Dec 2018
Simple seems right
Simple seems easy
Simple seems simple,
Right?
Zoe G Aug 2019
To know that
today
is
all
set
or
taken
care
of
better yet
brings
peace to my soul

knowing

that i don't have to
take
control
Zoe G Dec 2019
Seen by everybody
known by no one
LOL
Zoe G Jul 2019
LOL
I'll write the tea


the tea is all right

Alright?
i just randomly screamed this in my house XD
Zoe G May 2019
So this is what we have become
only daughters or sons
sometimes that's all it needs to be
for one to become free
from within
Zoe G Sep 2019
I'd like to sing for you
a song I wrote for you
and then we can sing together
maybe
someday
Zoe G Mar 2020
Maybe I'll wake up feeling better
Maybe my pain will go away
Tomorrow morning
Maybe I'll wake up with a
smile
on my face
Maybe I'll be okay
When the moon leaves
Maybe the tears will dry
When the light breaks
Maybe my thoughts will drift away

This weight on my back
This cut in my heart
This hole in my brain
This scar on my hand
These bags under my eyes
This hurt in my body
Might go away
If tomorrow morning comes
Today
Zoe G Aug 2019
Please remind me
when we are older
please remind me right now
of you and me
of all of us
together without worries or pain
living in the moment
brought such happiness
and I want to go back
but I can't
so remind me
please
Zoe G Aug 2019
Cloudy and blurry
from the gray-white dust, the must
that I've refused to clean
some say your mirror is your enemy

Round and circular
the old wooden frame
that holds the glass in place
and when I see the reflection of my face
I smile
and I gain confidence

Some say your mirror is your enemy
and I can see their viewpoint
I understand
but on the other hand
a mirror reflects the beauty put in front of it
so I am reminded that I'm created in my Father's image
and I gain confidence

Some say your mirror is your enemy
but my mirror helps me
if my outfit doesn't look the best
my mirror is the first to let me know
and I gain confidence

Some say your mirror is your enemy
but we work out together
I lift these weights
see myself improving
and I gain confidence

Some say your mirror is your enemy
but my mirror is my friend
because its the only one who sees
my confidence
