Ill pack up your things,
Toss them in the yard,
Your clothes and my rings,
I'll throw them so ******* far

You don't have to worry,
They'll be back in their places tomorrow,
I'll make you breakfast I'm sorry,
I know better than to act on my sorrow

The comings days will be fine,
A few weeks of apologetic bliss,
I know you'll keep crossing my boundary line,
But **** I crave your venomous kiss
I can't blame you when I won't let you leave,
I always crawl back with my heart weeping at my sleeve

I know that you won't but I hope that there's change,
Hopelessly sticking around I know growth is in your range

I was created with the curse
to see beauty in everything.
the way light falls,
the way shadows linger,
the way the world breathes.

yet when I look at myself,
there is only silence,
only absence,
only the echo of what I cannot find.
I watch the world, their perfect show,  
Faces painted, confidence aglow.  
But beneath the surface, they're just like me,  
Insecure, afraid, lost at sea.  

Yet somehow, the world lets them belong,  
Embraces their flaws, sings their song.  
But what of me, who sees the truth,  
Who knows

I'm imperfect, broken,
Not fit to love, or to be loved.  
While they speak in circles, fill the air,  
I sit in silence, too much to bear.  

I choose the quiet, the lonely path,  
Avoid the noise, escape the noise.  
Days pass by in a fading light,  
I long for the end, the final night.  

I spend my days in a desperate plea,  
To end it all, to set me free.  
For in that end, I’ll find my way,  
Where meaning dawns as night turns day.  

For what is life to one like me,  
A shadow of what should be?  
An imperfect human, lost and bent,  
Finds meaning only when it's spent.
I don't know I just started to write this when I was feeling down and depressed

Oh to be a leaf
Blowing in the breeze
Going wherever the wind takes me

Oh to be a tree
Standing great and tall
With my head held high

Oh to be a bolt of lightning
Energetic and electrifying
Striking the ground with power

Oh to be a boulder
Big and strong
Never to be broken

Oh to be what I'm not
Because what I am
Isn't good enough

I am afraid of eyes,
Of thoughts and minds.
Afraid the "me" I see in mirrors
Might not be the "me" in others’ minds.

I fear the opinions, the whispered words,
The voices carving shapes of me.
What if their visions linger,
Ghosts of a face I cannot see?

They haunt me,
Questioning my skin, my bones,
The core of my existence.
Am I enough? Or am I shadows,
Fading in the light of others’ brilliance?

I fear I’ll never be content,
Forever chasing reflections—
Comparing my fragile self
To those I deem better,
Forgetting the beauty
That blooms within my imperfections.

This feeling of disgust
I can 't shake it off
Every look into the mirror
Hurts me even more
The tears are coming through
My makeup is now ruined
Is it me or is it you?
My reflection stares confused
This feeling isn't new
But I thought that I've got used
I'm stuck in this loop
Any hope is of no use

You can paint your face with makeup
Hide the insecurities
But you always stay the same underneath
There are really toxic girls in my class, all of them obsessed with makeup, using it to obviously make themselves feel pretty. I think this poem has two meanings, one is the toxic girls, the other is that no matter how well you mask, you always stay the same.

My House is locked
My Windows blocked
The Lights are dimming
The Kettle begin screaming

Ness boiling in the darkness
I’m searching for Loc Ness
The Ness is ticking
The Ness growing erratic
The feeling of your isolated self with hidden away worries and insecurities.
