Poetry Collection

I started writing poetry for fun when I was 10 years old...and I've put a few of those in here...:O Those are marked 2011. I'm fifteen now, so be expecting some angst. :P Oh, and I adore a good haiku. :)

Mt. Fuji
tickling snow glints
point on mountain bathed white
beauty unveiled

Konoha
the golden leaf fell
quickly touched the ground
color turned brown

Snowflake
the icy burst
delicate structure
melts in my hand

Morning
silver branches
coated by a thin sheen
ice droplets form

Little One (2.14.2014, edited 6.27.2014)
Don't cry, little one
Yes, the world is hard
And though your hands and knees may bleed, little one
You will survive
Please dry your eyes, little one
I am here
And though the rain seems to never end, little one
Hold on to my hand a little longer and maybe
You'll discover the light in the clouds,
Little One

Untitled (4.18.14)
It's just a matter of
time
before my demons come falling
down
on me again
Before
my wits
falter
under the stress of
holding
the heavy sky
And
blood trickles down my
arms
from the pain in my
heart
It's just a matter of
time
before they realize what they've done
wrong
when I lose it
sobbing
on the cold, hard
ground.

Little Flower (2.14.14)
Small flower uncurls
pink lips peel apart
sun warms her petals
She is alive.

Excerpts from Quick-Step Two (4.4.14)
Fragile cracks in a crystal glass
Rainbows faintly forming
Time spreads by like in the past
The edges of consciousness slowly warming
...
Like fragile cracks in a glass
Our reality is ever on the brink of collapsing
So oblivious are we to time's quick step passing
That soon we are dead; humans aren't meant for lasting.

Vines (4.18.14)
Entangling vines
slither up
roses, tulips
Sweet perfume
tiny drop of blood
chest contracts
Bliss and pain
red
black
white
Light.

Cry (4.21.14)
Soft, exhaling breath
wavers, imperceptibly
A tiny lip-lick
A slight tightening of the jaw
A little slump to the shoulders
She refuses to cry

Untitled #2
the tears slip past my eyes
treacherously falling on
intertwined fingers
Glimmer for an instant
before slipping out of view.

Nothing (2.14.14)
It's nothing, I swear
I'm completely okay
I'm just a little scared
just in a little pain
I'm just a little desperate
It's nothing, I swear.

Untitled #3
can't you see my point of view?
I'm chained to rock like Prometheus
society is my eagle
and she is my Zeus.

Untitled #4
Night fades away
and I'm terribly
lost
I need a guiding hand
to help my through the
frost

Untitled #5
slipping away
fainter, fainter, gone
blood runs through your fingers
a little too late
to save her.

San Valentin (2.14.14)
Bravery and loyalty
A lion's roar
A softened heart
And a battle soars.

Untitled #6
ridges of ivy
valley of sweet spring greens
leaf lies on ground

Sapling
young sapling male
looks to a frosty sky
is eager to grow

Untitled #7 (5.11.13)
honor leads him forward
while safety lies behind
red jewels fall like tears
from the shining sword

Something (4.4.14)
There's something there
A spark
A star
A light
A smile
There's something here

Ode of Anymore (4.4.13)
Can't cry anymore
Too bottled up
Too enclosed to feel more than just pain
I'm too frozen
There isn't healing from this kind of dream
Take it away
Lay it on the floor
I can't take this anymore

Close (4.14.13)
I know how it feels
standing on the edge
I know how it feels
to press against the wall in fear
yet want to fall
free.
So close...

My hand is outstretched
Won't anyone take it?
Lead me from the darkness
into the light
One of little faith
Spark some life into the chain.

I'm reaching out
Isn't anybody out there?

Excerpts from No Good Goodbye (4.4.13)
...
Take my hand
Lead me out of the darkness
I don't have faith in you
But what do I have to lose?
..
I can't seem to keep my grip
It seems like I can't make it another night
I'm not done, I'm far too young
(I'm afraid to be all alone)
Can't close my eyes
...
Whisper a lullaby
Hold on to those childhood memories
Good times lost long ago.
The future holds a light
tell me I'm gonna make it another night

Disoriented (10.4.2012)
Doesn't it seem simple?
It's something I remember
a lullaby
or
a story
I realize
I've been fighting
too hard
to be
who I'm not
Then why
is it so
hard to
be
just
me?

Goodbye (4.4.13)
You've whispered
lies
into my trusting ears

You give another twisted
reason
to not say goodbye

This poem is just another
broken-hearted
attempt to stay whole

I won't close my eyes
I won't take your hand
I won't let you lead me into the darkness
I no longer have faith in you.

Mine (10.4.2012)
"Lay it all down"
I know
You can't expect it of me
Why should I
expect it of
you?

"Tell me your
secrets"
the constant
back-and
-forth
invisible
silent
conversation

Out of the shadows
you emerge
You say (again)
"Tell me your secrets"
But,
I can't tell you
mine.

The First Note (10.4.12)
it's the BREATH
the fear
AND
hope
as you SING
that
first
NOTE.

Cut Me (10.4.12)
Cut the rope
Cut the soul
Cut my heart
in half
You always
are able
to cut me
with your words.

Responsibility (6.8.12)
A child,
masked as an adult
Forced to grow
much too quickly.

Lies and Expressions (2011)
A smile can hold so many lies
A frown can lead you astray
A blank expression
Gives the impression
that you aren't listening.

Nowhere Fast (2011)
Forever is a long time
and I'm going nowhere fast

The river's speeding by me
as I wait for you to cross
Your crossing takes a long time
and you're going nowhere fast.

The Shell (2011)

Whenever I take a breath
I feel the heaviness inside
Maybe a deep breath lightens it a bit,
but it never leaves me free.

My laughs are held back
my smiles strained
My whole body screaming to be free

How does no one notice this shell
I have been caught in?

They sneer and jeer
and I pretend not to notice,
but I do
and it hurts

This shell has done more harm than good
yet I can't shed it
Anymore than a turtle leaves his shell.

The Shell 2.0 (6.27.2014)

Soft inhale
to the cavern where the all is dark
and all is heavy
like the sky is
pressing down
your knees are buckling
So you retreat to the shell.
Breathe in, breathe out
Expel
For an instant, the weight has
lifted
before crashing
down once more.

You look around the hallway (can anyone sense a fraud?)
your smile as bright as can be (can no one see the strain?)
Laughing like bells (can no one hear how shallow it is?)
You force your shoulders to be straight (can no one see the tenseness?)

You are a master of disguise
weaving masks and shells like a magician
Now you see it, now you don't
This shell is more like a wall
It protects you

And you walk with your head high
eyes avoiding meeting anyone at all
The barbs are there, prodding and biting
You retreat into your shell
but it stings and hides away to your
cavern inside.

You want someone to see past
the cheerful exterior
To rip off the shell that holds you back
and teach you to live again.

(meh...don't know if that ^ was any good...)

Only in Writing (2011)
Only in writing
do I start to understand myself
and who I am

Forever (2011)
Forever hold a grudge
Forever standing bitter
Forever never forgetting
Forever always giving
Forever always regretting
Forever always human
Forever never ending?
Forever is a lie.

Hurting (2010)
Some people when they're hurting
scream it way out loud
Some get help and let it out
Honestly, I don't know how.
Some people turn to the darkness
others to the light
But me, I keep it all inside
and let it fill me up.
Slowly, slowly
sometimes bubbling up and overflowing
while smiling through the pain.
For I am afraid of jumping
high or low
Afraid to trust though some trust me
My trust has been shattered
And I am afraid of depending
and desperate to depend on someone
No one, not even myself knows
exactly who I am.
I hide behind a positive shell
always smiling
laughing
giggling
faking
while holding on
and losing my grip
Falling into the river.
But no ones know
but myself and I'm
losing,
wasting
Becoming lost in hurt.

Masks of Light (2.14.14)
Sweet drop of pain
A cry, a smile
A sunny light masks
the monster inside.

That's all for now, folks. Please review and let me know what you think!
