I won't tell you to not be sad
Because someone out there has it worse,
Because often times, there's nothing worse
Than being stuck in your own mind.

We always complain about our lives
The lack of things we've done and seen,
But sometimes we forget to remind ourselves
That we are living someone else's dreams.

Please don't fear my storms,
For they are needed in order to grow
The flowers.

You pulled my walls apart
And brought me out of the dark
You shined light on my heart
Right from the start.

And it's okay, maybe we're both a little broken,
But that's okay,
Because it turns out our broken pieces
Fit together perfectly.

You didn't give me a set of wings,
You simply showed me the beautiful pair
That I had never knew I had.

My life is a never ending desert
And you, you were a beautiful lake
Right in the middle of it

If only you knew how many times
I typed those three little words,
And then deleted them before hitting send

You told me that you loved the rain
I should've known it was a lie
When you realized I am a hurricane
You quickly said goodbye

Being alone
Makes me feel less lonely.

Caught in between not wanting to give up on us
Because everyday could be our last
And
Caught in between wanting to give up
For the exact same reason.

Why do I try so hard
To keep you in my life
When clearly you have no desire
To be in it?

Not even a long walk in the rain
Could  wash away the disgusting feeling
Your touch left behind.

So tell me,
Where are we going this time?
Are we both going to fall?
Be madly in love?
Or are you going to be
Just another person
Passing by
With no intention to stay?

You don't understand,
No one ever understands.

You were a dream come true
To a girl like me.

No one ever stays
Silly me,
Thinking you would
Be an exception

I don't want kisses on the lips.
Kiss my forehead instead.
I don't want movie dates
I want walks in the rain.
I want nights on the couch
Curled up with you.
Reading poetry
And drinking tea.

I would trade in all my years
For just 2 more minutes in your arms.

That sad moment
When a song bird
Loses her voice.

My string snapped
On my guitar today.
I just looked at it
And walked away.

In the end
It didn't matter
How hard I tried,
How much I loved,
Because it's obvious
That we were doomed
Right from the very start

Remember when I said
I was scared you'd get sick of me?
You scoffed and said not possible.
What a fool I was
To believe you.

I wanted it to be you.

And suddenly
I was on the verge of
Breaking down for
No reason
At all.

I thought you were my medicine,
Turns out you were my poison.

And my list of people who have left
Is ever growing.
I never thought I would have to add
Your name onto it
So soon.

Je vous souhaite de beaux rêves et les moyens pour les atteindre

And suddenly it was like
I couldn't Breathe.

We were the perfect couple,
We were like a match.
We burned bright
And strong,
And faded fast.
Nothing but a mere whisper
Of smoke
Left behind.

You wondered if it was because
You weren't enough.
But I wish I could shake your shoulders
And say,
You were more than enough
So full of life.
You were too much for his small mind
To handle.

And then I start to think
Maybe I was made to be
Unlovable.

I think that often times
The most beautiful people
Are the ones who see beauty in
Everything but themselves.

So where are you from?
The teacher asked me,
No greeting,
Nothing.
Just those five words.
As I stared blankly, shocked.
Are you Korean or Japanese?
Do you speak chinese?
You must be really good at math.
It's majority rules not minority rules.
Go back to where you came from.

I am from china.
I do not speak the language.
I ******* **** at math,
I was adopted.
And Im right where I'm supposed
To be.

Why do we expect love to make us whole
When more often than not
It leaves us more broken than before

Everything was black and white,
And then I saw you in colour.

If I ever saw you again
I would say
I'm sorry.
For everything that I've done.
But since I know I won't
I'll just scatter the words
In poems that I know
You'll never read.

Here lies the memory of a girl
Who used to have a heart of gold
Who was filled with warmth and happiness
Until the world went and made her cold.
Here lies the memory of a girl
Who heard music and sang along
But now she lays vacant with tears in her eyes
When she hears that exact same song.
Here lies the memory of a girl
Who wished upon the stars
But instead of counting wishes
She now spends her nights counting her scars.
Here lies the memory of a girl
Who would play in the rain,
And now she spends that time using it
To wash away the pain.
Here lies the memory of a girl  
Who didn't guard her heart
But who now has 6 inch steel walls
To keep it from falling apart.
Here lies the memory of a girl  
Who believed in happy endings
Who's heart is now broken
One she's constantly mending.
Here lies the memory of a girl  
Who is now dead,
Who paints art on her skin with needles
Replaced by the demons in her head.

I want to remind you of the sun,
Its light will come again,
And no matter how dark it seems to get
The darkness always ends.
And I know it may seem impossible
Like it will forever go on
But I'm telling you the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn.

Please take a breath and hear my words
For they were meant for you,
On the cold and bitter days
That you don't think you can get through.
I want to remind you that this life
May be hard but you are strong,
And anyone who says otherwise
Is straight up wrong.
I want to remind you of the sun,
Its light will come again,
And no matter how dark it seems to get
The darkness always ends.
And I know it may seem impossible
Like it will forever go on
But I'm telling you the darkest hour
Is just before the dawn.
Sometimes we fall and need help up
Because we can't do it alone
And if this happens please ask for help
Because I promise you're not on your own.
You've still got mountains to climb
So many things to do and see,
And I promise you it's worth it in the end
I promise you you'll be happy.

You have the power
Of the stars,
Oh hell,
The whole **** universe
Raging inside of you.
And that is how I know
That you will be alright.

You are a drug
I just can't figure out
How to quit.

The harshest words will always be
The ones left
Unspoken

I remember you saying
"Oh I see what game you're playing".
But to me, it was never a game,
But I guess you didn't think the same.

Roses are red, violets are blue,
They say it's addicting now I know that it's true  
But the roses are wilting the flowers are dead  
My hands are shaking and my hips are lined red

Rain is proof that
Sometimes even the strongest things
Need to let things go.

One of the most cruel things
You can do to a person,
Is make them fall
Without meaning to catch them.

She wasn't the kind of person
Who sobbed loudly.
No.
She was the kind of person
Who hid her tears from everyone.
Who cried late at night when
Everyone else was asleep.
Who had to grab her stomach
To hold herself together.
Who silently gasped for air.
Who had no one but the moon
To comfort her

You promised that
When you left you
Wouldn't forget about me,
But darlin did forget
About me
And the saddest part is,
You haven't left yet.
