I was never there when it happened. I was never by their side. I’m alone now. Alone in the world, alone in the wind.

I’ve held in my tears for so long. I always wanted to pretend it never happened. But I forced myself to come here- for _them_.

I forced myself to come here so I could accept it for once.

It had never felt real. I had kept pretending that they weren’t gone. That it was just yet ...

I waited for you,

I said that I would

That you would come back

And I’d be here for you

It was so long ago

It was hard to let go

But we needed a break

So you said you would go

One day it came

And the next thing I know,

You’ve come back,

But I no longer need you...

A tree is rooted in the soil

Deep and strong

And growing

Forever and ever and ever

But not me

Not the shadow

I can wander

Far and wide

I sleep in the tree branches

Where my home is

Where I live

And I breathe

But in the nighttime is when I am free

Hidden from all the sight

Able at last

To go to where I want to be

When everyone is asleep

I stretch from the leaves

One dark wisp at a time

Slowlin...

Some nights I lay silently on the grass and listen to the trees argue.

Their rustling leaves helps to take away my mind when it is all jumbled in one big mess.

The trees have survived so much more than me. Remembering that helps me to know that whatever troubles I have, I can get through.

My problems are so small in perspective to the large trees. The trees that have grown here for centuries.

It’s been five years

Since you have seen the moon,

Five years of never ending sun

It’s bright all day

The nights don’t happen,

Never breaking the pounding light

At first it was a gift

And now it is a curse

Just need a break from the endless hope

The days all merge to one,

A year is but a second,

As if time has never passed

Only remaining in one small minutes

A brief, single second

That will n...

I was a wayward, a wanderer

Always going off the paved path,

And into the one of unknown.

Travelling further and further

Away from the one I was set for.

My own way was what mattered

My own hopes, my own dreams,

The ones that were for me.

But they didn’t get me far

I was always stuck in a loop.

But they still held on to me

And lead me back to the start,

I still felt lost and alone.

The key they’...

I was quiet, but I was not blind. That is what I want to tell people when they say I’m too shy.

I was never shy, I just had nothing to say. Nothing that was worth a person’s time.

I have always hated it when people call me too quiet. That is not what I am.

I listened to everything. I did my job. Exactly what I was supposed to.

Why should someone be mad at me for being a good student?

Did you ...

The sky is dark outside, in the middle of the night. I should be sleeping right now, but I can’t. It’s easier to stay awake when my mind is racing.

I enjoy the peacefulness of the middle of the night. The quiet and the darkness. It is then when I can finally think.

I sit up in my bed and throw the covers off. I need fresh air. It will help me relax and think.

I walk over to the other end of my ...

Love is the lie

That keeps us alive

It keeps us on going

And fighting each day

We’re stronger

When we believe it

Then you know it is there

If you just hold on tight

Even at the lowest

And darkest of times

Just the thought of a love

Can bring you to the light

Not even a deep love

Or strong hold too tight

Just a small little feather

That floats on just right

A piece to hold on to

To keep growing...

We went inside today

That’s what we were told

When we were playing outside

Enjoying the nice bright day

Go inside

They all told us

So we did, locked in our rooms

And never to come out

Glued to the computer

They told us, keep looking

Our lives revolve around it

Just keep on clicking

Who is the new face

On the flat of my screen?

I’ve never met then before

But they recognize me

Come sit around th...
