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 l...
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

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 ...
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 rhy...
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 ...
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 d...
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 f...

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 com...
Shoot.
Shoot shoot _shoot_.
I didn’t see…
I didn’t realize…
I didn’t know, I’m sorry.
I didn’t realize.
But… what happened?
What…
What did I do?
I’m sorry.
I didn’t know…
I don’t know what happened.
I don’t know what’s wrong.
But I do know that I love you,
That I’ll give whatever you need.
You need space? Got it. I’ll stop texting. (I’m sorry I kept doing that, I didn’t realize)
If/when you need ...
