At school I have many friends yet I’m lonely
I speak to them every day yet none of them know me
At street I see many humans but no humanity
You all talk about money but not about morality

There is a tear between each smile
Why to pretend that it is fine, my heart?
Hoping it will be just for a while
But I know it is tearing me apart.

Stop looking at me like I’m the monster
Each of you give my heart another fracture
Happiness, why not able to capture?
I tried and tried and tried again.

....I’m tired.

Dear person reading this

Dear person reading this, You deserve a full life of happiness You deserve to be surrounded by people who love and treasure you People who genuinely care for you Some days will drag you down but you deserve to be content No matter what happened No matter what others tell you You are not your past Your flaws do not define you Live to express not to impress Just live Go for it.

And Just Like That Letting Go Feels So Much Easier

There's something life changing in the way you tap your pen against the desk. I'm not just saying so to sound poetically nice on page, but because with the click of your pen meeting wood I can see myself on the other side, being caught in your gaze when you look out over your glasses. I see myself telling you how annoying it is. You sticking your tongue out and laughing. I would say it not because the sound drives me crazy, but because seeing you laughing does. When I say something as small as a nervous tick is life changing it's because I can feel you changing my life. Even in the small moments.

Letting the Past Die

Letting the Past Die 11/4/18 The past—everyone says to let it go Despite being its present descendants And resulting culminations—echoes Pictures paused, prompting pensive reminiscence And subsequent self-reflection. It stores Memories fleeting adrift in oceans Flooded from the stress of living life coursed In cutthroat waters, chasing promotions Or raises—hooked as soon as we taste it Just once. While revisiting my past, I Recovered fragments, memories lost in The growing countless chapters cast aside Ignored: old friends, faces I'd forgotten Unclaimed treasures of moments I’d have cherished Forever had I known what

When I Come to See You

When I come to see you I’ll bring sparkling wine And we’ll spill it on the floor. I’ll be ready for your smile. When your arms are round me With my belly pressed to yours, I’ll close my longing eyes. I’ll be ready for your soul. And in the early morning I will open out our fingers And silently I’ll go. Deep breath. Not ready yet.

after the party.

He's drunk in the backseat. "Anna. Anna. Anna," he moans, as if my name is a broken record his throat can't stop scratching; his voice is nettles and thorns, every natural prick and annoyance. My knuckles go white on the wheel. Ryan's riding shotgun and he won't look at me. "If you need me to drive him home, I can do it," he offers sheepishly. I don't answer, just press my foot to the gas and let the engine's rusty roar engulf John's voice. I peek in the rearview mirror. John's laying across the seat like a dead trout, and I can tell Ryan hasn't even bothered to buckle his seat belt. There's a photo album in John's arms that he clings to w

Exit, Stage Left

"You're lonely," he said. Thelma jumped, startled. She might not have even heard his voice over the thumping dance music, but it was just at that moment where there was a temporary lull between songs. He stood nearby, his head slightly tilted. Thelma glanced behind her, his words ricocheting in her mind - she wasn't sure what was more surprising, what he'd said or that he'd noticed and bothered to relay this observation to her at all. He was good-looking, tall and thin with artfully spiky hair, but something about him struck her as unsettling. Perhaps it was the way he spoke, or that his eyes were oddly piercing, but either way she felt hers

Rose and Iris

They loved their garden; Mother and Daughter would spend Hours in the sun. Behind their house was Green dotted with red, yellow, Pink and countless more. Mother loved roses; Daughter preferred irises. They planted with care. They watched the sun rise While blowing dandelions, And mimicked at dusk. Their birdbaths brought in Winged visitors who were Greeted with bird seed. All meals were eaten On a polka-dot blanket; Nothing but home-cooked. Catching butterflies, Looking for funny-shaped clouds, Climbing the oak tree. They ran, danced and sang, Never tiring of their Love for each other. Daughter did not think That her

i like to think you think of me

you didn’t come to the airport. i didn’t send the postcard. these are small defeats. easy to swallow, easy to look back at, to pinpoint what we could have done differently, things that would have yielded a different outcome. vary the variables, reset the experiment— you didn’t get me flowers. i didn’t remember your birthday. paper cuts, not amputations. too insignificant to be remembered past the day they happened. blame is a tricky thing. hard to hold in your hands. the first time you take cough medicine that hasn’t been sweetened. a bone that breaks and heals crooked. a load heavy enough that holding i

an open letter to my twelve year old self

one day you will cut all your hair off, and hang up a map of the world in your room and you will look at it on days you think your life is going nowhere. i hate to tell you this, but this isn’t your worst year. it also isn’t your best. one day you will cut all your hair off and realize that some poems need to be read out loud, to an audience, so you’ll take a hammer and some nails and build yourself one out of a girl whose veins look fragile but whose bones are strong, a boy who isn’t as tall as he thinks he is, but whose lifelines are the deepest you’ve ever seen, and a girl whose eyes remind you of the east

no happiness in misery

no happiness in misery (OR: My best friend died and I don't know what to do so I wrote a cento about it with Fall Out Boy lyrics) so, progress report: i am missing you to death, my best friend, dead and gone, and i want these words to make things right but i must confess, now that you’re gone, i try to picture me without you but i can’t, so now i’m just numb, bulletproof loneliness, wearing vintage misery, like i’ll never be the same, and i don’t want to forget how your voice sounds, (just off the key of sunshine riptide) and i need to keep you like this in my mind, wishing on every star, a cherry blossom about to bloom, the eighth wonder. and i could scream forever, as desperation takes hold, ‘cause i don’t know where you’re going, and i keep telling myself i'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday, and i’m so sorry how talking's just a waste of breath. it’s kinda funny, that everything i wish for will never come true. so i lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum. we

The poem is called Tired and not the whole content are my thought.
"At street I see many humans but no humanity" is something I often think about. I see how people look away at street, when some strangers touches me or make a racist comment. I see how they look away when a homeless people walk by. I see people bullying each other and not helping each other. I see how people want something in return when they helped me. It is weird and almost everything is now about money..

I'm sorry that I started to complain a bit but it is just what I think something. I don't want to imply that the actions mentioned before are all inhuman and wrong, but I just want to make you think for a bit..
