Poetry

Someday, someone will hug you
And I swear you'll be complete
It'll put you back together,
Pull you out of your retreat

They'll wrap themselves around you
As you look into their eyes
And that is all that it will take
For you to realize

That the thing that you'd been missing
As you roamed around the land
Was a hug you could hold on to
Or a hand that you could grab.

Poetry

Pressure me, 
Pressure me
I'm never enough,
You see

Make me work
Break my back
God forbid 
I ever slack

I don't meet
Your expectations
But yet I'm supposed
To create a generation

Not good enough
Not good enough
You say it's easy,
But it's tough

You do not see
Inside my mind
If you could,
What would you find?

Would it make you run away?
What more would be left to say?
Because you never got your way?
"You're just a child, no work, all play"

Do not tell me who to be
You do not see
What I can see
And I'm going to be me...

Please be silent,
Hear my plea.

Poetry

Why must you judge me

For my one mistake?

Claim to be my friend,

But turns out you're a fake

How do you know

Who I am behind the screen?

You've never met me

You don't know what I mean

I was wrongly influenced

I should have been stronger

Following this person,

I couldn't have been wronger

It wasn't my choice

I'm not that way

I open my mouth,

But have nothing to say

You should know this

If you know me so well

But you don't,

Because to you, nothing I tell

If you can talk behind my back

Then you aren't any good

You swear you would not

But I know you would.

Poetry

I fell for the demon
I fell for the charm she cast
I fell for a liar
Who could never understand my past

She broke me down
Til all was gone
I asked only for understanding
But she had none.

A crack in the vase
Slowly appearing
Breaking apart,
I'm finally done endearing

I let the vase fall
For I no longer care
It couldn't be fixed,
Love was no longer there

You've just come to burden me
To weigh me down deep
I told you everything,
But my secrets you won't keep

So I'm letting you go
Go on, fly away free
And please don't come crawling back
Crying to me.

Poetry

Break me
You lost me
Oopsy
Daisy

Try to get me back now
But I won't turn my back now
Too many stabs
And wounds were made

Off guard
Off guard
I fell hard
Onto the shard

That had shattered
From your heart
Compulsively beating too hard

For something that promised you nothing
You fell for you thought it was something
But now you came back... without the dumb ring

So glad you chose to rise up
Take back your glasses
Your voice,
And stand up

Not blinded
Not blinded
Anymore.

Poetry

RIP 
To who I used to be
Cover the grave
No more to see

No more sadness 
Or floods of tears
Tired of wasting 
Away my years

So close the casket
Lie me down
My other self
Won't make a sound

No more to say 
To those who hate
To those who hurt,
Judge and berate

Smile on my face
As I live again
I've just decided
You're a true friend.

Poetry

Hey, give me a break

Life's a little bit give and take

Trying to do my best

And move along with the rest

Overcome my mind

So I can see what I'll find

Smiling every day

Happy in each and every way

God I'm so glad

I made the change

Because prior to my realization

God my life was strange

Sad every day

Without a reason why

Depressed in my head

But no tears left to cry

Now it's joy everyday

I like it better this way

Wash away the rain

Wash away the pain.

Poetry

I think I've made you strong enough
To carry on alone
I hope so, because I need to leave
Another path is clearly shown

There was once a time
I thought I actually knew you
But baby, upset you once
And I could see right through you

Listen, listen
When people are mad
The truth comes out,
And the deception was sad

So I'm backing away slowly
To save my own mind
I wish you wouldn't....
Have acted so kind.

Poetry

Freeze, put your hands up
You've been finally caught
Hand in the cookie jar,
Not doing what you ought.

Or maybe you don't realize
Why I'm backing away
Well let's just say I saw you
For what you really were today.

Manipulative; that's all you are
You're chasing after a fallen star

It won't end well
When you collide
When truth and lies 
Coincide

Have fun with that
Go chase your dreams
Leave behind you
Echoing screams

From the games you play
With things you say
Cutting in ways
That hurt for days

Un-necessary fights
Punching out lights
Blinded sights 
And crying nights

No more.

Poetry

What is a poem
But a collection of thoughts
Arranged into a paragraph?

Sometimes I ask myself
Why I even write
But it gives me clarity
When I go to sleep at night

What is a poem
But a collections of hopes and dreams
Arranged into a paragraph?

And sometimes I think to myself
Why do you even try?
But I try because I love it
Though I'm not sure why

What is a poem
But sadness and tears
Arranged into a paragraph?

It helps to calm me
Make me happy
Take stress away
And allows me to see...

That's why I write
Poetry.

Poetry

Strong enough
To do anything
But not strong enough
To throw out this ring

Keep it by my side
Though it kills me inside
Would it damage my pride? 
What's there left to hide

I know there's no hope
That I'll wear it again
Yet I hold it tight to me
Like it's my dearest friend

I can't let go
And I don't know why
You were never the cause
Of the tears I would cry

Pain and destruction
Are part of the price
When trying to create
Something just as nice

But you blew everything up
Even the dust blew away
And I think I lost me
On that eventful day.

Poetry

Funny how
A day can change
I guess it's proof
That life is strange

Just a change
Of perspective
Change your mind
Be reflective

Notice how
One simple thought
Can make you see
Things as you ought

Smile, smile
The sun is shining
The day is bright
There shouldn't be whining

Cheer up,
You're here
You exist
The future is near

Older every second
But young at heart
Knowing this
Is a great way to start

Don't cease to smile
But it's ok to cry
Just don't let stupid things
Be the reason why.

Poetry

Mistakes, mistakes
Don't believe the devil's lie
That addiction is the cause
Of all the tears I cry

Poison, poison
Yes child, you won't remember
Your mind will become numb...
And all your thoughts, it will render

Forget, forget
You say that's all you truly need
But it will destroy you, and your denial
You know, yet still proceed

Don't... please don't
I've seen my angel fall...
You aren't quite at the cliff yet;
In fact, you're still clawing at the wall

Please don't try to drown yourself
In selfish, childish ways
You say that it will save you
But with death, there are no delays

Perhaps it will prolong your life
Keep you away from the glaring knife
But darling, life waits for no one
By doing this, you speed it up some

It's a precious gift
Don't toss it away
But then again
Who am I to say

Do what you want
I guess it's your choice
But don't try to silence me
It's my damned voice

I disagree
She was set free
I witnessed that
That's enough for me

Not again
I won't take it
Not again...
And please don't fake it

I think I'll leave
Because how you perceive
Is so far gone...
I think I was wrong.

Poetry

Everyone has a history

Everyone has a past

And you can try to forget

But people make it last

They never seem to stop

And think about how it may hurt

When your whole life has been hard

And your name is now dragged through the dirt

Yes, maybe he messed up

But right now it means nothing to me

He hasn't done anything wrong to show that

And he's my friend, or can't you see?

Relax why don't you

Take a chill pill and see things like I do

The reason you don't and the reason you won't

Is because he messed up with YOU.

Poetry

You're lost in your lies
Becoming what you despise
Time took its toll
And you sold your soul
Always hated fake girls
But now acting like them is your world
So hypocritical
Your thinking is so cynical
When being fake
Is also your mistake
What happened to you
I don't want to think your words are true
So different from who I used to know
Are these your true colors, starting to show?
I guess I didn't see you
For who you were.

Poetry

Why do I feel so different
So disconnected from you?
We used to be so close...
But now, I wonder if it was true

Now our bond seems broken
Like the strings that bound us snapped
And released us to independence
Where we quickly became trapped

Lost without each other
We must find a way back
To whatever it was we had
That kept us both on track

But I don't think that's possible
I think it's really gone
It's funny how it faded
When it used to be so strong.

Poetry

Lost in solitude
Searching for a friend
Sometimes she wishes
The nightmares would end

She stagger on through
Looking for dreams
Seeing that everything
Is not as it seems

Trusting no one
Fearful of lies
Yet she lives one
Masking the tears she cries

Daggers left deep wounds
When stabbed in her back
Infection crept in
And turned her heart black

She didn't know who 
Would leave or stay
And so she pushed
Them all away.

Poetry

Standing together,
United forever
Abandoned and alone
Together they found home

Misused and abused
Their minds are confused
But even in this confusion
They see through the illusion

Fake friends who lie
And cause the tears they cry
Boys who manipulate 
Is why one contemplates

They can't lose each other
Or find another
The connection is there
Past life's blinding glare

Searching for meaning
They feel like they're dreaming
No answers are found
On Earth's shallow ground

The pain that they feel
Both try to conceal
They smile through their tears
Throughout all of their years

But look into their eyes
You may be surprised
The sadness you find
Hides deep in their mind

But two broken souls
With little goals
May be the glue
They need to pull through

And two broken hearts
That need new starts
May beat again
Through a friend.

Poetry

You can't change memories
You can't change the past
But you can alter your future
And make happiness last

You're slowly growing up
And the years go by fast
You're breaking apart...
Please make happiness last

I know times get rough
And you sometimes feel blue
But please just remember
That happiness is true

Things will get better
Just wait and see
And as it heals you,
It will also heal me

Happiness can fix it
If we only try
Happiness is here, now
Please don't cry.

Poetry

Biting my tongue
Because I can't bare to talk
Sitting in corners
Because I don't want to walk

Shaking from fear
Hiding behind walls
Sitting alone
In bathroom stalls

Tears rolling down,
Mind shattered to bits
Inside of her mind
This little child sits

Not wanting to speak
Not wanting to interact
Simply for the sake
Of keeping her mental state intact

Anxiety taking over
Possessing her mind
Keeping her from the life
That she wants to find.
