March For Meaning

I am  a pen made without ink
Life is the paper that comes with me
I am a bird born without wings
Life is the sky that was made for me
I am a piano built without keys
Life is the melody created for me

I am a wave among the sea
Pushing you away, then drawing you towards me
I am a rose in a bush
Curiosity lures you in, but when you touch, away you push
I am a star in the night sky
Lighting up the world, yet blinding to the eye

I am made for the night, yet I live in the day
Born for the sea, but the land is where I play
I should stay in one home, but throughout my mind I roam
I have many friends, yet here I stand alone

In this search for purpose, this march for meaning
Who you want to be may not be what you need
Today’s ideas won’t be tomorrow’s thinking
So look inside your heart, see what your soul’s thoughts mean
And then, my friend, you’ll know who you’re meant to be
The hardest part is accepting it.

Apology

I wonder how much it'd take
Just to look back on today
And erase everything I did say

I'd willingly pay any cost
To throw away today's loss
To undo these stupid words
So that nobody would get hurt

As I remember everything I said
As my words torture my own head
A tear or two streams down my face
I'll grab the razor just in case

"No," I whisper as they hit the ground
Here I am, screaming, yet not making a sound
I just want to forget that I exist
After all, it's pretty clear I wouldn't be missed

I feel like my words could kill an army
I believe everything I touch dies before me
Why can't I be like everyone else? 
Why do I resort to the friend on my shelf?

It's sad how "perfect" is all they see
This whole poem was selfish of me
I guess I'm not good with apologies
I'm dying and crying because
I'm sorry

The War In My Head

I feel as if I made it so far
 But I still can’t see the end
Every step fixes and breaks my heart
I’m losing hope, friend
I’m stuck in this cage in my head
Trapped with anxiety and depression
I don’t know how, but I need to leave
I’m waiting because I know someone has the key
But as I lay my head down on my pillow
As my tears and my fears begin to grow
I feel a war start in my head
A war you’ve never faced, one that wants me dead
You don’t know what i’m thinking
So hush your lips and stop assuming
You can’t imagine what it takes
To defeat these thoughts so I don’t break
These demons whisper to me in bed
Words delicately laced in hatred
These spirits drag into a sea of darkness
I search for a way out, as I'm surrounded with nothingness
I sink until I hit the floor
I crash hard, with blood stains on the door
Deciding if the blood is mine or if it’s yours
I pace my mind, back and forth
One half of my mind is joyful and flying
The other one is miserably dying
I wonder if the latter is trying
Because if I try harder, maybe I'll stop crying
The days have all been blurry to me
My face blinded by the burning water of the sea
They say it gets better when the night ends
But when does the sun rise and the peace begin?
The sky was painted black by the moon
She was leeching off light from the sun, too
Envious of the sun's power, she killed our minds
Causing the stars to die and darkness to unwind
Shoving words of hatred down our throats
The sun is whom the moon approached
They fought a bloody fight, leaving one to die
Yet the end is different in everyone's mind
I am the sun
I need to fight, yet I run
Showing the courage of a feeble doe
I let the moon's evil power grow
I run away from the pain I face
Yet I trip on sharp rocks, and my heart breaks
I fall down on the floor, the blood on the door
I'm telling you, I just can't do this anymore
But I put on a smile
I wear a mask for a while
Because if I wear the most desired face
Maybe then something big will change
If I wear the sunshine that I hide behind
Real sunshine is what I will find
If I learn the whispers of the wind
The wind will whisper my name again

Ocean- Collab Poem

The soft mesmerizing glisten
The waves’ journey holding no end
The warm whispers of the wind
The horizon shows when to start again
It indulges us in its peace
It's everlasting plain beauty
We hope it will never end
We hope to come back and see it again


As I watch the sky so bright
I can hear the sound of the seagulls
They are just all mingling
As the day goes on the tide goes out
Washing all the shells back to their mound
The sky gets darker as I sit alone
I walk back to my home with stone

The Wish

She was the sparkle in his eyes
He was the silver in her stormy skies
She was the purest white rose to him
To her, he had the value of a diamond within
He would wish
She would pray
That they both felt the same
That maybe one day
The wish 
Would become a kiss

She wrote about him in her diary
He talked about her to his friends, you see
But neither knew each other's feelings
Yet he would wish
And she would pray
That they both felt the same
That maybe one day
The wish
Would become a kiss

But until that day
That wonderful day
Their kiss
Will remain a wish

This Is An Oath For You, My Friend

You try to define the blurry lines in your mind
You try to hide the fear that’s behind your eyes
You try to explain how this is the end
How you never want to wake up again

But you don’t see what I see
You don’t know that your life is just starting
Can’t you see this isn’t the end, friend
This is when your life starts to begin

You say the razor helps your clustered head
I say the razor will have you dead
You think that scars will heal your heart
But friend, destruction only tears you apart

Caught up between you and who they want you to be
With their mask and your mask, you forgot what it’s like to see
The thing that will keep you alive is your own will to try
So try to trust me and I’ll try to keep you alive

Your mind goes on and on at night
A mile a minute, and endless fight
You say your thoughts fill you with hate
Then simply use your thoughts to create
 
Wipe away the tear that has fallen down your eye
There’s a reason why you’re here, so create, don’t cry
Use the thoughts that destroy to keep yourself alive
Write, paint, just create, and time will fly by

You say that it’s pointless
You’ve tried, it’s just useless
But you can only save yourself
All I can do is help

I’ll tell you that you don’t deserve to go through this pain
I’ll use these words; they’re all I have, to wipe your tears away
I’m praying, screaming, hoping, wishing, pleading that I hear you say,
“I promise you with all my heart that I’ll stay alive today”
And tomorrow...

You Made It

The sun will rise
The night will end
We have the chance to try again
Our hope will raise for the new day
Unspoken words can be said
Regretted thoughts will be erased
Blue skies and silver clouds have their parade
As the wind howls great cheers of “hooray”
The grass will dance to the beat
Flowers waving gleefully
The breeze will call out your name
Because you are alive today

City of Broken Wings

I want to say the exact words that fit me
But they were taken by poems and melodies
I want to show you that though I think I'm dying
You and I, we're alive because we're trying
I want to say that my heart is torn in two
One half flying free, the other enslaved, like you
I want to explain the whispers of the wind
And the colors of life, but I don't know where to begin
Let's start with you and me
Here we are, together living
Our dream is to one day end up flying
But our wings our torn, and we are falling
We don't know when the fall will end
We don't know when we'll fly again
Together we are alone
We are on our own
We can't just fall forever
Let's create together
We will make our own peace
Creating our own harmony
We'll come together in the sky
Chanting lyrics that make things right
The wind will whisper
Songs of approval
We will no longer live under society's rule
We are the city of broken wings
The lost and damaged who dream of flying
We'll make it together
For it will get better

4 Am Thoughts

My inner demons filled my soul
With death, spiders, cobwebs, and coal
They added the last puzzle piece
To make my life broken and complete
They show me ways to cope with life
Like using the all so well-known knife
They held me in their darkest time
Their soft whispers make me question life
I have the chance to make it stop
It will not take a lot
Have I developed a love for hate?
A feeling that's horribly great?
Have I fallen in love with falling
Have my fallen tears stopped me from crying?
Do I feel alive from dying?
Do I want to say goodbye
To the demons that roam my mind?
