Falling,
Watching everything around fly by.
Watching the clouds getting closer,
Then passing through them,
Making a tiny hole.

The creatures below look up,
Unaware of what was happening,
Just watching me fall.

I looked down
At the ground below,
All the greens,
The browns,
The blues.

I looked down
At all the creatures,
In all shapes,
Sizes,
And colors.

I'm getting closer to them,
Coming to meet them,
I'm falling.

I'm falling quite fast,
I'm getting closer,
Closer,
Closer.

I had traveled a very long way
To get here here.

I looked down
At everything below,
The peacefulness,
The serenity,
The lack of concern for anything.

I'm getting closer,
The creatures see me,
They start to run,
Not towards,
But away.

I am almost there.

Falling...

Falling...

Falling...

BOOM...

I landed,
Everything around me
Lit up with bright lights.
Everyone gave me
A very warm welcome.
The Ground shock
with their applause.

Redacted deadname or Sophie?

Who am I? What am I? Am I a boy? Am I a girl? Facades Masks Fake personas Alter egos How much of who I am is real? Who I am inside? How much of who I am is fake? Who I show the world to be accepted? Digging through myself Everything that I have repressed Everything I have released What is the real me? Letting go is hard Changing is hard Opening up is hard Being vulnerable is hard So many years of faking Hiding who I am on the inside Can I ever really let go? Can I ever truly be me? Am I *redacted deadname* or Am I Sophie

....

If I were to die today, I need to know you’ll be okay. You’ve had your toll of hard times, so I need to know, that you’ll be fine. Im getting weaker everday, Im longing now to leave. Longer now I want to stay But each breathe I take, that one could be the last for me. It wont be long before I pass, and take my journey home. I know you love me and want it to last, I’m sorry I will soon be gone.

New View

I've been given a new view. I've seen how others see you. Talking to your best friends. Relationships meet their ends. Selfish is what they all say. Everything has to be your way. Responsibilities you shirk. Upset when you have to work. You consider everyone less. Think that you know the best. Want whatever's new and shiny. At one time that was me. After time you start to bore. We just can't give you more. Something different happened here. My brokenness you seem to fear. I used you as my crutch, But my problems were too much. All along you had known. Your intentions weren't shown. At first you seem like fun, But you're disliked by everyone.

Invisible

When I was 14 years old, it was the day I thought of suicide. Slicing my legs and my arms, wanting this pain to end. My heart was always broken, the moment you laid your hands on me. I wish I just given up in life, but I kept pushing through. When I was young, I thought i was a foolish girl. Thinking there was love in life, just to find heartaches and pain. My smile was always fake, maybe once in awhile I wouldn't show it. But the day I felt pain, I lost my smile for good. I felt like dying numerous of times, but never ended it fully. Once in awhile I felt free, but my heart ripped to pieces. Maybe when my life is gone, I will be noticed

Uninvited

The storm that raged outside brought droplets of water that dashed against the glass of an apartment window like liquid bullets. Even as the city outside his apartment bathed under the rain that tumbled from the blackened clouds, a tired young man lay asleep on his sitting room sofa, his stomach rising and falling in an uninterrupted rhythm. His only company, a young woman about his age, lay prone on a large cushion with her head craned over a book. The hour would have passed in silence were it not for his gentle breaths, the distant thunder, and the rustle of the pages she turned as she feasted on the strings of words that gave way t

Integrity

I’ve never turned down a job. Professional integrity, and all that. But even so, when I saw the name in the file, I cringed. At some point in every man’s career, he gets that job he knows is going to make or break his name. I’d been using this name for a while now, and it had started to get a decent rep behind it. People knew me. Not my face, obviously. I was smart enough to use wigs and contacts; prosthetics, if I had to. A face was too damn valuable, and not so easy to change. Especially if you didn’t go in for all that cosmetic surgery stuff. But names? Names were easy. Names were shoes that you could slip on and

things I never told you.

some poems feel like water. this one is more like sand, and I'm suffocating in the maw of a desert that was better left rusting its clairvoyance. it started one night when I remembered that I've kept everything you've ever given me: roses, faces, promises. I never really understood how to let things go, and when the thought of turning the things you'd touched away from my doorstep choked the poetry from my throat, I realized why. I keep reminding myself that I should probably be nicer to you, but I think you already know that I'm only capable of being nice when I'm cornered and out of ideas. and despite what you claim, you've never been

Unfathomable

I have been told that my eyes are like someone bottled you up and poured your color into my irises. Sure, it’s a lovely compliment, but I am not you. You are a child playing dress-up with your sister’s coats and frocks because you want to be something bigger; and she’s sweltering with jealousy that you can wear those grays and blues better than she ever could. You are an angst-ridden teen who dyed and spiked her hair to hear her mother scream, and no matter how many times she tells you that your boyfriend is a washed up good-for-nothing, you keep coming back to kiss the shoreline because you think that his love feels right
