A Moment Frozen In Time

While I think of that night 
Try to remember what happened that night 
All I remember is feeling pure joy 
As I think back I can not think of a single miserable thought

Strength in the Storm

Crazy how having respect for someone 
Gets confused with kissing there butt 
I guess I was just raised different form you 
I'm sorry 
But i'm honestly happy we're not friends anymore 
I can’t believe I let you walk all over me 
And yet i'm only seeing it once i've taken a good step back
I've always been someone to believe that everything happens for a reason 
You might not understand what that reason is 
But one day all the pieces will come to you 
And you'll understand 
I wish more high schoolers understood 
That high school is such a small part of your life 
So even though i'm having a hard time too 
I want all the high school students reading this to remember 
You are loved 
And things will be hard at times
You'll feel like you can never get to the shore of this horrible ocean 
But I believe in you 
And I know how it feels to be in that ocean for a long time 
With the waves rushing over your head 
A million times over and over again 
And i'm sorry you feel like this 
But you have to remember there is things to live for 
I know you didn't ask to be placed on this earth 
But youre here for a reason 
Trust me  
YOU ARE WORTH SOMETHING 
YOU ARE LOVED 
Please don't forget that 
-R.S

The Scars Remain

 I let you make me believe your treatment of me was okay.
 I let you take me away, 
Even though you only ever wanted to go halfway. 
At that time, I didn’t think anything of it. 
Looking back, 
It seemed to be okay, 
Only because I didn’t realize how badly you would
 hurt me. 
And when you started slipping away from me,
 I tried to hold onto you. 
I held on
 Until I could feel 
the tighter I held you, 
The faster you wanted to leave. 
So I stopped holding on
 And I let you be. 
But I didn’t let go only for you to come back
To me
You came back 
When you left first 
 you started it first. 
But when you came back, 
you didn’t think I was going to move on.
 You didn’t think I was able to love someone else.
 And to be honest, when you left me, I didn’t think I would ever be able to.
 You made me feel like I needed you, 
Like I couldn’t live without you. 
But when you came back, 
Things weren’t quite how you left them. 
And when I told you I moved on, 
That I was with the love of my life, 
You told me it was my fault. 
How I should have waited for you. 
How even though I found love when I wasn’t looking, 
That you believed you would never be able to truly love
. And that made me hurt for you. 
But I can’t fix someone, especially someone who doesn’t want to be fixed. 
I tried to help you,
 I really did. 
You shouldn’t have to drown your feelings, 
Not the way you do.
 But even after everything you’ve done to me,
 I will always be there for you, 
Only in hopes that one day you’ll need me.
 In hopes that one day, 
You’ll get better.

The Silent Scream

When in that moment in my life
I did not believe it was actually happening to me 
That just couldn't be  
The longer I sat in that bed 
I soon realized I was not dreaming 
Nor living in a false reality 
This was 
MY
Reality 
And I was living my worst nightmare
I can picture everything that went down that night 
Like it was playing out infront of me 
Almost like seeing a movie you've seen 100 times 
And even so each time you watch it 
Something new 
Shows it self 
Each time you re-watch it
I remember thinking that these people must really hate their job right now
I remember them taking everything out of the room before I came in 
I remember them telling me I need to calm down 
I remember them drawing my blood
Each tear a raindrop, torn apart 
I remember being so tired I couldn't sleep 
I remember feeling like a failure 
I remember being so mad at myself 
I remember being there for what feels like forever 
In the leading up weeks nothing mattered to me 
Like a broken mirror, unable to be fixed piece by piece, reflecting nothing more than who I truly was 
Like a candle burning itself out, smothered by its our flame, In desperate need to extinguish the pain 
Like a fading photo, losing all color, clarity, slipping into oblivion
But of course 
That was't the worst part 
That was't even the start.

The Unraveling Mind

Have you ever wondered what people are thinking about
What’s playing on repeat in their head 
Their- 
World 
The place where they spend all their time 
Thinking a thousand thoughts  per minute
Ideas, School, work, worries, Family, thoughts, friends, overthinking,
Thinking
 over and over and over again.
All these things pile up rather fast 
Soon everything is too fast 
Quite too fast to keep track 
From the outside 
A new, shiny, White , Clean ,House 
But what about the inside? 
On the outside, everything might seem fine 
But in reality, what does the inside 
Look like? 
Something you'll never 
Know 
You will never be able to 
 Never be able to See what someone's head looks like 
Never be able to walk in their shoes 
Not even for a second 
You might think you understand 
Understand what someone is going through 
Know why they do the things they do 
But do you? 
Do you really ever even know someone? 
Have you ever thought about that?
Have you ever thought about how much you know a person?
We all carry bags 
Things we won't let go 
Things that we will never forget 
Some good 
Some bad 
Just depends 
What does it mean to know someone? 
How much do you really know someone?
 Everyone carries scars 
The things that can’t just be washed 
Washed away 
Like paint on a canvas 
It can be covered up 
Yes! 
But never gone 
No matter how many times you try and get rid of it
It will always be there 
Silent 
We all have a time in our lives 
Where we realize our words no longer have an impact 
Our words no longer mean as much as they once might have 
Everything
  just one big misunderstanding
And we will never really know someone 
Never really know what they're going through
Never really know what they're carrying 
Never really know their scars 
Never really know what’s playing inside their Head! 
Constantly playing. 
Day in and day out 
Silent from the outside 
But on the inside 
Always playing
Always on…never really silent.

The Road to Reality

Down the road 
The long dark road 
Heavy with trees on either side 
Filled with the unknown sound of reality 
Deep in thought 
Never really paying much mind to the world around 
I know there is things lurking within the trees 
Things of the unrecognized 
As I continue walking down the road   
I start to feel lighter 
As if things are becoming brighter
The sounds of the unknown start to dissipate 
And when I make it to the end of the road 
I soon realize, this wasn't a road at all 
Its was nothing less than a high school hallway 
And me getting lighter and sounds going silent 
I realized that was just me leaving school 
Leaving for good 
For once things might be quite 
But what you think isn't always right 
And once I stepped out 
Things only got darker
And soon nothing was ever quite
again

Trapped in the Crowd

Have you ever noticed?
Noticed when everything changed
When all the sudden 
Everyone has something to say 
Everyone but you..
We all know everyone has changed
That's a part of growing up
But when did it start 
When did we all start caring about what people had to say 
Cared about what thought 
What they thought on your life
Your decisions 
Your choices
Making your path for you 
Slowly but surely 
Closing all the doors you had open 
All the windows 
Anyway you could possible get out  
It's easy to say just don't listen to them
But it's hard to do 
 Its hard when they have control on your life 
Really you know you can make your own decision
But all you want is to be liked 
To be wanted by someone 
One day things will change again 
Again for the better 
Or worst 
But we won't know 
Know until that time comes
The time when everything changes again.

The Weight of Whispers


Wondering 
Up and down
  The halls  
With each fresh step a new class  
Filled with sounds of papers being passed out
  Students on their phones  
Pencils under too much pressure, 
and Groans of laptops
 As I continued to walk past each class
  I heard them
  My head started filling up
Filling up with all the possible things I could have done wrong 
Now with each not so fresh step  
Being a little heavier  
Eyes 
All on me  
When I walk by they become a lot louder then they were before  
Why are there voices weighing me down? 
Why do I care?
I know I have done nothing wrong. 
So why with each step, did my feet feel heavier and heavier 
When I finally made it to where I was going  
I turned back  
To look into the eyes that were connected to the voice 
 But when I turned back  Nothing  
Not a single pair of peering eyes on me  
Not even the faintest whispers 
 Everything just  
Gone

Reality's Not Enough

“You live in a false reality”
“That’s not going to make you any smarter”
“I don’t get what you like about it”
“You’re doing that because you like to?”
“That’s so boring”
“You actually enjoy that”
Spending my life wrapped up
Wrapped up in nothing less than an amazingly unrealistic world 
I’ve spend my life wrapped up in the pages of book 
There's something tranquilizing about reading 
Something so indescribable 
about getting to paint that sensational picture in your head 
When I try to explain reading to someone 
I say “it's just like watching a movie, but so much better”
There is something so rewarding about finishing a book 
Feeling accomplished, and so proud 
With each book a different story 
With each book your getting to live a completely different life 
And that's what I love most about reading 
I’d much rather live between the pages of books 
Then live in realty
With each turn of a page something new just around the corner
I would pick a book over people anyday 
Only because books don't have to understand you to like you 
You only have to understand and like the book to read it 
And there just something about reading
I can't quite explain

2024

Have you ever seen someone with a perfect life?
On social media?
Instagram 
Facebook 
Twitter 
Snapchat 
The list goes on and on 
As the times go on
The “perfect life” plastered all over your feeds 
You sit and scroll for days 
Comparing your life 
Your body 
Your mind 
Your friends 
Your family
You’re Whole World
To nothing more than a false reality 
Nothing these days is real 
The pressure to 
Say
Do 
Act
A perfect way 
Is nothing out of the ordinary
Not for today's world 
Not a single thing out of place 
Every loose thread, sealed up with filters, covered by comments, filled with likes 
Every teenager, knows that every person older than them 
They have also been a teenager 
But they will Never understand 
Understand what it's like to grow up in today's world 
With the consist pressure
The consist words, hanging, lingering in the air 
“You need to stop being so lazy” 
“You need to grow up”
“These are the best years of your life” 
“Be happy” 
“You're never around anymore”
“What happened to my happy little kid?”
“Why can’t you pass any of your classes?” 
“Your life is not horrible, stop acting like it is” 
All these things they pile up on top of us 
And they wonder why we can't do our best 
And yes, its their first time living too 
There going to make mistakes 
But dont let them know they hurt your feeling 
Don't start that 
“Your such a baby”
“Quit being so emotionally”
You don't want to start that 
Not today, Not ever 
The world is always changing, 
Always growing, 
Time will never stop, Time will never wait for you to get ready, Never wait for you to grow up 
Grow up a little bit more. 
Just a little bit more.
Before it throws you into the ocean 
The Ocean you'll 
Never escape
