Words Fail (A Poem Collection)

Teenage life is full of drama, in a moment we feel we're on cloud nine then in a blink of an eye we're down rock bottom. This phase is a treacherous journey, a dwindling mercurial high, which somehow leads us to two roads, either we will find ourselves or lost a part of it. It's thrilling yet scary for we feel happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.

Words failed me in matters of the heart, so instead I wrote all my bottled up mix of emotions of love, hate, jealousy, fondness, passion, and epiphany.

I didn't knew how to handle the unsettling feeling of knowing that I'm being rejected even though he didn't even said a single word about it yet.

My notes app became my therapist that time, typing unspoken words I wished I've said while getting lost in my own thoughts.
So to the boy who inspired me to write these poems, here goes nothing.
