How many girls are thinking what i'm thinking right now?
This kind of crazy makes me want to start drinking.
on and off again
Confusing me, making me think i'm in love
I think that
I never understood how much
I could care, why
I love you so much, you frightened me
because I couldn't tell
where the line was
between friends and lovers
It’s complicated really,
How I used to define the word complicated.
A year ago if you asked me what I wanted,
So here’s how it goes.I breathe my life into the wind
and the mists carry it to the sea
I don't know what I don't know.That is why I never asked questions. All I ever wanted to do is "go with the flow",But then all at once I learned. About you and him,And you and that night,About you and everything I don't agree with.That day felt li
A is for air force. It’s Captain Briggs in the jet. The toughest and proudest man that you’ve ever met.
B is for ball, “why can’t you catch?” Dad grumbled as I shaped my small hands for the next.
And your intellect is wasted.Let me tell you, your words will lose their depth.Because she hears them and smiles,but they are hollow to her.They are just an extension of you.
Was it me?
Could it be?
A violent storm inside of me?
It wouldn't be.
Yet it feels like so,
no matter how many times I say "no."
I wish it wasn't so,
even my heart says "no."
Life is complicated
sometimes impossible,
you see many faces-
your mom may seem horrible.
If I'm stranded on an island, my mom would be in an oasis.
We may end up famous,
it may be unbearable,
Awake one simple word
A complicated place to be
Awake
You have eyes open and are not up
Awake yet totally alone
In dreams I'm battered and bruised
No clue what is dream
What is reality
We met again in the dark last night,
But before I let you go I left my mark.
And for a while I'll haunt your reflection.
Every time you see it, you'll also see me.
Don’t act like I’ve ever been okay.
Because it’s in the smile when I’m angry
The straight lips you demanded when you couldn’t take more
The obedience you looked for
It’s all in me
and it is me
As the population grows,
Every human being becomes less important,
Of less concern to the person next to them.
One day we will have found a solution to running out of resources and created more,
Your upraised so high, and I am so low
I upraise you so high, each and every day
Each night I lower you down, like a show
We complete this task, even in the gray
yes, the confusion is real
I try to figure you out
but it's like I'm mentally ill
especially that chemistry
it's just like begging to spill
'cause baby you know you got it
with like far more appeal
It…was the first time…that I’d ever felt extramarital sex was a sin
Was the first time I’d tasted the bitterness of this forbidden fruit I’d always found sweet
Your hands which I’d always thought were warm chilled me to the bone
They complain when i talk about my problems
Where can I be free?
Here I guess-
if you don't mind I will express myself.
It's been awhile now,
In fact it's been too long.
Cognitively
Not where I should be
Feelin' crazy
Not lookin' like me
Mental pictures
Leavin' me unsure
Disturbing thoughts
Have gotten me caught
Drowned by outgrown adulthood,
haikus wither to dull-inked veins that curl and
snap
under pressure of another member laid to rest.
Like bones, syllables line the ground,
curling
bending as
It doesn't make sense,
how someone so young,
Would hate themselves so much
And feel so unloved.
We pay respect to the dead,
But why not to the living?
Why do we only care,
The streets are empty.
Life turns shallow this time of night.
The stop lights continue to change,
but there is no one around.
The beauty of it remains,
but the sadness takes shape.
I think about you every now and then
You're not my friend
No you're too akward, even to pretend
I guess it's whatever
So shy and sweet, until she crys and you're not there to sweep her off her feet.
What is life?
Living in a country where freedom is the key
Yet, being told what to do till you die
Being expected to be perfect
Being expected to become rich
Yet, you get critizied by the color of you skin
Black darkness.
1:34 a.m.
Thinking of you: Good morning.
I miss you.
But then
I remembger you have embarked on a journey
that I am no longer part of.
But still -
Good morning.
You live to be loved,
but what is there to love
when so many are
wanting to survive
and do not have
the heart to stop
and think - if they were
to love, it'd be okay,
It'd be okay.
They come and go,
as they always do.
Some linger
longer than others.
And yet others
still are
oblivious.
But who can blame
human nature?
Stay detached.
As I try to grasp upon this
abstract feeling within me,
"butterflies" as they call it,
bewildered by the tension
pressuring my cells running through me,
pumping wildly and surging
through my veins,
Lost of air...
that's the feeling.
Loss of heart, and
the loss of care.
It's the loss of the part
you used to hold,
the loss of the feelings
you thought you had shared,
It was 'mutual'.
I didn't mean to fall in love,
like how you didn't mean to
say goodbye,
Like how you didn't mean to find another,
another perhaps better than I.
I didn't mean to fall in love,
love
love is a distinguished feeling
a true feeling it can be imagined
but better when experienced
love is pure love is kind
love is found in the deepest barriers
love is unexpected love is bright
Living out of bags
Going from friends to friends
When Life gets this bad
When It ends, It ends
You put the buzzed to the side
Cause you know they've lost your mind
And the world says you lost
What is Love?
Is it fair?
When one loves someone,
yet the other doesn't care.
Is love a war?
Is love a fight?
Is love worth all those sleepless nights?
Can't you see words hurt?
Does it make you feel better?
When you say hateful things,
Or put others down for your comfort.
Others have feelings too,
times where we want to be done.
You know the feeling...
The one where you swear you could fly when you're around that one person
yes that one of course....love
it is painful yet we seem to go through that pain again and again
why?
I'm lying here on the floor crying, dying inside. Nothing left of me just some shattered memories.
When I was five I was asked Roberto, what do you want to be?
What do you see your self being when you're older?
And because he seemed to be trapped within her mind,
With a pitter and a patter,With a pounding, a fleeting flutter,
You never know what the future will bring you
nor do you know who
will be there when you wake,
life is a game of risks and chances
the real question is
how do we handle the grasp of it
I don't wanna go no where
I just want to stay right here
feel the love is this room
and only feel it with you
se your smile so bright
and the glow in your eyes
I see my forever
To forget...To love...To heal
Love cannot be earned nor learn
I am thankful that you never left
But it's time for you to go
Smile just like the way you used to smile with me
A three year old said "i love my mommy"A six year old said "i love my toys"But, what is love?A 1en year old said "i love my friends"A fifteen year old said "i love him"
My dream is my job
Where I get to travel and creat and invent
Oh, no, no ,no, child
They say
No, you must get a job that makes money
Singers make money
And they do what I love
The insanity drives me gradually,
Until I'm forced to wonder,
What is the source of this?
Could it truly be that, which I
A small, naive girl
Affectionatly call love?
Can that which
One, Two, Three, Four,
are you eager for it's shore?
The pale face rises into night,
soldiers stand watch with eyes of glimmer and shine.
we stand watch on the woods of our sailors
A sad girl
Who's been heartbroken
and left to soak in
her own tears.
Left to drown without any support
in her own fears.
We come to You with all the right intentions,
But the moment we set off they burn to pieces.
And it's only now that I realize,
Just how far I've fallen from You.
In Your spotlight, I become convicted,
i look back and see the pain you brought me i must forgive you in order to move on. just another chapter in my life that beginning with a brighter start. we learn to forget only if we forgive.
Used like a toy for laughs,
abused till' the brain stews,
left as an abandoned child.
Why do this to me dear?
At First is was all smiles and Hi's
Shy looks away
Trying not to get caught looking anyway
Confusion, fear of rejection
I’ve never felt like this before, though
So how do I know how I feel?
Life is unfair
The adults all preach it
But it takes so long for you to believe it
You ride the waves
Until the board breaks
I drove past your grave today,
I felt you wave to me.
Your laughter filled my thoughts,
I almost veered off the road...
Maybe because I remembered,
When we used to be alone,
What shall I say of the seasons?
In Autumn’s throes another limb crashes down
Deceased
Used for naught but the kindling of fire
Even of Winter’s frigid squalls barreling through
Hollow
Inertia, drifters' neccessary companion and most fearsome adversary.
Inertia, she carries the car through the drift, or carries the car through the wall.
Inertia, the maker or the breaker.
Why do we worry and where do we place our values
life is not as simple as pass go and collect 200 dollars
the ideas you are fed help none what so ever
struggling for self identification and reconciliation
Love,A Horizon compelled betweenTwo Suns and a MoonTrend carefullyBecause love is yet an eclipse that canDarken your path towards Enlightenment
the simplest things; pencil, paper, eraser. why is it so hard to sit and write or to tell people how we feel? there are simpler things to life. we just make them hard to overcome. but why?
Family
What does that mean?
Does it mean love and care?
Does it mean bothersome and demanding?
From the taste I’ve gotten I’d say bothersome and demanding.
They drive me insane.
i watch you the way a caged bird watches the sky and when i think of you i see those blue eyes
(they are my sky)
and they look into mine and, oh god, i'm pretty sure you can read me like a book because i've got my heart
Life should be simple
But feelings are not
Humans are predictable
But egos cause roots to rot
Life is not simple
If I could profess my love to you
If these dreams of mine could just be true
You think I’d find some peace of mind
beyond wandering around blind
by all the colors of emotions
With a traffic state of mind I can’t seem to find a friendly distraction to ease the pain of the twisting kaleidoscope known as my heart.
Stuck in a triangle so it seems, Lost beyond hope by any means.
Struggling to win a losing fight, I think I just lost the love of my life.
Should have brought a life jacket, To avoid sinking in life's sins
Life is one big jigsaw puzzle,
With all of our scattered and individual pieces.
There are easy and hard parts,
And we need time and patience to finish.
Although we probably don’t realize this:
