I usually write about darker themes, but I am definitely going to try and change that. Please give me feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

If only
We often hear this phrase in moments of regret
If only I had been there
If only I saw the signs
If only I said this
Maybe that’s okay
To express regrets with this phrase
Perhaps that’s what we need to say
When we know why we failed to succeed
But this phrase is not always bad
It is often misunderstood
It can express empathy and sadness
It can be used for good
It can tel...
Home is where the heart is
At least, that’s what everyone says
That home is where you belong
Full of family and friends
But what if I’m different
What if I have a new perspective
Something that they don’t understand
I’m a typical introvert
Neurodivergent too
I’m not the same
There is no us
Just me and you
I prefer to be alone
Seeking solace with my thoughts
I have one good friend ...
I tend to stay up late at night
Usually until two or three o’clock
Many people call me crazy
But this is when my mind is most clear
When I can truly sit and think
When my thoughts don’t disappear
For it’s always late at night
When my creativity lights its spark
When I write my poems and stories
With their themes so complex and dark
It’s late at night as I write this now
When a thought ...
Life
What is this strange concept
Is it as simple as our hearts beating in our chests
Is it laying down at night to rest
But flowers do not rest
Neither do the leaves on the trees
So what is it then?
What connects the things that have life?
What connects us and them?
The answer
Is actually quite simple
It’s simple, yet so sad
To know that in order to be alive
You must also be able t...
Waiting
Anticipation
Adrenaline
Shaking
This is how a performer feels onstage
When you find joy and comfort in the spotlight
When two minutes feels like two seconds
You don’t notice the crowd
You don’t hear them
You don’t see them
It’s just you
You and your passion
I put in hours of practice
Always perfecting my skills
I’m often asked why
Why I give up my life to practice and ...
Everything is so peaceful here. I feel weightless, like I’m floating. All the pain from before is gone, I don’t question it. There’s no point in worrying when everything’s clearly fine. It’s quiet, calm, there’s no stress, no need to rush. I’ve never felt anything like this before. The temperature is perfect, it’s not too dark or bright. Everything is perfect.
So why do I feel as if something is ...
Can you hear me?
We hear that phrase so many times in our lives
It’s a phrase that we both love and despise
It’s amazing really
What that phrase can do
It can make others be silent
Force them to listen to you
It gives you a power unlike any other
To make others listen and see them cower
But on the flip side
We cower in fear
You silence our voices
As the end draws near
How will I survi...
My heart sinks as I see the person my mind created at 14. Her black hair in a short pixie cut, the bright emerald green eyes. She’s tall, about 5’8” and her skin is even and pale. Her proportions are perfect in every way. Her makeup is a perfect balance between dark and natural, drawing even more attention to her eyes. I’m saddened as I see the long sleeve black crop top along with a black miniski...
My heart is pounding, I can’t focus on anything. He can’t be gone, he just… can’t. I… I don’t understand. He was supposed to be invincible. He was supposed to beat it. All I can see is his body, right there, in a casket. I’m only fourteen. What am I going to do without him? This wasn’t how my life was supposed to go. He was supposed to teach me to drive, see me graduate, bring me to college, help ...
I am a warrior
That I will never deny
Yes I fight in battles
But not ones visible to the naked eye
They say that I’m young
Tell me that life isn’t always fair
But I know that they’re wrong
They can never truly say they’ve been there
I never asked you for much
Always thinking ahead
Working behind the scenes
So you could keep your pride
I grew up quite quickly
Learned how to meditate ...
