I’m clumsy.

I trip and slowly break.

Every time so small you don’t even notice,

Until I’m cracked like a porcelain doll,

And you finally see the pain inside me,

Only then will you know me really.

You’ll see the anxiety,

Rolling layers deep.

The sadness tangled inside me,

Feeling like I’m not good enough.

The insecurities that tear me from the inside out,

Comparison weighing me down.

I’m not a good...

Belonging means crying because there are people around to care

Belonging means laughing because there are people around to laugh with you

Belonging means getting mad because there are people around to hate with you

Belonging means screaming into a pillow because there are people around to drop what their doing and scream with you

Belonging means dancing even though your a terrible dancer because y...

Quiet nights

Quiet days

Quiet months

Bleak reigns

Away from their closeness

Living alone, say it’s uniqueness

Looking up, hoping a warm tomorrow

All this ego giving me nothing but sorrow

Wish they cared enough to wonder

Wished I could just let go under

Gave them my all to take off that label of frigid

To them nothing but emotionless or maybe timid

If they could only see

Just how much th...

The laughter of the group filled the silence,

A noise so loud not held by any sort of abstinence.

You could smell the bond tearing up the bodies,

Everyone couldn’t stop staring,

Jealousy, anger, loneliness filled up their hearts.

The fragrances of the girls noticed by every guy,

A competition that never dies.

I could breath the joy of their souls,

We were all playing our roles.

The jocker, the l...

I bet this app’s creators had no idea how much this platform would reach out and effect its users. And I bet the people who joined slowly had no idea that if they stayed they’d be apart of something so much larger than scope’s first glance.

You know the feeling,

The one where you switch off and your feet do the walking.

Staring at the ceiling,

And so very aware of the voice who is talking.

You body recognises the route,

From home to those you love and back again.

Whether you are wearing a suit,

Or visiting now and then.

Your soul belongs here,

And craves putting down roots.

Your heart may be in fear,

But your soul is in cahoots.

Belonging

That’s something I feel

Not around my family

But with my friends

Like I’m supposed to be there

Laughing

And having fun

Not judged

Not unwanted

Not unheard

Nothing I like is stupid

When I belong

Nothing I talk about is stupid

When I belong

Nothing I want is stupid

When I belong

I’m treated just the same

As anyone else

No second-guessing about that

None of my hear me outs ...

Sometimes I look at my brother

and he is not my brother

But a stranger,

A lean, muscled man,

25, the height of youth and energy, vitality -his presences radiates joy,

Finds the best in everything

Is unstoppable.

He’s building the life he wants,

effortlessly charismatic and charming,

He runs marathons and flys to Japan

Sometimes I have to remind myself he is not the small boy

Running thro...

To try to fit in somewhere

Is a fundamental need

To feel a connection

Without a plead

And when it’s right

You don’t have to look

You’ll fit right in

Like a fish with a hook

But if you try to fit

In somewhere you don’t

It will break your edges

And you won’t even know

Like a missing puzzle piece

Jammed in the wrong spot

It’ll seem like it’s okay

Until it is not

Because until its somewhere

Yo...

Belonging.

That nine letter word never meant much to me.

Belonging is boring and tiring I thought.

But to belong means to have a love no one can take.

To belong means to never worry about being fake.

I belong to you and you to me.

We belong to the world and the world to us.

I never thought I’d belong anywhere.

But I belong to the sea, the grass, the trees.

I belong to the earth, and the earth bel...
