Poetry

Toss me a smile,
Make me laugh for awhile
Hug me tight,
Make the sadness alright
Laugh with me,
Be my company
Hold my hand,
Be my best friend
Watch the sky and count the clouds
Sit and be with me, without a sound
Let's close our eyes and drift away
And seek tomorrow's yesterday.

Poetry

Go ahead and cut me loose
Shoot the gun and tie the noose
Just like everybody else
Who doesn't want me to be myself
You like the sugar, you like the sweet,
But never accept the bitter treat,
The bite I give when I am mad,
The tears I cry when I am sad.
I take in yours, and heal your pain,
While every day, mine stays the same
If you can't take it, sorry, bye
Don't waste your time, I won't waste mine
Go on out, just walk away,
But you won't be coming back to stay
Apologies fall hard and dry,
Actions must speak, not words this time
But since life is your grand masquerade,
To leave it, I won't be ashamed
I live my life behind my own mask,
To wear the one of another is not my task
So have fun in your parade of fears,
I hope you hold on for many years
May fate never change your heart again
Now goodbye for good, my dearest friend.

Poetry

7 days, I'll count them down,
To keep myself amused,
6 more nights that I will wait,
As you begin to get confused.
5 more to go,
Now don't lose hope,
4 days left,
Just learn to cope,
3 more sets of 24,
I'll see you there behind the door,
2 to go, the nerves set in,
1 night left, let the countdown begin.

Poetry

I don't expect you to love me
But I don't want to be hated without reason
I understand you aren't happy about this,
But that's no reason to backstab and commit treason.
I get that you think I will take your place,
But I'm not here for that, and this life's not a race
I get that you've known him for longer than I
But I'm not that crazy, and my standards aren't high
I don't want your friendship to fall apart,
It's not like I went and stole his heart,
I can't help his choices, if he talks to me more
If I'm friends with your friend, it doesn't make me a whore
If jealousy's the reason for your acting like this,
I think your heart did the aiming, but your brain made a miss.

Poetry

I'm not the type to fuss all over my looks,
I don't care if my hair is messy,
I'm really not one to wear skirts ever day,
I'd rather wear jeans, or something less dressy.

I don't take ballet and I really don't want to,
Being a lady doesn't appeal whatsoever,
No stereotypical barbie dolls here,
Give up fighting and karate? Never.

I don't really care what others think of me,
As long as I stay true to myself,
I'll be who I want to be, within the boundaries,
Safely and without damaging my health

So before you tell me to change who I am,
Or to be more ladylike and modest,
Remember it's my life and I'll do as I please,
And even if you don't like what I say, I'll be honest. 

Poetry

I don't know how much more clear I can make it,
If you don't want me here then I'll go,
But don't ignore me and leave me unsure,
If you find me annoying, just say so.

But don't give me shit every single day
And complain when your relationship doesn't work your way,
Don't use me as a punching bag for all your problems,
I have enough to deal with without your offense,

I don't shove my opinions at you,
And I try not to drag you down,
But apparently all I do is push you under,
So now I'll let you drown.

Don't come back to me,
When she leaves you for someone better
Don't come to me because apparently
All I can do is bring bad weather.

Poetry

Easily replaceable
I really don't mean too much
I'll help you and stand with you through thick and thin
Only to be replaced as such
Use me up for problems,
Like a sponge, I'll suck away your pain
When I get full, simply pass me on,
With each new owner, another stain
3-4 years, that's all I last
Before a new me has come to pass
Then discard me like nothing,
Forget I exist,
But I still feel the sting
And the memories persist
I give thanks to the one who has stood by my side
Who has saved me from many, protected my pride,
But to those who throw me away
And treat me like nothing
Just remember I was there for you,
Tried to make you feel like something
The next time you need me,
I perhaps won't be there
Because I've learned my lesson now
And I've no more tears to spare.

Poetry

Toxic

You won't change anybody's mind
Until you change your own
If you really want to try,
The way is clearly shown
Marked out in red from lies
With blue from all the deceit
Beige to cover bruises
And green with envy from defeat
So don't give me forced opinions
And unplanned thoughts spawned by hate
Don't bite off more than you can chew,
Don't overload your plate
You will not change my thoughts
You will not change my mind
So please get off my back and stop
I'm trying to be kind
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
This nonsense has to stop
Stop trying to annoy me
Or our friendship I will drop.

Poetry

One Percent

One percent a day

It's not too much to ask

Just give a tiny little piece,

It's not an overwhelming task

Improve a little bit

Each and every day

And soon you'll find that change is good,

And life will bend your way

It doesn't have to be big

In fact, it's better small

Because if you overload your mind,

It will shatter, break and fall.

Poetry

Sickness

I'm so sick
So tired
My head is going to explode
I want to sleep
Or just collapse
But I keep walking down this road
My eyes are blurred
My legs are weak
I can no longer stand
Please stop
Please stop
Give me a lending hand
It wants to break 
It wants to hurt
I refuse to let it slow me
I will go on
I will stand strong
And be the best that I can be.

Poetry

Done

I'm done with the yelling

I'm done with the pain

Done with the tears that are masked by the rain

Done with the torment

And done with the strife

Do you know how hard it is to keep living life?

When you've lost all that matters

And nobody cares,

When all that remains are the voices downstairs

When you try to fix things,

But just break them more,

When every falling blow hurts you deep to the core

When the last breath is taken 

And the last teardrop falls,

I hope you'll remember the time you never answered my calls

Because I'm done with all feeling

I'm done with remorse,

You need to be taken down a peg, knocked off of your horse

You need to stop barking

Without any bite,

Stop hiding in shadows, come stand in the light
Be done with the attitude,

Done with the grudge,

Forgive us for once, stop playing the judge

Not all is righteous

And not all is fair

But the least you can do

Is show that you care.

Poetry

Clarity

Talk to me
Unlock me
And help me solve my pain
Help me out
And guide me,
Be the lighthouse in the rain
The ship was wrecked
And left for abandon, 
But you tried to help anyway,
I like the fact
That you don't care
What anyone else will say.
This is how it should be,
For everyone, not just me,
Everyone should have someone to relate to,
Especially in their family.

Poetry

I Don't Know

You know that things are sad
When you sit at home all day
You know that things have gone all wrong
When your emotions get all the say
You know that something's missing
When you've got nothing else to do
But sit alone on a worthless machine
With your mind spinning out, untrue
Nothing can bring back the time that you've spent
Nothing can erase the blank space
So don't just be nothing, don't waste all your time
Give your long-lost emotions a face

Poetry

Can't Let Go

Can't let go...

Can't be free

Can't seem to let you go

Because I'll lose a piece of me,

Don't want to stick around

I want to say goodbye

But I can't seem to let you go...

Can't let you spread your wings and fly

Because if you fly,

Then I will fall

You are the fortress I run to,

You are my wall

So please stay

Even though it hurts

Please stay

Even if we're at the worst.

Poetry

Nature

Look all around you,
And what do you see?
The clouds in the sky,
The leaves on the trees
The snow as it melts
Leaving puddles all round,
The birds as they chirp,
with their synchronized sound,
The sun in the sky,
As it shines bright each day,
All the fluffy white clouds,
Each formed in their own way,
The breeze in the air,
And the smile on your face,
The beauty of nature,
Has fixed it in place.

Poetry

A Lack Of Inspiration

I have no words to write,
I feel I've nothing left to say
And while I know that's not the case,
I'll type it anyway.

While I have many thoughts,
They're caught up in my mind,
They won't come out on paper,
As they're very hard to find.

I have so much to say,
But I can't seem to express it,
So it stays bottled up inside,
The only way to compress it.

I want to set my mind loose,
Let all my thoughts run free,
Maybe if I did so,
All my darker thoughts would flee.

But since I can't let go,
And the torment never seems to pause,
I'll keep my thoughts locked up inside,
With no reason, and no cause.

Poetry

Happy April Fools' Day :3
