I live in a world,
where being alone in public is a fear,
I love to be alone
But, at school, without a friend
It’s basically a warzone,
Without a weapon, without a shield
And i hope you feel better
Cause no one else was here
And i’m so sorry
For doing the same to you…
But if you can,
Please come back,
I know its hard, but im all alone
One friend sick,
Another missing,
One at therapy,
And one gone to her home for school,
I guess today, i’ll be brave
Cause i'm alone, and it’s a sunny day

A face long gone,
A lover never known,
A place forgotten,
All because,
I’m alone…

Rain is falling,
The sun shining,
Moods changing,
My worlds’ falling,
I will hang on,
Even though it’s hard,
I need the pain
To know that It’s reality,
And not a dream…

Why did you leave?,
I needed you here,
But It’s okay,
You have your own fears,
I have to fight, to stay awake,
But with you gone,
It all seems to fade...

When you open your eyes,
Heavy from  sleep,
Your body trying to keep your mind out of reality,
And make it stay in your dream,
And no matter how hard you try,
You just can’t remember,
And yet the emotion lingers,
Leaving you nostalgic,
And feeling like you just left,
The most real and authentic moment of your life.
Well I have a secret,
Those nights when your mind wanders,
You are connected,
To that one person
The soulmate you haven't met,
That is why,
When you meet them,
It’s like you've known them all your life…
Some ideas, you just have to hold onto, for fear you'd fall apart without them. This is one of those ideas for me

Syzygy
Alignment of three celestial bodies,
My mind
My body
My soul
I await the day
When I am all I'm meant to be,
I await the day that
I become a force to be reckoned with,
I await my Syzygy.

I may be silent
I may be an introvert
I may be that silent kid in the back
And I know sometimes my thoughts are violent
But my soul will be deafening

Yes,
I guess sometimes
I would rather be in a book than reality
But if we could talk you’ll see
That I am really not that bad

And I might not always express it
But my feelings are sometimes suffocating me
And I can’t always tell you
I will try,
maybe not in the ways you know
But hopefully you’ll pick up
on my thoughts

I sit and I listen
As a wallflower; I know the secrets
That are not always audible…

The secret of the wallflower
I may be silent
I may be an introvert
I may be that silent kid in the back
And I know sometimes my thoughts are violent
But my soul will be deafening

Yes,
I guess sometimes
I would rather be in a book than reality
But if we could talk you’ll see
That I am really not that bad

And I might not always express it
But my feelings are sometimes suffocating me

But hopefully you’ll pick up

As a wallflower; I know the secrets

Be yourself
There is no one else
Be who you are
and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind
And I don’t mind

I guess I Shouldn’t
cry because it's over,
But  smile because it happened
It might overcome the sadness,
But i never quite escape the nostalgia…

How do you live,
With these broken memories in your head,
And happy feelings in your heart?

No one ever listens
How do I move on with the weight of my past on my back,
The comfort so welcoming
I always cry
Over the things that don’t matter

Hiding the hurt,
hiding the pain,

Hiding the tears that fell like rain…
So long ago, and yet,
Time is weird in my head
Nostalgic feelings

I AM NOT DEEP.

I just think alot
I'm not weak
I just feel alot
I'm not probing
I just see alot

they whisper
oohh "she so deep"
I ain't loud
I just make words
echo when I speak

I am not
deep,
simply because
I utilize
my mind
to think!

Nothing more
far from less
than just another
intellectual
poetry freak
