When I was a child I tried to live in a dome,
I couldn’t fathom the convoluted questions of life,
I placed myself inside a pretty pink bubble,
Where only happiness, peace, and butterflies live,
I used to be
weak.
But now I am
strong.

angry,
frustrated,
defeated.
But you helped me
to prevail
Oh mentor of mine,
You are my valentine,
Oh wait. I'm lying.

What did poetry do? Poetry was the thing that picked me up, kept me going. Here is my poem.
How can the absence of this band represent my life?
Now it is so easy to throw
Loud is each blow
Somehow they are so low
Now I tremble and kneel slow
Somehow within it feels like a ridgid knife
Hey
You've done well
To make it to this point
But it's not over yet.
The nightingale must
not stop singing.
Be Strong when
Mother tells you
Dear Failure,
My precious frienemy who teaches me copious lessons and
A Force that pushes me to my lowest points,
Pain comes with each experience with you
But your lessons are the sweetest.
Dear Mind,
Look at you a cacophony of noise. Constant yet... forever changing.
A squall of color that finds solace in the lack of it,
Forever...
Pain seems like a beautiful concept, as I sit contemplating your demise. I gazed into eyes constantly deceitful in nature, I guess that would explain you ignorant behavior.
In my movie the world seems perfect
No violence, no sadness, no discrepancies to detect
But then as time fades and life grows
The protagonist cowers as the antagonist shows
My mother,
a true Caco women,
a wingless butterfly
who flew to New York without her skin.
She who once stood under a flaming red tree
stepped back and let go of me.
She lost her father,
Half our lives we spend in the darkness, The other half we are blinded by the light, All part of what ever god you follow plan, Some spend longer in the dark, as it keeps them safe, Where there others who prefer to stay in the warmth of the light
Let me speak the truth of this heart,
That no one wants,
To see, touch, or feel its true intentions,
Of not lust that fulfills most sapiens,
Don't trust the shadows.
At times they can be your only friends you have,
but they can also be the sharpest of knives to your back.
I once shared everything with my shadows.
Living in a world full of poverty
Living in a world trying to find my destiny.
Living in this world, I’m ready for the fight
Fight, yes the fight?
But do I have all the strength?
Beaten downthrown to the groundcovered in bloodCuts run deepCan barely sleepThe tormentors haunt you
