It’s not black or white
No one will understand
I went through something
I’m still processing
I am sad but I don’t understand why
I am loved and I am in pain
Why can’t they stop hurting me
I’m too young to protect myself
I need to protect them
I need it to stop
Why can’t they see I’m hurt
It’s all a blur
Memories are a blur
The feelings remain
I’m ashamed
I’m angry
I cry for my family
I cry for me

Before you open the bag
you feel the zing
in the back of your throat
under your tongue
Lips puckered
Mouth waters
Eyes squint
Reminds me of
the days when I was so carefree
that a piece of Sour Candy
could pause the world
halt my few childish worries
and bring out the laughter
I so dearly miss today

I finally feel
like I'm me again
I haven't felt this good
Since I don't know when
My heart is not heavy
my mind is not spinning
My soul is uplifted
my life rebeginning
My future looks brighter
The path is made clear
My family is closer
My friends are more dear
I’ve learned many lessons
That got me to this place
But the greatest of all
Is to give myself grace

Brain brain, go away

Don't sabotage another day

I've stumbled much, yet I still try

Please let me live, before I die
My brain is my biggest enemy.

You mimic the Moon
Twelve foreseeable phases
Infinite faces

What if the best poem ever written has never been read
The best soliloquy in history never once said
What if the best song ever played had never been danced to
Simply because we weren't given the chance to
Save every draft and treasure your trash
One day they may be discerned from the ash
You could be the next Emily, I the next Poe
And like most famished artists
we'll never know

I started my journey alone,
into the unknown.
Alone I may be,
but not lonely,
for my dreams are with me,
to keep me company.
I don't know where my destination is
it is the journey, that is my goal.

What do you want me to do, So I can see that smile once more? I’ll shine the stars, I’ll hang the moon, I’ll sweep the ocean floor.

I’ll count each ring in every tree, I’ll bottle up your dreams. Give you a life so full and plenty It’s bursting at the seams.

I’ll chase away the death and grief and sadness that befall, Just to see that smile again? Darling, I’d do it all.

But for now, let us just stay here, Laying side by side. My heart and soul decided, We have nothing left to hide
This is my first poem that I've deemed good enough to even be called a poem. I now realise what was missing from all my poems before was raw emotion, because I wrote this the night after I met the most beautiful boy my world will ever know.
