Day Sep 2017
Word go around
so easy to say
actions have been found
to surely display
who we are inside.
after a while
no way to hide

because sorry can be said
but actions can always be read

as easy as sorry is to say,
soon it will be just as easy to walk away
you ask me if im mad? no im not mad. im ******* ******.
Day Aug 2017
Wholeheartly loving someone who only gives partially....
is the worst ******* pain.

insecurity
Day Aug 2017
i am scared with every thing in me
that you will go
and realize how much more there is than me
that you will leave
because i am not enough...
not enough for you
Day Aug 2017
i made no mistake
i made love.
opened my heart
gave a piece up

and in the end

i would not change a thing

Day Aug 2017
when did i get here?
where did i go wrong?
im living in fear
i pray not for long

i have four that i love
each care for me
done looking above
those hurting me

much i have learned
but still more to go
as much i have earned
still so much to know

bad days do outweigh
good days rare to see
need someone to stay
right here next to me

ive built up this wall
surrounding my heart
scared to let it fall
i dont know where to start

but, my mind clears
and my heart keeps beat
and all of those fears
die under my feet

because i am strong
at least, for a day
my heart sings a song
my mind knows im okay

and in this moment,
after i cry.
i am calm.

Aug 2017 · 224
and i cry, for you.
Day Aug 2017
i pushed everything out, to make space
...for you.
because, i thought you deserved more
...than just a piece... of me.
I thought, that you deserved it all.
but now...
you're all that is there
and you want to leave,
...leaving me...
completely
and entirely
.empty.

Travel
Day Jun 2017
If I could go anywhere in the world
I would go back in time to a little girl,
to myself, at 8 years old,
and make the world seem a little less cold.
I would tell her not to cry
keep her chin up and keep her eyes dry.
I would tell her to love her mother
for she loves you like no other
After this I would travel on
to 14 year old me, thought she was gone.
I would tell her, please don't use the blade
for those scars you make, they will not fade.
Please just go and ask for help
i'd scream at her but she wouldn't yelp
for she thought that this would help her then
couldn't see a future where she'd smile again
next i'd go and visit mom
i'd sit with her and keep her calm
Tell her about the pain i hid
I know she really loved her kid
she didn't see how much i hurt
all she saw were angry spurts
now i'm filled with much regret
wish i could just forget
but adversely we can't go back
as much as i wanted that
moving forward, it will not stop
we just keep on going until we drop
i try to think now what would i say
if future me, came to me today
what would she tell me?
what does she know?
i guess that i will see
when i get there, you know?

Chapters
Day Jun 2017
I am always angry at people who skip to the end of books,
I question why the hell would you want to know?
Is not the point of the book to go from front to back?
But now, i find myself in life, wishing to skip forward
to a time of stability and safety
hoping that in the end it just all works out
but, the pages of life are not easily turned
and many are hard to read
but the point is not to skip to the end
but to enjoy every chapter.

but it's summer
Day Jun 2017
i wish, someone would notice,
that the depression came back
long ago
sometimes i just have a thousand million feelings inside me all just floating around aimlessly, surfacing at the worst of times. times that dont even make sense. and its really killing me. i dont know how to handle it. instead i just push it down, and down and down. here, on hello poetry is one of the only places that i allow it to fully come to the top and bare its ugly face. im tired of just dealing with this thing. .this thing inside. i look at other people and i dont understand how they appear so happy. it looks so easy to get, so simple to achieve, and yet i sit here wishing and wishing for it and still nothing. just a mixing *** of confusing pain inside. and i just wish someone would see it, i wish someone could help. but i know that even if someone did bring it up that i would brush it off, not that they can help me anyways. im handling it. right?

Day Jun 2017
i won't do coke no more baby,
i didn't understand
i thought it would help me maybe
tried to steady my hand

but those little lines of white
are nothing compared
to the little love bites
that i've now bared

i never really understood
that you had such real concern
i said, didn't matter and still would
but now slowly i learn

that its so not ******* worth it
to lose who i love
no line, shot or hit
could ever come above

someone
who
really
matters.
signed,
i wont be that girl.

patience
Day Jun 2017
it's hard, you see,
to wait, for you and me.
yeah, we're young
and this is fun
but patience..
god, i have none.
i don't comprehend
anything except "now"
and its sad how
impatient i can be
one day alone
by myself at home
and suddenly
my head wont shut the **** up
thoughts drifting
to years i await
married, content
makes me hate
just sitting
and thinking
for as i said,
patience?
what is that?
unedited, simply just my brain flowing

who we are
Day May 2017
if you were a poem,
you would be a poem about a plane
grounded,,
wanting to be in the sky,
wishing, waiting, willing
knowing
that someday you'll be flying high

and if I were a poem
i would be a poem about a bird
drifting,,
dreaming of the land
wishing, waiting, willing
wary
and unsure of where I stand

but you are not a poem
and to be honest, neither am I
for I am just a poet
but someday

we will fly**

((and even though, we are not the same
my emotions drift like sand
i find my peace close to you
my heart safe within your hand))

*****Warning*****
Day May 2017
A flash flood warning is enabled from now until forver,
for a poets thoughts are held behind a waning dam,
and emotions may spill out and overflow at anytime
pulling any(and every)one into a current of ink.
sirens of "I tried to let you let know" blare in the distance
but you never know until you're too close, and too late.

a poets touch
Day Apr 2017
harsh a poets hands to write such anger,
how soft to feel such love,
the fingertips flow and move
assist the mind above.
the palms tender and smooth,
the bones bitter and tough
lift the hand up to the tongue,
the taste of ink and sweat.
rest a moment weary hands,
let the feelings set.
tools in such a weary work
needed just as much,
thank you hands for moving so,
create nothing from the dust.
i like this, thank you for the inspiration
Day Apr 2017
Sometimes things are better left unread,
Many words left  unsaid
Things mixed up inside my head
Now....I wonder.
Now....I fear.
Close my eyes...are you still here?

questions of a lonely heart
Day Apr 2017
Do I say I love you, ...
to hear it back?
Day Apr 2017
I once had a mother, who gave me away
Though time gone, never forgot her name
Years pass, thoughts of her the same
As a child, a game I would play
Maybe this time she'll come back and stay
Eventually, my heart took the blame
"Whose fault" now is the game
As I look back from then to this day
Who hurt me the most, that I could not recover?
What set off this bomb in my heart?
Why couldn't I land on my feet?
She gave up her role as my mother...
Tearing my soul apart
Wondering if I'm worth it to keep.
Playing with new concepts and rhyme scheme
Day Apr 2017
First March madness,
next April sadness,
then May gladness
and Junes spectacular grandness

my all
Day Apr 2017
In the secret place lost and so high
is where I abide,
to clear my eyes
more and more I long
to be by your side
it's where I hide.
in your arms, i cried

I desire you,
with all I do
my thoughts stay on you
I give my heart to you
forever
Day Mar 2017
Holding him, his sobs echoing into my chest,
My tears paused for a moment to rest
Salt and water showed so much love
Something I didn't know he was capable of.
Such a small time frame and it all changed
So real and warm and unexpectedly strange
I'd never seen a man burst into tears
Releasing all of his emotions and fears
Pulled back his face, blaringly red
And I will never ever forget what he said
"I'm sorry", and with that I just tore
I knew I had made his heart heavy and sore
"Baby, no it'll all be okay"
All that I could manage to say
Wiped off his cheeks but the pain still came
His face was dry but his eyes not the same
Pulled him close and held him tight
All of my emotions tried not to fight
But in the moment all I could feel
Was his pain, so open and loud and real.
For Luis.

twin flame
Day Feb 2017
something deeper then a soul mate,
because while a soulmate kindles your inner fire
a twin flame parallels the heat of your soul
a soulmate works to keep your heart
while a twin flame already holds the other half
soulmates are all around you, in friend and love
but a twin flame
comes only once
just an idea im playing around with, love this theory

dreaming to touch the stars
Day Feb 2017
i am lying in the center of the universe, far as the eye can see
every planet, star, constellation all lying in the center of me

my breath ,moon dust, swirling in the oxygen i consume
,even filled with all of existence i will still make room

my heart overfills and spills the light of all the stars
yet, his space compares to that between the earth and mars

i never believed in heaven, but maybe a  celestial place
till a star fell from the sky and i looked upon his face

him and i, are nothing special, nor above the rest
but somehow the universe lies between his and my chest

we are lying in the center of the universe, far as the eye can see
every planet, star, constellation all lying at the center of him and me
thanks for all the love guys

home at 2 a.m., falling over the fence
god, sometimes I'm ******* dense
forgetting to lock the back door
stumble downstairs, clothes on the floor
respond to a text, not sure what I said
black out, or maybe i'm dead
4 hours later, an alarm wakes me
taste of ***** in my mouth,get up to ***
strip down, need a shower
god, i have school in an hour
fade in and out, still not here
living trying to escape a fear*
"Who the hell have I become?''
do you ever feel like a failure?

We get the blame, we get the trouble now
They got a pill it's just fine to forget it all
take all the pain away
A-ha, would I be myself if I did?
Not at all mine, from a song I heard that I just really identify with.

Carnival
Day Feb 2017
have you ever walked down a hallway,
every one of your flaws exposed,
twisted and distorted screaming for your attention
your insecurities protruding out of your side
the skin you wear bent and bruised
the worst moment is the realization
its 3 a.m.
and you're staring at the bathroom mirror

,but a red paper cutout can never replace the hole you left in my chest.*
*the smell of clearance candy can never mask the smoke you left behind
Day Feb 2017
if you pause for a moment
to look around
really, really look
and truly see
all the beauty
in the chaos
then suddenly
you may catch a glimpse
a slight twinge
in your soul
whispering how
absolutely necessary
your existence is
to the universe
the fabric that knits you together
flows through
each and every
spirit that passes
every single day

Day Feb 2017
I searched for a better world, desperately trying to find something more.
I found someone who instead ... gave me new eyes.
Someone who taught me not to squint when the sun emerged from behind the clouds.
A soul who opened my ears to hear the music this world sang to us.  
Slowly he taught me to stop searching for a better world, but to see the good in this one.

love words
Day Jan 2017
its frightening to love so much it hurts,
as if your heart is throwing a warning
DANGER:PROCEED WITH CAUTION
but with that pain comes so much more
so you overlook the danger and jump right in
hoping you land just right, into waves inviting
because you see too many lost
hit the rocks, the shallows or taken under
adrenaline overwhelms you though, pushing you over
all of a sudden you're flying
and in that moment
you don't to stop to think
*what if we don't make it?
