hey you. why
do                          you
always                       want
to                          confuse
                     me.
                its
                 always
             either
     this
or

when emotions goes overboard. what do you choose more- listening to your head or your heart more?

The Man Who Never Was

The man who never was
Among a myriad of people
A shadow cast over water
Continually changing shape
Seen yet absent in presence
Opaque ... Yet a void
The man who never was
Translucent illusion
I could swear I heard him speak
Or was it simply the return of an echo from long ago
Again he didn't stand on the pier last night
Where he had never stood before
Therefore I ceased from looking for him
In places I knew he never was
The man who never was

last few months.

everyday i stare
into the screen

hoping words
spill out from
my head

it seems to all
stay within
I don't know
the reason why.

my fingertips feel
numb from pressing
on the same k-e-y-s

everyday i stare
into the screen

my
words

                  l                     g                 to make sense.
  i         l          i      n

I haven't been active the last couple of months. I guess inspiration sometimes is hard to find.

Shape

You have shaped me into something
I never wanted to be

but that's okay,
I can't blame you

Perfect

poetry ain't perfect if you are not there;
dress and suits are for models
but I don't want to see you unhappy,
so we'll pause
but don't worry, we'll quickly forward it
just give me his name
and I promise he will end up in my flame.

It's hard, I understand
But believe me
Trust me
That you're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
And you're so ******* beautiful
Even the mirror claps
Even the camera cheers
So be happy and always remember that I'm always here
Be happy and say '*******' to all those skinny *******.

this is dedicated to my friends and anyone who have been body shamed. sorry if this is really lame and boring but with all of my heart, i dedicate this to u guys. just know that your body doesn't symbolize u but your heart and what's inside does. love u.

?

I    just
                want                you
to                        tell
me                       one
                         god
                       ****
                    simple
           yet
         so
          confu-
          -sing
         thing.

         why
        ?

My first go at shape poetry, doesn’t flow super great but I don’t hate it too much

Hourglass

The  grit  of  my  teeth  seeps
  Sand,  grinding  under  my
    Fingernails and weaving
       It’s  way  into  my  hair
         Just like your hands
            Used to do. What
              Has time done
                  To us, my
                      Love?
                  Who am I
            Without you but
         Negative space that
       Fills no void, only static
     Chaos  all  too  divine  to
   Be confined in glass? Turn
  Me over and let me run out,
My pieces crumbling like sand.

Exposure Therapy

.               Having                                         L
         A glass heart                             A                         Y
     Is very good in theory:            E                                 O
Pretty from the outside,       H                                          U
Filled up with hope the inside.
But didn't they warn you?                                                    E
That glass is hard and cold?                                               R
    That lonely dreams will fade?                                      O
        That "protecting yourself"                                   F
            Sometimes is the thing                                  E
               That hurts you most ?                           B
                   So before you build
                        Your heart of ice                     K
                             Never forget:                  A
                                 To be loved,            E
                                     You might       R
                                           Need     B
