Poetry

For those who use poetry,

To speak of their pain,

May you find those who understand the language you use,

To describe your pain,

And may they become your friend,

Because you need one.

A wisteria tree, standing tall

A beautiful butterfly's wing beats, sounding softly through the air

The sweet smell of the petals, which fall softly to the ground

Deep breaths taken, the cold air freezing her lungs, yet so calming

The calm, yet sad smile as she is reminded of her infinite anger, never leaving

Even then, she angered in remembrance of the chilling death of her kin

But she now rests in peace, as she has avenged their deaths, with her own to help

Butterfly

Beautiful, Bejeweled

Flapping its wings softly

Flying freely, then winter comes, and its wings freeze

The butterfly accepted death,

Gracefully, it fell,

Butterfly

Life comes in many shapes and forms,

It has its many happy moments,

As well as it's sad and disappointing moments,

It laughs in your face at times and does the opposite of what you want or hope for,

But it can also be nice and do exactly what you want,

It keeps you in suspense, never letting you figure out its next move,

It lets you think you've figured it out, then it throws you for a spin,

Don't let yourself be disappointed, it won't end well,

Instead, just live life preparing yourself for life's weird moments,

Life comes in many shapes and forms

The day she let it all out,

The rain beat down on the world restlessly,

As though it knew, everything she'd bottled up,

Would come out,

The rain fell, restlessly,

But she didn't mind the sound,

The wind howling, and the constant pattering of rain, made her felt that she'd been found,

It was always a calming sound to her, the rain,

And she'd always believed that when it rained, it was the earth crying,

Crying, as it saw the horrors of the world, and crying for each soul in pain

She took a deep breath, closing her eyes, and enjoying the smell of the wet earth,

Her tears fell down her face and onto the ground silently, joining the earth in its sadness,

She had the saddest smile on her face,

Her eyes, looked like they held the sadness of the world in them,

They had no shine of happiness, no,

It was all lost, lost like a needle in a haystack,

She sat in the rain, getting soaked by the earth's tears,

Screaming at the world, herself, and yet...no one,

Because, there was no one but her around,

No soul anywhere close, as she cried, screamed and let out her pain,

As she cried, and screamed,

She felt arms snake around her and hug her,

They pulled her into someone's chest,

And held her tight, as she cried,

It was as though, this person knew,

Knew, that she was in pain, and had been hiding it,

For she heard a voice, a man's voice, saying "shhh, I know that the heavens have not been too kind, but it'll get better"

She sobbed, and asked, her voice raw from crying "how do you know? For as it gets even a little better, everything gets worse. So how can you say that you know?"

His fingers gently grabbed her chin, and lifted it,

He had a smile on his face, "Because," he said,

"I know that that is how life works. When a door closes, others open"

She looked in his eyes, and knew,

He'd been through the same kind of pain as she,

While his eyes held that shine of happiness,

There was a certain light in them, that gave it away,

And she believed him now,

That it would all get better,

For him simply being there,

Made it all a little better

They sat there, in the rain, together,

Her head on his shoulder,

Their hands intertwined,

And this was the day,

She let it all out.

As she laid upon the ocean floor,

As she thought about her life before,

She wondered if she should arise,

Although she'll meet her own demise,

She wondered if her parents cared enough,

Enough to fix the broken stuff,

She sat, and pondered,

Her mind never wondered,

And there she sat, pondering, forevermore.

If you need to talk to someone. They're a group of Christians, but don't let that stop you, because they're all super respectful, and don't force their religion on you. If you need to vent, whether you believe in God or not, they're there to listen, and help you through it.

Don't forget to eat at least 2 times a day, drink plenty of water, and get at least 7 hours of sleep. Love you all, have a good morning/day/night! <33
