I'm really scared of rhymes so I'll give this a try

You were taught to think this way
Think the other way
You were taught to look this way
Look the other way
You were taught to feel this way
Feel the other way
Maybe then you'll understand my perspective -
When life broke me apart,
I needed to be strong.
When fate conspired against me,
I needed to hold pieces of me together.
My mistake was that I used hatred as my glue. -
I know these are really short but they kind of start to get cringey if I try to make them comprehensive

Wonderful work @Isbah!! You shouldn’t be scared of poems, this is short and simple! You can do poems without rhyming here so it can be any easy as just writing really descriptive pieces of text!

the sun, the moon and the stars
sing a gentle lullaby
trying to put me to sleep
trying to push my worries away
but they’re failing
my worries wont go
they keep returning
to haunt my dreams
so I’m afraid to sleep
they think I’m a kid
they want to keep me safe
by barring me from the worries
but they’re failing
the little worries turn into mountains
tall and fierce and high
i have to look up at them
and always remain in their shadow

alone.
that’s what i want to be.
maybe.
sometimes it becomes
too lonely.
then i search
for other lonely people.
most times they get too close
then i push them away
further from me.
then even more further.
i cant decide
do i want to be alone?

Wooow these poems really have a different ‘feel’ to them compared to all the others I read so far! I love both of these and how the comparison is in the first one of the moon and stars and how the second one is short, simple but meaningful.

Oooh, these are amazing! My favorite so far is your first one but gosh these are all soooo good! Love these!

i want a person who is confident yet insecure
a person who is bold and shy
a person who’s smart but has to work really hard and is still not a nerd
a person who is quiet but talkative
a person who is hard and soft
a person with a great sense of humor who can be serious when they should be
a person who loves fiercely but hates being sappy
a person who fits in and stands out perfectly
a person who’s personality sparkles the brightest in the room
a person who changes with every glance
while remaining the same
****
maybe its too much to ask of one person
but I’m always on the lookout for them
and every once in a while, i find them
then i gain them, become close to them
and then i lose them.
not because we stop being friends
but because they change, and stop being my ideal
but i still stay with them
because somewhere along the way, i truly started caring
for them, not for me
but they wont be the same again
ever.
slowly we drift away, because i cant be what i used to
i cant talk like i used to, or trust like i used to
i cry for lost times and start over
start my search again
for the ideal i still dont have.
****
these people are like the day
i cry for them at nights
then i get them
but no matter how bright, they will go down with the night
they will come again
but something will have changed
i will miss the old ones
i will cry for the old ones
i will desperately look for better ones
but one thing is certain,
they will leave again
after i find them
because thats just how it is
sometimes i wish they’d just stay, and not change
but i know if they don’t, i will.
and honestly all the beauty of it
is in the instability and change
the risk factor and the hope
the search and the loss
and most of all,
the wonder that comes from it. -
i am hypnotized by the depths of her eyes
i let her snakes reach me, pierce my skin-
poison holding life’s essence, or maybe a dream?
no, its only venom, drawing blood
her hands are red-now mine as well -
the curious mirror pretends to see
does it see what goes on behind my soul’s closed doors?
does it only reflect what it material, substantial,
or does it also reflect the abstract truths?
when it sees a black well, does it fall into it like I do?
the problem is it doesn’t see what matters
or maybe its that it gets everything backwards. -

Beautiful as always. ❤️❤️❤️
