If you are a poet and you didn't even know it
Round and round we go
Swiping and ghosting and telling each other you are a no
Then it becomes a game of blame
That this gender or that gender is to shame
While some of us are here and trying to be sincere
Others playing games and are real as a veneer
Not sure how much longer we can search as there seems to be no end in sight
But nothing else to do other than keep up the fight
Some of you will hate on this poem and question its intention
But it’s not my fault that you probably need an intervention
"The saddest thing is loving someone who means everything to you, while knowing you mean nothing to them." 💔✨
Tired of missing people who don't miss me. Tired of carrying memories that no longer have a place to belong. Tired of being strong when all I want is someone to notice that I'm falling apart.
The question is not if there’s life after death
But is there life before death?
Are you living or merely existing on this vast Earth
Whose revolutions around the Sun
Cause your body to rust with the passing years
Why are the happy so few and the despondent so many?
Who dares to rise above their misery to reclaim their joy?
Your shell is mortal but the soul is indestructible
Nourish it with the beautiful fruits of wisdom
Whose taste is sweet and pleasing and yet overshadowed by rich and decadent delights
That bring momentary pleasure and lasting regret
Our lives are vanishing with every moment
But before we fade into oblivion
Let’s burn brightly and bring light
To the darkness of our surroundings
Is it easy for you to fall in love?
when you find someone with rare qualities,
qualities.. that you find within yourself.
or that you wish you had.
Is it easy for you to fall in love?
If you’re shrouded in loneliness
and find a soul that shares your raw humility.
Is it easy for you to see past the other factors?
when the beautiful characteristics
which they seemed to have
are now muddled
with the reality that they’re not all-perfect.
they’re not everything you always wanted.
but who can truly offer everything you need in a person?
is it easy for you to fall in love… with selective parts of a person and not others?
Is it truly love then?
what if the parts of them,
that you love,
symbolize the parts of you that weren’t loved enough?
or that sought appreciation
through of via the person in question.
what if, subconsciously,
deep, deep, down,
you only wish to love yourself?
and - in seeing them,
wearing the traits you share,
you admire them on that basis?
Is it easy for you to fall in love?
well then,
why haven’t you with yourself?
why haven’t you beautified your traits,
why must you see them in others, but not in yourself?
is it validation you’re looking for?
the qualities in them which you find endearing, does it validate you because you relate to them?
I’m just waiting for a girl who isn’t even interested in me.
🥺🥺
Never have I called you,
Though I always hear your echo.
Never have I held you,
But you stick to me like shadow.
And Never have I loved you,
Yet in my heart you always grow.
No you’ll Never leave, dear Loneliness,
You Always say ‘Hello.’
3am you wants a relationship. 8am you wants 8 more hours of sleep. 😴

You’re not two people against each other. You’re two people against the problem.
