bloodline
you brought me to life -
brought my heart blood,
my lungs oxygen,
my mind consciousness.
so naturally, everything i do,
i can do because of you
and i ask:
“what would i be without you?“
so you say:
“you are you, even without me
you’d be everything you are right now
and everything you will be in the future.“
that’s not true, i think
i owe you everything.
and every night
when i‘m asleep
you save my life
and in the morning,
when you softly wake me
you let the light...

love love // all i see is him right now
love does not equal love, you know?
love is something unique, like snow
waiting to be unwrapped, admired
wanting to be adored, desired
when you talk about love, you may think of the big constellation
your future family but what a sensation
yet, when i talk about love I think of morning dew
I zone out, oh, how I like the sight of you...
to be admired, attentious and honest
like the other guys always promised
say, can you keep it this time -
or are you also playing the mime?
a voice so gruff I begin...

i‘m thinking about you
what’s growing on me i can’t undo
you’re under my skin like needles for a tattoo
i want to continue
singing like i always do
but everything i do, i seem to do for you
please, darling, come to my rescue!
love as fresh as the morning‘s dew
hearts on a foggy window that i drew
my view gorgeous, pretty as i stare at you
why don’t you have no clue?
in love with the idea of loving you?
i don’t get it, but that’s nothing new
can i get over feeling blue
for...

on love
love
the most complex of all
love
the most soul crushing of them all
high value, pure and golden
the biggest of them all
but what about everyday love?
what about friends?
when i talk about love
i picture them -
friends, my dear friends -
the ones i owe my sanity to
the ones sacrificing their time to check in on me
and the ones who deserve not only that
but the world in every screaming color
happiness displayed on their faces
as they achieve everything they're destined to
you know what follows: ...

do you remember?
do you remember
my last poem?
“her“ was its name
writing about love
about what’s above
and beyond our minds
love in all forms and kinds
writing about her
she who is kind,
she who loves a quick glance
and little smiles
she who is beautiful,
she who admires everyone
and their passions
who she is?
she is me
quite literally
except i wouldn’t know
if i hadn’t stopped running
to you, to them, away from myself
all that i aspire to be
in the end
is me.

her
she lights me up,
inspires and enlightens me
she’s there, even though it can be bad
because of me,
and when it does
she’s there.
she’s the stars
i’m the moon
together we come down in full bloom
when she smiles, she heals the parts where others left scars.
this goes out to her.
she, who sees me
she, who hears me
she, who cares
and she, who dares.
i’ve made mistakes
with you, i’m sorry
i miss you
i miss what we are, were

to be freed
what is freedom?
and do i need some?
taking a break
small waves on a lake
looking around,
hearing their sound,
i confound being busy and healed,
the things drowning, hurting me
with the things grounding me, freeing me.
stepping back, come to rest, my love
let the rain pour from above.
allow yourself to feel blue
from losing weight from past times to
being freed by evolving to a higher self,
purposefully, for herself and her health.
be proud of losing,
be proud of choosing
to be freed
and do i need some?
taking a break
small waves on a lake
looking around,
hearing their sound,
i confound being busy and healed,
the things drowning, hurting me
with the things grounding me, freeing me.
stepping back, come to rest, my love
let the rain pour from above.
allow yourself to feel blue
from losing weight from past times to
being freed by evolving to a higher self,
purposefully, for herself and her health.
be proud of losing,
be proud of choosing
to be freed

confusion
tonight, i am confused.
on saturday, i was fulfilled.
on wednesday, i felt alone.
nothing changed in between,
the constellation did not.
what changed is my mind, i‘m keen
to be loved, keen to feel hot.
yesterday, i was sad.
on friday, i felt safe.
on tuesday, i was happy.
nothing changed, except for me.
what does he want from me? my body,
my words, or my heart?
now i can’t help myself with being smart…

can i, for once, be okay?
can i for once be normal
so i don’t fall out of the way it should be?
can i for once not be in the norm
because i hate being unnoticed?
can i for once be emotional
and feel like a human should feel?
can i, for once, be enough for myself
while i evolve as fast as i can?
can i, for once, be okay
with who i am, with who i can be?
being a teenager can’t be easy
when your brain won’t open the blinds
and your emotions collect dust
just as you learn to heal from childhood experiences…
so why can’t i just be enough ...

different
what is love?
and what does a body have to do with it?
having a crush is exciting -
but what do you do when the waves flatten
and you overcome those first feelings?
is this even love i‘m feeling
or am i just doubting myself
am i incompatible to love?
feels like i‘m numb to arousal
to feel like everyone else.
i‘m so different when i want nothing
nothing but being in the norm.
i want a boring life, a boring love,
a boring me.
but if i‘m anything, i‘m different.

fall
i begin to fall,
and fall,
and fall,
after all,
that’s my wake up call
love has my heart befall,
my feelings began to squall
head & heart in brawl,
inside, i hear a loud bawl:
tell her!
tell her!
i‘m afraid as i tell y’all
“i love her“, i can recall
the day we danced in the hall,
it’s so clear in the end, in all
you do, in all
i am
i think i fall,
and fall,
and fall.
only for her
only for you
always.
and fall,
and fall,

that’s my wake up call

star girl
i‘m falling into the dark
finally, there’s a spark,
it ignites my heart,
ready for the complete restart.
new me, new her
moon and stars united, we‘re
together after all, but
we’re in between, now what?
tell her, they say, just say it!
but what if? what if we fail, commit
to each other but fail?
well, beautiful destinies are only found off trail
and so i plan, waiting hurts
i plan on saying stupid words
the moon needs its stars
say yes, and we’re only ours <3
