starlover2103 posted a new Poem titled I'm Not Okay 1 week ago
I have wish I knew how to explain what's happening
inside me. It's not a simple sadness-it's a
heaviness that sits quietly but never leaves.
I go through the motions, I smile
when I'm supposed to, but none of it feels real.
I'm tired in a... [read more] |

and they thought I was acting up.
Cried out for help
and they called it tantrums
and closed the door because
I was too "loud."

So I stopped trying.
Instead
I practiced how to smile... [read more] |
starlover2103 posted a new Poem titled Ache 1 week ago
There was an ache
in my heart that refused to leave.
So I chased everything
I thought could heal it.
The person, the dream,
the approval, the future
I couldn't stop imagining.
I wanted them so badly
I forgot myself.
Then one day, I got tired.... [read more] |

I have only a few
borrowed moments to
call a life.
And somehow, I must fit
an entire age into them.

I have carried enough.

I wasn't heartbroken because you left.
I was heartbroken because I stayed.
Stayed through the excuses.
Stayed through the moments my
intuition begged me to leave.
I don't miss you. I miss the version of me
who kept believing you.
The one who saw... [read more] |

She was in a bad mood when I met her
She'd put me in one too if I let her
It must've been Karma
She was such a charmer
Didn't ever want to forget her
To improve her mood, to elevate her
Instead of a date, spent time with her in the... [read more] |
starlover2103 posted a new Poem titled Not Who I Am 1 week ago
My trauma does not define me,
From the bonds of trauma I am free.
It may be a part of me but not who I am.
Who am I? A fiery Durham woman, that's who I am.
Like a Phoenix, I've been reborn from ashes,
From the same fiery flames I crashed in... [read more] |

Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing
something when you had the... [read more] |

There are times she feels okay
Like not a thing is going wrong
But this feeling doesn't last or stay
At least, not for very long

Like she's on top of the world
But there's a crumb left on... [read more] |

'A love that must not be wasted!'

Every man must submit to her demands

Get me so crazy, I mean
