Not broken
Just bent
Interludes
Coming clean
I believe that many things happen for a reason
But not everything does

To love, be loved, see, and be seen
Not broken
Just bent
Interludes
Coming clean
I believe that many things happen for a reason
But not everything does

To love, be loved, see, and be seen
There’s a hole in your heart
And I want to be the one to fill it
And you can fill me when you feel me
The darkest daylight
The strongest weakness
Hold me when I’m shaking
Catch me when I’m falling
Unless we’re falling together
Just let go of everything
Except one another
Never say never
And/or now or never
Show me who you really are
I want to love it all
Secret admirers
And other secrets we keep
In a world of our own
To take on the real world
Butterflies emerging from fireworks
Sparks bursting into the flame
For me
For you
Angels rising from the ashes
Maybe children and marriage
This is a love poem
These feelings wrapped up inside me
With a pretty lacy bow
Like an unsent valentine
xoxo, your girl
Cities and suburbs
I’ve been lonely and happy alone everywhere
If I fall out of the sky,
Then allow me to fall
I am not food for your hero complex
I learn to fly every time I save myself
Reflective revealing moments
In love with love
And the idea of love
Which makes me look good, bad, smart, and stupid
Sometimes, it’s a gut feeling
Sometimes, it’s just my stomach
Smile in fractions when I don’t feel whole
America’s sweetheart
And the “good girl gone bad” archetype
Made up of depression naps
And anxiety attacks
Big on communication
Yet, I overthink every little thing
A saint who sins
I am and always have been alive
Out of pure love
And spite
I don’t have to be
Anyone’s definition of “perfect”
To be worth it
I’ve done more dreaming awake
Than dreaming while sleeping
You are ethereally handsome
And it distracts from your true nature
It’s hard to believe
That someone so kind and caring
Could be so detached
Yet, here you are
I sang along to your songs
Maybe it’s time for a road trip
Where my heart will relocate
You’re not one in a million
You almost fell out of a window
And made a joke out of it
You charm the pants and skirts
Off of everyone you come into contact with
You look down on me like I’m a pawn
But truth is,
You were never that good at chess
And I have quite a few hidden talents
You say you’re worried
But your actions don’t show it
I must be crazy
For thinking that I could save you
You are a walking magazine cover
Making sure to meet expectations
Whenever the cameras are on
How could I be so naive?
You’re not that different from the others
This is a pain that I know I can heal from
But a bit of my heart will always hurt
You put up a front
That you’re all about love
So, why do you fake it?
You can’t create
What was never meant to exist
We both know better
You need to do better
I deserve better
Oh god
It’s all so wrong
That it’s right
From under the ice,
The sun wasn’t so golden after all
Pacing back and forth
Lost in deep thought
Take a breath
Center myself
I won’t give up
No matter what
A cliché a day
Occasionally keeps negativity away
Tunnel vision on a healthy obsession
I want to take the hard parts of mental health
And give them hell
Trick my brain
Into refusing to fall for tricks
Each year is just another year
But I’m still obsessed with making each one
A fresh start
I apologize if I get intense
I’m just intent on my intentions
In touch with my manifestations
I want to get better and be better
In fact, it’s not purely a want
But a need
If I’m still alive,
Then improvement is the mission
It seems to rain
Every time I feel like going outside
Online and offline
Like a child playing with a light switch
Looking for how to best achieve my purpose
Losing my head
Gazing out the window
Even when it’s dark
And there’s nothing much to see
If only it was socially acceptable
For humans to go into hibernation
Just imagine
Always feeling well-rested
And waking up feeling like a brand new person
I’m the mysterious type
Who also overshares
What have you heard about me?
Sometimes it’s true
And sometimes not
Even if you heard it from me
That self love thing?
It’s a lot to take in
And I am a vacuum
There comes a time in one’s life
Where love is questioned
Pros and cons weighed
Like a perfectly imbalanced scale
On each half of the heart
Nervously excited
Because I’ve changed and made up my mind
Because it’s you
It’s always been you
And I have faith that someday it will be
Could you see me in a crowd?
All I see is you
Could you need me like the air you breathe?
It’s as if you’re in every breath I take
With me, you would never feel unloved
I’ve fallen for you and I can’t get up
My soul is submerged in your colors
Synesthesia of love in its truest form
All I need is the otherworldly sound
Of your voice in my ear
The euphoria of being in your arms
Your words, thoughts, dreams, and emotions
Burning in my bloodstream
I want you in every way
And I have no shame in admitting it
As a lover and a friend
I desire it all
People say that good things come to those who wait
Based on how long I’ve waited,
You must be something great
Waiting for what you need
Tends to carry more weight
Than waiting for what you want
Society tends to make what you’re bad at
Carry more weight
Than what you’re good at
What are we?
Sick and tired of it!
Just because we’re living life
Doesn’t mean it’s all we ever have to talk about
Alright
Okay
That’s all she wrote
Age creeps up on you
Time can suck
Yes, I’m going to write whatever I want
However I want
What are you going to do?
Grade me?
That no longer phases me
I am nobody’s fool
I am nobody’s robot
Sometimes foolish, but never a robot
I’m early when I’m late
And late when I’m early
I’m not happy here
So, my mind is checking out
And I’m going to leave
You had your chance
To “show me a good time”
And failed miserably
Don’t blame me
You are in no position
To be trying to give ultimatums
Miss me with that
A heartbeat brings dead skin back to life
Color streaming through veins again
A rush of warmth
Like the sun is shining
While it’s snowing
Friends, enemies, lovers, strangers
All the same in conflicting ways
Beautiful compositions created
From past decomposition
Like a child building a tower
To knock it down
Then build the blocks back up again
Car crashes and rainbow connections
Life before and after love
Papier-mâché plans and iron dreams
Bitter truths and sweet lies
Why wake up when you can go back to bed?
Show me love
Show me the door
Show me the way
Show me the world
Show yourself
I’m not afraid anymore
You make me weak and strong
I walk through the dark
Looking for answers
It’s raining
It’s a fact
That seeing pictures of rainbows
Doesn’t compare to witnessing one in real life
I both know and don’t know myself
When alone, I play follow the leader
So, I follow me
And see where that takes me
My mind puts me through heaven and hell
Just vibing and bleeding
You can teach me how to get better
You can help me get better
But I won’t get better
Until I get better
