The world is so beautiful,
Through eyes purified by love.
Who knew
That one person
Could wash away the brokenness of this cruel world.
I love who
birdy Feb 2021
I wish I had more time to think,
More time to cry with you,
Before you're gone.
But time is slippery as I try to grasp
The precious grains
Of my remaining hours with you.
I wish I could be strong for you,
But my sadness is uncontainable
and flows out of my wallowing blue wells for eyes.
You clutch my sweaty palms,
Desperately struggling to hold on to
This life you want to keep living.
But as I watch the sparkle dim in your eyes.
I know.
That it's a cruel world.
Why?

Though light persists to reach my eyes, I hereby reject this harsh reality. For it is easier to renounce something you cannot percieve.

If youโ€™re willing to risk it,
You must value it.
If youโ€™re willing to hate it,
You must love it.
If youโ€™re willing to see it,
You must feel it.
If youโ€™re willing to feel it,
You must be it.
Be the rings within a tree,
Feel the bark and the falling leaves.
You must risk it all to value life,
You must hate what once brought you light.
Because when you love, you risk it.
When you risk it, you lose it.
When you lose it, you hate it,
And when you hate it, you feel it,


Hate is stronger than love,
So strong you can see it.
Hate looks like magma,
Ready to erupt, ready to ****.
Hate is the lightning that strikes the tree;
The ashes left after a storm.
Hate is a fire that wipes out a forest,
And leaves the landscape bare and broken.
But when you look at where it once was,
The forest, once so alive, now just a crust.
You realize that itโ€™s not a new place,
But just a place without its trees.
When you sit back and you think
About what youโ€™ve loved, lost, hatedโ€ฆ
You realize that you never truly feel hate,
Just the absence of love. lmt

Life is ******.
Everything is ******.
**** this life.
I'm only here for her, even if all I ever do is cause her strife.
**** all of it,
I'm tired of this ****.

Does she even need me?
Should I leave her be?
After all, I'm sure she's sick of me
I want her to be free.
Not chained,
And for me to be the one to blame.

I don't know,
Whether I should stay or go,
It's all too confusing,
This constant feeling of losing.
Don't worry. I won't commit to such tragic acts. I just needed a way to vent my frustration, thus creating this poem.

Before the birth of Me
I felt a warm light shined on my eyes, informing me to prepare for the World.

And my birth felt like an employee stepping out of a building into a cold, blistering December

where your toes and fingers are numb as a soldier's brain

but your heart keeps pumping like an Ethiopian salvaging water in the wilderness

— The End —
