Never me
D Mar 2014
You cant blame me*
For being nice..

Whenever I would do anything nice
For anyone else,
It would always get thrown
Back in my face,
But for the first time
I decided to do
Something nice for you,
You said Thanks

I liked it.

So I did it again,
And again, and again,
Until your very definition of me
Was Nice
I thought being nice
Was the best it could get
It was wonderful and perfect
Until I heard you say something else

Pretty

But you never called me pretty
*Never me..

Six feet

It's far too bright, too loud
I need to sleep somewhere without a sound
Close my eyes, just block it out
I need to sleep six feet underground

Not Important Enough
D Mar 2014
I don't think people
Really understand
How close I am
To committing
And I know this because
No one has ever
Taken the time
To listen

It's Pathetic
D Mar 2014
It's pathetic
How addicted
I am to you
You could hurt me
As many times as there are stars
And I will always forgive you
I will always come back

It's pathetic
How completely
I let myself
Become so used
To having you around
When all the while
You've been giving me signs
That you're leaving soon

It's pathetic
How in just
Half a year
I believed for the first time
Forever might actually exist

It's pathetic
How in order
For me to exist
I need to love you
But don't worry about that
I know how to love
From a distance

A Letter
D Mar 2014
I wrote you a letter in our English class
I wrote it without hope that it'll make us last
I wrote it knowing you've made up your mind
I wrote it with a plea to save our time
I forgot half of what I wrote, but I remember I cheese-ly quoted "If you love something, let it go, right?" That's what I'm doing, I'm letting go of my first love, because it's quite obvious he isn't happy being with me anymore. Now I'm just waiting for the inevitable.

No Clue Blues
D Mar 2014
You're a master at breaking down walls
And building people up
Until they finally start to believe
They're worth something after all

You're a true scholar for finding all my flaws
And nurturing them with love
Turning them into something beautiful
And never once causing harm

You're an artist of the mind,
Bending and twisting it to your design
So no one will ever be able to steal whats yours.

I was nothing but the easiest of challenges
Hardly a challenge at all
You broke your own record time
Trying to get to my heart
You even had me figured out
Before I knew for myself
You shaped my every thought
To revolve around you
And the worst part?
You have no clue
What you've done to me,
No clue what this will continue to do
Happy six months to us.. It's too bad this is happening now.

But I Could Do It
D Mar 2014
I don't think I'd ever do it
But lately, with you, I might
Which is a lot more than ever before,
When I still thought it wasn't right..

I don't think I'd ever do it
But right now, I kind of want to let it in
Feel the pressure of something else,
Something not you, pressing against my skin..

I don't think I'd ever do it
But the opportunity to do so is in my reach
It's a just step to the right, an open drawer away
To finally find some release..

I don't think I'd ever do it
But lately, with you, I might
I've thought about doing it before too,
Maybe just once or twice..



I don't believe I'd ever do it
Because I don't want you to know
I can't let you see this side of my mind
*The one I'm too afraid to show..
This could be taken in two ways it seems..

Until I Met You

.
D Mar 2014
.
My mind is weary,
My body sort of aches,
I want to ask you for comfort,
But too afraid of the stakes
We haven't had a conversation
In a couple days,
Not a real one at least,
So I haven't been able to say,
That there's something not quite right,
With the way that we are,
You're acting like me,
I mean the way that I was,
You ignore me online,
And avoid me in the halls,
I don't mean to be rude,
But what the **** do you want?
All this backwards **** is crazy,
Are you doing it in spite?
I thought you were happy,
When you left my house that night
and it wasn't even that long ago,
Your mood swings are sever,
I don't get where it came from,
Or why I'm even still here..
These feelings are false, don't pay any attention to them..

1 out of 5 times
D Mar 2014
How can I stress this enough...

6 ******* MONTHS

And I still have trouble speaking to you?!

AM I ******* 12?!

I'm so horrified with myself!

Why you're still with me is beyond my comprehension

When 1 out of 5 times we're together, all we feel is tension

Is this normal?

I ******* hope so,

At least then we know we're not the only ones dealing with the stress of falling in love with the one person who is exactly like us..

Running to or from life?
D Mar 2014
I needed an outlet for all these emotions
And the world gave me poetry
It lets me express myself to the best of all my abilities
Which isn't a lot, but this is what I've got
So I'll find a way to work through it,
If it's on my own or with other poets,
I don't know, But I don't have to know yet
Because there's still a lot of my life left
And I have to go live it, else what is life for?
Too many questions, throw on my boots and I'm out the door.

Probably all in my own head
D Mar 2014
I'm cold
But you're heart has grown colder
And I don't want to believe this is over
So I wont
But you don't make it easy for me
I've been trying harder than you know,
But you haven't even took notice to all my effort
Your mind is lost in its own world
Your eyes don't see my crying every time you leave
Your ears don't hear me screaming "I'm trying, God, please!"
But it seems nothing I do is getting through to you
Even though this is everything you said you wanted me to do
I just can't think anymore, not now
I'm going to lay my head down,
Look up at the full moon you take such a delight in
Close my eyes
And pretend everything is okay
I over think things, forget it.

Black liner smudged
D Mar 2014
I have a tendency to apply my makeup far too dark
And I'm writing this with frozen fingers,
Black smudges under my eyes, due since the screaming silence in the park
And I've found tears to be the best remedy to a broken heart
And the most efficient makeup remover when I apply too much

Scent
D Mar 2014
My scent
It lingers on your skin
The aroma is one of lust
That you must not let in
Because if you do
Everything about you
Will change
You'll be a slave
To the animal whom's only purpose
Is to love

Burnt out
D Feb 2014
I have this odd habit
Of ******* **** up
O, and I've tried to help it,
But I always seem to get stuck

No matter what I do
It'll happen either way
I ruin all the beauty
That surrounds me every day

It's you, you are the beauty
That I never seem to see
You should leave, run, flee!
Before I make a mess of thee

It's me, I'm the one who's ******
I should be locked up, cast aside
Sealed away, held with no escape
Maybe in your cold embrace?

Cliche or Morbid?

Cliche or morbid

So why can't people just say
Yes or no
Instead?

Selfish Creature
D Feb 2014
I am a selfish creature,
Deep down in my soul
My heart doesn't care,
It has grown too cold,
And only a few things
Ever catch my attention
You are one of the things
I crave to control

But my desire for you
Destroyed all rational thought,
I know if I linger longer,
I'll end up staying with you, caught
Between my cold familiar
And the new warmth you've offered me
Slowly, you're thawing my heart,
A price that cannot be bought

This dark feeling
D Feb 2014
My eyes is heavy,
My lips are dry,
I'm sick of living,
It's time to die.
I'm in one of those moods
Where all I can see
Is the sick, twisted silence
Buried inside of me.
I think I need help,
For awhile now really,
But I don't even want it,
I like this dark kind of feeling.

Your world
D Feb 2014
I only wish I could see into your world
Just a little glimpse,
A sliver of insight
I either need confirmation on my theories
Or I need to dismiss them
How can I ever find sleep at night
When all I can think about is if shes on your mind?
Call me crazy, but it wouldn't be the first time
That you've found her more interesting to talk to
More beautiful to look at,
Or more satisfying than me
Please, let me in for a while,
Let me see whats behind your locked doors
It'll either settle my fears, leaving me to sleep peacefully
Or it'll shake the earth I walk on,
Causing me to slip through the cracks,
To my demise
Which is it.. And if I end up falling, will you catch me?

Big bad wolf
D Feb 2014
"I'll huff and puff and I'll blow this house down!"*

Go ahead, it's just a house
A structure of cement and bricks
It's not like I can't find another
Or make one from mud and sticks

Go ahead, it's just a house
It's not special to me
It's not like this house was my home
I hid that in a place that you cannot reach

So go ahead,
Huff and puff until your head explodes
Because that is just a house
And not my home
My home lies only in my own heart, a place few will ever find

O how I wish you were by my side, because

O my love, I just hope they don't get to me before you do
Goodnight!

Thank you sister
D Feb 2014
I wish my looks were worthy of envy
And my voice could turn heads
I wish my thoughts weren't so scary
But that's just who I am

I'm only sort of pretty
When you glance the right way
When the lightings off and my mask is on
Which doesn't happen everyday

My singing, can't you hear it
You start to cry at the sound
Not because it's unbelievable
But because it's terrible and loud

My mind, I'm not sure I could fix it
It's been this way since I was nine
Lost on my own in a world of shadows and hate
Forced to lie and say I'm fine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your looks are worthy of envy
Because I do it everyday
Your voice does turn heads
Because it's strong and knows what to say

So what if your thoughts are scary
That's okay with me
Because you're still the greatest person
Someone could ever meet

And you're not just only pretty
You're beautiful to me too
And you don't have to only look the right way
To see that it's true

When you sing I don't cry at the sound
It's not terrible, it's unbelievable
And just being honest here it is sort of loud
But you're my sister so don't even frown

And so what if your mind is different
It's been that way since you were nine
And no one has asked you to change it
So don't even try
First one is a song I wrote myself, and the second one is what my 14 year old sister wrote in response to seeing my lyrics. I just found them last night when I was cleaning my room. I started tearing up, just because of all the sweetness in it. I love you Sara <3

Definition of fool
D Feb 2014
I am the definition of fool
I choose to believe you
When you spoke of love and forever
I should have known that
The sky only appears to be blue

I am the center of stupidity
I thought I could control my heart
Tell it to only love you so much
I should have realized I couldn't hold it back
And that you would have torn it apart

I am the queen at being naive
I thought I alone could be enough
To satisfy your needs and wants
I should have known it was a lost cause
But I kept on trying, even when I should have run



I'll keep on trying, until you run away for good
Move on, forget me. You said you're good at that. But know I wont be able to, not for a long while anyway. I fell too hard, loved you too much, to just forget at that snap of your fingers. Remember that.

What hurts...
D Feb 2014
What hurts...

- Is not being wanted
            By the one you want the most.

What hurts...

- Is having to let go of something
            You associate with home.

What hurts...

- Is falling in love,
            Knowing full well it'll never last.

What hurts...

- Is not having the strength
            To move on from the past.

What hurts...

- Is fighting with the ones
            You let see into your heart.

What hurts...

- Is realizing all your friendships
            Are quickly falling apart.

What hurts...

- Is losing someone,
           Who was never meant to leave.

What hurts...*

- Is having to see all the scars
           Hidden under a sleeve.
I wrote this in my English class yesterday, a list of things that hurt..

Couple across the room
D Feb 2014
~          ~             ~

I'm watching the couple across the room
She's Asian and he's Indian
But race doesn't matter,
They're happy, everyone can see it

~          ~             ~

They sit together, side by side
Clicking on keyboards, the monitor alight,
They talk in hushed tones, lips pressed to ears
They're in love with each other, it's so very clear

She leans on his shoulder, breathes in his scent
He turns to face her, plants a kiss on her head
She sighs in contentment, this is their third year
He pulls her in closer to whisper in her ear

~          ~             ~

As I'm watching the couple
Who sits across the room
I find my mind wandering
To thoughts of you

~          ~             ~

When we sit together, side by side
Is there someone who watches, eyes alight
With our love, it sings loud, reaching the ears
Of those who watch us, making it clear

When I lean into your scent, I start to swoon
When you kiss me [anywhere], my heart beats a thousand x two
And I'll sigh because I'm happy, almost half a year
*I'll always love you darling, I just hope you can hear

Persian Princess

من واقعا خود را فارسی شاهزاده خانم؟ آیا شما تا کنون یک شاهزاده واقعی بود؟ چگونه من آرزو می کنم من می توانم به شما تمام این سوالات را بپرسید، اما شما فقط به من هم همین را بگویید - "البته که من شما را دوست دارم!" به عنوان یک چاقو تو را به گلو من .. لطفا، لطفا هرگز به من اجازه رفتن ..

It doesn't matter
D Feb 2014
It doesnt matter how loud I scream,
No one will ever hear me.

Look how easy it was for you,
How fast you got up and left me..
If someone screams in the middle of the woods and no one hears it, does it even make a sound?
D Feb 2014
What happened to her smile?
She never seems to do that anymore
Not without faking and forcing it,
While her heart lies on the floor..

****** and broken

She use to be the happy one,
Always up for a laugh,
Now she's the depressed one,
Thoughts of suicide run through her head

Broken and ******

People see her walking alone,
But they don't wave to her anymore
They hide their faces behind their books
Afraid of her tears, her hurt, her sorrow..

Blue to red

She hates all the scars, the bruises, the tear stained cheeks
She always has and always will
Her hobbies include cutting open her wrists
In front of her broken mirror..

Red to blue

She doesn't see them working on her,
Just a darkness pressing in
They're trying so hard to bring her back,
Mais il est trop ****, c'est la fin

Light to dark

Her mothers crying, school was cancelled
There are people sobbing everywhere
They never worried, didn't see it coming,
Could have done more to show they care..

Dark to light

"There's 70% chance that she won't wake up
And if she does, she probably won't remember a thing"
This mans voice sounds very far off,
But she can hear someone close by singing..

New and old

Her hand is warm but her name is still lost
Someone's breathing is felt close by
"I miss you, please come back to us..
I promise this time I'll try!"

Old and new

She knows this voice, if not anything else
She clenches her hand around the warmth
I'm coming The girl thinks to herself,
*Have patience, I won't be long..
Mais il est trop ****, c'est la fin = But it's too late, this is the end.

Also, Not even sure how I feel about this poem, wasn't even going to turn out this way until I was almost done lol #Don'thate

Either Way
D Feb 2014
You're either lying to me
Or you're lying to her
Either way, you're a liar..
You can't just tell me I'm beautiful
Then distract me to say the same
**** thing to that nudist *****!
I understand she's been here longer than I,
And that you two may be close,
But you have a ******* girlfriend now
It's time to let someone go..

*Hurry or I might decide for you..
I want to trust you, but could you at least make it easy for me?

Am I doing this right?
D Jan 2014
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right
For all I know I could look like a fool--
Hopping up, down, left, right!--
Dancing blindly in a chicken suit!

                     ~ ~ ~

So I cover my eyes
                                                   There's daisies and butterflies
And dream a happy scene
                                                             There's a quiet, bubbling stream
No longer am I here
                                                                              That reflects my image like a mirror
Instead I'm there
                                                                                                                             *One I can't bare
D Jan 2014
I have many flaws you see
But none could ever compare
To how my eyes perceive myself;
A broken toy beyond repair

My greatest flaw-- it tops them all!--
Is that I'm never good enough
Not for my mother, nor for me
Nor for the boy that stole my heart

And yet he says I'm always beautiful
He tells me I'm the only girl for him
But still I cannot bring myself
To believe a single word he's saying..

I have many fears you see
But none could ever amount
To the fear of not being accepted
And the fear of never accepting myself

My greatest fear-- it takes the cake!--
Is one I've held dear to my heart
I'm afraid that my biggest flaw
Will be one that continues to haunt

It says I'll never be beautiful
That theres no one who'll love me
And though I'm told almost everyday different
These are the words I choose to believe...

A girl or A Lamb?
D Jan 2014
Girls are fragile creatures,
Or maybe it's just me?
Whichever it is, I find myself
A slave to insecurities.

I cannot speak nor defend myself,
Nor will I put up a fight.
I'm too afraid the ones I cherish
Will walk away-- fade into the night..

I'll stay as docile as a lamb,
And follow your very lead--
Even if I know where you take me,
Will only lead to my misery.

Also, like a lamb, I won't approach you,
Not at first. No, I'll run away.
You must be the one to lure me in,
Get closer and closer each passing day.

Until at last you've got me,
And there's no where for me to turn.
I trust you'll take me to a place of safety,
And not the place where I'll be burnt.

And so please remember,
Whether it's because I'm a girl, a lamb, or me,
That I'm never going to come to you,
When it's hard enough to just be.
I have trouble making the first move.. especially when I'm under the impression things are tense ( bad habit I'm trying to break, working on it! )

I Want To Inspire
D Jan 2014
I have many favorite poems,
Along with a few poets I admire,
But I find myself wondering lately--
Will it ever be I who inspires?

I want to create my own world,
One full of beauty and hope.
I want people to understand how I view things,
And fall in love with my words.

Stupid Girl Anthem
D Jan 2014
Am I turning into one of those girls?
You know the ones I'm talking about―
The ones who make excuses for their bruises,
And hide the marks on their neck with pretty scarves?

Am I becoming the girl who I always said I'd never be?
I watched my mom growing up, strong and independent.
She always said "You know, you're a lot like me."
But am I really? I'm not sure anymore..

Oh look, a new one. My first thought
Is how to hide it from sight.
The second is what I'll say
If somehow my sweater rides up too high.

And the third is what will happen
If they don't believe my lie?
What will I tell them then?
Whatever happens, I mustn't cry.

No, I can't cry.
If I do, everyone will know
Know what I'm hiding
Behind all the baggy clothes

Secrets so dark, Monsters are scared;
Scratches so deep, no doctor would dare;
Black and blue bruises― my permanent paint,
Stained to my skin, forever more shall be taint.

And yet..
After this horrifying discovery
I still love him, don't I?
Of course I do..

And still..
I'll cover my body with his sweatshirt,
Not uttering a single word.
Because I can't lose you..

My Delusions
D Jan 2014
Outside?
I'm hurting.
I curl into a ball
As you lash out at me,
Demanding why I don't respond?
Because I'm scared of you, that's why.
Because if I speak, I might give it away.
I cant have you knowing how much it hurts―
Outside and inside, too; My heart picks up its pace.
Too quickly it's beating now, pounding against my chest,
It feels a bit like how your voice feels, a dull ringing in my head..
" Hey *****, are you okay? Am I hurting you, my little *****? "
Did you even say that? Illusions and reality―
I can't remember which is which.
I don't remember..
He doesn't exist
But he does.. Oh, he does
And he loves to tell me he's sorry
I try and convince myself hes not you though,
Because if I accept this part of you,
When he does show himself to me,
I'll be forced to believe its not him hurting me,
It's you.

But you wouldn't hurt me..
So I curl into a ball,
And tell myself
To sleep..

*Sleep until he's gone..

I think I might have given you
The wrong impression
When I told you I like pain..

No one like to be abused
Yet you still treat it like a game.

And you always come out on top,
Whenever you successfully
Pin me down.

You bite me, pull my hair,
Wrap your hands around my throat
Until I choke out loud..

Please, just **** me already..

Forget you
D Jan 2014
Forget the past
No looking back
Only moving forward
On and on and on

Forget the past
No looking back
Only moving forward
There's no last chance

Forget the past
Live for tomorrow
And everything it brings
Sing to me, a melody
Of a love newly found

When you're gone
D Jan 2014
To know
What you
Think about
When you're
Gone-- never
I'm just too afraid of what I'll find, or what I wont....

Call me
Pretty, call
Me Beautiful.
I know
You're lying.
It's okay though, I kind of like the bitter sweetness..
