Build

“build”
“Miscommunication leads to complication”
talk to me
    tell me how you feel 
    whats on your mind

stop letting the past hold you back
 on something 
that could be amazing 

Just like you i come from pain 
built in pain, stored pain
Pain buried in deep.
But i'm here, openly, willingly 
trying to give my all to you.

Ready to let all guards down
i let go and you let go too
let me show you something great

Dreams

¨dreams ¨
everyones dreams seem so productive.
makes me feel like mine are so small.
not a big accomplishment to everyone.
not something i can hang up on a wall.
if i show you what i've made of myself you wouldn't jump for joy. it's not a degree,
does not come in a certificate,
so how would i show it to you?
if my dreams dont come on paper will you still be proud?

Hopes For Losers

when youve been sad for this long you become used to it

after awhile you learn not to 
get so excited about the ¨good days¨ like you used to 

you get used to being let down, disappionted,humiliated.
ive learned to stop letting people in
stop allowing them to know who i am
letting them strip away the little pieces of identity i have left.

you have to learn to build up a wall.
one people cant see thru.
one so strong and sturdy no one can possibly break it down

save yourself the betrayal
Dont get your hopes up.

Maybe Theres Hope

¨the sad book again?¨
yes dad the sad book again
oh how often i find myself buried in pages deep

¨why dont you ever talk about it?¨
i cant.
i desperately want to,
attempt to.

but instead i stand
tongue twisted, tied up in a knot
all the words i dream and wish to day 
unable to escape
the poor excuse of a voice i so call have

i think the first time he used his hands to cover my mouth
my brain got in habit of staying mut
leaving all the unspoken words and thoughts
in my head desperate to find a way out

desperate to find a way for you to understand
to comprehend the chaos that is so called my mind

so i pick up this pencil in hope 
that these words will hope
in hope that through my poetry 
you just might catch a glimpse of my pain

Angiush

“anguish”
you broke me in ways i could never explain
left a hole in an already broken heart 
taught me unhealthy habits 
& diminished my self confidence 

i never want to feel this again
allow someone in like this again
Never.

you're long gone but i can't get 
your hurt out of my head.
What do i do with your memory..

Love

¨love¨
i don't remember falling in love with you.
but i remember the first time i feared losing you
       told myself i wouldn't let you in and here i am
arms open, willingly allowing you to learn my past
willingly handing you my heart
and everything else along with it
no tear you make me cry can change my perspective on you
to me your like an angel in the sky
and it's terrifying me.
im handing you all the keys to my heart
what's your next move?

Wishing Upon a Star

¨wishing upon a star ¨
there are days i wish i could go to you. wait for you
find you
arms open
waiting for me.
accepting me.
have you actually listen to to me.
help me like you're supposed to.
no judgement, just straight love.
but some things are just
meant to stay a wish.

Sticky Note Thoughts

whens the last time i was genuinely happy?

when you held me close
so tight that i felt nothing but love
the whole world around me and all its problems vanished 
but then theres that switch in my brain
that switch that turns it all around

made me realize you werent holding me
i held YOU.

at the time i needed you most i was YOUR support
helped you through one of the most difficult times of ¨your¨ life

weird how my brain works right?
my last time ¨genuinely happy¨
was helping you cope
while i was drowning in my own sadness

every muscle hurt from all the crying i did
i needed you but that wasnt important to you

you got the support you needed while i stayed here 
stuck in a rut
in a never ending cycle of pain

but at least i got to imagine
how it might feel if you cared.

Plotline

its always 
¨you have such a bad attitude¨
never 
¨how come¨

instead always 
¨you were always so happy wondered what happened¨

LIFE happened
YOU happened
i went from long lasting laughter
to permanent darkness

i hope you soon see im not that happy child once used to pretend to be
theres a downfall to every story
heres the start to mine.

Questions

"when was the first time you were depressed?"

depressed depressed?
or just plain sad.

because i wouldn't be able to answer for either 

the sadness has followed me 
clenched onto me like a needy child for as long as i can remember

too many dreadful teary nights 
I've lost count 
at one point it was a nightly routine 
something i waited for
expected
like my sadness 
nothing new 

pain,sleepless nights,never ending thoughts
they follow me

so instead of asking when was the first time i was depressed,
ask when was the last time i was genuinely happy.
