I may never come first
And I'm used to coming last
But none of that matters to me
Because all I really want to see
Is you becoming what you set out to be
I want to see you smile
And I mean more that once in a while
I don't want to see anymore tears running down your cheeks
Even if you're feeling really down and incredibly weak
Trust me, I know, you're stronger than you think
I'll do my best to support you with whatever you go through
Because that's what I'm here to do
That's quite simply, to be there for you.

I want to reach out and help you
But I feel useless like there is nothing I can do
I can see the pain in your eyes
I can see through your lies –
Saying that you’ll be alright
This isn’t a battle you have to fight
You don’t have to do this alone
I’ll be there for you, just ask, pick up the phone
Whatever your problem, big or small
I’ll help you to pick yourself up and walk tall
I know that you can do
Anything you put your mind to
And so does everyone else too
Have a little self belief and be proud of who you are
It doesn’t matter that you’re not rich and that you don’t drive a fancy car
You’re you, the one who means so much too so many
To those who don’t care if you don’t have a single penny
What do you think?

Hood up, head down
Plodding across the ground
Face mysterious
The public become curious
Hood up, head down
The misunderstood frown
Walking around
The soul never found
Hood up, head down
Strolling through the town
Ahead another rowdy crowd
All with heads bowed
Hood up, head down
Plodding across the ground
Heading home again
Tonight I have found enemy and friend
Hood up, head down
Once again...
This is the first poem I wrote which I was proud of when I was 13.

A message out of the blue
Reminded me of you
The times we used to spend together
Running around in all types of weather
Then we grew up
We had separate paths to follow, different journeys to pursue
But now I'm back in contact with you
Reminiscing about the old times is all I want to do
What do you think?
- Esjae x
You are the one I run to
Even after all we’ve been through
So this is for you
I know it’s only a few words
But if you could see
That everything you have done for me
Has helped me become who I am today
Then maybe one day I’ll be able to repay
All the strength you have given me
What do you think?

When everything goes wrong
You’re always the outsider
The one no one believes
Maybe I should have realised
The friendship we had was,
Too good to be true
When they all come running
I’ll always remember
When I became the outsider
The time I should have realised
The friendship we had was,
Too good to be true.
Now I know
Never forgotten
The outsider I will always be
I have realised
The friendship we had was
Too good to be true
What do you think?

Tell me what you think of me
I know the truth must be bad
Especially now, after all that was said
You say to me that you’ll never forget
But when you’re with them it’s already forgotten
You tell me, honestly
But you tell them truthfully
It could have stayed like this
But I broke the pattern
I knew I couldn’t compete
With these, I’ll remember our honest memory
You remember your truthful memory
At least with us it wasn’t just one way
What do you think?
-Esjae x
Things will change
People will move on
Memories forgotten
The only thing that will stick in my mind
Is the way you stick by my side
True friends forever
The one memory treasured in my head
Kept safe forever
What do you think?

Watch the rainbow paint the sky
Don’t let time pass you by
Memories are created by families and friends
Forget all the arguments it’s time to make amends
Try and find a way back
It’s time to get on the right track
Never let your dreams slip away
Because tomorrow is a new day
The future is in your hands
Turn the page; it’s time to make some new plans
What do you think?
- Esjae x
Friends come and go
Just like the waves of the sea
Creating a web of lies
Is that the way life is meant to be?
Your muffled cries
Ignored by those who are meant to care
Laying motionless in a ditch
And all they are able to say is,
Ain’t life a bitch?
What do you think to this one? Too short to be effective?
