My Unreturned Feelings...
Turning the pages of my worn-out book,
Mind drifting, floating somewhere, suddenly shook,
Headfirst to the ground, I fell, surprised,
When scribbles from back then caught my eyes,
In small letters written ”Hey I’m bored”
”Hey bored focus on the board”
A smile crept on my lips reminiscing of those times,
Yet strangely no warmth I find inside.
Stealing glances at you was my habit,
Praying not to get caught, I must admit,
How I miss those days, when on your face the sun would shine,
Admiring you from beside, hoping you’d be mine,
Turning my eyes away when you looked my way,
I knew it would end someday,
But unprepared I was, it took me a while,
To sit beside an empty seat, not seeing your smile,
Without the sun painting your face with its light,
I wasn’t ready to bid you goodbye, not quite.
As morning dawned, tears welled in your eyes,
You were moving far away from this tiny countryside,
I didn’t cry, said it would be fine,
But deep down, I knew it wouldn’t, I just lied.
Plans to meet made, promises to call,
But distance and time took their toll,
I am left alone in this small, familiar place,
Everything’s the same, but you’re not here to embrace,
Weirdly it feels like I’ve lost a part of me,
Regrets of what-ifs cling, tormenting me,
If only I had expressed what I felt and not been scared and slow,
Maybe it would have been easier for me to let go,
And live without these unreturned feelings that only grow.
I liked you years ago and I still do even now,
And I fear falling for another, my heart won’t allow.
P. S. It’s supposed be a story, I’m lazy that’s why I just made it into a poem...

Too Many Feelings
I let in all too many feelings,
My emotional self, a situation I wish I wasn’t in.
So many things that I should’ve kept unsaid.
So many times I felt like a maniac.
I lost track.
Getting emotional at two in the morning,
Bad habits.
So many feelings,
It feels like a part of me is suffocating.
Growing up, whatever the hell that means.
Feelings I can’t get over.
I thought It’d be a dream.
Why do feelings hit so hard in this life?
Why can’t I get over them in one night?
Too many feelings,
Too many times stuck in the pressure of my head,lying awake in bed.
I don’t know if my friends actually care,
Is this growing up?
I’ve seen better days,
Please, boys stay away, my head is cramped without space.
I feel like I’m stuck,
Work that needs to be done,
But I need to drink something, maybe more oxygen will reach my brain and help me be okay.
Too many feelings,
Keeping up with every one’s selfish dealings.
Tryna be perfect for their expectations.
When they don’t understand, nor do they want to get what I mean when I say I’m doing greatly.
I’m tired of myself.
Of everything ahead.
That I haven’t experienced yet.
I thought I was courageous,
But I’m not brave.
I thought I had strength,
But I don’t feel strong.
I thought I could take on whatever
But feelings contribute to the matter.
All too many feelings.
To be honest, I’m tired of enduring.

The Girl I Once Loved
The girl I once loved
Was the most beautiful of all,
With a radiant smile, and the kindest soul.
The girl I once loved
Had dark brown hair and big doe eyes,
Her soulful voice, her smile so wide.

Someone with whom I’d forever want to be.
We grew up together, a promise of ’forever after’
Shared stories and laughter.

Feel what I felt, no disguise.

I hope
’Cause I don’t like to see you cry,
I don’t want to say goodbye.
Just promise me that you’ll smile,
Everytime you say goodnight.
I’ll look into your eye,
And promise to always try.
Whenever you say Hi,
My day becomes bright.
I’ll chase down the light,
And forever bring it to your sight.
Just promise me that you’ll smile,
Everytime you say goodnight.
’Cause you light up my every night,
I hope I always stay in your sight.
I don’t want to say goodbye.

I hope I always stay in your sight.

I Did Everything
You told me to change
Said I wasn’t enough
You needed someone
to make you proud
You told me to be someone
I wasn’t
Indirectly urged me to lose myself
So I did
Now you’re asking me why
I’m not the same
Claiming it’s not how I was
supposed to be
Now you’re asking me why
I have changed
Tell me, what am I
supposed to do?
I listened to your words
with no choice
Did all you asked
Believing all was for the best
Believing your every lie
I did everything you wanted
Tried my best to meet your standards
Striving to be that child
who’d make you proud
But it seems as though I’ve failed
As if all I did is in vain
Because you’re still not satisfied
But I lost myself in the trying
Tell me, what am I
supposed to do now?
I did everything
Didn’t play with other kids
Tried my best to avoid foolishness
Worked to be someone
I wasn’t
I did my best to meet your standards
To live your dreams
To live as you wanted
Thinking of you as family
You were the only one for me
Now I don’t know
what I’m supposed to be
I don’t even recognize
me
You told me, so I did
Everything
But you’re still not satisfied
Now I don’t know why I even tried
Said I wasn’t enough
You needed someone
to make you proud
You told me to be someone
I wasn’t
Indirectly urged me to lose myself
So I did
Now you’re asking me why

Our worth
When human greed teams up with
A need for power
How little our worth is
We soon discover
Whereas when love and support
Come together
Our worth grows
And all feels better
So it appears
Our worth’s relative
It depends on what surrounds us
Both, positive and negative

Fireflies in your hair
Watching the sunset fall,
Awaiting the tranquility of the night
Your eager gaze
Watched them gently come, Into sight
They twinkle once, they twinkle twice
Specks of light before your very eyes
Like falling stars, they glow so bright
Beating their wings as they slowly take flight
A curious little one leaves the rest
It lands in your hair,
An unexpected little guest
The little traveler got tangled in the strands,
Before you rescued it, with your hands
The little creature twitches with fright
You steady it on your fingers, and let it take flight
Slowly, it joins the rest of its friends
And higher up into the sky, they ascend
Awaiting the tranquility of the night
Your eager gaze
Watched them gently come, Into sight
They twinkle once, they twinkle twice
Specks of light before your very eyes
Like falling stars, they glow so bright
Beating their wings as they slowly take flight
A curious little one leaves the rest
It lands in your hair,
An unexpected little guest
The little traveler got tangled in the strands,

Dezi 🖤
if eyes were nightlights.
amidst the riders of dark stealing our feelings as they pass by,
i question all the seasons that have ever brushed their faces.
their hands have wrinkled labouring to keep foreheads dry,
yet somehow, the storms always seep out at the wrong places.
i want to speak and know if calm is what really stills their seas,
but masks are mesmerizing so everything is only white or black.
if eyes were nightlights, they’d shine with all the hushed pleas,
and then we would see in them bleeding feet on uneven tracks.

ALIVE (ZINDA)
A person doesn’t live alone
They die
By living with someone
Who doesn’t care about them,
Who is with them for selfish reasons only
They get suffocated
By becoming a second choice always
By feeling that
They’ll never be someone’s priority
They suffer
How are they alive
Didn’t the loneliness kill them?
Didn’t they shatter into thousands of pieces upon being used?
Didn’t they feel like dieing
Upon becoming just a backup?
And their smile
Yes the same smile which everyone finds very lovely
The same smile no one is there to protect
How is it still there?
Who will explain people
Corpse also walk
How can someone look shattered
When they are broken from inside
Not every smile reaches the eyes
The tears in one’s eyes aren’t shown.
PS: Never make someone feel they deserve to be a second option only, not a priority
Never expect a person to come and tell you their pain easily,
if they could they wouldn’t be broken
Never ignore the signs, giving hints is the most a person suffering can do
Never let the person willing to die reach the level of attempting once
they won’t stop till they succeed.
HINDI VERSION:
Insaan akele jeeta nahi,
Marta hai
Kisi aise ke saath rehne se
Jisko uski kadar nahi,
Jo bas matlab ke liye saath hai
Ghutan hoti hai
Humesha second choice bane reh jane se
Yeh ehsaas hone se ki
Kabhi woh kisiki priority na banega
Takleef hoti hai
Na jaane kaise zinda hai woh
Kya akelapan use kha nahi gaya?
Kya istemaal hone ke baad uske hazaaron tukade nahi ho gaye?
Kya kewal ek backup banne se
Mar jaane ka man nahi kar gaya?
Aur uski hasi
Ha wahi hasi jo sabko pyaari lagti hai
Wahi hasi jiski hifaazat karne wala nahi
Kaise hai barkarar?
Kaun samajhaye logo ko
Laashein bhi chalti hai
Kaise bikhra hua dikhe woh
Jo andar se toota hai
Har hasi aankho tak nahi pahuchti
Aankho ki nami dikhayi nahi jaati.

Fragments Of My Childhood
The fragrance of my childhood
Hides in the folds of your embrace.
You were warm, like the sun’s rays,
Whenever I needed you, you were there.
I thought our relationship would always stay that way.
I loved you so much, and I expected you to do the same,
But with time, our relationship got tainted,
And our love for each other slowly faded.
With passing years, the distance grew between us.
It’s not like I don’t love you anymore,
I still do as much as before,
And I know you love me too,
But it does not feel the same anymore.
You are here, but when I look for you,
I just cannot find you anywhere.
Even though the world left me behind,
I hoped you would be with me through time.
In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
But all the times you looked at me with contempt, I still remember.
My love for you is still there,
Your love for me is still here.
But our relationship is not like before,
Even though we are so close by,
It feels like we are countries apart.
I can’t feel your warmth anymore,
All the good memories of you are here,
You too are here, but it’s not like before.
In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
In those fragments, I remember how
You used to smile and look at me with love.
In your embrace, I felt all the warmth.
You were there for me whenever I cried,
And when I needed you, you appeared right before my eyes.
But now that I am older, things have changed.
As I look at you, I don’t feel the same,
You’re still as before, but we are not anymore.
People say, with time, relationships change, and I guess that’s true.
What we have now is hard to believe, describe.
In the fragments of my childhood,
All the love you gave me, I still remember,
How you looked at me lovingly, I still reminisce and smile.
But I still remember how you gazed at me as if I were something filthy.
In those fragments of my childhood,
I still remember that young child who used to be happy.
And loved their mother dearly; they still do,
But it’s not the same anymore.
It’s all just confined to those fragments,
And those fragments are slowly fading away,
Like those dreams that fade over time.
In the fragments of my childhood,

I Don’t Know Why, I Even Try
Soft-spoken
Not profane
Another argument I must refrain,
From sharing my thoughts
Calling the shots
Hoping my stance comes clear
And that my respect isn’t seen as mere
Once I step up,
To the conversation
I can already feel the agitation
”I disagree with this”
”I disagree with that”
Could you even hear each other’s perspective?
We’re getting off track!
Combative is the spirit
Being heard is the goal
If you refuse to listen, the purpose is gone as a whole
So I ask you
The one with malice in their eyes,
Why did I even try?

AN AN
When Everyone And No One’s Watching
When you look in my eyes and tell me I’m beautiful.
Will you do the same in front of your friends at all costs?
Will I still be the one you want when the world is watching?
Will you still hold me when your ex’s parents walk in?
Tell me I’m in all your dreams,
Tell me I’m the reason you breathe.
Will you do it in front of everyone and when there’s no one?
I think about it too often.
But will I be the one when everyone and no one is watching?
Will I still be your prize when I’m close to fifty nine?
Will you tell your friends that I’m your life?
Will I be enough for you, with the blinds closed and in front of judging eyes?
In front of strangers, will you say that you never need to see the northern lights because you are holding the sight?
Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?
When your hurt, will you call on my name on the edge of time?
Will you do the same when your family stay the night?
Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?
Will you do the same in front of your friends at all costs?
Will I still be the one you want when the world is watching?
Will you still hold me when your ex’s parents walk in?
Tell me I’m in all your dreams,
Tell me I’m the reason you breathe.

In front of strangers, will you say that you never need to see the northern lights because you are holding the sight?
Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?
When your hurt, will you call on my name on the edge of time?
Will you do the same when your family stay the night?
Will I be enough for you when everyone and no one is watching?

Butterflies
The way you push your hair back gives me butterflies
The way you smile gives me butterflies
The way you talk gives me butterflies
everything about you gives me butterflies
your eyes I could stare into them forever
I could listen to you talk forever
All these things stupid little things you do give me butterflies
why can’t I be in your class
you give me butterflies
I hate the way you give me butterflies
I hate the way I think you’re perfect
I hate the way you push your hair back
you give me butterflies
The way you smile gives me butterflies
The way you talk gives me butterflies
everything about you gives me butterflies
your eyes I could stare into them forever
I could listen to you talk forever
All these things stupid little things you do give me butterflies
why can’t I be in your class
you give me butterflies
I hate the way you give me butterflies
I hate the way I think you’re perfect
I hate the way you push your hair back
you give me butterflies
Alex Grace Slighty
Girl in the Mirrior
(DISCLAIMER! This is disturbing, but I promise you this is just a POEM! Nothing more)
That bottomless pain in my heart only caves in deeper as the days pass on
I feel like I’m drowning in my grief—
thick and sickening
Whenever I look at my reflection
my emotions slip away and I curse myself
My heart crumbles to dust
I want to break every mirror I see,
I never want to see the girl looking back at me ever again
I want to tear her apart
What happened to her?
I hate her so much,
this girl
I wish she never screwed her life up as she had
She makes me want to scream
and crumple to the ground
and die
Why do I have to see that girl
whenever I see a reflection?
What have I turned into?
What am I doing?
I hate that girl in the mirror
looking back at me
I wish she would disappear
I want her to die
and never come back
I’m drowning and I can’t. . .
I just can’t anymore
I never want to see her again
Just die already,
girl in the mirror,
whose eyes are full of pain
without a tear to drop
Just die
That bottomless pain in my heart only caves in deeper as the days pass on
I feel like I’m drowning in my grief—
thick and sickening
Whenever I look at my reflection
my emotions slip away and I curse myself
My heart crumbles to dust
I want to break every mirror I see,
I never want to see the girl looking back at me ever again
I want to tear her apart
What happened to her?
I hate her so much,
this girl
I wish she never screwed her life up as she had
She makes me want to scream
and crumple to the ground
and die
Why do I have to see that girl
whenever I see a reflection?
What have I turned into?
What am I doing?
I hate that girl in the mirror
looking back at me
I wish she would disappear
I want her to die
and never come back
I’m drowning and I can’t. . .
I just can’t anymore
I never want to see her again
Just die already,
girl in the mirror,
whose eyes are full of pain
without a tear to drop
Just die

Broken Heart
When I met you,
I knew without doubt it was true,
That I loved you with all my heart,
With you, never did I want to part
I swear, I had fallen for you hard
The love that I had for you was longer than the Nile
And whenever I saw your sweet, contagious smile
My world would stop spinning for a while
Anything for you I did not mind going an extra mile
Because I was hypnotized by your unique style
I enjoyed holding you tight
And hated it when we had a fight
I never wanted you out of my sight
With you in my life, my future seemed bright
But when you left ,my world lost all the light
If I had a baseball bat
I would smash a near-by rat
Not because I’m filled with hate
But my anger is great
Surely this is not a matter to debate
But maybe to regret
There is no need to cover
Something that is already over
I’ve got no lover
She’s gone forever.

Failure
”Step up in front of the class!”
”Describe yourself with one word”
”No inappropriate choices or phrases, don’t make it absurd!”
I curse myself seeing she picks me first
My classmates were now immersed, in my next move
I disapprove, of the laughing I hear from the back of the room
With my hands shaking, I utter ”Failure”
The teacher glances
But I’ve been on my best behavior
The laughing grows louder
The teacher scolds, how her, choice
Of words created a riot
And made the kids anything but quiet
”No, let me explain!”
”Please sit down, we don’t have all day.”
The cycle of failure continues to replay
”Describe yourself with one word”
”No inappropriate choices or phrases, don’t make it absurd!”

AN AN
Hard To Unlove You
When I take a step ahead,
you force me to retreat two steps back.
Just as I sense us getting close,
you prove me wrong each time.
However, like a fool, I fall for your crafted illusion every time.
The words, like a lump in my throat, cling.
When I muster courage at last,
you make me bite my tongue and regret everything.
Unsaid words consume my mind,
eat me alive, roam freely, haunting the night.
As I attempt to crawl back from the edge,
you plunge me back deeper into the abyss.
To the world’s end, you drag me,
refusing to release me from your claws.
You’re the tunnel that surrounds me, making me devoid of light,
engulfing me in your shadow,
making me suffocated is all you do,
yet I still can’t unlove you.
I fear what I may become,
I fear I’ll never be enough.
And I’m afraid I love you so deeply,
so your pain becomes mine, it’s such a pity.
I know it’s wrong to feel hurt over your misery,
it’s your life, you choose this path of misery,
So don’t pull me along in your despair.
It’s wrong, you know, yet you still do.
I want to hate you,
but I still can’t unlove you.
I’m tracing your footsteps,
your shadow cast over me,
anxiously fearing someday I’ll become the one I hate.
So, I want to escape
from your shadow and your name.
But unfortunately, we’re bound by the same fate,
the same thread tied around our necks.
I can only run but can’t hide away
from the fate and the shadow that we share.
P.S. I think the picture is the most accurate representation for this poem...

Glycerine
Ever felt useless
Like you’re just a problem
A burden
To the life of others?
Like glycerine
Colorless
Odorless
Nothing to differentiate
Just a sickenning sweet taste
That can’t exactly be placed
Confusing, bizarre
Useless
Just there for a background extra
In the lives of others
The real ’main characters’
Not even feeling like the main character of your own story
Not even feeling like you have your own story
Like glycerine
Colorless, bland
Odorless, dull
Sweet, repulsive
A dead weight...
Ever thought of
Taking this feeling
And locking it up?
Somewhere it will die
Somewhere it will fade
And then you will be free
And Important
Colorful
With an original fragrance
Pleasantly sweet
And light as a helium balloon
Floating forever into the sky...
......... That sure sounds nice
Like you’re just a problem
A burden
To the life of others?
Like glycerine
Colorless
Odorless
Nothing to differentiate
Just a sickenning sweet taste
That can’t exactly be placed
Confusing, bizarre

Somewhere it will die
Somewhere it will fade
And then you will be free
And Important

With an original fragrance

And light as a helium balloon
Floating forever into the sky...
......... That sure sounds nice
Nonexistant ...
Would you be scared?
Would you be scared?
If you saw me jump off a bridge.
Would you run and try to save me or stand there and watch?
Would you be scared?
If you saw me drawing red lines on myself with a knife.
Would you hide and watch or tell me to stop?
Would you be scared?
If you saw a group of guys trying to take advantage of me.
Would you stand there and watch or try to tell them to stop?
Would you be scared?
If you saw me trying to hang myself.
Would you just peek through the door and watch me suffocate or save my life?
Would you be scared?
If you found me dead in the woods.
Would you walk away from my body or tell people you found me?
No sorry, The real question is,
Would you save me?
You tell me you love me yet you can’t answer me.
Would you save my life?
If you saw a group of guys beating me up
Would you run up and tell them to stop or stand there in watch?
Would you call me a punk?
If I told you these girls took advantage of me.
Would I still be your #1?
Would you be there for me?
If you saw me crying alone?
Yes.
There’s a difference between you and me.
I never told you ”I loved you” yet I still try to show it.
But you, you just say that you love me. Yet you never show it.
If you saw me jump off a bridge.
Would you run and try to save me or stand there and watch?
Would you be scared?
If you saw me drawing red lines on myself with a knife.

The rainbow staining the crystal blue sky,
Vivid colours valiant to the stormy night ahead.
You can’t tell me that it’s not a sign.
I know very well that it is.
It’s a sign of you saying hello to me.
The beauty in the gore.
Passing on your courage to me,
To find strength in the unpleasant.
You’re the definition of courageous,
Smiling and laughing all day long.
The glimmer of hope I seek.
Laid in front of me,
Before my very eyes.
You are a sign,
Waving to me,
From up above.
Channeling your positivity,
Spreading your warmth,
Wherever you go.

You aren’t truly gone

Hidden Treasure
Upon the seas where
legends often dwell,
A pirate ship with
secrets deep below,
Where hidden treasure
lies within its hold,
Awaiting those who dare
to seek and know.
Through storms and stars,
the vessel sails the night,
Its secrets guarded
by the salty air,
A map obscured from
all but those in sight,
The treasure waits for
those who do not scare.
Beneath the deck, where
shadows dance and play,
The gold and jewels,
a fortune to behold,
But only those who
brave the pirate’s way,
May claim the prize,
the treasure to unfold.
So heed this tale
of riches lost at sea,
For hidden treasure waits
for you and me.

My heart is broken . . .(A Reverse Poem)
”My heart is broken beyond repair”
So don’t try to convince me that
Things will get better
Just take a closer look
It’s a cruel, cruel world
Though
Some days are easier than others
Happiness is fleeting
And it’s true that
Life throws us curve balls
Yes
It’s too hard
So you’ll never hear me say that
”My heart is broken, but I must go on”

You’ve got me all wrong
My body may be long
My teeth sharp and strong
I may be fast, but you’ve got me wrong
With where you think that I belong
I chase my prey to exhaustion
Jump on it or slap it with my tail
Still, you’ve got me all wrong
For I am no whale
I have a good eyesight
Eat anything in sight
But once and for all
Let me put things right
You call me ”the killer whale”
”The wolf of the sea”
”Of the kingdom of the dead”
Though, I’m just a dolphin, can’t you see?

Creased and ripped,
Folded and torn
Our time spent together,
Had left me worn
You painted a picture of sweetness,
Which lured me in
Your warm smile, and brimming eyes
Created a promise of what could have been
But now, you’ve shown your true form
You’ve cast me out to the storm
The kindness I thought I knew,
Has been replaced, as narcissism grew
Naive little me, thought you could change
Instead, you morphed
into something quite deranged
Now, as I part away from you,
I’m stuck with the memory of how
You used me, and threw me away,
Like a discarded 𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚

Hey butterflies 🦋
I had to end a friendship today with one of my closest friends. (Didn’t go well) They were very toxic, and made me feel like I was only needed when no one else was around. I felt used. 😥. Not having the best day so far, but how are your days going? Tell me in the comments if you don’t mind 🤗

The Cost Of Academic Validation.
Pressure, pressure, pressure.
When does it get better?
I was six, in school, when I got a B and the teacher sent a letter
to my mother, scolding me.
Oh, how Kindergarden glorified the times that would await.
Now I want to hate
myself.
Pressure, pressure, better.
It should be no bother to me
Give straight A’s, the school is happy, family smiling.
No one told me just how tiring
It is to keep this face up to be.
Study till the night just to get the points all right.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Grades don’t define you.
Then why does every letter, every mark, every notation, every job manager
Seem to want me for my A’s?
Grades don’t define who you should be.
Yet they determine everything around me.
From my future to my job, to my income and insurance.
Yet you, teacher, don’t bother, you have another
Plan, your money planned far in advance.
Insufferable.
Better, better, better.
Why does he only look at Heather?
Does he know she bullies me?
Oh, how her mean words carved marks into my heart, only because of my qualifications.
Academic validation - I don’t seek attention, do I?
But how the teacher smiled and handed my test, I knew someone was proud of me, unlike the rest.
Never better better better.
Stop pretending
My life is now in shreds,
when I see my reflection, a pen draws out to blur what I hate.
If grades are everything that make me the golden Globe I should be, I want to disintegrate. I’m not worth being looked at, Heather told me that.
And she doesn’t know that I want to fade.
Never better, not good enough.
My feet step back.
Maybe falling doesn’t solve the issue.
The teachers are oblivious, Heather has a group now, glorious.
I found a note in my backpack.
Written on a tissue.
♡ You.
If not better, at least try to be.
I look in the mirror.
Who is she? It’s like I am meeting mine
for the first time.
Life didn’t end, before graduation.
Don’t pretend.
The note from my backpack hung next to the reflection.
Will he like me? Or is he just as afraid of rejection
As I once was?
And does
that maybe prove
That we are all the same?
When does it get better?
I was six, in school, when I got a B and the teacher sent a letter
to my mother, scolding me.
Oh, how Kindergarden glorified the times that would await.
Now I want to hate
myself.
Pressure, pressure, better.
It should be no bother to me
Give straight A’s, the school is happy, family smiling.
No one told me just how tiring
It is to keep this face up to be.
Study till the night just to get the points all right.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Grades don’t define you.
Then why does every letter, every mark, every notation, every job manager
Seem to want me for my A’s?
Grades don’t define who you should be.
Yet they determine everything around me.
From my future to my job, to my income and insurance.
Yet you, teacher, don’t bother, you have another
Plan, your money planned far in advance.
Insufferable.
Better, better, better.
Why does he only look at Heather?
Does he know she bullies me?
Oh, how her mean words carved marks into my heart, only because of my qualifications.
Academic validation - I don’t seek attention, do I?
But how the teacher smiled and handed my test, I knew someone was proud of me, unlike the rest.
Never better better better.
Stop pretending

I yell...
I yell my favorite words
I talk my morbid thoughts
And I whisper the important stuff that nobody ever wants to hear

”Childhood Memories”💫💗
”where are those childhood friends ”
Now they are flown
”Where are those memories ”
Once brightly shown
”Where’s the peace”
Once sweetly sown
”Where’s the laughter”
In echos unknown
”Dad stern words Mom loving care ”
Daily homework a routine affair
”Chats with friends without a care”
Fuming at trifles then making at repair
”Where is the era now far from here”
”Childhood essence once so clear ”
”In the corridors of time”
Those echoes fade
”Yet in the heart”
Their essence laid
”Though days have passed”
And years have flown
”Those bonds of youth”
Forever known
”Through life twist and turn”
We roam
”Yet in nostalgia”
We find our home
”For in the memories of”
Days gone by
”Childhood magic”
Still nearby
Now they are flown

Magical Art
Ecstatic beauty
Paralyzing depression
Battle in the mind
This is the intersection
Where magical art happens.

Holding my breath
I wake up everyday,
Not willing to get out of bed;
𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦,
𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥,
𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵,
𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.
Anxiety fills my mind,
What will my parents think?
I’m dumber than my siblings,
Straight A’s their whole life,
So now the expectations are on me,
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 & 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 .
𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴,

I’m still holding my breath.

Mother’s love
As soon as I saw you
I felt this force
Everything shifted and you became
The centre of my Universe
Instantaneous pull
I’ve never felt before
Like two magnets or gravity
Tugging at my core
That’s what it feels like
The love like no other
There’s no stronger bond
Than the love of a mother

The Caged Bird
It looks pretty, doesn’t it?
In a golden cage resides the bird you adore the most,
Surrounded by your love and all it needs,
Yet its heart craves the touch of the blue sky,
The sun painting its feathers with hues as it soars high,
Dancing among the clouds,
It longs for the forbidden freedom
You admire its beauty, assuming contentment,
While silently it withers away within your confines,
Intriguing how you keep it under your control,
A prized possession, a pet you claim to care for,
Yet its true freedom remains restrained,
And invisible are the tears it sheds and its pleas.
Acknowledge the cage isn’t real,
An invisible barrier of your love,
Shedding tears as you take its away,
With each tear another weight is placed,
In your golden cage it is trapped,
You laugh, you smile as it withers,
Loving the power of control you possess,
No remorse for the suffering inflicted on its soul,
Blinded by your own happiness,
While it feels guilty for having emotions,
Feeling foolish for being mean at times,
You don’t seem to realise how it’s trapped in its own lies.
Lying to make it better,
But every lie weighs heavily on its wings,
Its soul tainted by the lies it weaves,
Even if it breaks free from the illusion of your love,
Even if it returns to the sky it yearns for,
The hold of your tears will forever linger,
Your golden cage, it will never be able to escape,
The weight of your love is the price it’ll pay,
The bird is not pretty anymore, you have made it petty.
