There's more
Zoe G Jul 2019
There's more
and we know this for sure
because we can't see everything
with one glance

Darkness
Zoe G Jul 2019
When night creeps in
and you are all alone
do you ever wonder
who
will
rescue
you
?

Time
Zoe G Jul 2019
Time flies but where to? Where do my seconds, minutes, and hours go? But in reality is the time mine, do I possess it?
No, rather
I borrow it.
I borrow this flying time
and soon I must return it

Silence
Zoe G Jul 2019
When you have nothing to do
your thoughts take over you
Jul 2019 · 174
the same person
Zoe G Jul 2019
When I left
I thought about you constantly
within my memory there were only
images
of you
which is nothing new-
it happens often
right when things get better
I think of you
of us

Past
Zoe G Jul 2019
I remember writing a poem about war
wasn't much of a poem
more of mixed emotions
poured out on a piece of paper
with no compass to follow
so it made no sense
and that's okay
because thoughts don't have to be
perfect
to be



important
Your thoughts matter lol i was going somewhere totally different until i got to the last line

So this is what we have become
only daughters or sons
sometimes that's all it needs to be
for one to become free
from within

No name

What sad songs do to you
Zoe G Mar 2019
For the longest time you loved me
So what happened now?
What happened now?

You loved me for the longest time
So what happened now?
Can we figure it out?

Cause I still love you
I'm still gonna love you
I'll still stay
Even if you go away

Can we figure this out?
Can we figure this out?
Cause you loved me for the longest time
Then so suddenly you changed your mind
and left me in my own place
In my own state
Without you

But I thought you said
I was your everything

Now you're gone
Now I'm here
but I still love you my dear
So can we figure this out?
Because I haven't moved on yet
I haven't moved on yet
I haven't moved on
I haven't moved
I haven't
I....

Ocean
Zoe G Mar 2019
If the sand meets the sea
will you cry softly with me
If the ocean stays blue
will you remain loyal and true
If the sky floats above
will you forever be my love
even on my worst days

When will
Zoe G Mar 2019
When will the morning come
When will the day start
When will my pain

hhhmm...
Zoe G Mar 2019
This is
and
that
can be

is it
truth
or
reality

walking in
your
darkness
with no
real
clarity

and lies
become
your charity

yet
to
others,
with
blind
vision

you still
see
Some people are so confused in life. You and others may try to help them, but they ignore you as they keep digging a hole for themselves. To others, they look completely fine, yet where no one can see, they are actually falling apart. Yet you know that they are crumbling because of the values they set for themselves, or maybe no values at all-and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, because they won't listen.

Someone's Hurting
Zoe G Mar 2019
Spring day
new start
fresh feeling
in my heart

Hope for today
only one smile away
but I know
somewhere
in the world
someone's
hurting
today

So I take a moment to pray
and throughout my way
I'll think of them
and hope that life get better
someday
no
today
because I know that feeling
being boxed in
by
everything

I'd like to think
Zoe G Mar 2019
I'd like to think
that I'm brave
that I'm not afraid
that I'm not everyone's maid
cleaning up their dismay

I'd like to think
that I'm free
from misery
and that darkness that always returns
to me and only me

I'd like to think
that I love
and live a life of a dove
with hope
that could only be found
from above

I'd like to believe that I'm me
but that's hard to do
when what you can't live
what you believe

Sitting at the Bottom
Zoe G Mar 2019
When everything goes
wrong
you begin to
see
who
you
are

The darkness
reveals the
light

Sometimes the
light
is just a
grey
area
that
can
become
brighter

We all have stuff that needs to be worked on. Every-one-of-us

our time is now, in the

up, over

A lie?
Zoe G Feb 2019
A forced day
a forced way  
to show someone how much
you care
a way just to get it out there
in the open air
A fake display
of fake relay
of fantasized stories
that meant nothing
yesterday

Conversation
Zoe G Feb 2019
The way it goes is as so

Time is given to be dragged out
sometimes you have
nothing
to talk about
and time goes on
with meaningless
phrases
as silence has
always captivated the ages

Or when you have something
meaningful to say
to someone who's  
purpose is beyond
your vocabulary
somehow
in
someway
time seems to
seamlessly
slip
away

History
Zoe G Feb 2019
We learn about
back
then
and what
happened
how we
changed
grew
fell short
failed
gave up
and
tried
again
learned
discriminated
accepted
unified
fought
agreed
and how it all came to be
So when they look back on us, what will
they
see?

Friend?
Zoe G Feb 2019
Little girl
blonde hair
asked me
how I
would define
a friend
and her question went
unanswered
as my mind became a
piece of paper
with nothing to say
and nothing left for later

Hey There
Zoe G Jan 2019

I'm still here
I'm still listening
I haven't gone away

not here to stay
I'm still
here
for now
so go on

Guess
Zoe G Dec 2018
I pull him closer
my head is on his shoulder
he's stroking my hand
and I tell him we were meant to be
we can recite each other's
wishes
on command
we know each other's secrets
and we have plans
to make each other better
sitting on the rocks
some place far away
watching the waves
crash
that day
in my dreams
Dec 2018 · 536
Is it true?
Zoe G Dec 2018
that it will all pass in due time
then
one
day
rain or shine
you won't
feel
pain
and
you will be
free
yes, you will be
fine

Blank Piece of Paper
Zoe G Dec 2018
HELLO?
Is anyone there?
You write to it
but it doesn't care
it's simply a
blank piece of paper
lying there
staring at your
soul
in despair
there's nothing it
can say
there's nothing it
can do
to help you
overcome
what you are
going through
instead
You have to take
a stand
and make something
new
of this blank
piece of paper
that was handed to
you
This is how I felt when I first started writing poems

Feelings

Please don't be mad

Please don't feel hurt

Please don't hide your feelings

Things...
Zoe G Dec 2018
Things
weren't supposed to be this difficult
Things
weren't supposed to be this hard
Things
weren't supposed to leave us breathless
drowning in our scars
Things
weren't supposed to hurt us
leaving us alone
Things
just weren't supposed to happen
but
they
happened
in
my  
home

Why?
Zoe G Dec 2018
I need to
SCREAM
but
I
just
can't
I
tried
to
let
go
I
tried
to
rant
but
I
just
can't
Zoe G Dec 2018
In front of me
everybody, everybody
walks in groups
they can't stand the
silence
but I like it with
just
me
---

Everybody, everybody
has their
first
day
at something

Everybody, everybody
takes their
last
breath

Everybody, everybody
has a reason for living
but what if I haven't
found my reason
it yet
Zoe G Dec 2018
I hold on to everything  
yet I can't seem to let anything go
Broken shards of
memories  
that mock me
And fight my mind.

At night these thoughts  
destroy me and take over my soul
And suddenly,
I find myself
Quiet and all alone

"It's okay to tell me everything,
Yes,every single thought"
they say.
But how will that help when these
Troubling emotions  
Won't go away

So here I am again
at night  
Afraid of myself,
afraid of the light
And suddenly I find myself
Quiet  
And out of control

I feel like a lonely star
in the sky.
In this life I once
felt hope but
it became too
difficult
to repair from the
troubling emotions!

My smile hides these
tears,
and you only know
my cover,
But I just want something  
better,
to not feel this terror.

I get broken each day,
Keeping these  
emotions in my core,
I wish I'd find  
Myself very soon.

I won't practice  
my smile in the mirror
Or make my fake smiles
More clear
I'm  tired of living behind  the mask
With these TROUBLING EMOTIONS!
I hope while reading this you are able to see both sides as one.

Alone

I feel
                            so
                                 small
and
                              my
                               ­      thoughts
feel                        like
                       ­               nothing
at
                               all

yet
                              so
                                    many
loving
people
are                               around
                   me
Is it possible to feel this way?

Soon I'll See You
Zoe G Dec 2018
Isn't it
fascinating
to think
that we aren't that far away
44 minutes
and 1 day
till I'll say
I've been waiting to see
you
my
friend
I find it interesting that someone you want to see or spend time with could be so close, yet out of reach for whatever reason.

I Believe It

Everybody, Everybody but me
Zoe G Dec 2018
I'm very quiet
as I sit down at my desk
I take my pencil by the hand
and it begins to dance against the paper
and words come to
life
as I write a new
poem

I'm very quiet as
I focus on writing
while
everyone
joins their
friends
in
discussion
and
gossip

"Quiet everyone!"
the teacher yells out
in frustration, to
everybody
everybody
but
me

I Bought You a Ticket
Zoe G Dec 2018
To take
                    a trip
              inside my
mind
                     and see what
                         it feels
                             like for some
                time
                                           Do you
                 feel pain
                                           or do you
             feel joy
                                                                          Do you
                                    feel complete
             or destroyed?
                                  You asked me how
                                                                                   I am feeling
                                      and now you
              know
                                           the road
                                                              that I choose
                   to go

                                           So you ask me how
                I am
                          and I say
                                                                     "I'm fine"
              but now
                                you
                 know
                                         the
                true
                                           answer
from deep inside
The scattered words represent the mind and how different parts of the brain are intertwined together, but in the end, they still form the mind.

Wonder
Zoe G Dec 2018
How
great can You be?
to
create
whole galaxies
shape the seas
and form life
as far as my eyes can see
to
move the mountains
name the stars
and form the earth
with a slight movement of your arms
to
uphold the mind
the way we think
knowing our
hearts
deepest desires
and composing beauty
in the fire
to
know the number of hairs
on my head
to what we need to say
before we lay down our head
to
remembering every single name



and
still
love
me?
I truly believe that God cares for me

The Way We Talk
Zoe G Dec 2018
We talk through
smiles
When we pass in the hallway
we smile
when we stand in the stairway
so close to one another
we still smile
and we don't utter a single
word
we let the curves of our faces
speak
for us
and we understand
one another
more
intimately

The Friendless
Zoe G Dec 2018
Deep Inside Thoughts
Empty room
Lonely room
One window room
Four wall room
One door room
Will you escape?
The pressure of this place
is caving in
Yet it would be a sin
to just leave
and walk away
When the room in trying to
communicate

Your longing feelings
are overwhelming
because everyone seems to have a companion
but you

Each
empty
lonely
room
has a friend
So why are we longing then?
Zoe G Dec 2018
I went away and missed the pain of yesterday
missed the tears you cried today

War Within
Zoe G Dec 2018
You don't cry in war
You don't just find what you were looking for
Because the person that loved you
might not care about
you
anymore

So why do you keep score of life
if its just a bore
to watch the strife go
on and on
like an overplayed song

That's what they say
but I think it's ok to cry
and say goodbye to yesterday
because I'm not counting
your score
