Do you know what it feels like?
To feel something, but...
be unable to express what it is;
to be silent;
to fight it alone.

I know how much it hurts,
but I don't know how to show it.
Poetry used to be my refuge,
a place where I could be alone -
express all my emotions,
without being judged.

I'm losing it.
I can't connect to poetry.
Everything sounds so stupid...
Everything I write sounds stupid.
I have to erase all my feelings,
because they don't sound right.

The words aren't real.
They don't show what I feel
And maybe this will be the last.
Maybe I'm gone:
lost of all emotions.
I'm truly alone...
I used to have poetry.

Now I have nothing.

responsibility: the silent killer

I hear the muffled voices, the rustling of the bodies around me... yet the reality is that the scene is only but a snapshot of reality; everyone is still, locked into their state. I hear the muffled voices and see the blank faces that gaze at me. Their mouths move but no words escape them, their limbs limp and inflexible despite my screams for their help - my desperate plea. I hear the muffled voices, thinking I heard their promises. Hoping that maybe one day, they would step up and help carry the anvil that was crushing my heart, my dreams and my soul. I hear the muffled voices, and I realise their voices are muffled so they

I've Changed (Yeah right)

I've Changed (Yeah right): You know, I tell myself everday, That I'm going to change - that I'll be different. 'This isn't the same; I'm not the same,' that's what I tell myself... As I sit in front of the computer, praying time doesn't move. Coward, you're weak and you'll always be weak! You bloody disgrace... I pick up some new magazine, get inspired, 'I want to be like that guy,' is what I think to myself. I give it a try for two or three days - I quit. Same old shit again... Making up excuses? It's what you always do, you gutless wonder... I try to reach out with my hands, Seeking something, anything that I can find to help myself ho

She always fell for boys who needed saving.

She always fell for boys who needed saving. Giving them kisses in the dark to numb their headache from drinking too much and yet not enough to kill lust. She was always adored by boys, who, if given the chance, would rebuild the world for her. But she wanted to be the heroine and refused to see she needed saving, too.

You're Not?

You're anorexic if you're thin You're not? Then you're obese. If you're different, you're insane You're not? Then you're a fake. If you're happy, you're hiding something. You're not? You must be emo. If you're dating, you're a slut. You're not? You must have no friends. If you're popular, you're a jerk. You're not? You're a nobody. If you're quiet, you must be disabled. You're not? You obnoxious freak. If you're you, you're wrong. You're not? Then you must be perfect.

I once was a galaxy~ A Poem

I once was a galaxy, But then I fell from the sky, I landed on the ground, And I tried not to cry Everybody laughed, When they saw me they would scream, They said I was an alien, And a girl caught in her dreams A few Fridays later, There were no stars in my hair, There were no nebulas in my eyes, But I couldn't really care But one fateful day, Someone saw through my lies, They saw me through a telescope, Suddenly galaxies were in my eyes From that day forward, I never gave in, I would reach for the stars, And be the best galaxy I've ever been

Ocean

My home is a warm sea Of darting rainbow scales, Bright lights And pearly laughter. My father sent me to a cold ocean Of iron blue and slate grey, Sharp claws And brooding silence. "Find yourself in the emptiness, In the bleak, roaring surf, Daughter, And then return." I fell in love with a cold ocean, Traded my blood for salt, My bones For sand and seaweed.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

Is that too much to ask?

There was a new boy at school. He sat in the back, all alone. The teacher was doing roll call. "Jessica?" The boy froze. "..Jessica? Is she here today?" The boy raised his hand shakily and muttered quietly, almost scared. "Here." What sort of name was that for a boy? Jessica? She must be a girl, then. At lunch she was alone, crying. Why was she crying? Because everything felt so wrong. Her name didn't fit her. Her body didn't fit her. She was a boy on the inside. Why was she a girl on the outside? She truly thought it was to torture her. So she scarred the body she hated, as if it would do any good

"Dude.. You're a girl!" His words shot through me like a jolt of electricity. Did he just say what I think he did? He did, didn't it? I analyze my situation quickly. What happened exactly? My mind feels hazy and it takes me a few seconds to recall. I was trying to enjoy a walk through the park with my friends when Hilda clumsily spilled her soda on me. My shirt was soaked but Hilbert offered to take me home to change. He had offerred his jacket to me.. After that we rushed home, I went to my room and he came into my room. Did he want his jacket back? I guess he does. He's standing in front of me, head turned, blushing furiously. It takes

Trangst Poem - FTM

The girl who never was and the boy who cannot be. A face unknown. Hollow, Lacking, Vacant. It stares. Bones grow out of place, Bulging, twisting, breaking up straight lines. Blood follows, a screaming pain that cannot be subdued. It drips, smears, stains. Tainted. Confusion sets in. Mass hysteria? Cells divide and concur, an uncontrollable growth. The heart longs to love, but is trapped within a cage of bones and mounds of flesh. An unfamiliar home. The mirror reflects lies, which cannot be proven incorrect. Untrained eyes, cannot view the falsehood, of this perceived womanhood. I've grown tired of lying. And I've gro

The irony is that, I am using words...yet these words don't seem real.
