She’s the Sun

Radiating sunshine in my sky

And heating up my heart

Making my entire world gleam

She’s the moon

Glowing through the night

Shimmering

Brightening up my darkness

She’s the stars

Covering the world with glitter

Painting her marks

Around my scars...

Almost two years ago

I joined an app

I was 13

Still in middle school

Not really as educated as I am now

My friend had shown the app to me

It was something involving writing

Writing and prompts and community

I was intrigued

I wrote my first poem

(Questionable writing might I say)

And my first comment

Was from someone named … Queen

And said “Welcome to the community”

I had no idea who this was

B...

SHIT

My mask is slipping

Is it too late to put it back on

Is it too late to fill the hole I dug

She’s figuring it out

I’m too far deep

Too far in this lie

Too far in this personality

If she figures out I’m toast

Dead

Relationship gone

The heat is rising

The urge to tell her

Encapsulates my thoughts

Fighting in my brain

I’m digging deeper with every sentance

My mask is almost gone

It’s too la...

5 things you see:

1) the lunch I don’t want to eat

2) the friends that probably hate me

3) the delivered message he isn’t responding to

4) the homework I didn’t complete

5) the school that made me want to die

4 things you feel:

1) the clothes that I feel insecure in

2) the staircase that made me choose this school

3) the headphones that cancel out the horrible world

4) the jacket covering my scar...

If you could only know how happy I was to see you today. I had been waiting for this day since you told me you were going back to school. The day that I would finally be able to see you again. When you left that day broke me. You were cool and interesting and new to me. Like a difficult puzzle that you don’t know anything about but it still drags you to solving it. I wanted to connect and learn mo...

Advice for the insecure

Be you

Call out to the world

“Differences are ok”

Especially when you

Follow your heart

Go for your dream

Help other people

Inspire

Just reach for the stars

Know your not alone

Let them say what they want to say

Many don’t understand

Never stop educating

Open up

Perservere

Quit hiding

Run out and

Say

“This is me”

Understand that there’s nothing you can do to change the...

How it came to this

I don’t really know

But sitting in the accused

Is my depression monster

He used to be so small

And quiet

Only as small and innocent

As a toddler

Now he towers over everyone

Yelling and screaming

And not letting anyone or anything

Come through

Never would I have thought

He would get this bad

This

E

V

I

L

But here he is

Tied to the chair

Screaming at me to die

...

How would it feel to live in the clouds?

With the sky so blue

And the clouds so full of bloom

Like cotton candy

I’d jump around from cloud to cloud

Bouncing on a magical trampoline

Avoiding the pockets that open towards the sun

And then I’d lay in the endless heaps of puff

Letting myself sink into sweet pillowy dreams

It’s feel like heaven

A paradise

The calm in a world filled with chaos

It’...

There’s too many ideas spiraling in my brain

I can’t decide where to put them

Do I put them in a book?

In a poem?

A letter?

Or a song?

What do I want to portray?

What do I want others to hear?

Cause putting my ideas somewhere

Let’s myself come free

So, what do I say next?...

Forgiveness

One of the hardest things to do

Especially when you know

The other was in the wrong

I don’t know if I will ever

Be able to forgive you for

What happened in the past

Don’t worry, I’ve tried

But maybe looking at the positives

The good outcomes from you

Maybe that would help…

Let’s see

Without you

I never would’ve gone to devils

Without you

I never would’ve reconnected with...
