Texting you one day
I noticed something was different
That you weren’t acting normal
And you wouldn't even listen
I tried and tried to get you
To open up and say
What was going on with you
On that very day
But you said you couldn’t tell me
And right then I was heartbroken
It was better that you didn’t tell me though
Because it would’ve left me hurtin’
Hurting more than not telling me
Is something really hard to do
But then again,
Telling hurts me too
Its one of those moments
You really have to think
And try to find the answer
Before your mind goes blank
Because I’m one of those people
That’s always gotta know
If you’re feeling okay
And if not then what is wrong
So don’t be afraid to open up to me
Even if you think it’s wrong
Because you’ll find it’s the right choice
And that doubting me was wrong
You can always trust me
As you should know
So tell me what’s bothering you
And I will help you though

Walking down the halls
I realised one day
That I haven't even noticed
That you have been going this way
You’ve been behind me
And I haven’t even cared
But I also didn’t know
That you’d been there
Now I keep walking
And with more knowledge
Blushing uncontrollably
And now on edge
Afraid you might talk to me
I start to walk faster
But wanting to talk to you
I walk slower
So I stay the same pace
And you don’t even notice
How I’ve started to worry
And that my face has gone crimson
Finally reaching my destination
I walk in and feel relieved
But also sad
Knowing that you just walked past
This emotion I feel
Is hard to explain
So I just sit down
And look plain
“Maybe next time”
I think to myself
“I’ll have enough courage
To walk up to him myself”
And with just those few words
My confidence goes wild
And for a few moments
I actually think I could do it
So when I see you again
I go up and say “hi”
And you don’t respond
I suddenly feel shattered
And fall endless
In that fall I realise
That my goals are to high
And I change them
To make them mine
You disappear from my thoughts
And I start to focus
But I see you again
And it all comes back again
All the emotion
And all the realisations
The emotions and lives
I had planned out
Just pop into my head
And don’t pop out
So you’ll always be there
In a special place in my heart
Tucked away forever
Where I can restart

Have you ever wondered
What life would be like
If you had never thought
Of what you’ve left behind
Our world is
Made up of thoughts
Of the past and the future
The present we don't think of
Because we think it'll make us distraught
But the present will do us good
We should focus on it more
Because without it
Life would be a bore
Well, really, without it
Life wouldn’t even exist
We wouldn't be alive
We wouldn’t exist
Your thoughts make you
So don’t just shove them away
Because without them
There wouldn’t even be a day
There wouldn’t be time for you
To even try
To think about life
And the things we’ve left behind
Your thoughts are yours
You don't have to share them
Just know that you always
Have to think about them

No matter the situation you’re in,
No matter how tough,
You can get through it,
And life will go on.
You could be stressed for a test
Or thinking of the past
But no matter what it is
You can make your life last
People come and go
There is no reason to fret
Over the ones that cause trouble
Their so easy to forget
Think of the present
Not the past
Not even the future
Can get passed
The only thing
That makes you you
Is how you handle now
And if you see your life through
So don’t give up now
Cause there is so much to see
So much to do
And so much life to live
Because no matter how hard
Life might seem right now
You can get through it
And life will go on

You’d be surprised
How often you’d find
Amazing moments spoiled
By some random guy
Or by your teacher
Calling you out
For texting your mom
And trying to figure this stuff out
Why would she call you
In the middle of class
While you're trying to focus
Trying to pass
So that one time
He catches you
Is also the time
People are starting to like you
Having your poem
Trend online
Is a goal for everyone
Even mine
So, when i got that email
Saying it was trending
I went into a fandom
That was never ending
And then it was crushed
By that teacher
So now i'm here
Writing on paper
Trying to make sure
I don't fall
Into a void
Where i won't get out
A void of sadness
Depression
A common problem
For a common life, i'm guessin'
So i'm sitting here now
Putting words on a page
And hoping that
I only die on a stage

Wake up in the morning
Hoping to see you next to me
But you’re not
And it was only a dream
But i know you are out there somewhere
Just waiting to see me
And i'm just laying here
Just arriving from a dream
And as my brain unfogs
I remember my computer
Pulling it out
Thinking sooner is better than later
And as i'm logging in
A realization comes
What if you’re not on
And won't be til the setting sun?
As i think this
I remember
You’ll always be there
Always there forever
So, i close my computer
And shut it down
And think to myself
Everything is ok now
