You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

Stars dancing in the sky,
Leaving mysterious traces to the night.
Time disappears like a dream,
In the melody of poetry, we find our hopes.

And after all isn't it what most people secretly want? To find friends who they connect with so much, that they can be themselves around, that their basically family.
Friends that love you even at times when they are annoyed with you. Friends who you can be weird with, yourself without judgment. I think that's one of the reasons we still have hope in the world.

Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby wrote me a letter
I don't care how much I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby wrote me a letter
Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen, mister, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more?
Wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen, mister, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more?
Well, she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen, mister, can't you see
I've gotta get back to my baby once more?
Give me a ticket for an airplane
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby wrote me a letter

Don't know how long I have to stay here.
She told me you would leave me behind,
And I wait and wait.
The clock was never on my side.
I can hear her breathing.
Heavily
She talks to me all the time.
She questions me,
My decisions and ambitions.
Where's my remuneration?
I drop my principles like my phone.
Wine is still better than recognition.
I still wait and wait.
You told me you would leave me behind.
How long do I have to stay here?
Hindsight sets in like morning dread.
Old habits
They whisper to me.
They let me forget.
Where's my determination?
I've been here for a while now.
How long have I been sitting in front of this curtain?
No light shines through.
I can only smell the fresh air.
She’s a writing on the wall.
I can’t taste the world’s promise anymore. 🌍

Evilin when she's a gay, Autistic, Cool Evil Villain: heck yeah, I rock
Evilin when others underestimate how Gay, Cool, Evil and Autistic she is: you fool, Your ignorance may be bliss to you but it will be your downfall, I shall crush you poor mortal with my bare fists, (and wicked awesome magic powers) down to the ground, beating you piece by piece, And you shall *suffer* for what you have done, this utterly offensive *insult* to me and my, Neurodivergent-Cool-Gay-Evilness. DIE!

poetical flirt
"J- My eyes are shit brown, your eyes are a stormy grey with a blue tint.
C-Your eyes are the eternal earth, mine's are only a short-lived storm.
J-A short storm breeds life and greenery, does it not?
C-Yes but it destroys all those who dare to go against the wind.
J-And that is why ships go with the wind, not just to avoid its wrath, but to be granted kind tidings by its merciful flow
C-And that earth remains the same"

Poetry; Haikus
Haikus are poems of three lines and typically focus on nature. They have a specific amount of syllables per line and don't rhyme.
Haikus are often said to have 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second and 5 on the third, which is correct in English. However, they originated in Japan, which uses multiple different alphabets of typically 69 characters, most of which consist of the english translation of two letters. (E.g hirigana symbol か would translate to English Ka). In Japanese, they use 17 on (syllables) Consequently, reading and writing haikus in Japanese makes them flow better and sounds like how they were intended.
Often, they focus on a single event and use juxtaposition and imagery. Traditionally, they use at least one kireji (cutting word, it creates a pause in the poem, which doesn't translate to English, so often an exclamation mark or ellipsis is used) and one kigo (a seasonal reference).
Overall, writing haikus in English is fairly simple, with one of the most easy structures. Although, if you are looking for a more traditional poem, attempt some of the Japanese haiku rules.
Some famous poets who use this structure include: Matsuo Basho, Kobayashi Issa, Jack Kerouac, Sonia Sanchez and Tomoji Ishizuka

The sky has wept, stars have scattered into the night,
A mysterious sorrow envelops, darkness within me.
Wandering in solitude, I dance with the shadows,
I watch this night filled with silent screams.
As the stars flicker, a fire in my eyes,
I am a stranger to you, filled with lost emotions.
Amidst the shadows, I am lost,
A poet merging with the night, loneliness in my words.
Darkness embraces me, in the silence,
I take a sip of sorrow, lose myself in dreams.
The lightless streets make you vanish,
The depth in my eyes silently narrates everything.
Lost in the shadows, a poem concealed,
Embracing the night, I feel the bitterness of solitude.
Hidden in my words, the sorrow of a love,
Lost in the darkness, a poet's outcry.
