Poetryaccount Stories

A mirror never lies - yet it never tells the full truth. She looks and sees cracks no one else can see, a reflection stitched from insecurities, a body hugged but never truly held. This is not just glass, this is the war between what is real and what the heart believes.

"Fang an dich wohl zu fühlen und mach das, was du brauchst."

"Jede Entscheidung ist wichtig, denn aus jeder Entscheidung lernst du."

I've been reading quite a few novels recently about "deals with the devil," whether literally or figuratively. I wrote this poem after being inspired by Faust, the Bible, and the Picture of Dorian Gray.

Finding peace

Tackled by too many emotions, and riddled with pain, a character tells his story through poetry. As he happens to find himself stuck in a rut for years, he turns to any and every remedy to ease the pain. Drinking, Crying, Writing, and listening to music late at night, are just a few remedies that were used to numb the pain deep within his soul.

"Du bist nicht mehr hier, doch immer noch da."

A tender piece capturing the quiet persistence of love long after goodbye. Some touches don't fade. Some stares remain. Some hearts never let go.

This is my outlet.

"Mach die Musik laut und lass sie dir das Gefühl von Glück schenken."

"Wir sind frei, unser Leben so zu leben, wie wir es wollen."

"Auf einmal warst du wieder da und warst irgendwie fremd für mich."

In this sequel to remedies, after the personal endeavors encountered by the main character, we tag along for his next obstacle. This 10 foot wall that he has to hop over, just so happens to be another battle within himself. The twist however, is the added taste of relationships and dissolving friendships. Will he be able to tackle the pressure once again, or fall prey to the fury eating him alive?

"Lass dich lieben, wenn er der Richtige ist."

"Glück und Freiheit ist zusammen weinen und lachen zu können."

"Ich hoffe du siehst auch gerade zu dem selben Stern und denkst an mich."

Slow Death

"Ich hasse mich dafür, dass ich dich nicht hassen kann."

Sometimes the universe replies in waves. This poem tells the story of a girl who starts finding bottles washed ashore, each carrying a letter that feels strangely personal. Every word inside them mirrors her own thoughts her love, her loss, her questions. It's about destiny, self-discovery, and realizing that sometimes the messages we're searching for are already within us.
