As in and out one must breathe
in order to survive,
One who writes must also read
to keep their work alive.
I will live forever
in the ink of a pen
and a letter on a page.

Manifesting are the worries you constantly put out
Infecting the mindset of the joyful.
Why are you so inconsiderate??
Play nice.
Stop being the sucker,
You can only drain so much from a person.
Like a leech,
You won't unattach until you are full and feel fulfilled for
your own pride and needs.

I will write
Until my fingers bleed
And the angels beg me to stop
Zhanara Feb 2018
My first love died
I don't have enough air to breath
I remember  all of his words
I don't forget even his clothes
My feeling without answer
He took with him
My lovely words to him
Asleep forever in my heart
Now, nobody take it out.
My  tears change into ice
Nobody can break it
I stop to imagine my life with him
Now,it is just my dream in the paradise
He is my love in my fairy tale
Now, I don't have  chance to tell him
I don't have a chance to love him
He is just my stone
Which live in my soul
He is my black shadow
That I can't touch
He is my wind
That I can't see
He is my castle
Nobody can't open it ,
even with a key, too
I thank him forever
I love him ever
Because
He is my first love
First love is never die in my heart...

I don't think you understand
Where it is I'm coming from

Im not doing this for an English grade
If i was I'd have perfect grammar
im not doing this for you
If i was i'd put more heart into my words
i'd make you feel something
pathos
logos
ethos

no
im not doing it for you
or for him
or for anyone else

i do it for me
i write for me
im selfish
i keep my words for myself
i keep my words close to me
so only i can feel their meaning

so no
at the end of the day
i dont care if you feel any of my words
i dont care if you detest them
because they arent for you
they are for me

so no
at the end of the day
i dont think you understand.
If it was for English, I'd be flawless. If it was for you, I'd write with heart. because it is for me i write as i choose to

Some people only pick up a pen in grief,
May your pen pick you up in peace.

<3
Ever since I was young did I write and write and write. Since the day I could hold a pencil, marker, pen, crayon, whatever.

I was always full of abundant stories, poetry and imagination, and only later on would I know both ends from picking up a pen in both sadness and of happiness.

I have recieved many awards for my writing pieces in the past, given some to many, published ones for myself or as gifts; but nothing in my life could ever amount to the peace I have had in picking up a pen and being able to create words that not only have spread so many things and help to others,
But in helping myself.

To all the writers out there-
"Use what talent you posses, the woods would be very silent if the only birds that sang were the best."

metaphors, they lie
we are made to believe there is meaning
beneath every symbol we try
to decipher—
the door is red, it expresses anger
I wore the red but I am empty
as I try to grasp the reality
I am alone and bathed in shame
flicking switches on and off
in the bathroom
soaking blood-stained sheets
blood is death
death is rather colorless—
a starless sky
a vacuum.
all for you Feb 2018
When I was 5 I wanted to be a doctor
Until I realized I cried every time I needed a shot
Winced when I saw someone fall
And wanted to ***** when I saw blood.

When I was 7 I wanted to be a veterinarian
Until I realized I was more connected to animals
Than I was to humans
And I cried every time my dog so much as limped.

When I was 10 I wanted to be a teacher
Until I realized I could never let my students go
And would be too concerned about what they’re going through
That I wouldn’t even know what to teach them.

When I was 13 I wanted to be a lawyer
Until I realized I shook every time something bad happened
And if I ****** at arguing with my brother
How could I argue for someone’s future?

When I was 15 I wanted to be a CEO
Until I realized people would have to know my name
And I’d have to tell them what to do
When I didn’t even know what I was doing.

When I was 17 I wanted to be an author
Until I realized I couldn’t even read my own work
Let alone let my family and friends read it
Let alone let strangers read it.

When I’m grown up
All I really want to be
Is so content with where I’m at
That I don’t need to look too far in the future.

When I grow up
I just want a roof over my head
A job I love
And a family that loves me.

When I grow up
I don’t care what I’m doing
Or where I am
As long as I’m happy.
i think i'll end up ok // love always

A million years at least would take
To read them all
Front to back and over again
And yet
If an author paid for every word
It would bankrupt them
Over and over again

Who knows how many they've uttered in darkness?
The mind and mindless penmanship
Just try and count your own thoughts sometime
