I don't exactly write poems but more like spoken words (look it up on YouTube if you are unsure what they are)
Here is an example (this was written about one of my friends who is also going through rough times):
I have seen many things
Though, probably none as painful as the ones that you're going through
Nothing is more painful for me than watching someone tear themselves apart
Each unchecked cut tearing out the stitches I so carefully placed there, each tear a tear in the very fabric of your existence, resistant of all the people who say that your not fine "i am fine" you say over and over.
How is it so easy to lie?
The jigsaw puzzle you are is falling apart piece by piece,
I struggle to pick them up, I fear I am losing pieces of you that I cannot get back
I never wanted to be the hero...
We are both dangling from this cliff in need of saving but only one of us can be saved.
I'm on this boat, struggling to stay afloat on the unsettled waters, as another storm approaches. God I hate the ocean
You say that there are plenty of other fish in the sea and that's true.
But there is only one fish like you
You are an endangered species, on the brink of extinction and you don't care
Your will for survival has been lost, the cost of losing your jigsaw pieces
I don't sleep, for the fear I'm going to lose a piece of you I can never get back
Insomniac, hope I don't crack under the pressure of this world, under the pressure of keeping my promises
I just want to sleep
And just because I forgot how to laugh and cry, does not mean I forgot how to feel.
Each word, insult, name they give you they give to me
I take each punch and I take each tear and I build myself a wall, a barrier to protect me from the war outside
And I may rant, but I rant to show you I care, to show you that you should care
I reach out and you pull back, a terrible distance growing between us
I hate to see you growing this way, but I can't help feel that I am growing the same
You are a fragile thing, and now you've started to shatter
You're more than just a jigsaw puzzle now
You're a crystal on the edge of life and death
You are so close to falling, to shattering yourself and you wish it upon yourself
Do we hold you back?
You say you are in pain, and that you wish it would go, and that's why you tried to fall off the edge
But we held you back
Do you still suffer, despite being alive now?
Because I do
Sorry this is so long :/
