A riddle

I am a riddle to be solved
a solution to a problematic being

While figuring myself out
I have created more knots

Never ending questions of how to be

I write to be naked

I write to be naked
to find my skin
to find myself

I trace the words around me
make a map
so I can show my true self
to my own heart

When I write
I am me

I can lie and hide
but between the lines
is what I am looking for

When I've tried
to read words out loud
expose my thoughts
it has felt like strip tease

Word by word
piece by piece
I take off my clothes
to reveal my bare self

The only way to love
my unperfect body
is to cover it with letters
phrases that show the side of me
which can only be read

In my handwriting
you can see my emotions

In the shaking voice
reading lines from a messy notebook
you can hear my fears

Kuiskataan

Upotaan hetkeksi siihen uskoon
että maailma voi pysähtyä
jos vain toivomme
             haluamme
             huudamme
tarpeeksi kovaa

Collection of thoughts pt 1

[ These are glimpses from my notebook, lines that never turned into poems. Messy thoughts from 2017. ]


♥♥♥


I am more than the words I write
and less than the empty lines
in this notebook
I try to fill with life


♥♥♥


The ink is my blood
I spill it instead of
dancing with the razorblade
which loves my weaknesses


♥♥♥


We are suppose to
see the same stars
but I don't know if
we are in the same universe


♥♥♥


Don't take the road
that leads straight
to my heart

It'll break us both


♥♥♥


I can feel poetry
on your lips

Your bloodstream moves lines
rushes poems all around your body


♥♥♥


There is a monster under my bed
and it whispers your name


♥♥♥


The word ”darling”
tastes like you


♥♥♥

Replicas

Even if I care
it doesn't mean
I'm happy

Doesn't mean
I won't get stuck
with the replicas
of my imagination

Paradox

I feel like a paradox
I create to fight the anxiety
to clear the sky from the dark clouds

But when I feel good
and the sun is shining above me
my world crumbles

because I can't create beauty
out of the disguised thoughts

A bruised sky

A bruised sky
above my fears
lingering with the weight
of the upcoming rain
that falls on me

like my fear of you
your smile
your emotions
not reflecting mine

Unspoken thoughts

Unspoken thoughts
fragile minds
trying to bring to life
their deepest emotions

Meaningless words flying around
circling the actual cause
figuring out a way
to tell the truth without getting hurt

Painless

Stick roses through my heart
kiss my silent lips
while I try to remember
how we got here
