It's okay to not look your best,
because you are not just your looks!

You are much larger.

Why become small by limiting yourself with just how you look?

I want someone to look at me
the way I look at her

for them to be filled with joy
at seeing me
heart pounding
from a goofy smile

to have someone want
to spend all their free time with me

I want someone to love me
the way I love her
Wanted to release an uplifting poem after the Hozier EP drop, this felt like a good one

Look me in the eyes
Tell me you didn't
That you did not love
That you never loved me
Look me in the eyes
And give me the stone cold truth
Look me in the eyes

Minute by minute, life slips further away,
Treat every moment as if it's gold,
Give Earths scenery a second glance,
The present is precious, yours to hold.
Do not waste your days away wishing for better to come

Oh! Happy, Confident, It’s finally all done!
My happy moments of truth felt brighter than 30 suns,
I finally got through it even if it hurt a tonne,
annoying all my new friends with overrated puns.

Fans from left to right are finally meeting me there,
I speak words of wisdom and hope that they learn,
they comfort me from all the stories I share,
who knew it would all change you see? When I begin to turn.

Fair skin walks towards me with smiles of pure glee,
I know there’s something here, I see it in his eyes,
he looks up to say, he’s always wanted to see me,
I hold a moment in time, I can see him rise to the highs!

Shades of red covered us both,
it became a blanket of pure hope,
I then vowed to take an oath to see your growth,
to see you excel beyond this *****.

He reminded me of when I was just a dreamer back then,
When I always wondered when...

He sprung up happy, I could tell,
the spark in him never shone so well.
When I was talking to many people starting out YouTube, they would sometimes ask me about it:
    • How can I do this?
    • Is there a secret?
    • Do you know how I can get a following?

In honesty, people just want to see nice, genuine caring people.
Of course you can make views easily by being a **** to everyone because drama sells, but in the end of the day, it was genuine people, being themselves.

One in particular stood out to me when I was young when he started out, was this guy who was really shy at first, but he was an absolute sweetheart, heart of gold and a mind filled with ideas and ambition. I always wanted the best for him and sadly I cut off with them.

Many years later I did see them have their own uprising of following and it made me happy. I was quite glad to know that I could inspire someone to be themselves and go out there to show off who they really are.

I was inspired by irregular ode mixed in with some free versing for this. I wanted to create almost a structure of hope, a feeling of importance and happiness.

Odes are something I do need to practice, but I do think I did a rather good job.

We gaze, but must never listen to the
                     insecurities of something
                     as shallow as a vein of glass.

For a reflection is more shallow,
          than the light refracting off it.
     Only look inward, never external.

I was admiring a lovely flower it was inspiring because of it's elegant power, it's magnificent design and this is how it was defined in my mind.

Such a lovely flower, born of a beautiful but harsh planet, to be empowered not taken for granted.

A gorgeous Rose splendidly clothed, wonderful wit, bright, sun lit, just plane exquisite.

Decendent of a special seed, envied by haughty weeds, only out to do ***** deeds. By putting on a false face in an attempt to envade your space because your very essence they want to erase and take your place.

They see your physique, slender, sleek then notice you're meek, so they think you're weak, so to speak.

But through the rain, through the storms even as the buggers swarm they wonder how you are able to remain such a gracious art form.

When in full bloom you light up the entire room and take away the gloom making the weeds fume because they can only assume.

As your wonderful shades cascade, I must concur they are all different but beautiful colors.

While styling and profiling it's amazing how you keep 'em smiling and the way you react, not with unkindness but with tact, I'd say you're quite abstract.

Which makes the haughty weeds scoff saying you're a bit of a show off. Nevertheless in your glamorous dress you're just picturesque.

And that's without a doubt but wait a minute. Just who are what am I writing about?

i've looked for you
in the eyes and hands
of every
someone
since
Veronika Sivka May 2018
Even if I don't say it out loud,
I still search for you in a crowd,
Actually, I search for you in every place.
I look for you in every face,
Hoping it is your eyes that I find,
And yet you are nowhere - but in my mind.
