He calls himself bleeding diamonds
But truth is,
He bleeds more than diamonds.
He bled through abuse.
He bled through igonorance.
Through pain.
I just met him a week ago.
He was one of my first favorites when i began here on hello poetry.
I asked a question
why does bleeding diamonds bleed
And
I found out.
See his poetry shows his life.
His loneliness some days.
His passion for abuse to end
I dont think enough people take his seriously.

Though only 15,
Zach has saved many people, i believe
He saved me.
And he told me hes proud of me?
I feel he is more than a poet.
A local legend.
And here,
This is where we tell him
What he means to us.
B.d is going through hard times.
And we need to be here for him,
Just as he would be
and has been
For us.

No ones on this site anymore

I need to get out of this bed
This room
This house
This town
This state
My own mind

Let me tell you a few things about me.
I used to be the insecure one
Felt ugly and worthless
That I am not of this world
Have brains no looks
Didn't put effort in designer clothes

People would tell me that I'm beautiful
I'd smile and say to myself they just try to make me feel better
I doubt the mirror too
Being picked on by bigger kids ruined my self-esteem

Then I started reading books. Taking pictures
"Dressing up" still felt ugly
Boys would come and ask me out
I felt they made bets with their friends

Now I am not afraid anymore
I have decided to embrace my uniqueness
I dress up and attend self discovery  events
I feel beautiful haha I am beautiful
Always have been

I am not afraid anymore

I walk confidently
The ground is made of gold
I am an enchantress

These thoughts run around
But my soul just wants escape
An escape through sleep.

He had blue skin
And so did she
She kept it hid
And so did he
They searched for blue
There whole life through
Then passed right by
And never knew

Crave it. Crave life. Desire things that aren't material. Learn to grip every little thing and never let the feeling of being blown away by this earth leave your fingertips. Try new foods from different places and cultures. Don't shut your mind off to things that are not what you deem 'normal'. Open your heart to people and do not let yourself walk away from loving and being loved. Quit allowing your fear of getting hurt overcome your need of intimacy. Stop shying away from being vulnerable. Allow yourself to feel every emotion there is to feel. Don't fret when you start to feel a little insane. Don't worry when your throat swells up and tears form around the brim of your eyes. Be angry, happy, silly, sad, and wild. When people tell you that you're being too much, laugh.  Live your life empty of fear for tomorrow or regret from yesterday. Kiss lots of boys, walk long miles, swim in foreign waters, create new things, write. Love this life and yourself.
