I feel alone
i feel alone
in a world where i am surrounded
i am claustrophobic
suffocated
by those around me
yet i am alone
another person is shoved down my throat
my numbers build up
i smile and wave
make mistakes
be told it’s ok
but i am alone
i am hugged and reminded that i am loved
something that i know
others wish for
i receive greetings
seems ...

When it rained
Two days ago the rain was hard
It wrecked my front yard
Yet no one else gave it regard
Now the rains gone
You’d think then I’d wake up to the sun at dawn
But instead it was nothing all I can do is yawn
Because the sky is empty
What was once plenty
The rainy days I envy
Because when it rained
I may have been pained
But at least I wasn’t drained
Whe...

Take me to the doctors
Take me to the doctors
Ill take pills
Ill take them all
Just take me to the doctors and make it go away
I will have 50 diagnosis’
Take the pills
Till I get psychosis
Just take me to the doctors
Make it go away
Ill write letters every day
talk about my feeling
throw my life away
Just take me to the doctors make it go away
Ill stop eating if I h...

i wanna write you a poem
i wanna write you poems
make every word about you
turn every letter into a love song
written about 2
but the words don’t come out anymore
the ink in my pens dried
and when i go to write a word
i feel the drowsiness in my eyes
and it’s not that i don’t want to
it’s not that i don’t care
but the energy is scarce
compared to u i show nothing
i wish i could show mo...

untitled love poem
you said my smile is pretty
i’ve never smiled a lot
i always feel uncomfortable
but you made me... not
u asked to lay on my lap the other day
i know your just affectionate
but this feeling it won’t go away
just seeing you will always make my day
you are never rude
never mean
always polite
share some common interest
to my delight
but your goin...

an empty feeling
it’s an empty feeling
i have no feeling
but to have no feeling you must feel not having feeling
so we are constantly feeling
and this numb emptiness
is the absence of emotion
is the only emotion
that can be felt by me
it feels like i’m chocking
that feeling before you cry
is this the feeling before i die
i hope this means i’m about to die

wish i was bad at maths again
i was never good at maths
but these numbers stick to me
and i cant shake them off
usually addition takes forever
but now i can tell you in a minute
what an apple + a carrot equates
and every number is running through my head
wish i could run as fast as them
because maybe then
i would still be bad at maths

Joke
Every laugh
every joke
every compliment meant to sound mean
builds up
and i know the joke
i wrote the joke
every day i play the joke
but when its the one thing that makes me me
the one thing that lets me free
something that i have given you the privilege to see
that is not a joke

Fear
Fear
Engulfs me like a fire
Spreads across any inch of skin that dares lie on my body
Its smoke reaches my lunges
Choking me
I fear I can not go on
I can no longer tell if this fire is true
Is it a metaphor I made or is it my current state
I fear I will never know

The frozen girl
She walks upon the cold earth
'Unfair!' I must shout 'Unjust!'
For a beauty of such warmth
I watch slowly freeze over
But when she is sorrounded
by candle flicker and fire
the ice melts
her warmth is shown again
And how I wish to be a fire
even just a spark
the reason that saves her
from the earth cold and dark

A love letter
This is a poem for a girl who doesnt know I'm in love
Her smile shines like the sun
Across her face freckles run
Her hair sits neatly just below her shoulders
Wish I would've told her
But now shes kissing her
And dating her
And saying it doesnt matter
And i'm gonna keep wishing i'm for her
But first loves are supposed to break your heart
So I'm gonna lie just to sav...

The thought of death
I first met him in my tears
he was disguised as late nights and hormones
he said he'd never return
he was not for me
but even with this promise i lay in fear
but the next day he returned
the sunlight refused to let him diguise himself as he did the previous night
he snuck up on me
whispered everything i feared
told me he could end it all
and then he slowly took o...

Maybe its not so bad?
*this is a little bit happier than usual i guess idk when i wrote this i was just vibing i guess*
maybe not everything is so bad
yeah im still sad
but I cant be mad
Because the sun is on my skin
Im writing poetry
And drinking tea
So right now i think i win
And while tonight i may cry
currently im not asking myself why

God vs Satan
*I AM NOT IN ANY WAY SUPPORTING THE IDEA OF SATAN I AM SIMPLY QUESTIONING BELIEFS IVE BEEN RAISED WITH*
*TW: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE*
If God is real he is the enemy
Destroyer of many
Why is satan always seen badly
For questioning authority
for now he just does his job, doesn't he?
And why do we blame him?
When God gave him, the power
That lets him tower
And satan did one ...

how do you see me?
I want to know haw you see me
Do you see my stomach at first is that how you see me
or is the little bit of fat on my chin is that how you see me
Is it my thighs is that what you first see of me
my chubby face is that what is seen of me
is it every crease that i spend hours of my day staring at, is that the part you see
in my eyes thats all i can see of me
and i need to know ...

'it'
Sometimes i cant take it
I want to break it
What is it
Well i bet most of you would know it
You always want to throw it
I havent found a name for it
But let me explain it
Its that feeling of being numb
Its that feeling when you want to run
When death seems so close
When death seems so far
When life is not as fun
When you feel worthless
Then suddenly powerful
