L’eau
Je me sens transparent dans ce prison de verre
Dans la verre, il y a trop d’eau et cela coule
Quand les larmes coulent, l’inondation commence
Je me sens comme je noyade, même si tout le monde d’autre sait nager
Moi, tout seule, je suis une goutte d’eau
Perdu dans tout les autres
Une goutte d’eau qui ne sait pas respirer

My mind is flooded by thoughts of nothingness
Things that don't really matter, causing all of this distress
As I sit and breathe, trying to calm myself down
You sit next to me, noticing my lonely frown
"You are not alone," you mention
"I've been overwhelmed before, I've dealt with depression,
I have had anxiety, I have been afraid"
I hold your hand in mine, thinking of the trouble I have made
But before I can apologize, you say
"You are not a burden, yesterday, tomorrow, or today
You are not a problem that has to be solved"
And I feel less alone, though not everything's resolved

Some poems. Posting these together because they're short.
Moonlight and Raindrops
In the moonlight, there is rainfall
It drips off the roof, reflecting the stars in its puddles
The sound of rain is like a song
A song that only those awake can hear
In the darkness, I won't fear because the sound of rain calms me
a Forest in Fall
The warm colours surround what used to be green
As I sit beneath a large tree
With a cup of my favourite drink and a novel
Maybe a pen and paper to write stories
And my mind wanders
As the woodland creatures dance
And the birds sing on this lovely morning
A leaf falls on my page
Loved Ones
As I cuddle with someone I care about
And tell them how I feel
They calmly tell me that it's all alright
They somehow help fix problems I never knew I had or did not know how to fix alone
I'd love to spend all day with them
And tell them how much they mean to me
They make me feel less alone
When it feels like the whole world hates talking to me
a Photograph in the Wind
The image fell from their pocket,
Out into the wind
A memory that would last longer as an image,
Now gone due to a simple breeze
How can something someone cares about be ripped from them so easily?
Perhaps it can be returned by an act of kindness
But not everyone is that lucky
Some must seek their photographs themselves
How unfair people can be
Dreams of Flowers and Cafés
Taking sip of the warm drink,
They lazily glanced at the vase before them
Flowers were placed in it
Some red, some orange, some yellow, some pink...
They hummed a song to themself,
Taking another sip
And the smell of coffee and flowers filled the air
Fairies at Night
The lanterns lit the path home
Their homes. Their little houses in the forest, decorated in flowers
Their little bedrooms with clean wooden floors and neatly made beds
Their houses smell of cinnamon and there's no noise to disturb them
Sleeping through the night, curled up in bed,
The fairies have sweet, peaceful dreams

A Dream
That fuzzy feeling where you feel as if you were floating
And everything you see feels like a distant memory
When you wake up, it's foggy, like a cloud of smoke in your brain
And you could tell it was as real as the monster under your bed
But as you rest, it feels like any other day
Any other moment you have ever lived
You go on an adventure in your sleep,
A journey through your mind,
An entire story, forming a movie that you could only watch one night
And when you wake up, you forget bits and pieces of it
Or sometimes you forget the whole thing
This movie that you watched, whether you liked it or not, is hard to put into words
And it may seem silly looking back on it, but in that moment, as you slept,
It felt real.

It's the little things that make a good day.
I brushed my teeth and showered,
I played a fun game,
I saw the clouds in the sky.
These things bring me joy,
Forget about the rest.
I'm focusing on little things
Because that's what I have.

The screen flickers
The room gets cold
Everything slowly goes dark
Sounds of static
Followed by echoing laughter
Never a good sign, but nowhere to go but forward
The room feels as though it is crumbling
Pressure only now piling up
The tension is almost too much to handle
As the doors all seem to get stuck
There's one thing in his pocket
A portable flame to help him see
The room is bathed in red
And echoes of his past surround him
He walks onward, ignoring all his instincts
There is a sillouhette in a knocked-down door
It turns to face the frightened man
Red pouring from its neck and green beaming from its eyes
It might be game over,
It may just be the beginning
Hard to tell
But what he can see clear as day is that this is dark
And this is silence

If your words can paint a picture
If a drawing can explain things
Can someone explain to me
What it is I want to be?
Do I want to work hard to be the best I can be
Or would I rather just sit down and eat?
Is there time to do both? Can I make this happen?
Someone paint a picture for me
Because my words may paint pictures,
And pictures may explain things,
But I can't explain something I don't know
So if someone else made a painting
That explained what I wanted
Maybe I would understand what these things mean to me

Looking over the hills as the animals run freely,
a smile reached her lips and she stirred her tea.
The buzzing of the bees filled the air,
but all she could hear were her own thoughts.
Dreaming while awake is a distracting thing,
but far less distracting than dreaming while asleep.
As she took a sip of the hot drink,
her mind only wandered more.
All she had to do was think,
and she wanted to do so forevermore.

I dream of flowers, sunrises and trees
I see blue skies, books and bees
The stars shine bright
But we only see them at night
Well, I hope I can see one soon

The Sky
I try to touch it, but it is out of my reach
It taunts me with how far away it is
It likes to change, knowing that I will not
That my goals stay the same, that I am too stubborn
The sky is full of clouds, full of water that rains down, full of reflections
Reflections of the sky
The sky pulls you into its colours; its blue, yellow, white or red
The clouds take the shape of your memories
The clouds make me think of my past
The zephyr that flows, it blows me in too deep
And with a “whoosh” it is off I go
To its storm, its snow, its blinding lights and winds
Its colours, shapes, memories and past
The sky is an abyss that is always looking back at you
The sky is what you do not touch, but feel
But if you touch it, you might see how it feels
