Perhaps
Perhaps if I didn't say
Perhaps I'd be okay
Perhaps I'd be able to laugh at the pain
Perhaps I'd see sunshine in the rain
Perhaps I'd be able to love
Perhaps, though, I would not

I like the structure and conveyed emotion.

ooooooh that's good! i like it

anyway there was a shooting in my love's county and one of the shooters was trans so he dressed more fem for the day because he was afraid someone would pick on him and i got really sad so i wrote a thing.

please, drop your weapons.(i'm on my knees.)

there is so much ugly.
men with guns and words and
women lying dead and
kids with mind and body
bruises and
my lover can’t bind cause he’s
afraid and
i'm sobbing in the shower because i've
got to hide him and me
until we’ve aged.
no more. no more.
i want to drown all of this in
love,
flood it like
the melting snows in april
until we’re all soaked to the bone
and see each other clearly.
until we can touch and hold and laugh and
know
that we are not each other’s peril,
please. all of this anger –
it's breaking my heart.

Okay so I wrote more

Perhaps
Perhaps if I didn't say
Perhaps I'd be okay
Perhaps I'd be able to laugh at the pain
Perhaps I'd see sunshine in the rain
Perhaps I'd be able to love
Perhaps, though, I would not

Perhaps if I was smart
Perhaps you'd know my heart
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
Perhaps you'd finally know how I see you in the sun
Perhaps you'd understand how you twinkle when there's none
Perhaps when there's no light, you'll shine on me from afar, because
Perhaps, my love, you are my guiding star.

I like the structure and conveyed emotion.

thank you!

ooooooh that's good! i like it

ik i was rlly sad yesterday oof

14 Million

Humans making excited noises
Too many options, not enough choices
Too late
Too late
What did the angels feel when they fell down?
Earth's one gray circus, and we're the clowns
We don't understand each other, I confuse me
As kids lay in blood, we talk about bees
We're so numb to ourselves, it's just normal now
We're so bent with our work, we can't even bow
2 is tragic, 14 million's a statistic
The knights are only there to taste the princesses' lipstick
Later
Later
I don't mean to pry, but I'm just so curious
Why would the Creator want to keep making us?
Goodbye
Goodbye
In this world, the saddest eyes aren't red
They're drier than the bones of the dead
Tongues sticking, pale faces, jaws lock
What we're walking through is not mud, sticks and rocks
The fingers spasm from years of mental age
The pencil screams as it crosses out the whole page
And to the hopeless from birth, who couldn't breathe enough to pray
There's no sad song chord, not enough flower bouquets
There's never any time, no attention to pay
There's nobody left to just take one second and say
sorry
sorry.

fuck that's good

holy shit

that almost made me cry

i never cry

It seems like
the only thing I can't do
the only thing I can't be
is me

I set sail
across the wide sea
I ran free
faster than the mighty wind

I've painted masterpieces
I've sung songs
I've done good deeds

I've been good
morals stronger than steel
I've listened
learned
read
studied

and still

the only thing I can't do
the only thing I can't be
is me.

fuck man me too

Today I cried,
Because I realised that love for me,
Wasn’t roses or letters,
Wasn’t holding hands or kisses,
It was texts and pictures,
It was ‘u up?’ and ‘wat u at?’,
The love I want,
Only exists in daydreams and tv shows,
The love I want,
Isn’t real anymore.

(I’m sorry this one is literally shit compared to the other ones. Especially that one by @Bandito, loved that one.)

ooooooooooooooooooooooh i love both of those! (@Periwinkle and @Idontunderstandthatreference)

thx elena

mhm! <3

Thank you @ravens !!

of course! <3

Marrionete
Twisted strings
Broken rings
Too many beautiful things

I pretend so much I forgot who I am
All my emotions disgused by a sham
Falling too slow to know where to go
I’m sorry, my heart says, beating with a painful glow

Marrionete
Twisted strings
Broken rings
Too many beautiful things

The stars above, normally so rife
Make my stomach flip, twisted by a knife
Those books I read are the only things that are real
I put on so many, so many masks to appeal

Marrionete
Twisted strings
Broken rings
Too many beautiful things

So many wanna claw to the top
I claw my heart out, they tell me to stop
Four different worlds fit inside my head
The pain is the only thing keeping me on my deathbed

Marrionete
Twisted strings
Broken rings
Too many beautiful things

My regime is shattered
All the armies spattered
On the terrible spikes that line my thoughts
Pain like this can only be sought

I’m sorry

Here are a couple I've written:

Calling out to you
Seeing what you will do
Realize you're screaming too

Endless circles,
Running around.
Trying to get out
But the doors are closed
To this labyrinth.
Shadows
Chasing you.
Children Crying
So close
But not there.
Round the corner
Running away.
Trying to get out
Of this labyrinth.

I’m clinging
Clinging to the world
Clinging to a dream
Clinging to the fantasy
Clinging to my world
Clinging for dear life
Clinging, but
I know I need to let go
But I know I can’t let go
So I’m clinging.
Forced to let go
By the world.
Falling, but
There’s nothing to hold on to.
Falling to the ground
From my city in the sky.

Running away
From ourselves
Our identity
Our personality.

Running away
From our world
Our life
Our home

Running away
From our cares
Our Fears
Our Demons.

Running to
Our end
Our release
Our Graves.

In this human race.

You can keep your sun
I need the rain
Those grey skies
Hold all my pain
Oh, oh, oh

I wish I could see you
You have no idea; don’t have a clue
You wanna know my pain, know my pain
You can’t without the London rain

You can keep your sun
I need the rain
Those grey skies
Hold all my pain
Oh, oh, oh

So pack your bags, come with me, love
I’ll show you the fire-stars I wish on up above
I’m much too close now to back away
I hope that now you’ve seen my scars you choose to stay
Hold tightly to the canary on your head
Sometimes the rain is purple, most often it is red.
So what do you think? I’m a little insane!
But you could be too with a bit of London rain.

You can keep your sun
I need the rain
Those grey skies
Hold all my pain
Oh, oh, oh

Please don’t walk away
I need your sun
Take away the rain
I don’t trust you with the weight of all my pain

i love all of those!!
