Poems I started, but could never finish


The only person who can ever take away your humanity is you. So don’t let them.

 

You are more than what you tell yourself you are.

 

The world never stops moving, but you’re allowed to every once and a while.

 

I know that there is iron flowing in our blood, but I can’t helping feeling that yours is titanium

 

Do you hear the music? Can you feel the beat? Will you take my hand? And dance

 

Why is it that when you’re smoking, I’m the one who feels like they’re burning?

 

They say it’s always darkest before the dawn, so the sun must be rising soon.

 

When I look up to the stars, I can’t help, but feel that your eyes shine brighter. As if your smile has become my only sun.

 

Go find someone else’s life to ruin, I can ruin my own just fine thanks.

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
