Words that mean it
Why?
I've recently written a collection of poems and I would like it if you would post them on the website. They come in a sort of. . . Book, so you can keep them together. The 'collection' is called: Words that mean it.
Why can’t I not be useless?
Why can't I be bothered?
Why can't I be a rebel?
Why can’t I be a friend?
Why can’t I act normal?
Why can’t I just be who I feel like. The person who wants to take the knife out of the drawer. . .
End it.
Sorry
One sorry.
Two sorrys.
One sorry more.
If sorry was a word.
I’d say it again.
Once more.
Gone
Friends.
There, gone
Left again
The people you prayed
That would never go
But are then gone.
‘Friends’ is not a word
Then again, it’s not a thing
It’s non - existent
To nobody but the people
Who lost it more than once.
No
They beg and I say no.
No .
Makes you forget.
No.
I said it. I mean it.
No.
That doesn’t mean I want it.
No.
No, just no.
Just one haiku
This is a haiku
Just to add more effect
I don’t know, not now.

Okay, then that was a mistake, sorry 
but maybe you know that Cornelia wrote her books in German and there is also this website in German. If you want to visit this site, you can click on the German flag below (there is also a page for Cornelia's Spanish readers 
). Yes, and there is also " your stories" in German. And because I asked: there is a story called "No Name" and one author is also called "Arya". Sorry if this was a bit confusing

Hey Mathilda. No, I have never written a book called "No Name" in my whole life. But plz tell me which website are you talking about. Thanks

Hey, Arya, are you the Arya who wrote "No Name" on the German website? I just wanted to ask... Greetings, Matti

Really Amazing Collection. Has Cornelia ever written a poetry collection Insa? (That is, if you're reading this)
No, she has not, Arya, but she loves poetry.

WOW! I can't use any words to describe your poems. I couldn't write something that compete with that, even if I want... You use these words like they are some kind of toys - not complicated, but simply beautiful (I know this word is used very often and so it loses some kind of magic, but I MEAN it, really). Please excuse my mistakes, because I don't speak English very well, my mother tongue (is it used like this? I don't know...) German. Dein größter Fan (your biggest Fan), Matti

I LOVE THIS!!! So heartfelt and I especially like "If sorry was a word, I'd say it again once more", because sorry is definitely not a word, it is much more.

The first poem is so me. And also someone I made up so I can have a friend. His name is Zacharias and he doesn’t know who he is

These poems are incredible and hauntingly beautiful. I can sense a budding Emily Dickinson!

If the 3rd poem is from experience, I'm confused, because you sound like an epic person and an epic writer - why would "a friend" leave you?

This collection is beautiful and moreover, honest and heartfelt. I hope you are having a wonderful day - this set is quite sad, which makes it all the more alluring
