fighter
R L May 2021
they tell me "be strong, stay resistant,
you should keep up a fight"
but i hide under my sheets at the worst hours of night
i try to be a fighter,
but i do it with my words,
so ill keep writing what i write
in hopes of being heard.

just a thought
R L Jan 2021
lying on the grass
beside your pretty face,
we laugh at stupid things,
and freedom at our grace,
we're living how we want to,
and then i grab your hand,
to realise it'll never happen,
it's just a thought again

cloud of hate
R L Nov 2020
cloudy sky,
filled with my hate,
the rain falls,
and i leave the place,
the thunder calls,
but i don't turn around.
if lightning strikes you,
then it's the end of all.

nightmares
R L Dec 2020
my nightmares are more realistic than my dreams...
101 · Dec 2020
disguise
R L Dec 2020
are we devils,
or angels in disguise,
do we hate each other,
or is it all lies?

do we ****
for the pleasure or the fun,
or is it for the angels,
before we become one?

art
R L Dec 2020
art
everyone has something,
that gives them a feeling of inner power,
for me, it's the art i create.
I'm not only making this for others,
i'm making it for myself.
Art is the one thing
that others shouldn't have an opinion on,
because what i portray in my art,
is what's going through my mind.

silhouette
R L Jan 2021
my finger reaches out,
as i touch the sunlight,
and the absence of light,
as it creates a silhouette.
i see my shadow
beside nobody else

worst years of my life
R L Dec 2020
i didn't know
whether to say yes or no,
and when i agreed,
i didn't know
that i was to live the worst years of my life
93 · Dec 2020
teen
R L Dec 2020
we taught ourselves to lie,
and always hide our pain,
the elders keep us locked up,
depression on our chains,
we keep our sadness bottled up,
and cry when we're alone,
so how are we the bad ones,
when we don't know where to go?
93 · Dec 2020
pluviophilia
R L Dec 2020
each raindrop,
holding a memory,
as it rolls down my window,
and i seem to adore it
pluviophile; lover of rain
92 · Sep 2024
Sunburnt
R L Sep 2024
I bask under rays of sunlight
that burn my skin
searing,
scalding,
until I'm simply a vessel of rays
no longer filled with the misery
that once repressed me.
92 · Dec 2020
control
R L Dec 2020
I'm waiting for the day i can take control over my life
hard to do with toxic people

in the pain

R L Dec 2020

90 · Dec 2020
bruises
R L Dec 2020
bruised from your words,
scarred from your hate,
staying up all night,
conversations i recreate,
i think about you,
though you hate me more than ever,
i wanted us to be happy,
but that didn't last forever
88 · Dec 2020
let it all happen
R L Dec 2020
does the wind need to prove it's power,
do the nightingales sing every hour,
do the waters need to flood to show you,
that not everything needs a purpose,
even when it might seem worth it,
the clouds will cover,
the ravens will hover,
the rain will pour,
i'll be at your door
to show you what i mean
when i say, "just let it all happen"
88 · Dec 2020
chapter
R L Dec 2020
you thought we had a story,
but you were just a chapter of my life,
the pages are all torn out,
and I have so much left to write.
88 · Dec 2020
life
R L Dec 2020
oceans of pain,
our lives remain,
but an illusion,
of fire and rain.

our souls just a story,
our lives,
they get boring,
so we love each other,
then die in vain.

fate
R L Dec 2020
if destiny is fate,
can i change it?

end of the world
R L Nov 2020
if it was the end of the world,
would you spend your last breath with me?
86 · Dec 2020
mask
R L Dec 2020
you don't know me
the way you know my smile.
I'm not what i seem,
i'm on a trial,
aggression,
depression,
and so much to hide,
i just hope you see me smile,
when i already cried.

a thousand screams,
yet everyone's deaf,
i'm underwater,
they all left,
cuz i'm hiding it all,
and displaying the smiles,
i've nowhere to go,
sadness and denial.
81 · Dec 2020
promise
R L Dec 2020
i can't promise you a happy tomorrow,
but i can promise you happiness today.
81 · Dec 2020
dear future
R L Dec 2020
dear future,
don't hide things from me,
let me be sad,
and anger take over me.
i know i can't decide things,
but don't make it perfect,
i want the ups and downs,
i want it to be worth it.

dear future,
please take care of me,
whatever you have in store,
just let it come to me,
i don't want to rush things,
or make things bad,
but i just want my future to be mine,
not anyone to have.

thank you future,
for hearing me out,
i'd like it if you'd answer,
i don't want to scream and shout.
It may not be worth it,
but it works just right for me,
please keep me happy,
and take care of us please.

be you
R L Nov 2020
We’re all going to die one day
So there’s no point in trying to fulfill
What others want
Just be you

queen
R L Dec 2020
call your favors,
ask for more,
beg and plead,
it's what you adore,
on your knees,
give a second chance,
you're no match for me,
i'm the queen of the land

enemies
R L Oct 2020
Why is everybody crying?
I didn’t matter to them a day ago
My enemies were now weeping into their mother’s arms
But why?
If they cared for me, why didn’t they show it?
....
I killed myself for a reason
I wrote a similar one

Untitled
R L Dec 2020
if our words are meaningless,
then why speak?
78 · Dec 2020
meaningless
R L Dec 2020
worthless art,
i've got no meaning,
meaningless words,
though i write what i'm feeling,
does that make me useless,
i really don't know,
it's hard to tell when i'm feeling so low
78 · Aug 2021
Wish
R L Aug 2021
She said, "I wish I were the clouds, for it's tears are prettier than mine."
He said, "I wish i were the mountains, so i could reach unto the sky."

She said, "I wish I were the sun, so people would miss me when I'm gone."
He said, "I wish I were the forest, so I would be where I'd belong."

She said, "I wish that I were of something that nature withholds,
it's peaceful out there,"

Which is only what she was told.
It all seems infinite,
but we don't know the story behind it.

The clouds, they wander lost,
the mountains want to be stronger,
the sun has no companion,
and the forests wish for forever.

hard to be happy
R L Nov 2020
i'm living happily,
yet i've had enough,
i want to laugh,
but i cry too much.
i live by name,
and what i want to be,
except sometimes it's hard to be happy
77 · Dec 2020
depressed
R L Dec 2020
like a large stone,
holding me down,
like im in a sea,
ready to drown,
like i'm stuck,
and i have nowhere to go,
death awaits me,
like i already know.
77 · Dec 2020
cracked
R L Dec 2020
my heart it beats,
but not for you,
my words i speak,
they're never true,
the way i lie,
and you say it back,
i never loved you,
your words are cracked
76 · Dec 2020
blooming secrets
R L Dec 2020
dig under the soil,
secrets hidden beneath,
the flowers take energy,
from the secrets we keep,
some blooming, some stand tall,
others dry up, wither and fall.
75 · Dec 2020
cliche
R L Dec 2020
not every sky is blue,
and not all the grass is green,
not every prince is charming,
and neither is the queen.
things aren't always the same,
and sometimes will never be,
so let go of cliche,
and let changes come to me.
74 · Dec 2020
Greek god
R L Dec 2020
i'm no Greek god,
i haven't come from the stars,
you can't expect me to do everything,
or connect anything afar,
i say those are just stories,
unless you prove me so,
because i really can't doubt you,
cuz you're high and i'm below
74 · Dec 2020
talk
R L Dec 2020
sad eyes,
how did i not realise?
it was pain,
regained it,
and it took 100 tries,
to get you to talk,
but how did i not realise?
you were broken,
a token,
to get you to talk,
i should've loved you,
but then you were gone

fake
R L Dec 2020
she's smiling,
but is she really joyful?
she needs some time to be her,
not smile when she's feeling awful.
She finds herself being too gloomy again,
so she tries to be fake,
and hides her feelings from her friends,
if that's what it takes.
She's going through her own struggles,
but doesn't want to show,
that she's not happy at all,
and that her feelings are to grow.
R L Nov 2020
Run a mile away from me,
And I’ll find you
Swim oceans away from me,
And I’ll sail back to you
Fly skies away from me,
And I’ll fly right back to you

If it’s love, then let there be no limits
73 · Oct 2020
sleepless nights
R L Oct 2020
I can’t stop thinking
about everything
and nothing
My mind is wandering at night
Searching the graves of obsessive thoughts
Walking the pavement of sadness
It’s keeping me up
And I
        just

       can’t

      sleep
I can’t sleep at night cuz of my obsessive thoughts...
73 · Nov 2020
all lies
R L Nov 2020
none of it was the truth
only what i chose to believe
71 · Dec 2020
change
R L Dec 2020
is it too late for change,
or are we just afraid of the consequences?
71 · Dec 2020
masked
R L Dec 2020
all around me are masked faces,
they hide in places
where nobody goes,
and walk around fearless,
because nobody knows,
they wish to be normal,
so they cover themselves up,
except everyone's the same,
they just think they're not enough
69 · Dec 2020
days
R L Dec 2020
some days, i feel as if i'm not worth being loved,
as if today will be my worst day ever,
as if anything and everything could go wrong,
and other days, i feel as if i can rule the world,
and i remember the people that love me
and the people i love.
69 · Dec 2020
prison
R L Dec 2020
i live in the prison,
of the fear of being judged.
It's like hell,
but even worse.
Every day, i spend being somebody i'm not,
even when i'm tired of it.
I'm an inmate in my own mind,
and i just can't get out.
68 · Nov 2020
falling
R L Nov 2020
i'm falling.
there's nothing to hold on to,
not your love, not mine,
not our hate, even combined,
it's not enough,
to keep me alive,
please don't let me go,
i want to survive
68 · Nov 2020
fox
R L Nov 2020
fox
i'm walking in the open fields,
and i see it
the red fur, black-tipped ears,
the agonizing bushy white tail
it stops in sight,
giving me an alluring stare for a few seconds
then swiftly runs with it's black feet in the grass
67 · Dec 2020
greedy
R L Dec 2020
they live for greed,
the innocent never freed,
their lives decreed,
they beg and plead,
so they leave them be,
until they heed,
they live for me,
evil indeed.
67 · Dec 2020
6 feet under
R L Dec 2020
six feet under,
there lies the bodies of the dead,
the ones who sacrificed their lives,
and those killed themselves instead.
There lies the fate,
of the ones that were to die,
some couldn't help themselves,
and others just wanted to fly.
67 · Nov 2020
aurora borealis
R L Nov 2020
the range of colors,
in the sky,
i can see your soul,
you let it fly,
i want to be,
with you for now,
then later i can forget,
that you were ever around.
the green,
the blue,
my love for you,
the purple,
the yellow,
the air so mellow,
the wind it blows,
and i let you go,
aurora borealis,
it reminds me of you.
66 · Dec 2020
demons
R L Dec 2020
i patiently wait for my demons
to take me to their home,
because i feel that i belong there,
and i know i'm not alone.
