Admit It


When the nights are filled with a star filled sky.
The wind is whispering around talking throughout the night.
The season of fall is creeping out from every corner and crook.
Stand still and just look.
Stars, wind, and the leaves falling once again.
Be memorized, but don't die of the loneliness that it may bring.
It's not giving up, it's just reaching for a dream.
Hold fast to what you have; the wind warns you of what may come to loss.
When those times come when you just wish you were a leaf, falling and soon you are nothing, look up to the sky. What do you see?
Stars.
Stars are the perfect thing to escape to when it feels like you have nothing. 
But you are only telling yourself a million lies. Just to pretend and hide. Admit the pain is there; it's not fair to those who can't hear.
Let your voice ring throughout the night.
Sing along with the whispers of night. 
Then only will it be you, and the star filled sky.

I found that poetry is the one and only way to fully get out what's stuck in my mind/ heart. A dear friend of mine encouraged me to write poetry and ever since then, I've written these poems. In less then a year, my poems have become well liked amongst friends and family. The first 15 I posted are the first 15 I did in a year's time. I write for me, and for other people who want to read them. If you don't like what I write, then don't be hateful. Only be critical.
