We are good

We are enough

We are good enough

We are precious flowers

Bent by the wind

Only to stand up stronger

We are loved

By ourselves

By our friends

By those we love

We are powerful

Because once upon a time,

We weren’t

We love ourselves

Because a time ago,

We didn’t

We are okay

Because we got through the times

Which weren’t

If you knew the mountain you climbed

Was going to end ill timed

And you were going to fall,

Would you keep going anyway

Just to see what was at the bottom?

Because I would

In either daisy fields

Or sharp rocks

My fate would be sealed

Time to see how my fortune stands

And down I went

For so long lasts my descent

So unsure until I land

I swear you've never seen flowers of such sights

So bright, smelling so nice

And the sun, shining so fair

It almost seemed I was hiking

Through the rain in compare

A ship called good lost among the sea of evil

The ship got lost among the sea

It got punished by the sea

By the wind

Yet it stood tall

It made the right path through the wind

It rode the waves

That ship made it

The ship didn't drown and become part of the sea

The good always wins against the sea of evil

But what about the other ships?

The ship called confusion

The ship called weak

The ship called power

The ship called revenge

The ship called greed

The ship called heartbreak

They lost

They drowned

And became part of the sea of evil

And yet they didn't have to

They could of rode amongst the waves,

powered through

But they were taken by more than evil

Because it's never just one thing

Instead,

They were attacked by the wind of choices

I've been beaten down

Obscured,

Obliterated

But now I'm standing,

Stronger than ever

And though weary,

Though tired,

Though my bones ache,

I feel as if I could run a thousand miles

Run free

Free of the rules set on me,

Not by me

I'm free

I've run,

I've fallen,Now I'm done and I'm free

It was between one and the other

And I chose the other

Where does that leave me?

Well, it leads me to writing this poem

What would have happened if I had chosen the other?

I don't know

How could I know?

Some people just don't see,

Sometimes not even me

They don't see that,

Possibilities are impossible

Because the possibility for the possibility to occur

Already happened

And you chose one possibility over the other possibility

So that other possibility, couldn't have happened

Is it all planned?

Is our whole life mapped?

Controlled?

I don't know

In the end,

Possibilities and choices

Are always the loose end,

The last what if?

You left without regrets,

Without questions,

Without a thought

Until one day,

The one day you think,

What if?

My mind and I disagree

We're two different parts

Of one individuality

Iʼm overpowering

Iʼm weak

Iʼm conquering

Iʼm meek

The times Iʼm silent

Are the only times I speak

My words donʼt matter

Neither does my opinion

Nothing matters

When even I canʼt listen

I write

To speak

When my mind and my mouth

Both disagree

Silent

Iʼm standing

Speaking

Iʼm lying

Donʼt listen to me

Donʼt agree

Donʼt say anything

Knock me down

Leave me to rot

Iʼm in trouble

My mind agrees

I canʼt say it

Some people canʼt take it

I'll help myself

I'll never stop

I'll keep talking

I'll keep walking

I'll keep writing

I'll keep fighting

In the end

I'll rise

Stronger,

Wiser,

Together

For now,

Iʼm me

For now,

Iʼm nobody

For now,

Iʼm fine

Donʼt listen to me

When you could be

So much better

Forever

Iʼm me

And forever Iʼm fine

Because I know

It could be worse

I should be okay

Although, now?

I donʼt know if I am

You can run,

You can hide

You can fight,

You can die

I'll never stop looking,

I'll never stop listening,

I'll never stop screaming

You did this to me

And though I may not find you,

I'm not the one you're running from

You're running from yourself,

From the monster within

The one that took over,

The one you can't control,

The one that turned you into a bag of bones

Can you still hear them?

The souls screaming,

The children crying

Can you still see it?

The moment you changed,

The moment the monster broke from it's cage

Can you still see them?

A family who loved you,

The first to go

I hope you can,

I hope you remember,

I hope you know

So tell me,

Is only your grin hiding the monster within?

They never listened

Not once

Although I had answers

To the questions they asked

They didn't listen

A fading face

One you can never place

I'm the nobody

I don't speak

Why should I?

They never listen

Everyone's almost gone

Except for me

They should have asked

I would have said

Now they're fed

All the hungry beasts

With sharp, sharp teeth

All the people

Who never listened

Should have

Just this once,

They should have listened

To me

I'm the nobody

Not because I have nothing to say

But because no one listened

They didn't even know my name

In the end though, it was the same

Because no one will listen to a face without a name

Who's four feet under

I'm the nobody

You could have been nobody too

But you weren't

I'm nothing

There is nobody

I'm alone

Written on my lips

With a broken tip

Such fine print

You can't see

Unless you look

Read the label

Held up high

For everyone to see

Read the label

The label is me

In a plain black font

Written on the front

There's the label

Giving you the name

But never

The important facts

Read the fine print

If you dare

Read the facts

If you care

Just know,

The fine print

Written with a broken tip

In such a small font

It only says one thing:

This is me

You might as well come out

Because you can't hide

It's coming too fast

The end is nigh

This won't last

This game of yours

Nothing will last

In this game of war

You took a stand

Then you fell

You might as well come out

Or I swear I'll tell

No one survives,

You won't either

Can't you see this is cowardice?

Just stop fighting

Just stop hiding

Just stop being afraid

You can't keep this up

Don't even try

The more you try,

The more I cry

Please stop fighting

Please stop hiding

Please stop being afraid

Please,

I need you

In this game of war

That's the only thing

Of which I'm sure

I need you
