Being brave is smiling even though you want to cry
Being brave is not leaving those you love because you can
Being brave is staying alive just because you don’t want to hurt others
Being brave is crying at night and not telling anyone in fear of them being worried
Being brave is helping others with their problems even though nobody helps with yours
You are brave
You smile through the pain
Hide your feelings so I don’t hurt
You never asked for help
Or cried aloud
You stayed with me when I cried and had a bad day
Or when I wanted to talk
You talked first I never said hi first
When you asked for help I left you hanging
When you wanted to talk I was busy
Now you don’t talk to me
And when my days are long and I need to talk
You aren’t there because I never was
We smile in passing
No words escape your lips
Just silent cries and it’s pretty sad
I loved you the most when you were saying goodbye
How could a heart like yours
Love a heart like mine
Yours full of love and dreams of life
Mine full of-
Well it isn't full at all
It's broken
And you were kind enough to look for every piece
And put it back together
I still don't understand this silly game called "love"
She kissed me on the lips so tight
But I didn't kiss her back that night
It was my first time
A symphony of static running down my spine
Little did I know, it would be my last first time
Oh God you're so beautiful and I'm just a mismatched pile of bones how could nature ever decide to let you kiss me
A person falls in love, once in their lifetime
Never twice
You can lie to yourself
You can lie to others
But if the one love was true
It can't be undone
It wont go away
We took the plunge
But her love came with strings attached
A bungee
She jumped back up
While she's on top
Calling to me
While I'm wishing her down
And I have no bungee
Breathing hurts for months on end
A privilege for you
Is a battle for me
Another scratch
Another tear
Another laugh to hide my fear
Another day I hide my pain
I tell them it was all the same
I said it's fine
That I don't get bullied, taunted, or teased
That's a lie
I want to cry
The bullies don't stop
It's up on top
It's in my head
Cry in bed
Just a phase is what they say
Another cut
Another scratch
Another lie
Until I Die
I'm holding onto this rope
My hands are getting tired
So let me use my throat
Society is ****** up because we let it be
I have tasted the stars
And hooked I was on the liberating feeling of love
Because your love was like the light shown from the stars above
But the feeling was soon forgotten and over thrown with hate and wrongful acts
And now I'm stuck here playing pretend in a life I long to end
She came into my life as quickly as she left
Laying awake with emotions swirling between our heads
Stars between our thoughts
She stole my heart
And left with it
She ran fast, never looking back
But she still has my heart
And I’m still empty because of it
So I hope whoever she gives my heart to deserves it
Because she sure as hell doesn’t
society had a party with everyone invited
i arrived only to see everyone ignoring me
a party called life and im dancing alone
she saw me and came over to change my tone
we danced in the corner all night long
hoping nobody would change our song
a poem about my first love

— The End —
