Love
Is like
A rose
So delicate
So beautiful
But adorned
With sharp
Thorns

Love
Is like
Poison
A poison
That kills you
Slowly
And there is
No antidote

Love
Is like
Glass
Fragile
But its
Shards
Can kill
You
In a brief
Monent...

a shadow

i'm a ghost barely existing present but not really a shadow of a person quiet and discrete not rocking the boat not standing out always avoiding the spotlight a mere afterthought a background character in everyone's stories with no role to play and i like it that way

lull

a stasis love, still. literal and figurative, a concept i have not let go of, can i write love poems for you, still? letting my mouth play waterfall, with the sentiment, the stream. my love, still, you were a green one; a jade in the sea. when i look at you, you are grey, but still bright. beautiful statue, i kneel at your stasis, love, still.

I am not

I’m not your little boy. You’re not my little girl. I’m just someone you met, And wants to change the world I’m not the prince in your dreams I don’t have smarts or might I’m just the one that screams And cries to sleep at night I’m not who you want me to be. I will never be what you are. I’m myself, I am free. I’m not ashamed of my scars I’m not that weak You’re not that strong You still have company But I’m still alone So I speak Though this poem. It’s not a pretty love song I’m just saying what pains me, explaining what’s going on

I Like Being Weird

Whether I’m laughing in awkward situations Or crying when everybody else smiles I go from wanting to stay in bed forever To wanting to run directionless for miles Normality just feels like silent floorboards And is something I most definitely fear See I need to creak every once in a while You won’t understand but I like being weird Talking when everybody else is silent Being deathly quiet in a maelstrom of noise As I decide if I’ll be your friend today But I promise that you are not just a toy Normality just feels like empty nightscapes And is something I most definitely fear I need the stars to spell out my last name Do

Darling, Don't You Dare

To the girl who skips dinner, Because her reflection hurts more than Starving. To the boy who wears sweatshirts On hot summer days, Because he doesn’t want his mother to cry over his Scars. To the boy who weeps uncontrollably Until he falls asleep, Because it’s the only way to escape into his Dreams. To the girl who spends her days in her bedroom, Because the dark is more peaceful than her Mind. To the child who gets angry, Because no one understands. To the teens who self-harm, To the ones in recovery, To the ones that just can’t do it anymore… Stay Strong. For the girl who skips meals And the boy who wears sw

My Beautiful Mess

She smiles like the Cheshire cat Like her problems don't matter Like the stars can speak Like perhaps she can hear them She laughs like she's mad Like every moment is special Like she controls her destiny Like it's her last day on Earth She loves like a child Like she's not sorry for being happy Like her pain is pretend Like there are always second chances

Guilt that eats

Maybe I should have questioned why your teeth always chattered like fingers clicking on a typewriter, and why your fingernails looked as though faint, blue ink had bled through but who questions anything but hair, makeup, and boys at the age of sixteen and maybe I should have noticed the lunches you spent doing homework, or listening to music, as you gave away your lunch, because you said you were not hungry- and I silently thought more for me and maybe I should have wondered why you walked through the hallways with pockets of graphite under your eyes, as your knees knocked together like keys on a lanyard: clink clink clank and maybe t

Introvert

Everyone's trying to get out of the shadow of their parents- I'm here trying to get out of the shadow of myself.

You're Not?

You're anorexic if you're thin You're not? Then you're obese. If you're different, you're insane You're not? Then you're a fake. If you're happy, you're hiding something. You're not? You must be emo. If you're dating, you're a slut. You're not? You must have no friends. If you're popular, you're a jerk. You're not? You're a nobody. If you're quiet, you must be disabled. You're not? You obnoxious freak. If you're you, you're wrong. You're not? Then you must be perfect.

The Cycle

Here I am again, aching. My heart pounds to my ribs, my lungs squeezing, my chest tightening, hoarding my tears. When I couldn't take it anymore, I'll run back to your safety (cause I don't feel safe with me); a safe haven that I know wouldn't last - a comfort and joy that's temporary. When everything starts crashing, I'll run back to myself again - trying to recover, thinking that I'm healing - then the aching begins again. It's a cycle; it keeps on repeating.
