The Moon
I wanna be the moon
adored
looked up to
the way she shines so bright
like nothing could ever dim her light
worry free
burden less
no one has the heart to question her beauty
but would it be the same if I were her?

would people openly gawk instead?
if i were the moon
would she even be worth a shred of importance?
the idea of me as the moon is far too silly to comprehend
it would never happen
and even if it did
no one would care.

This one stems from self doubt and not feeling enough as you are. The feeling of wanting to be the moon is like wanting to be something that almost everyone cares about and calls pretty, etc. I actually just wrote this one today, so it hasn't been shared on my message board before this!

Side note: I didn't feel like putting commas on this one, so I'm sorry to people who care about grammar and all that jazz. Also, I wrote in all lower case because I think that it makes the words sound less angry and more sad.

Blood and Kin
blood and kin isn't all that it's made out to be.
i've heard it hurts much less when you are free.
take it from me,
it may have to hurt like hell,
but i feel like the best time of my life will be when i get to leave.

This one's shorter, but basically, I got into an argument with my parents (I can't even remember what it was about lmao) and I wrote this because I was mad.

So, I know that you know the poetry is all sad (hence the title) but the next poem has heavier themes than the others I've shared before. Content warning!

Fuel
I don't expect you to get the whispers in my head,
and even though it's all I want,
I know you'll never understand they're as heavy as lead.

our love is just cruel,
but it's my only fuel,
because when you're drowning in your own head,
love seems much better than wanting to be dead.

I actually contemplated whether I should even publish this one tbh. Okay... So, I have no idea where the hell that came from. I don't even remember writing it, but I found it in my notes (which is where I write most of my poetry) so I had to have written it at some point...

That seems like a good one to end on for now. Stay safe and remember my messages are always open!💛

Lmao anyways thanks for reading
