Selfish.

I don't know the reasons
It's hard to tell why
But in the last few years,
I've learned that I can't cry

It's not that it's impossible,
I mean from time to time I do
But the heartbreaking thing,
Is that it won't be for you

I've realized that on the inside
I'm quite selfish, you see
Because the only times that I cry
Seem to be for me.

Outwardly, I'm not selfish
I care about others so much
It's a fact
But I can't help wondering,
Am I subconsciously putting on an act?

I don't have much to tell you. I'm Nat, I'm 15, and I'm ridiculously boring

What If.

What if things were different. And I hadn't had made that choice. How long would we last, how long would this whole thing last. Would we do anything.

My Mind is a Wad of Rope

It's very thick rope Because it absorbs everything I ever see But I can't really ever cut anything out Yell it out. Write it out. Burn it out. Burn it all out.

So much to do and so much to say... Will tomorow be to late. I never wanted things to end in this way. One mistake after another leads to hate. Feeling moments slipping right past.

Far

Far too long pretending it wasn't wrong. Far too much being used as a crutch. Far from good,far from what it should. Far away is where my mind tended to sway. Far we have come but the end had begun.

Safe Haven

Opuss is my place to express my feelings. Not my place to exchange gossip or dirty dealings. Not taking sides or commenting on rumour. Keep doing what I'm doing. With sensitivity and humour.

Very relatable for me... πŸ’”πŸ’š brilliant poem.

@naaviie thank you so so much, means a lot to me πŸ’™

Brilliant poem. It reminds me of my hollowness.

I can relate as well. Wonderful pieceπŸ’™πŸ‘

@Odd hollowness..yes, I guess that's exactly the word I was looking to describe. Thanks so much :)

@ashhkat thank you!

@natalee Mhm. I get it from time to time/ year to year. It's sucky! But some what inspirational. It's like you're there, but emotionally not... I just alway thought of it as being a hollow shell I guess. 😊

@Odd yeah that's exactly how I would describe it ☺ It really does kinda suck /:
