Bonus - Poetry 2

Welcome back to my bonus parts of poetry! Here's a few more poems written by people I've found on Pinterest. I'm doing this because I love poetry so so so very much and want to share it with everyone. Have fun, my fellow readers!

Never Trust a Mirror
Never trust a mirror,
For a mirror always lies,
It makes you think that all you're worth,
Can be seen from the outside.
Never trust a mirror,
It only shows you what's skin deep,
You can't see how your eyelids flutter,
When you're drifting off to sleep.
It doesn't show you what the world sees,
When you're only being you,
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you're loving what you do.
It doesn't capture when you're smiling,
Where no one else can see,
And your reflection cannot tell you,
How much you mean to me.
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin,
And if you think it dictates your worth,
It's time you looked within.
~Erin Hanson

You Are
You are not your age,
Nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight,
Or the color of your hair.
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks,
You are all the books you read,
And all the words you speak.
You are your creaky morning voice,
And the smiles you try to hide,
You're the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you've cried.
You're the songs you sing so loudly,
When you know you're all alone,
You're the places you've been to,
And the one that you call home.
You're the things you believe in,
And the people that you love,
You're the photos in your bedroom,
And the future you dream of.
You're made of so much beauty,
But it seems you forgot,
When you decided you were defined,
By all the things you're not.
-Erin Hanson

As Deep As The Ocean Is Between Us, So Is My Love For You
(As) I've begun to learn
Who you are, and how (deep)
Your soul is,
(As) I've begun to notice
How perfect you are for me,
Each hour I long for (the) moment
Where I finally may be by your side ;
Like the blueness of the (ocean is) constant,
So are the thoughts (between) each second
That posses your name ;
I cannot think of a world
Where an (us) does not exist,
Because I've become (so) attached
To the idea of always being yours ;
(Is) it bad? Is it good?
That (my) heart is forever set on you?
Sometimes it's difficult to tell ;
I (love) days like today
When the sun is out
And my mind is clear like the sky,
I just wish you were here
To enjoy it ;
I will wait however long it takes
(For) that day to come
Because I've never known anyone
As breathtaking as (you).

Fears
When someone's asks what I'm scared of,
I play it basic and say the dark ;
Sometimes I'll say heights,
Needles or even sharks .
Maybe I'll say spiders,
Or flying above the ground ;
I'll say confined spaces,
Or even pain and loud sounds.
But I hide my real fears,
And put it on a far shelf ;
Cause my biggest fear is that you'll see me,
The way I see myself.

A Reminder
Remember that sometimes
It's okay to close your eyes
And forget the world,
To think for yourself,
Breathe deeply,
And do that one thing,
You've been putting off
For months
And when you are ready
To view the world with
New-born eyes,
You will find that
The stars still shine,
The waves still crash,
The sun still rises,
And
Your heart still beats.
-Shelby Leigh

Just Let Me Be
I am a vessel for the store I carry within,
All my thoughts, anxieties and miseries
Make my shoulder heavy.
When it's morning and
My eyelids droop with heavy sleep,
I'd need some more time inside my quilt,
Let me sleep a little longer 'cause
I had a long battle last night inside my head
That you have no idea about
And if I'll tell you, you won't understand.
So, just let me be,
Just let me be inside my own castle,
Covered in a warm quilt
And snoring at every dream,
A reflection of my conscious stream.
I am a vessel for the storm I carry within,
All my thoughts, anxieties and miseries
Make my shoulders heavy.
-The Loquacious

From the Ashes She Became
Before she became fire, she was water -
Quenching the thirst of every dying creature.
She gave and she gave
Until she turned from sea to desert.
But instead of dying of the heat,
The sadness, the heartache,
She took all of her pain
And from her own ashes she became fire.
-Nikita Gill

Just Friends
We were
Just friends
That spoke like lovers
And that seemed to be enough for
Two teenagers who were scared to love one
Another

The Moon
I have late
Night conversations
With the moon ;
He tells me about the sun
And I tell him about you.
~S.L.Gray

Almost
The saddest word
In the whole wide world
Is the word almost.
He was almost in love.
She was almost good for him.
He almost stopped her.
She almost waited.
He almost lived.
They almost made it.
~Nikita Gill

Storm
There was a storm in her eyes
Rocky seas from a hundred stormy nights
But also too
There was a light
A warm wind
From a distant shore
So that's where I headed
Towards her light
That shone with gentle seas.
