You have this idea of how a person is—your friend, your parents, your significant other, your family, and it can be completely different from the experiences others have had. Thing you didn’t know happened before you. Hidden secrets which could have changed the course for your life. It’s like they feel like a stranger suddenly.

It’s a scary thing when fear takes over and changes the person you once were

When i was 19, i was so anxious and depressed i wrote my own funeral plans. i knew what i had done, and honestly it’s a reminder of a step i almost took in the city.

my boyfriend never knew that, and honestly the news really hit him. more of the fact there was one moment in life where i wanted to die, and he wasn’t there to help.

im better now. don’t worry. just sometimes secrets like that come up and i’m in a wreck as to what to do

if you need help never hesitate to call someone you trust of the hotline that the us has if there’s no one you trust ( 1-800-273-TALK ) cause that’s not something you should do alone.

i wrote this two days ago, and it’s like sometimes, we ignore the people who need help the most (i myself included). Sometimes, it’s us who needs the help, and we’re ignored. never give up. ask for help or help others. it could really change a life

I made this person into an angel—what i saw myself as, because they seemed perfect too. Of course, it wasn’t obvious they were only in my life to keep me off track, but so desperate for love, I begged myself to keep them.

although i was once so shy and meek, that eventually I wanted to get to the point where i would stand up for myself. it took years, but i did. slowly but surely.

Sometimes, I could barely recognize myself, and turned into something i know i’ll always regret

I used to see him everywhere. Find happiness in the little things he did. Eventually, the negative things came out, and i was stuck because i thought i was in love.

That night, the memory came back to me, and it overshadowed my life and happiness. However, I’m happy now, and I don’t let his memory take over my life. There’s more to life than the past.

A person’s presence can bring you peace, and that’s okay.

sometimes, it’s not so obvious to the person, but to everyone around them. sometimes, you hide things to save the other person—they can’t handle it or they just don’t want to. however hurting yourself isn’t the answer. i realized i had to live my truth, but finally found closure in that moment. even if it hurt. #canva #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poems #poet #poetrylovers #writing #instapoet #instapoetry #loveofpoetry #gracieinhermind https://www.instagram.com/p/B_jJ2OoJwht/?igshid=1igfaz97pt8kx

"It changed over time"

You never knew I loved you.

You just thought I had a silly little school girl crush on you for a while.

That it faded away like our friendship

But you're wrong.

Everyone knew the truth

It was right on my tanned chubby face.

Because I'll lie with my mouth but my eyes can't

It never slipped out because I knew it wasn't best for you.

Yeah maybe I hurt myself but I didn't hurt you

Or maybe I did

Hurt whatever friendship we had left when I said l like you

Didn't mean to tell you on that day

But you wouldn't answer and I couldn't live without an answer

You went down Aurora Drive

Getting lost on the way to heaven.

In a town I hadn’t seen for over a year.

Showing me things I remembered,

But only in buried retellings

Of a life I used to live happily.

honestly, i still remember this moment. it sticks to me even years later. meant a lot to a young me. gave me some closure

“we ache for him”

the list of conditions

diseases

viruses

that held my dad

lay hidden in the notes of my phone

and found peace next to

my old address note

and my grocery shopping note

found that after his death

they wouldn’t be open as often

with the same intensity to know

about the period of history

i wasn’t there

or don’t remember

because i was carefully tucked away

from the mess by my mom

all i know about is the

hospital visits

and the medication

and the fainting

but i know there was so much more

now that he’s gone

it’s all faded away into his soul

and there’s no chance

for me to gain the knowledge

of his life

i’ve lived a long time without my dad. he died in october, and the full list of sicknesses he had i’ll never truly know. i wish sometimes i knew not just about how sick he was, but about the life lessons he learned and should have taught me.

“Growing old”

Your hair is salt and pepper

Already showing signs of grey

You’re 19

Yet have lived so much

(And so little)

Of life already

i wrote this two years ago, but this poem still feels so relevant to me at 21
