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.

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
