BYOUNGZ POETRY

I whisper secrets into your skin so they seep into your bones.
Your skeleton is full of words your ears will never know.

The adventure of life is not measured in distance or time,
But the moment the soul advances one step closer to its eternal sunshine.

She smells like every birthday candle I ever wasted my breath on,
And taste like every shooting star I ever made a wish upon.

She was a bird locked in a cage, so she never knew how to fly.
The only sound she ever made, was a soft cry.
No wonder why she felt like she never belongs,
she was such a beautiful bird but without a song.

You’re a monster that has no equal,
Loading your insecurities in a needle and injecting them into people.

You have the audacity to say I’m digging my own grave,
but I’m not the one with a shovel and hands covered in shame.

In the end, you can try and blame it all on me,
But I’ll never regret setting myself free.

Thanks to you,
I now exist in two places:

Here and wherever you’re at when your heart races.

My demons will always be a part of you
so might as well embrace it.

Watching wildflowers grow in the cracks of sidewalks will always remind me of when
I told you that you could be loved,
but you didn’t believe me then.

Now look at us,
living proof that just because someone has a crumbling past,
Doesn’t mean you can’t build a beautiful future that will last.

I’ve been whispering a thousand breathless lines to a lover that I will never taste.
Every day I’m reminded why spending time on people is such a waste.

When all I can do is promise words that are as temporary as the scent I leave on their bed.
Whenever morning comes,
I’ll quietly leave you sleeping with my ghost inside your head.

She was missing puzzle pieces of her soul.
Scouring the Earth for people to put her together was the goal.
One day,
she will realize that only she holds the pieces to make her whole.
Until then,
she will waste her time trying to make diamonds from counterfeit coal.
