Worthless
D Sep 2015
Don't look to me for comfort
I have no words of my own
I can't make the pain go away
I wont be your home

It's not that I don't want to be
I wish I could be your everything
But if I can't even comfort myself
I'll be next to worthless to go to for help

I blame you
D Sep 2015
You know something isn't right with the world when she can't even find comfort in herself any more
When she lets the words and whispers of her peers reach her ears, tearing her down until she is no more
I hate these people, with their stereotype bullets and words as sharp as knifes
No concern for her as they talk behind her back, not caring if what they say hurts her or not
Ignorant people with no inclination to see the truth, that just because someone isn't like you, doesn't mean they're freaks
But because she doesn't dress like you, because she isn't faking who she truly is
You leave snide remarks where she can hear them, backhanded comments trailing behind her wherever she goes...

You don't see it, because you don't know her
But I do and it hurts me to see her letting these idiots get to her
I don't know the words to make it better
And I blame all of you

The Artist
D Sep 2015
All artists are born with magic in them,
They use it to create beautiful things out of thin air
Though I've found that none could ever compare
To that of the wonders by your hands

You were born to shape the world
To twist and bend it to your design
I was surprised when you choose me as your canvas
Molded me to perfection and titled it 'Mine'



You once told me that I was your muse
A body so full of untapped beauty
That it was criminal to hide

I told you I know I'm not much
But I'm all yours, so take me
And rearrange me into something worth your love



You made me feel beautiful and I loved the attention
You told me to close my eyes and use my imagination
And when you gave me wings and told me to fly
I did so without any hesitation



If I would've just opened my eyes
I would've seen the truth
An artist lives off the high of creation
And once they've finished they're through

While my back was turned
And I prepared to take the fall
You were off to find another canvas
Another muse to use up

Hello, Hellopoetry...
D Sep 2015
I would post more poems,
but whenever I come online
all I see is people advertising drama
and calling down one another
some people are just being idiots..
its not a positive space anymore
at least, not how I see it

Rock Me Gently
D Sep 2015
rock me gently into sleep
cradle my heart in your hands while I dream
keep me safe as I lay unaware
be my protector,
it shows you care
I've become so tired that I need rest
take me into your arms,
rock me gently,
you're the best.
I'm tired and I just want to be held.... sigh

A Painting
D Aug 2015

Debris left over from a forgotten city
So barren nothing grows from the ground
The fire layed waste to all things pretty

Stopping Time
D Aug 2015
Tell me I'm dreaming
When I look upon your face
Your smile is dazzling
Your eyes hold my gaze

And for a moment I'm trapped
Between seconds that refuse
To pass, because they too
See me looking at you
Even time is stopped by your charming self

Once in a while
D Aug 2015
I don't like to admit this,
But once every year,
I summon all of my courage,
And shove down my fears,

I let my mind wander,
Let myself roam,
Through all the posibilities,
All the paths my life could go,

I find over time its gotten harder to say,
That I just might not want my life to play out this way,
Maybe I want just a little more for myself,
Maybe what I'm doing is poor to my health,
Maybe I need to work on my life,
Figure out who I am, what to change and whats right,
Not edited at all, hardly even proof read, but I don't care because I'm trying not to think about this ....

Update: Reading it I think it's difficult to understand at first, but what do you think this means?

Door Of Opportunity
D Aug 2015
You may know more than anyone
The things I put myself through
All in the name of being unworthy
Of a friend the likes of you
I don't know if I deserve this,
I'm not sure I can,
Its just been so long
Since I've had a real friend
Your arms are wide open
Your heart on display
This took a lot of courage
I guess I'm trying to say
I'm scared of being an inconvience
Or replaced in half a day
But since you asked me so nicely
I'll give it a shot and stay
aaaaah o.o

Love is another drug
D Aug 2015
I don't care if I'm going crazy, I'm already crazy about you,
I think about you day and night, always wishing you'd be by my side,
And if some say I'm addicted, so what if I am?
This addiction makes me feel loved,
I think its worth letting it destroy me in the long run,
Aug 2015 · 711
Leaving Anyway
D Aug 2015
I don't expect you to understand,
There's a lot going on here, but if you'd take my hand,

Please know that I love you, that'll never change
Even when I've chosen to go my own way,

My love, my love, my love will stay the same

Default Emotion
D Aug 2015
Sad is my default emotion,
Happy only a lovely surprise drenched it poisons,
For happiness is temporary and fleeting,
Whereas sadness is eager to take her rightful place in my heart,
Always a bit stronger for it every time.
Sad...

Love Me Like I Love You
D Jul 2015
I wanted to say make me feel important,
like you'd spend 150$ on me
just because you wanted me
to have something nice from you.
Make me believe you have
trouble getting to sleep
because my arms arent wrapped
around you.
Tell me about your day
not out of obligation,
but because you dont want me to miss
the things that made you happy.
Love me like I love you,
completely with a bit of insanity.

Kiss Me
D Jul 2015
Kiss me deeply, make me forget how it feels to be angry
Kiss me slowly, make me remember how it feels to not be lonely
Kiss me with meaning, remind me why my hearts still beating
Kiss me with feeling, show me how much you really need me

Speaks To Me
D Jul 2015
I think you ripped an artery,
‘cause now it seems my heart wont beat,
It’s like the air is starving me,
because it feels so hard to breathe,
You ripped away a part of me,
and then you just discarded me,
And left me, looking far too pleased,
to see me scarred and on my knees,
I’ve realized it’s hard to bleed,
when you find your hearts deceased,
But now its not so hard to see,
you were a cancer harming me
Not mine, not sure who wrote it though.

Fire In My Gut
D Jul 2015
Give me the words to fuel the fire
burning in my gut
It's growing stronger with every addition,
every insult, every cut
It's catching my blood a ablaze,
I feel my body burning up
Give me the words to fuel the fire,
I haven't had enough
I'll burn myself out, like a candle left over night

Simple
D Jul 2015
I want to **** myself
That is as simple as it gets
Until then smiles all around
I need to let someone know, but I don't trust anyone to believe me. If I told anyone in my life I want to **** myself, they'd scoff, they'd say I'm fine, or they'd tell me to shut up, and stop asking for attention. They wouldn't take me seriously, and I'm done being treated like nothing I say has meaning.

Truth In A Lie (repost)
D Jul 2015
Don't trust me, I am a liar.
I'm the best there ever was!
Don't trust me with your darkest secrets,
Don't trust me with your *****!
I'll ravage and pillage and ruin each one.
I'll **** them and hate them, all in good fun.
Don't trust me, I am a liar.

Don't trust me, I am a  liar.
I could be lying to you right now.
Don't trust me with a word or whisper,
I'm sure to spread them all around.
I'll sell half to the south for bread and wine
A quarter to the east,
Last I'll send to the northmen,
Then, I shall be king.

But don't trust me,  please
For I liar I am known.
I spin stories so gracefully sung.
No one dare question my words be true,
But trust me when I say one thing,
No one will ever sell the truth to you.

Writing
D Jul 2015
I know the words I'm searching for are there,
lying beneath the surface of my conscience grasp,
and I know if I try hard enough I can reach them,
pull them from their depths
and use them to create something meaningful
but what if they're not meaningful?
What if I lost it, the talent to string
many times used words together
to make something new altogether?
I could cry with the lack of effort
I put into my poetry now-a-days,
but I'm learning to fear so many things I never use to,
and its hampering my work on a large degree.
How can I claim this is what I do,
who I AM,
when I don't cant feel confident
in my skills as a writer anymore?
Who am I if not a writer?
I'm nothing extraordinary; writing made me feel free
and hopeful and extraordinary,
but I'm not writing anymore,
at the least nothing that makes me feel all those things.
Writing was an escape, and now I seem to have locked myself in a box..

Afraid of the Afterlife
D Jul 2015
I wish I wasn't afraid to die,

afraid of not knowing what's on the other side,

afraid of being wrong, afraid of being right,

just plain afraid of having to live the afterlife

when all I want is to be nothing
Is it so much to ask that after all this, I can just be let go?

Apologies Left Unsaid
D Jul 2015
I'm too scared to speak up and do something,
No matter how much I want to apologize,
And try to mend what I ****** up.
It's easier to just be on my own and stick to myself,
Then to trust myself to be a good friend,
Because honestly, I don't think I am.

Same song, different verse
History always repeats itself.
Just give up and leave me alone
I'm not worth your help

Torn - Family Matters
D May 2015
I can feel my life draining from my soul
As I'm smothered by each part of the whole
It's infuriating, playing the docile lamb
Slowly killing me, to be not who I am
Inside me, there's an ongoing war
Where my heart and my mind are constantly torn
Between securing my future and playing it safe
And doing the impossible on a leap of faith
To move out or not to move out, that is the question...

Dramatics
D Apr 2015
You say I'm being dramatic
I say I'm being me
All I'm doing is expressing myself

It's okay, just don't be so harsh next time you stomp on my emotions..

Cologne
D Apr 2015
Your scent is everywhere
All around me
It's intoxicating
And suffocating all at once

In the waves you caused
To pull me from shore
And carry me out to you
No one could understand what this means, it means everything..

I'll Write..
D Apr 2015
I'll write until my hands get sore,
I'll write until they bleed
I'll write into the darkest nights
To staunch this insanity
I'll use words to fill those empty holes
The hollowest parts, you'll see
I'll write until my hands are numb
And there's nothing left of me

Friendless
D Apr 2015
you were a better friend to me in a few months
then some have been to me in years
yet now when we see each other in the halls
we act like we're total strangers
the fallout was all my fault
I didn't believe I deserved a friend
"it wasn't fair you got stuck with me"
and so to make it up to you, I left
now I see how mistaken I was
to think such a foolish thing
but I'm the insecure one of us
it's my job to keep my heart in a sling
Literally been trying to write a poem about my feelings over this situation i'm in and nothing until now.. not that great, but i'm desperate to get this out so here.. who knows what'll happen now

Bad Luck
D Feb 2015
I've had enough bad luck to last me forever
I've never gone outside and seen the sun shine
I've never come across a penny while walking down the street
I've never even seen a rabbit so I could cut off his feet
Rain clouds always covering my skies
And the drops, they keep getting in my eye
I've had enough bad luck to last me forever
But I can suffer through it all if you and I are together

Taste
D Feb 2015
It's that look in your eyes
Right before you kiss me
How your lips feel against mine
It's the way that it tasted
Like water after too many days of going thirsty
It's the way you drew me in
With that smile, ever lasting

Of dangers and demons
                                                 And monstrous things

It's haunting my nightmares
                                                 It sings me to sleep
Turning all of my fears
                                                 Into reality

Like a flower
D Nov 2014
I wish I was like a flower
Only withered from the winters cold
Ready to bloom again in the spring

But I'm more like a carcass
Left to rot in the sun for an eternity

All the while, these people around me
Rip pieces off to take for themselves
Then turn away without a backwards glance

Because I'm already dead

Break up ballet
D Nov 2014
There's something crucial missing
Something deep within my chest
I've been hollow and empty and broken
Ever since you ripped my heart from between my *******
I didn't see it coming
Though I should have seen the signs
I was blinded by my own hopes and dreams
Too naive; tossed to the side
I was a fool to believe you loved me
You're a lesson I wish I didn't have to learn
But control has long slipped through my fingers
I only wished it might have lasted longer -- Pretending was much easier than facing this cruel world

We Soar
D Oct 2014
Let's climb a tree together
Hand in hand, to the very top
Branch by branch, ascending higher
No looking down, not afraid of the drop

Let's use the wind to wash ourselves
To clean the filth from our ***** hearts
Then let's tuck each other into a slumber
Filled with the softest leaves, and shiniest stars

Let's then wrap our selves not in regret
But the warmth of the rising sun
Which wakes each morning with a new purpose
Being to bring light to all those it loves

Let's promise now to never look down
To forget all we've left behind
We're starting anew, forever, me and you
And we've come up here to begin our new life

So let's climb a tree together,
Live the life we never had before
Once, we were tired and broken
But up here, we're strong; we soar
Just a thing

And love you with every passing day

Don't Believe I'm Okay
D Sep 2014
Why are people so accepting of the smile
After all the tears they just saw be shed?
It's exhausting playing the happy, smiling girl
When all the while, inside I'm dead
Why don't they notice my tired eyes,
Or the way my legs always seem to shake?
I'm sick of pretending that I'm perfectly fine
For everyone elses sake
Because no one really wants to believe someone close to them feels pain, so they take whatever signs of normality and happiness theyre given, and ignore the truth. I dont blame those people, I just wish when I say im okay I could mean it someday..
