Lost

she was a wanderer always looking for a place to hide

desperately running away from the nightmares that haunted her dreams for her not knowing what’s next is almost terrifying

every time she felt the urge of disappearing

her body became heavy with emotions, her mind began overflowing with endless thoughts she couldn’t even bare to express what she was thinking to someone else

whenever she spoke no one understood, her mind was like no other

it made her feel lonely although she was always around people, it made her feel empty although her mind was full of ideas

she ran, far away because even when she was home she was still lost

Fake Smile

it’s in my veins

to write down my pain

cluttering thoughts in my brain

is the reason why i’m not the same

convincing myself i’m not insane

but lately i’ve been so drained

i know life gets better, i try not to complain

people ask what’s wrong and i can’t explain

even though these feelings contain

all the negativity, which remains

that fake smile i can no longer maintain

-g.k

Reflection

i constantly try to put myself together

and pick up all the broken pieces in my life

but every time i think i got everything in place again

another worry comes crashing in and my life shatters once more

i don’t know how much more i can take when things start falling apart, it builds up inside of me all this trying that i do, it never pays off

all this smiling that i do, it always wears off

the darkest parts of my mind come to light when i’m alone, they’re the only thing i see no matter how many people say they care

i always end up finding myself crying alone

-g.k

Drown

swimming in my sorrows

i’m in too deep

i can feel myself suffocating from all the pain

i begin to drown in my feelings and emotions the sadness plunges over me

my heart is soaked with despair

i can no longer gasp out for air

because no one knew i was suffering as i sink into the bottom of my agony

-g.k

Enemy

feeling like the whole world is against me

surrounded by people but yet i’m constantly feeling empty

inside my mind, is a place that’s scary

because even my own thoughts are my enemies

-g.k

Friends

i thought friends were people who always stayed by your side

i thought friends were people who comfort you when you cry

i thought friends were people who text you after a goodbye

i thought friends were people who help you without asking why

i thought friends were people who would never lie

i thought friends were people who support you when you strive

i thought friends were people who wouldn’t hold a grudge over their pride

Cold Hearted
