Count 20

I'll run again at 20
If that's what you want
I can play in the rain on the asphalt
Without the soothing petrichor
If 20 minutes without your shadow ever existed
I'll cry my eyes out
Then laugh again
No longer able to use metaphors
In romantic stories
Sarcastic erases so much
Let's breathe a sigh of relief
We're no longer at the end of the road
But truly at the end
Not waving in a single word
Turning back into isolation

It's a cry for attention
it's as loud as loud can be
~ how many ways to ask

the missing piece

how do people carry on after loss?
it doesn't matter what type of loss
a person, a relationship, a friendship
a sport, a job, an animal
it's never been any easier
i've felt more types of loss than some can imagine
and yet they all hurt equally
in their own ways
maybe my brain is the problem
it can't tell the difference 
between a small loss and a large one
each one still feels like a part of me is stolen
ripped right out of me
leaving a big gaping hole
most people say it'll fill
slowly mend itself back together
but i feel like mine only grows bigger
more pieces taken before any can be placed back
i want the hole to be mended
i'm tired of feeling this pain
but it only grows
maybe i'm cursed to always feel like this
maybe it's my destiny
but man it'd feel great
to just be whole for once

Resist

I start the day with a simple hello 

I can see he’s ignoring it, though 

Good intentions but now I’m low 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

I make a request to stop by 

But he’s too private of a guy 

I hang my head low and sigh 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

These conversations feel so hollow 

We once were deep, but now shallow 

Now I’m off to cry and wallow 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

I must not ask for a date 

I won’t get one at this rate 

It must be my fate to wait 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

Independence is all he will seek 

True feelings he will never speak 

This situation looks mighty bleak 

He’s always gonna resist 

 

 

I want to show how I care 

But I know I mustn’t dare 

For he is one to easily scare 

He’s always gonna resist

Silent Scream

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart screams silently in pain,
Dry tears still drown my fragile soul,
My grief is small yet vast as rain,
My cheeks stay parched though hot tears roll.

My throat cries out in voiceless will,
I’m crushed by love too dark to care,
Your gentle hand was made to kill—
You broke my heart beyond repair.


per biology:

am i alive?
what classifies something as alive?

    respiration
i am breathing
but just barely
trying to capture any air i can between sobs
    growth
i am growing 
it becomes increasingly difficult 
recognizing myself in the mirror every day
and believing the next age i'm turning 
    excretion
i am excreting 
i sweat when i do pretty much anything
even though i'm always cold
is there something wrong with me?
or am i just overthinking again?
    reproduction
i am not reproducing 
i can
but i'm not sure i want to 
i wouldn't be a good mom
i'm worried i'd be too much like my own
    metabolism
i am metabolizing 
i always claimed it to be fast but maybe
it's since it doesn't have much to work with
    movement 
i am moving 
my body does it without me knowing
or being conscious 
it just moves
    response to stimuli
i am responding
i respond too much 
too dramatically 
too sensitively 

i fit all the criteria 
so i guess i am alive 
i'm just not living

Loneliness

My heart hurts
My soul is tired
Cant feel the earth
I’m uninspired 

I’m on my own
I’m all alone
In the unknown
Turned into stone

Left in the cold
No hand to hold
I have no control
I can’t be consoled

I’m lost in the crowd
Where the silence is loud
And a dark purple cloud 
Covers me in shrouds

I can no longer pretend
No, the blues never end 
My heart’s on the floor
I can’t be happy anymore

Tears fall on my bed
My whole life’s in shreds
I’m hanging by a thread
Maybe I’ll feel better when I’m dead?

you'll cry me an onion
i didn't mean to upset you so ~
multiple layers shed endless tears

Lived too many Lives

my body ache and feel so old
my soul torn and winter's cold
i've lived too many lives

they say, "teenage is the best years of life
but carelessness can bring you demise"
lost in the petty things of life
i lost a precious chapter of my life

they say, "care for each other, care for the poor
but care even more about your mother"
forgot to tell her how much i love her
i still cry thinking about her last smile

they say, "love is a game
you should play it with caution and care"
i let the insecurity clouds surround my world
so i lost one more embracing touch

i want to set myself free
to adrift on the vast sea
or fly in the sky like any bird
i've lived too many lives, i'm tired of breathing

a strange individual with pink hair

	i think that even if i were to change,
nothing else would
	i think there will always be something
wrong with me
no matter how normal i look
	why should anyone recognize me anyway? my bright pink hair
doesn’t make me less dull
	i try to ignore the laughs, the stares, the outward thoughts of people thinking,
“what a weird *!”
	i really cannot blame them;
i think the same thing
	do these people really not care what anyone thinks of them?
	perhaps i am strange in the way that my brain allows me to 
still think with individuality
	i want to go home where everyone tells me they hate my stupid hair instead of
just staring at me until i figure it out

Premium MemberThose Two Dates

Those two dates were the greatest in my life,
Until you decided our chemistry was a lie.
Those two dates lead to a period of strife
In which you eventually made me cry.

Those two dates were of so much value,
Until you decided what we have can just die.
Those two dates made me feel it was true
That you too could eventually for me try.

Those two dates made me feel so alive,
Until you decided we can no longer try.
Those two dates made me feel I could thrive
Alongside you until the day you die.

Those two dates are engraved in my heart,
Until you realize we can someday again try.
Those two dates of ours before we fell apart,
Will always be why I'll never die.

Premium MemberWhat People Call Me

Most all have known me, a few know me well.
Ask people about me, here’s what they’d tell.
Sometimes when happy or sad I appear.
Here’s who I am, these statements make it clear.

I may happen while you’re cheering out loud,
Your child is succeeding, and you’re so proud.
Or in a moment when there is no doubt,
Suddenly your joy may bring me about.

In a time of sadness when life seems bleak,
You may notice as I run down your cheek.
Your heart is so heavy, it may just burst,
Here is the best clue, it should have been first.

When your loss is something or someone dear,
Everyone knows me and calls me a tear.

To forgive is human too

Of what use again is my tear to you?
I plead, I cry, I try to soothe with care,
Yet you ignore me, and call me a fraud.
I know I betrayed your wholehearted love—
But if to err is human, then to forgive is human too.

Moments

Today my mom kiss me , She said she would miss me 
I was shocked, because I lost !!
I lost something precious 
That is mysterious.
I lost every moment 
With my family 
That make everyone calmly 
I always waste my time in study and study 
I never go with my family 
A human heart deadly
I am missing my all moments 
But I invest that time in hardwork 
But didn't get fruit of it 
Isn't it a sign of blaster !!
But whatever it is !!
Now onwards I would value my family 
I love them happily
