Reflections
ok okay Aug 2019
Distorted reflections of each other
Broken glass shows our true colors
We are more or less the same as everyone around us, but we are just distorted versions of an ideal that no one can achieve.
117 · Dec 2023
Maybe I Will Smile :)
ok okay Dec 2023
I do not usually smile
But when I see you
It is hard not to
Because you are like a dream come true
You have a picturesque smile
And eyes as bright as the moon
You are beautiful
I wish the whole world knew

ok okay Nov 2022
When I see you
Standing there
What can I do
But fall in love
Once again
How pleasant it is
To be falling for you

Paradox
ok okay Oct 2024
His head was empty
Yet filled with doubt
He was a paradox
Trapped beneath the clouds
116 · Dec 2024
Long for the Moon
ok okay Dec 2024
It should be calm
Waves crash at the shore
The sea simmers silently
Sand sifts through my fingers
Leaving shells and other gems
The hills look haunted in the distance
They tower by the sea
Sunlight waits to set
The wind is soft and forgiving
Whispering that I should fall asleep
It should be calm
Yet my heart pounds
Longing for the moon
115 · Jul 2019
Hmm
ok okay Jul 2019
Hmm
I don't want to be in the afterlife thinking
'The biggest mistake I made in life was when I killed myself'
That's why I hope there is no afterlife

ok okay Feb 2021
I love you
Most poems end with this
But I think it should be known
I love you heejeong
You are the light in my life
Its funny because
I want to be strong for you
But really you are strong for me
You see what I cannot
And set my dreams free
It hurts when you hurt
Because I love you so much
But together we can find purposes
That we never thought of
Happy Valentines
Heejeong
We can be forever
Gonna give this to my gf, what do u guys think?? Can I improve

Untitled
ok okay May 2021
I see insanity
It is all in my head
I spoke profanity
Like an dead angel, I bled
I feel the nothingness
Like my humanity, I fled
Poison me
Feed me led
For at the end of the day
I am dead
114 · Nov 2023
Lost in Time
ok okay Nov 2023
Hatred
How could I become

Dim the lights out
To make me feel numb

Tears mixed with madness
Are the only way out

Will escaping this nightmare
Bring the other dreams back

Time
Will you wait for me or will I succumb?

ok okay Oct 2023
She would rather be alone
Than be with me
Is this the loneliest a man can be?
113 · May 2021
Untitled
ok okay May 2021
The melancholy of a wandering mind cannot stay forever
The light always seeps through
No matter how much you try to stop it
113 · Jan 2024
Read my Mind
ok okay Jan 2024
I find it hard to talk sometimes
As if the thoughts had escaped my mind
Past the endless cerulean skies
And through the knots of time
Instead, I write
So that you can understand
What is going on inside
Sometimes I just wish that you could read my mind
113 · Aug 2024
Made my Day
ok okay Aug 2024
Your words allure in the depth of night
From my phone you are my light
Winter came and brought the cold
But suddenly my heart feels warm
Worries and troubles slip away
These night talks have made my day
110 · Feb 2024
Who are You?
ok okay Feb 2024
A stranger in my room
If only then I knew
110 · Feb 2024
Live Not to Remember
ok okay Feb 2024
I live not to remember
Or else these days will repeat
The memories and their echoes will never leave
Spring has become hollow
Like a lost fever dream
Maybe all this time just means nothing
And nothing has become me
Some days feel endless
As if sleep will not come
Other days feel too precious
To accept they are gone
Live not just for the moment
But the moments yet to come
Or you will feel stranded with no one to love
110 · Nov 2023
Shallow Tides
ok okay Nov 2023
Shallow tides
And lonely waves
An empty beach
Shone on by the gleaming white
May these nothing days
Lead to something night's?

In time will heal
The tides will change
For all I have learned
Is that nothing stays
ok okay Dec 2023
Loneliness is an empty street
Void of life
The street lights fleet
Houses crumble and rot away
Empty nights make nothing days
Where nothing is
Something will grow
But for now
This night will haunt my soul
108 · Jan 2024
Desolate December
ok okay Jan 2024
Desolate December
Can't seem to remember
Death loomed the bend
Life could not mend
Darkness took the moon away
It stole my heart and consumed the day
Now the year ends
And as hollow as it feels
I can see light on the horizon
I hope it will change
108 · Mar 2020
He Tripped Through Life
ok okay Mar 2020
He tripped through life
But his highs were exquisite
Beautiful at heart
And stubborn by nature
He could draw stories
And paint from his imagination
Maybe this is not real
That would make it easier to explain
The things he endured
And the toxicity the world gave him
Maybe he dreams of poetry

It really hurts too
Because everything feels so slow
Until the moment has passed
And we live for those moments
And I know those moments are now in the past
For we have parted our separate ways
108 · Aug 2024
Missing
ok okay Aug 2024
It's so easy to understand others
Yet when I look in the mirror
I see an empty picture
108 · Sep 2024
1:21 am
ok okay Sep 2024
Darkness has permeated my space
I wish to be an astronaut
And leave this empty place
There is nothing here but echoes
One day my mind might leave without a trace

Lying alone in my bed
A dream away from peace
I see nothing
And feel less
I wonder what life means

I think it is time for change
Maybe when my blinds are open
There will be a sunny day
108 · Oct 2022
Untitled
ok okay Oct 2022
Hollow was his empty heart
Something missing
Where did it go
Nobody seems to know

Somber was her broken smile
She lay immersed in the coldness that she creates
A shadow in the darkness left alone
Left to fade
Into the abyss
What would it feel like to cease to exist?
thinkin bout the past
107 · May 2020
Stunned
ok okay May 2020
This feeling is new to me
It stuns my mind
And lets me be
Empty hope
And lonely words
Is what I used to be
But now I can breathe
Make amends to the anxiety
And make sense of the hollow dreams
There is much more to me
Maybe in ways that you could only see
And when my words don't flow
Just know
Its because
My mind is stunned
By your beauty
ok okay Apr 2020
I think I get it now
I can't even see the stars
Although there is no need to wonder
I am sure they are as bright they have always been
They are just hiding
Beyond my roof
And beyond the clouds
I doubt they will go anywhere anytime soon

Acceptance was my first lesson
I have never been one to meditate
Although somehow
My mind has brought me to an understanding
The light should not be rejected
For how else would a flower bloom
I think its sad how people trap them in their room
It is beautiful
How we live
And how we love
I hate hatred
And I often hate myself
But then I realise
That dwelling will get me nowhere

Another lesson I learned was about frustration
Not everything will come your way
From my experiences
I have gained friends
Lost friends
And sometimes lost myself
But even through all of that
I learned how important it is to never neglect yourself
If you only live for others
Then what will happen when they are gone?

I learned recently about taking initiative
Anxiety is the reason my nails are short
The reason why I shake my leg
And the reason why nobody else cares
Or at least that is what I used to think in my head
But over time it came to my mind
That I could not blame anxiety for all my problems
Life is cruel
But its probably not as cruel as I thought it was

My hardest lesson was not to dwell in my own dissatisfaction
Depression was the word I used to describe the void in my soul
I used to think that nothing could ever possibly get better
And that it was better to die young instead of dying of old age
The chemicals in my mind are still changing
So when I am feeling down
I always try to acknowledge that

Writing has been therapeutic for me
It has changed the way I view the world
For both good and bad
I have met people on here who have helped me on the darkest days
So I say to anyone in need
There are people on here who want to listen
I want to listen
Lets all try get through this mess o.o
ok okay Jan 2020
Somewhere beneath the shadows
Lies nothing but the hollow
A sort of sullen emptiness
I wonder why it follows
Maybe it just wants to be alive
And to dream the same as I
Maybe we could swap places
Honestly
I never really envied life
103 · Feb 2024
Untitled
ok okay Feb 2024
I don't want to hurt anyone
Maybe that just means I will end up hurting everyone
ok okay Jan 2024
The silent nights are the longest
It feels as if time stands still
The hush of the void is deafening
It lets not you sleep
Leaving your eyes stranded to watch as the night goes by
At this hour the mind wanders
For most rest has come
But for some time echoes
Endlessly
It repeats
Again
Again
Again
Again
As if everything was predetermined
102 · May 2020
Late Night Vibes
ok okay May 2020
I love this vibe
Rain hits the windows
As cars pass by
The music is booming
I feel so alive
We sit in silence
And watch the pretty night sky
The thoughts are gone
Just for a moment
But the moment feels right
102 · Jul 2020
Untitled
ok okay Jul 2020
Everything is collapsing
And these words only keep me somewhat stable
101 · Oct 2022
Untitled
ok okay Oct 2022
Recently I've been failing to see the colour
Like an old movie something seemed to be missing
The lucsious greens no longer appeared
The vibrant pink petals left my vision
All I could see was the harshness of the grey winter skies
But as the seasons changed
So did my mind
I could see the colour once again
On a day like this
Everything makes sense
There is not one doubt in my mind
Happiness is bliss
101 · May 2020
Empty Eyes
ok okay May 2020
With empty eyes
What could you see
The man in my mirror lacks stability
His hair is long
And his mind is dreamy
He wants to starve himself
Because he enjoys the feeling
Black clothes are his favorite
Because he thought they might stare
He dyed his hair blue
Because he thought they might care
He tells himself things that most people would fear
He thinks hes the lowest
Because his mind never leaves

With empty eyes like mine
It makes it hard to see
100 · Jan 2024
What Do You See?
ok okay Jan 2024
I stare at this empty mirror
Standing still as a picture
Watching my rugged figure
Eyes can tell great stories
I wait for someone to read mine

Silence echoes and overwhelms
Hollow walls surround me
They will break down
For now I wait for sound
The chirps of birds to clear my head
The hush of rain to keep me sane

Time feels endless
It will deceive
The night will not leave

Darkness claimed my shadow
Leaving me to fight this night alone
The air feels dense
It suffocates
I feel lost in my own home

Maybe you will not understand
Your mirror may not look the same
You could be glowing
With a smile bright as day
Ready for the world to come your way
Sometimes I find it hard to talk, so I write instead. I don't understand how people move on fast. I feel lost all the time. But I am trying my best and I know I can improve. Thank you for everyone who reads my work. It makes me happy.
100 · Aug 2020
Its Terrifying
ok okay Aug 2020
Its terrifying
When everyone goes away
Because the thoughts and the fears
All want to stay
The blue skies turn to gray
And the light dims away
All for you to watch
While your mind goes astray
99 · Aug 2020
Discord?
ok okay Aug 2020
Thinking of starting a server on discord where people can post poems, thoughts, talk, etc... message if interested
99 · Sep 2024
Finding Peace
ok okay Sep 2024
silence lay beneath the stars
A lone puddle looked back at me with deceiving eyes
Who am I?
My shadow never shows at night
A part of me lost
Longing
I wonder
As I look up towards the stars
I speak
'Take me away
The silence is becoming too loud'
97 · Sep 2024
Ghost
ok okay Sep 2024
I am a ghost
A shadow without a host
Silence echoes in this room
A lone reflection shows my frame
What it lacks in colour
Is succumbed by nightfall

I wonder if you can see ghosts
Maybe you see right through them
97 · Sep 2024
Close
ok okay Sep 2024
Life can be truly terrible
But beautiful too
Last night the sky was teary
And lost was the moon
Yet I felt you closer
As you tapped on my roof
The sky is crying w me
97 · Oct 2024
Bee with me
ok okay Oct 2024
Silence echoes
Fallen leaves
I miss the happy buzzy bees
It is actually spring here, YAY
ok okay May 8
The sky is a collage of asymmetries
Dyed with rose
Spotted with lavender
scattershot with white fluff
The impending grey is yet to arrive
The luminous moon has come early
Calling
Longing
I fall
My eyes hypnotized by the sky
95 · Jun 2020
Seamless
ok okay Jun 2020
Seamlessly
The rain has poured for years
There would be stars up in the sky
If they all did not disappear
The coldness never goes away
No warm jumper would understand

Is it night time
If the sun never comes
To dry away your tears
Thinking of writing a short story about someone so lost in his mind he cant escape
95 · Jun 2019
Sometimes
ok okay Jun 2019
Sometimes I don't know how to finish what I have
Oh no it happened again
I think it starts with s idk
93 · Jan 16
Lust to Love
ok okay Jan 16
I don't count the minutes when I am with you
I count the hours
Because with you
Time disappears
Evening turns to dusk
Lust turns to love
92 · Nov 2023
Falling with the Rain
ok okay Nov 2023
I find it hard to talk about life sometimes
Instead, I watch as time rots by
Fleeting days
Turn to forever nights

A hollow madness permeates my room
Nothing will stay forever
I like to say
'Just look at how the seasons change'
But for now, I fall with the pouring rain
Every dream is a nightmare when you must wake up
92 · Mar 2020
Lost
ok okay Mar 2020
Somewhere down a river
Past the land that no one walks
Lies nothing but a mossy meadow
And a man who's clearly lost
Silence puts his mind at ease
Flowers make him grow a smile
Peaceful
But scary
This place makes him wary
Will this man ever find his way out?
Maybe it wasn't because of its location. Maybe it's all in his head. Lost in his mind and lonely in a crowd.
ok okay Jul 2019
Life is unfair
Or so they say
The blessing of ignorance
Never came my way
Some find happiness
Others find pain
And a few others lose their mind in the rain
A rope is seductive
When the realization comes
A hopeless sensation makes you want to feel numb

Life is unfair
Or so they say
Shaky hands can't tie nooses
And anxiety stays
Thinking of writing a book called 'Shaky hands can't tie Nooses' and this is the opener.
90 · Nov 2020
No Longer Falling
ok okay Nov 2020
I'm no longer falling
Now I'm falling in love
90 · Jun 2020
fly away butterfly :(
ok okay Jun 2020
When the butterflies come
And flutter wings so young
When their paradise falls
Will they hit the ground too
89 · Nov 2020
Lower and lower...
ok okay Nov 2020
Stone cold
The words you spoke
But you didn't even know
And no one else seemed to either
Drifting
Is where my mind was
But no one ever asked
And now it continues to drift
Further.....
Down

And

Down...

Lower

And

Lower.
Into the depths of my favorite fantasies
And the border of my dullest nightmares

I fear myself like I fear the empty midnight sky
No stars to connect
No friends to create
Just an empty abyss
Its nice at first
The peace
And the quiet
But the quiet never leaves
Until its too loud to bare

I don't write disorderly
I just write how I feel
And right now I feel messy
My mind is as messy as the words before me
But they are words nonetheless

I want to impress people
I want to show how great I can be
I want to love myself like how others love me
Through all this pain and hurt
It will shape who I am
And I will be better for it
87 · Mar 2020
I am Fine
ok okay Mar 2020
'Are you okay?'

I am tired of falling
I stumble through time
Lose connections with others
And watch days go by
I am waiting for someone
When will they arrive

Ask me again?

I am fine
87 · Aug 2020
Mellow Meadows
ok okay Aug 2020
Do you ever just look at something
With not a thought on your mind
But your lovely blank stare
Can see straight past the blue sky
And over the mellow meadows which give color to dreams
Over the infinite skyscrapers that grow but do not leave
Do you stare at the trees which may not have long before fall
And not even have one single thought at all
