Emotional kaleidoscope of poetry
I asked my close friends to show me their poetry to put out there for those who might need to hear it or know they are not alone. So I’ve put together the group of all their poetry for the world to see.

~Make Me Yours~
Love me like I love your voice
Hold me like you hold my heart
Hurt me in all the good ways
Take me like I take in your air
And kiss me like you do in all of my dreams
~Untitled~
I was supposed to take myself on a picnic
But I couldn’t find it in myself
to be kind to me
To do something I wanted
Because I was too afraid of what my brain would say
The instant me and it were alone
~Holding~
I held the rose
Close to my chest
And despite the pain
I looked desperately
Into your cold eyes
And said thank you
•to the boy who’s love did nothing but make me bleed•
~Gutted~
The night your fingers
Gutted my insides
You gutted my soul
You pulled out my heart
You pulled out my trust for you
And you ripped out all of the dreams
I’d ever had stuck
Behind my heavy chest
~Today~
Is one of the numb days
The kind of day where all I feel
Is how hard it is
To pull air into my chest
I miss when I felt alive
But that was so long ago
I can barely remember
Maybe this is better
I mean feeling nothing is better
Then sobbing into your own pillow
Wishing someone would hold you
I guess I’d rather feel nothing
Instead of how I feel most days
Unlovable
