When the universe seems to be falling apart
And I have somehow lost my way
It is you that picks me off the ground
Providing an enticing escape

This place where I always run
Try to avoid it
(With no luck)
There's no obstacle my heart can't conquer
To your side stupidly stuck

A powerful magnet heart is drawn to
Through dense brick walls thick and wide
Feeling force of gripping fingers
Beckoning to your side

Maybe world is against us
We're doomed to be destroyed
Made of flesh not concrete or steel
Help!
I'm tumbling into the void

I have become accepting of demise
Eyes of betrayed hope
One day will need you to be there
I am terrified you won't
It's crazy how you don't realize how much you need someone until, well, you need them.

When I was enough
I caught the downbeat
Broke it right,
Knew how to run it
Just a little bit harder--
Caught it on the upswing,
Watched it lose itself,
Let it go.

The news said it would be sunny,
Yet the sky is back by clouds.
Usually everything around me is all happy and aloud.
Yet there is not a whisper
not a sound.
Should I be worried?
Should I take that run?
Is it safe here?
Or
has something gone wrong?

The bird are chirping now,
Yet they resemble more like screams.
Why is the air now *****,  
When is has always been so clean!
The second part of my 15 year old self poetry. Haha not much has changed. Happy im finally getting back into it.

When root of pain is just too deep
Down too far to unearth
No shovel is large enough
To remove that much aching earth

Reason fears suffocation
Tendrils choking tight
Wind knocked out my lungs
With vacuums bite

Of the misery I've experienced
Significant misfortunes had
In cruel replaced existence
None too severe to keep me mad

As fragile greatness shatters
Years wanting happiness
Inconsistent searching yields
Whispers and injustice

Fingertips touching occassionally
Silhouette and gossamer answers
None shedding light on solutions
Just methods behind cancers

There is nowhere to hide the sorrow
Nowhere to run from the tears
Do you get what I'm expressing now?
Embrace heartache
Love your fears
There is no cure to the suffering

Run far away
Until the city lights fade
And the stars grow bright
Run until you hear crickets
Instead of sirens
Until your soles bleed
And your soul screams
Run until you collapse in the tall grass
Until you find your home
Here among the wildflowers
Wildflowers 🌻

body hurting
mind wandering
you lie wide awake
cuddled in comforting darkness

you wonder
why and how
while the glistening sun
burns deep wholes into your dark soul

thoughts drizzle
merging into a wild stream
that leads you
into the darkest forrest

beautiful old trees
block your vision
that is clouded to begin with
by a million dry tears

in the far distance
you spy with your redened eye
what might be a blooming glade

run
five-thousand strides through the greyish plain
thoughts pass through
as the green of the spring, brings a nascent smile
i keep my rhythm and ignore the pain
as i grow more weary
i leave it all behind
with each passing breath
and the path shows clearly
