Premium Member I Feel Pasts
I feel all pasts, As if they were yesterday, Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels. As if I were still two-tens and five, Rather than three-tens and two. Flashbulbs pulsed to songs played when youth was not yet known as youth. Is today youth? How could it be when youth was then. I still feel me in your arms, And you...

If life was a book
If life was a book, Then I would have never picked it up. I would have never kept reading. I would’ve burnt the book the second I had the chance. It’s like a book you know gets bad, but you can’t help but read on. It’s a book, it’s meant to be read. It’s life, it has to be lived. If life...

Performing our Friendship
What makes a person likeable? How they look, how they dress, or maybe who they’re friends with? I think it’s about how kind they are, their willingness to be your friend. “I guess we can hang out.” “I guess we could study together.” “I guess.” “I guess." Do you...

A Wild Heart Like Yours
A Wild Heart Like Yours My daughter, my best friend, my life, my everything you’ve shown me that it’s okay to be wild at heart, to dance through life’s storms with laughter and fire in your soul. You are my mini me, not just in the mirror’s reflection but in the tilt of your chin, the sparkle in your eyes, and the fierce, unyielding spirit that says,...

Candy Apple Blood
When we finally feel emotionally attached to someone, we tell them we LOVE them When you finally truly LOVE someone, even the smallest of their hurtful words can pierce a wound in your heart But what is LOVE? Is LOVE a feeling we only feel romantically? Is it a feeling we feel platonically? Is it a...

Pursuing and Letting Go
I run after a shadow, not quite mine, but one I want to be. Perfect in my eyes, not so perfect in others’. Trying to change because of judgment you’d never expect. In fact, it is true people whisper and hate. But years will pass, and they will learn their own flaws are just as clear. We all chase shadows, sometimes close enough, but some dreams aren’t meant to catch and that’s how...

Crayon Box Dreams
Once, colours bloomed beneath my fingertips, A world alive in every waxy line. With careless joy, I painted paper ships And skies where suns and silver moons would shine. Each shade, a song of summers never gray, Of laughter loud, of barefoot, grassy trails. But now those hues have slowly slipped away, Replaced by ticking clocks and grown-up tales. The red of courage...

Nebula of Lies
You had me for a year, I believed it all was true. Every moment, every action, how could it not be? Like a serpentine snake, you slithered inside my mind, my body, squeezing out all my trust, all I believed in you. You made me lower my guards. I believed. I wished I didn’t. You showered me with love, a cascade, a toxic waterfall, drowning me in a...

Can’t Let You Go
You left me, Even when I wanted you to stay, And expected me to move on, Within a day. I want to have you back, Yet I want to let you go, Your words hurt me, More than you know. They tell me to move on, Because that’s just how life will go, They have no idea, That I can’t let you go....

'I hate you'
'It's a pain that I caught you at a bad time It's a shame that I memorised your out-line' You were so honest about your whole lifetime, It took me too long to notice you were never truly mine. I compared you to angels in the heavens Always said you were better than any. I believed in picking off flower...

The Toll of The Bell
We beat our drums to the sound of the bell But we can not copy the sound So we'll dance, and sing in celebration For peace has finally come With the fog cleared up We can see the truth Together we wait For the islands' singing voice to sing again When the bell tolls The story will repeat again Over and over again As we sing...

Premium Member Graduation
The seed of a flower can be good or bad Don't think too much about life, and be sad Understand that the compound will pressure you a lot Fight through the feeling and land in a perfect spot Gravitate off the ground, rise through the air Make the best out of life with an unbreakable stare Have strength of a lion...

Girl, listen to your mother
He says that he loves you, but he can never say why. He says he only has eyes for you, but turns and looks every time another girl walks by. You think that you love him so much that you can hardly breathe. Not realizing it is because he has pressed up against your neck, his knee. He says that...
