Tell me how to end the story
When the plot runs heavy
And I’ve lost all the glory.

All of my years
Spent trying to fit in
I feel alone on this stage
Alien to my own skin.

No one told me,
If I shouted out loud,
That all of my worries would
Catch me from the crowds

An nobody told me,
Sifting through clouds,
That in chasing heaven
I resembled a clown.

So if you hate me now,
Go on and give me your worst advice
I’ll take your daggers,
If only I can end this life.
Seems like no one engages with me any more, and all I do is encourage and try to write my feelings. Maybe my pain doesn’t resonate with others and that’s okay…maybe I should retire my pen.
I speak the thoughts
that must be said
the ones my poet
has in her head.

Her pen has carved
emotion into my pages
her love and passion
her worries and rages.

Why must I always express,
the assortment of emotions
she always wants to suppress,
whenever she's under stress?

I figured out a solution,
that'll save me and every tree
all poetkind would love it...
did I mention that it's free?

It's called Hello Poetry!
🌳💖Gotta love HP! 💖🌳
A place where I feel safe,
Where my art is noticed,
Where I am somebody.

Raise your cup for a toast,
"I love HP!"
This is a great place
Let's play a game of guess who,
They've got HP riled up,
My poem blazing on the front page,
So many supposed alter egos I can't even count!
Did you get it?
My person was, Paul! Paul?
Who even is Paul?
His name keeps coming up I'm confused where this person fits in.
What if I'm wrong?
What if I'm on the wrong side?
What if they're right?
And they did nothing wrong?

Maybe I need more proof,
Maybe I need to let this go,
I want this to be a safe space,
I pray for a safe HP.

Is there a way we can have peace,
Where no one gets hurt anymore,
Is there a way we can have peace,
Without tearing apart HP?
I haven't seen any proof one way or the other for anyone. I want the best for this site, to be a place where people can find safety in art. Is there a way we can take away real predators and not have people falsely accused as one?
