Wrote a bunch of poems back in the day, some of them I decided not to completely delete off the internet.

Forgiveness
if i had said what they said
you would have hated it
if anyone else had said what they said
you would have been horrified by it
but because it was them,
i guess
it was
okay, right?
why couldn't you say it?
when she said what she said
you were horrified by it
when she defended what she said
i was horrified by it too
but you stuck around, so
i guess
it was
okay, right?
why couldn't you say it?
our past, our memories
the time we spent together
i'll always remember
but unlike you, i just can't
i can't forgive them,
not after they openly declared
their true hatred for me
and their hatred of others
so how could you?
why couldn't you say it
hey, did you know?
i had a dream about you last night.
well, sort of. i guess.
it wasn't really "you".
and it wasn't really "me".
but it was about us, nonetheless.
i brought you into my life.
we laughed and loved.
i showed you a secret.
you ran away.
in the end i was crying, alone.
sobbing over an empty cradle.
im not sure what it meant.
do you have any idea?
were you crying the same tears i was?
Nothing matters anymore.
But that was inevitable, wasn’t it?
I’ve lied to everyone —
my friends,
family,
teachers,
acquaintances,
myself.
Nobody’s coming to save me.
I’m alone.
But that’s how it was meant to be, wasn’t it?
I’m alone.
That’s okay.
I’ll be fine.
That’s what I’ve been saying, hasn’t it?
So it must be true.
I can’t lie, after all.
So I don’t need to be saved.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
I’ll be fine.
IR
The snow isn't like the rain
It sticks and sticks and sticks and sticks
Or melts instantaneously
The blinding bright power
Hurts my eyes with its purity
I close my eyes and look away
The snowy sun is a liar
Its rays pierce through your skin
And leave you stripped bare
From atop the penthouse
I ignore the suffering of below
And enjoy the exotic show
you wake up
to the toil of work
over and over and over
again and again and again
the questions bombard
what does this passage mean?
what are they trying to convey?
you don't know. you don't know.
maybe sometimes words
is all they are
what is an issue in this world?
how can we solve this problem?
you don't know. you don't know.
maybe sometimes one problem
can't be solved by itself
why do you keep fighting?
what are you going to do?
you don't know. you don't know.
maybe sometimes nothing
has any meaning
want to sleep
want to sleep
want to sleep
want to sleep
want to sleep
all you want
you just want
your only need
what we need
is to just
hello?
can you hear me?
im singing a lullaby
a lullaby for you alone
my voice resounding out
lulling in and out of nothingness
the pendulum of the clock
swinging back and forth
the pendulum of my heartbeat
swinging back and forth
the pendulum of my life
swinging back and forth
the pendulum of my feelings
swinging back and forth
my voice resounding out
a lullaby nobody hears
hello?
can you hear me?
the house creaks and groans
aching like an old person
ready to retire at any moment
and collapse into the ground
the antelope above the mantle
watches us with glassy eyes
i do not know where it came from
or the person who killed it
stone steps lead down to the beach
covered in sand from human feet
the railing was placed there
because of failing health
six bedrooms, four baths
half can be shut off in winter
the beds can hold four families
less than half are filled now
large wooden stakes plunge from the sand
the remnants of a deceased industry
having stood for over a century
they'll surely remain when we're gone

Literature
M.A.D. Meridian-Anguila Duality
A girl surrounded by others yet all alone
A boy all alone yet surrounded by friends
These opposites could attract
But how long can they coexist?
Everyone searches for a purpose
Everyone wants to find their drive
In hope of finding the answers
We look to online communities
You've already found a foothold
By the time I start to look again
You see something in my actions
And offer your hand to me
All of the friends I thought I had
The relationships fell apart one by one
When I took that hand of yours
I thought I could try this again
The two halves of a doomed relationship
The inevitable destiny of yin and yang
This unstoppable force and immo
Children awaken in a room without doors
A proctor appears without eyes
The blackened face grins at them slyly
And materializes a board game
A game without a rule book
Orphans without a future
The butler leaves them all
And the clock starts ticking
A game of life and death
The threads of fate tangled and intertwined
The pieces thrown in the air
Fall in unpredictable patterns
The weighted dice always roll critical
The end of the game board is nowhere in sight
Yet the players continue on
As the timer ticks down
Hidden alliances and secret deals
Clawing at each other to rise up
Corruption, morality, gains, setbacks
And the meek watch the stro
