You search and you seek Climbing over the peak Looking for answers while seeking the truth The answers were near The light was unclear The tunnel was dark But as the answer were becoming clear The truth finally came to light

So you see, I am full of cliches. Original thoughts do not plague me— I reek of mediocrity. Your grandma doesn’t think so, though. No, she spams your socials with hackneyed, corny plots And finds some superficial depth.

I watched a video And couldn’t make it to the end. It is no secret That anyone with more than one brain cell And a lick of common sense Would tear your sentiments to shreds.

At last, The truth finally came to light.

You, my good sir, suck.

They told us we were alone Drifting through space on our home No one else to talk to No one else to see

What they didn’t tell us was the danger In front of our eyes The billion little lights In the dark, empty night

We were being watched Evaluated, researched We lived our lifes so freely Unaware of the monsters around the corner

At night they discussed What to do with us The leaders we trusted An alliance they shouldn’t have made

They sold our souls and bodies To save their own small worlds And when they signed the deal There was no going back

They hunted and preyed Slaughtered and killed Killed our leaders too Because we were never supposed to survive

We never should have believed The lies about stars and night Because when the monsters came to earth The truth finally came to light

Let the party Let the party start Yeah Let the party start Heartbreak and drugs tearing me apart Tell them Percs to do their part Henny with a xannex bar Let the party start Let the fucking party start Let the party start Let the party start Heartbreak and drugs tearing me apart Tell them percs to do their part Relax and let the party start

In my heart it’s a avalanche Freeze freeze My bank account needs comas in it Cha Ching My body needs something in its system Green green The party never ends with me Eternity I get fucked up A little high a little drunk just To wake up And do it all again I’m in a trance Getting flashbacks of Maryland In a bottomless pit I’ll never land Abyss in me I’m too high I’ll never land I told myself that I’d never show up here again Running from my doom In 500 dollar shoes Misery avenue not a long drive too Only a matter of time before these habits tie a noose I know I’m not the only one We all got stuff that we all go through Late night thoughts Get into it Pills just do em When I get high my life feel like a movie Back to reality my life is a movie Ima rockstar ain’t none too it Let the party start Heartbreak and drugs tearing me apart Tell them percs to play their parts Henny with a xannex bar Let the party start Let the fucking party start Let the party start Heartbreak and drugs tearing me apart Tell them percs to play their part Relax and the let party Start I’m surrounded by a crowd But I’m By myself I’m my own best friend I don’t need no one else Looking at my mind It has problems but I’ll put them On the shelf Stash it away For a day That’s ok Now I got time to go back to my old ways 30 take my heart away Took it away ain’t leave a trace Took more I can’t feel my face Got so high Im up in the sky I can see all the serpents and snakes I still hang around them I won’t go away Caught in a trace Lost in this waste Took too many I’ve been high for some days I got nothing else to say My souls so dirty Purple rain Demons on me Go away I got drunk the other day Looked in the mirror and didn’t see my face Purple eyes Devil horns Devil Go Away Um um Living in doubt and fear The drugs will kill me early Their checking me out I need to get sober but it’s hard living without em They’re kinda the only thing other than Chloe that really makes me smile

Let the party start Drugs and heartbreak tearing me apart Tell them drugs to play their part Henny and a xanny bar Let the party start Let the fucking start Let the party start Heartbreak and drugs tearing me apart Tell them drugs to play their party Henny and xannex bar Let the party start Let the party start Drugs and heartbreak tearing me apart Tell them drugs to play their part Henny and xannex bar Relax and let the party start

Guilty talking for justification Mouth giving words with agitation Present me with gratification My hardships to bear You can take them

I’m sorry I should forget Talking and talking It’s hard to give Whisper my secrets Harden my heart I’m swimming Circling the dark

Sweet word trips take me for a spin Your words are my molasses Keep with the flow I can’t stop Addicted to the pulse Words and rhythms Silence of pattern.

(About realizing your escaping through poetry)

Everything that I thought I know It’s aborting Deserting me Every truth that I thought was true Has just became dead leaves on the ground Has gone wild What if the things I see are not as they seem Impossible yet clear How could I ever deny it I only believed what was right in front me Think what I could see The betrayal you portrayed I wanna say it’s all fake but No other explanation don’t really explain So no matter how insane it may seem You are left with only The cold hard truth It can’t be changed You can try Turn it round Flip it inside out Turn it off and on Rearrange it But ignoring only leaves scars So I remind you Never forget the way things are

A part of misses how I used to be How I used to think Someone get me out syncs A wish I wants a different me Not so critical not so cynical But you’re willing to risk it all Just to final the odds So even if I have to define the gods I will win this pointless war

The cold hard truth You can’t change it You can try Turn it round Upside down Flip it Inside out Turn it on or off Rearrange it But ignoring it only leaves scars So when I leave and die I remind you never forget They way things are

Frame by frame I see these moving in black and white Shot by shot Second by second Just me and all these lies

The cold hard truth the way things are

You can’t change it Even when it seems so bizarre You can’t change Ignoring the cold hard truth Only leaves scars So no matter what they may try

Shake the heavens Shatter the sky’s Today I may die But not before the truth comes to light

The truth finally came to light.

He was fooled, not for the first time in his life. He saw good in everything and everyone, he wanted to fix what was broken.

She wanted to stitch him together again even though his heart and soul was in a million pieces. So many flags, she saw them as red. She ignored them and held hope she had found her true love.

She cut everyone off that she loved, but did she really? It ultimately was coerced in her to do it, so she did it like the good girl she always was. She made mistakes, she was only human after all. She played his game right back at him, but you see the anger and rage was about to appear. She didn’t want to relive this again, she begged and held hope that she would soon be out of this.

When her father passed on, she awoke from her slumber. She realised the many red flags she ignored the whole time. He promised her everything she ever wanted then he cruelly took it away from her.

But you see, the twist to this poem is that the girl stood tall each time, she straightened her crown and kept going strong. He may have left without looking back but really, he actually set her free. The girl turned into a woman, she always was just a girl because she was taught to be like that. The woman turned into the queen she was always meant to be, but now she searched for her true alpha.

So you see, the truth finally came to light. She became wild and free, just like she was meant to be.

And she couldn’t give a fuck about the ugliest or the ugly.

Anonymously anonymous.

Out of darkness there will be light First comes the sun Last night is done Today has begun no more time to go back Living to fast high jacked my night Facing the sun every thing has been done so to the darkness there will be light so expose or neglect just know brightness always reflects

[not a poem, and not my idea. I just wrote the story]

I shrink against the lockers, waiting for the face I know all too well. But I wish I didn’t as much as I do.

“Hey… babe,” the deep voice I used to love more than anything comments, as his hand falls beside my head against the lockers. “What did you say you wanted to talk about?”

He looks almost nervous, his brown eyes searching the hallway for an unknown reason.

“The truth.”

Gavin’s eyes widen a bit.

“Wha- What? Why?”

Hah. Not so perfect now, Gav.

I’m trying to relish in seeing Gavin nervous, but my heart is still beating out of my chest. It hurts, to think of what he did.

I stand straighter, my eyes trying to capture his in a threatening stare.

“What’s the first name that comes to your mind? A person, not an object.”

The last few words burn in my brain. Of course, he won’t say my name. Not an object.

It’s not like he sees me as a person.

“Gavin.”

A scoff slips from my lips as I push his shoulder back. He himself looks taken aback, and not just by the gesture.

“What about besides yourself?” I continue, swallowing what I really mean to attempt to keep my cool.

“Ryan?”

There’s confusion in his tone, along with the fondness you would say when talking about a best friend.

“There’s a reason you’re not saying my name.”

The sentence must startle him because his jaw clenches, and Gavin forces himself closer to me, his hand returning to the lockers.

“Just say what you mean.”

Gavin hasn’t said my name in weeks.

“You just say my name,” I say, finally.

“What do you mean?”

“Say my name, please, Gavin.”

His expression shifts a bit, his teeth gritting together as he looks at me in aggression.

“Isla.”

The four letters are the coldest I’ve ever heard. Not a single ounce of love, joy, or even respect.

Which causes me to lose all of it for him.

My hand knocks into his shoulder, so hard, he falls back three feet away.

“To you, I’m an object. To me, I’m a person…” I decide to share the same feeling to him, “_Gavin.” _The word is bitter as I hiss it out. “I guess the truth finally came to light.”

And I walk off, waiting until finally I know he’s not following me.

The tears fall oh-so-slowly.

[adjusted prompt]

Got a crush on some guy, within seconds, I’m obsessed. But, there’s something holding my heart, breaking my chest.

I can’t even speak to him, it’s so pathetic. How do you like a guy who you only know is athletic?

I know a little more than that, though, he’s smart, kind, but I can’t speak a word to him, and now the broken glass is my mind.

Sometimes I wish the truth could come to light. It’s my own emotions that made me lose the right.
