Sorry girl
it seems like I'm obsessed
but you need help
so I'm writing another one


She was on her third try
already starting to loose
the hope that seemed so fresh
just last year.
yes
her friends caught her when she fell
but that didn't mean she wasn't bruised
her pain was still there,
though the fresh scars where still closing
blood still stained her clothes
and no matter how hard she tried
she couldn't wash it off
the memories were there
for good
but this time 
it was different
she wasn't the same girl
desperate for the one thing 
just barely 
our of her reach
she was changed
she was prepared
she could defeat
anything hurdling towards her
deflect any bullet
dodge any missle
shes ready 
and this time 
she'll get that man
she'll fight
she'll kick ass
and she'll win

 

When we where young
we thought we had it all
we never felt self doubt
we would luagh and play without
cease
paying no mind to judgment
our thoughts where clouded 
with imagination
and we didn't see
how the older girls would glare at us
in disgust
Now
everything has changed.
we look at ourselves
like the mirror 
is some snarling
drooling creature
about to tear us apart
we cower in the corner
tears like a river of stars
down our cheeks
our postures are slanted
by the weight of 
self doubt
crushing our shoulders
our minds are twisted
riddled with hatred
to the broken mold
that we are trapped inside
our eyes cry tears from
the deepest kind of pain
as we flinch back from our own reflections
in the glass 
that our screams have shattered
because even if the only ones who hear
are the paintings on our walls

okay Ella
let me start off by saying 
when you see this poem,
you might cry
you might laugh
you might scream
you might rage
but each and every one of us know that 
this
is 
the 
truth.
now keep reading, because this is gonna be long
but we both know you need it.



Once
there was a young woman
with billowing blonde hair
golden like the sun
eyes determined and caring 
deep brown like warm coffee
heart singing with memories of friendship
and opportunities
and love.
but though her smile
and her heart
shone through like a sunset of beauty
for everyone to see
she ignored it
when she was sad
when she was lonely
she closed her eyes
pushed away her tears
faked a smile
and laughed like normal.
But I could tell
because her voice wasn't like the sun anymore
joyful and funny

If your soul is cracked in two
listen to this poem
If your eyes are wet from tears
listen to this poem
If your mind aches from pain
listen to this poem
but dont just listen
dont just whisper
dont just lie awake and wish
dont just stand back 
as your dreams unfold to dust
stand up 
stand tall 
smile big
love yourself

 

I've been watching you
For some time
Can't stop staring
At those oceans eyes
Burning cities
And napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

No fair
You really know how to make me cry
When you gimme those ocean eyes
I'm scared
I've never fallen from quite this high
Falling into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes

-ocean eyes, Billie Eilish

 

bitter words
bitter words
clash without end.
as friends become enemies,
and enemies become friends.
angered voices
scream out what they think to be true.
only one side to pick,
one side will lose.
long quiet enemies,
rise from the dark.
expecting to win
but not making their mark.
determined friends
will fight 'till the end.
with their hearts filled with hope
that the broken will mend.
cast away leaders
whose faith never died.
a ocean of tears
is less then they've cried.
the reason for loss
the root of the pain
is nothing compared 
to the heartless's bane.

This is dedicated to two of my friends, urging them to persist, and fight against all of the injustices that threaten our world.
Do not let them hurt you,
though their words cut like rusted knives
though their eyes bore like daggers.
Do not let them hurt you,
Though the names they call you to sting like needles
and the pains they cause you tear like claws.
Do not let them hurt you,
though their expectations pelt you like stones
though their thoughts beat you like fists.
Do not let them hurt you,
because your family will stand by you with determination
and your friends will stand by you with dignity. 
Do not let them hurt you,
because the only ones they are hurting,
are themselves.
