i dislocated my knee yesterday and shoulder during band camp, i understand your pain

Words

Your words,
They changed the world.

Your words,
Taught me not to trust.

Your words,
Showed me how to cry.

Your words,
Showed me loss.

Your words,
Showed me how to love.

Your words,
Showed me how to hate.

Your words,
Showed me regret.

Your words,
Showed me our fate.

I ignored it for so long,
I tried to walk away and pretend it meant nothing.
But did she mean nothing?

oo i just got another idea now im gonna write it

my ELA teacher told me I should enter a poetry contest but idk tbh

emo and proud to be exact

#anchor(Tears)
I'll never chase waterfalls.
I chased those tears for too long,
They never fall anymore.

I smile and laugh cause thats what I'm supposed to do.
I'm already pushing my limits
Because I wasn't born the man I'm supposed to be.

I cried, so many tears.
Whilst I tried to find the other half of me.
I looked in other people,
I looked in sports,
I looked in activities,
I looked in poetry,
and still I was nowhere to be found.

But I sit here, and I paint waterfalls with my tears.
Oh my dear, you'll learn to swim one day.
You'll float gracefully like a swan, across these tears.
But one day I'll be gone.
And you were.

Now I paddle like a dog,
Across these ponds of tears.
Now I move like a sloth,
Down these mountains of emotions.

Maybe I need freshwater.
Or maybe I need to cry again.

imma share the other one i wrote too gimme a sec

Puppet

I am nothing more than a puppet.
Move me how you want.
I have no feelings.
I'm not alive.

But maybe I'll be the next Pinocchio
And I'll be a real boy!
Or maybe I'm delusional and I'll end up in a mental hospital.

Be positive, they said.
Be yourself, they said.
People will accept you, they said.

They lied.
And now I am a puppet
On the strings of society
Dancing through the pain
Smiling and waiting for the next act
Of this pain we inflict on ourselves.

Expectations, The Musical!

Get ready for the next act, they said.
You changed your whole personality for a trend.
Now that trend is gone, and you're an outcast again.

You'll get thrown away too one day.
But me, I'll smile and laugh and dance my ass off.
So I never go there again.

Maybe blending in isn't so bad after all.
