Hope

Better to not have hope
than to let
life destroy you
Piece by piece

I miss those days
when you loved me
Unconditionally
When you stood
against the world
made sure I was safe
Loved and protected

Now you’re busy
No longer have time for me
So foolish of me
to think that
Love carves a path
through schedules
Just because mine did

I hate that my brother and I have drifted apart as we’ve grown older.

ac

convenient

realizing that i'm not the kind of person
that has people,
i'm the person that people have.
i'm not meant to be loved,
im meant to love.
i'm not meant to be supported,
im meant to be supportive.
Im not meant to be anything more
than the person who's there
when other people need them.
i'm the person who people only reach out to when they need someone
I'm convenient.

Feel

Some days it’s a blessing
Some days it’s a curse
To be able to feel so deeply
To not know where I end
And someone else begins

Sad

I like being sad
For it is the only emotion I feel
It engulfs me in its arms
Making me feel safe and protected

Sadness means not having to be scared
About things going bad
Because I know they will
And knowing makes me feel brave

Sadness helps me churn out poems
Inspires me to make some art
It’s what I take comfort in
For it never really leaves me alone

Heart

My heart, it bled
in unknown colors
Always did overflow
for both friend and foe

I no longer wear it on my sleeve
It is hidden where it can’t been seen
Buried so deep
I no longer feel its presence
Except for when tears stream down my face
