I am in love with music as it helps me through my unexplainable emotions.

and you are my voice
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
it's nice to know
that when I scream
my lungs out
but they only hear whispers,
you will be loud for me
*my voice

occupied thoughts
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
and i will write my thoughts in this line
because you steal the thoughts
i thought were mine.
O.K
no intent to share
but you made me think
that maybe i still care?
May 2017 · 250
and that's why.
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
I finally know why I'm drawn to blue
it's both happy and sad
and it says
*i understand you

kept and left
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
we have a history
the people I've left
and the 'lucky' ones I've kept.
I've left one because loving hurts so good
I've left him behind
in a quiet neighborhood.
There he will find peace
and maybe just maybe
our hearts will feel at ease.
O.K
not my best work, but it's late and I'm not very tired.

never but forever lasting
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
even when you said no
I simply knew
that forever was what you wanted too
you saw into the future with wary eyes
and saw that we couldnt work,
and you didn't want us to cry.
long distance can be pretty rough
but knowing you saw a forever
comforts me enough.
so, think of this poem as a "not kiss"
and I thank you for fulfilling my wish.
O.K
the wish, someone who saw a long love instead of a short one.

a letter to them
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
"Listen,
I'm sorry for trying to be myself
for trying to please you
or asking for some help.
I apologize for ever wanting to try
but I still tried to be who you wanted
it makes me cry and cry.
Do you know how it feels to never be loved?
Wait no of course not.
You've always put yourself above."
**p.s. all I've ever wanted was love and approval too
but soon I'll be happy
I'm officially through
O.K

tossing troubles away
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
every last
"You'll never amount to anything"
every last
"Try to be less of yourself"
and every single
broken promise.
I will toss these away and move on
I will soon live happier
*maybe they'll regret it when I'm gone

daisies

while going crazy.
plucking petals
and tasting metals
((of her blood))
rolling down the hill
simply allowing her heart to feel.

Breathe
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
but now I understand..
I love the rain because it allows my tears to flow,
and the sun's bright rays let my smile glow,
no,
I've never really cared for snow,
but the wind that fills my lungs just makes me breathe in,
and let go
O.K

tears and holding them back
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
maybe it's the saltiness they contain
or the emotion that I must chain
but the tears I dare not show
build up a knot in my throat
*I promise they won't flow,
it's too late now I can't let myself go.

so, yeah
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
do your laundry
mow the lawn
do the dishes
but wait you're not done
fold the towels and my laundry too
put them away just as you do.
when you get done,
I have some more
clean out the kitchen
and vacuum the floor.
this is what it's like
to be Cinderella
O.K
"and maybe one day her dreams will come true." and so the reality of life shows it's ugly face
May 2017 · 271
but should I?
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
i promise
i quit
if it hurts you, i won't do it
all of these promises
have been shattered
so should i believe you
when you say
stay, i love you.*
you've went back on your word
so many times
it's not fair for me to stay anymore
O.K
Just a little something I thought up today
May 2017 · 278
have you?
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
have you ever thought
that i might have my problems
that i cant deal with this anymore
or that when i take a walk
im running away from my house
but not my home?
O.K

choke
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
i was fighting
im tired of hiding
my love for smoke
im quickly smiling
really trying
to be myself
ah
im quietly screaming
loudly dreaming
i wish i would have spoke.
my mouth closed
my mind open.
am i supposed to feel alone?
cant i walk away,
even as i choke?
O.K
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
break my heart and then my spine.
crash your lips upon mine.
take me away, darling so divine.
you cant tell a broken clock to read the time.
beautiful heartbreaker, i love you so.
so much that i close my eyes and still see your ghost.
you break my heart and then my spine, lost: trying to find whats
**mine
O.K
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
I wish it would
well rain harder
I wish that
the sky water would be salty
like my tears.
this way both could slide down my face unidentifiable
I wish the thunder was louder
just to help save me from my thoughts

I love how
well simply how
I'm walking to the beat,
crunching gravel to meet the sound
of my favorite song
even though it's no longer playing
I love that
the rain is blurring my vision
eventhough I couldn't see anyway
I love that with every step
I'm taking a shower
the rain provides me with good cleansing
I'm slowly scrubbing away every
remark, laugh, judge, scar and stain
and as my jeans, blouse, and shoes get wet,
I'm washing away some of this too
hidden deep within the seams

and yet some people wonder
why
why does she like the rain
well
It's not just rain
it's a friend
that I can talk to and actually leave with
a cleansed soul.

nostalgia
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
a little girl's journal
just covered with dust
filled with a mind so naive
the lock; rusted with broken trust
O.K
tonight I am filled with nostalgia as I look back upon my past and see a little girl who hasn't been hurt.
May 2017 · 373
but why
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
even though I was working out the problems
and trying to figure out whatever chemistry was between us,
you managed to take away my breath
when I was suffocating already.

I am tired
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
no
I'm not tired because of sleep deprivation
but a different type of tired
a type of tired that doesn't make my eyes
close
but the kind that makes them "water" or even
r o l l

most people that cause me to be in this tired state
really don't know what they're doing because it's who they are.
*They are simple fools.

blackout poetry
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
I like it
a new way of writing for me
but I feel as if there's more to it than that
I wonder what it could be.
More intricate designs or a simple little mark
but some people may not
see this poetry as a hobby or an art.
I mark out useless words and phrases too
but a word that doesn't qualify for my art
may be essential for your poem, or for you.
O.K
There's no better way to end the school day.
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
hope
it's over come my other emotions
it's built up
only to be broken down by fools.

hope is awful
it burns my heart and brain
like a bonfire lit with gasoline.

my blue neighborhood
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
want to leave?
that's up to me
not to you or anyone else.
time to keep
the waves and good beats
I am keeping this all to myself.

I'm made to disappoint
what's the point?
please tell me
just tell me
I really need to know,
don't you see?
my blue neighborhood is just for me.
O.K
I'm sorry for all of these poems I've been writing, but I'm very obsessed with this artist.
May 2017 · 367
be mine?
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
not asking for a lot,
but will you be the friend
of mine that I can just
casually fall in love with?
O.K
That'd be great. Thanks

can't i refuse?
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
hello
if you're reading this,
im afraid you're reading a chapter
of.. well... me.
today he tried at least
he did
a compliment, or was it?
he looked for a reaction.
but can't I refuse?
a week of long nights
talking to a dear friend
whose name will not appear
trying to prevent the cuts on her skin
cant she refuse?
little things slowly weighing on my mind
every day I wish I were actually the
joyous person I make it out I am.
I'm afraid not
and this realization is something I can't refuse.
O.K

and so it does
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
it does just so happen
that i very much like the sound of melancholy
and i revel in lyrics and sounds
i listen
hoping that the song will help
explain my own life to me
*and so it does
That's not always a great thing you see.
O.K
(Sorry for the never ending poetry that just keeps writing itself on this page, but I've been feeling very inspired lately)

classic
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
the sound of happiness yet melancholy
it puts me in a mood of want.
inspiration.
love.
writing.
it's classic of me to listen to heartspilled
chords and find joy in someone else's
beautiful pain.

color me free
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
how can i be myself
if all i want is a different canvas
to paint on for once?

the voice in my head
is rude to me.
how can i get the tears to stop
from going all the way down my face?

this song says to
count to fifty
but how can i get there if i can't
get to 40?
This poem is not my best but again, more song inspired writing. I love this artist, I can honestly apply his lyrics to my life :)
O.K

quiet
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
shhh
do you hear that?
muffled voices and my own thoughts
it cuts through my mind like a knife
honestly anything would hurt less than the quiet.

guns locking and loading
ready to fire
without my consent
yet the quiet is still more deadly.
Nothing like a little song inspired poetry.

too much of a fight
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
for me to be so happy
ive had some arguments with monsters
and im sorry if I end up sounding sappy
but too many fights make too many wounds
that dont always heal
but
too much crying
gives those monsters time to take the ****.

desired drawings
Olivia A Keaton May 2017
i would like to believe that i am an artist
even without paper and pen
i have the talent to notice
to trace with my fingers upon your too soft skin
to color in my canvas
and feel my crimson heart thrive within
a gentle little trace under your eyes and then your lips
so perfect with such want
what has made me sketch like this?
aha words tossed to and fro
when will I stop,
the world may never know.
O.K

hi. hello.
I'm doing somewhere between overly happy
(to the point I'm smiling like an idiot)
and utterly disappointed
(in you and myself)
you are indeed overwhelmingly beautiful
or handsome if you please
I can't find my feelings for you or myself
too bad that that's all I really need.
just some thoughtful word doodling. No. Drawing. This is more thought out than simple doodles on this page. Anyways I hope you enjoy because I'm truly smiling like an idiot constantly and I don't know how to quit.

fatal attraction
Olivia A Keaton Apr 2017
what can I say
I am attracted to you
perhaps in the most fatal way
you have the most beautiful dangers
a nice little story
which has too literal cliffhangers
I'm searching for something new
perhaps a better story
but I cant get over you
wow
thats funny I swear I got over him
and i didnt think I liked you
until you happened to be in my dream.
This love sick girl is a danger to society
and I cant believe that for once
even in a dream you liked me
Apr 2017 · 175
Cool
Olivia A Keaton Apr 2017
a nice little song for inspiration
a nice little thought for my mind's destination
i pour gasoline over my heart's depression
and state a little fact to my body, a flame, a confession
O.K
I was just trying to be cool

I miss it
Olivia A Keaton Apr 2017
We used to hang out all of the time
Sleep overs when we used to stay up too late
and act like your parents couldnt hear our too
excited conversations that weren't correct in grammer
I miss the times we were drunk
Not on alcohol but on friendship
and while we were together,
nothing else and no one else mattered.
To Samantha :)

How to cope
Olivia A Keaton Apr 2017
I don't know what this poem will be about for you
or even what it will be for me
but hopefully it will help all of us*

Struggles
they are, sadly, a thing
Depression
that's also a character
how do we cope?
Humans run
we run to places that make us feel safe
music. art. writing.
little safe havens that we can all go to
and I hope that my writing can be one for you.
O.K
