The words burned into my mind
Staggered all the time, they fed way to no grind
OCD they called it, OCD we named her
Why is she here,
Wake up mama
It's not your fault,
these kids today will never
be bought,
Wake up mama
before it's too late.
Your kids in trouble
and he's slavin' after 8,
Wake up mama
To Realize
August 30, 2018 ~ Thursday
They work hard every day to break you
So you have nothing left to go back to
Only forward
Poetry is the window to our personality, our thoughts,
or even the deepest corners of our minds we are too afraid to venture to.
Poetry gives us insight to who were are in the struggles we got caught
Sittin on the toilet waitin wishin
My mind would stop this driftin
It goes so far it hits a point of no return and starts flippin
Why is it so hard to realize
when someone has perished,
that she is gone?
I know that she is gone but it doesn't feel real.
I can feel her all around me.
In every room I feel her prescence,
You see a forest
they look at you the same
Everyone... All they see is trees
I do not see trees
For I am blinded by the leaves of them
I appreciate being blinded
People think life is a simple game
A life in where we can do more and more
But in reality, we must consider how
Others may react to what we've done
From a person walking his dog
i dont understand how people can say there flawless when:
no ones perfect
god doesnt say how to be flawless in the bible
But....
i do wake up flawless without makeup
and i also feel flawless when i dance
Realization dawns like a new eraYou had your chance and you blew itNow you get to regret itAnd I assure you, you will miss thisThings are changing, time moves forward
Sometimes I really start to wonder who I am
I go to church and I remember
but then as soon as i walk out the doors and forget again
in this seemingly endless cycle I go,
over and
over and
over
We should't be together
We shouldn't have our say
There is no us, there is no we
We've faded like your torn blue jeans
I've forgotten your face
Somewhere in time and space we
With the winter winds as a guide,
I want your breath to swirl in my chest-
I need your nicotine.
Can't you hear my ribs chiming
like chapel bells
Each time your words form smoke rings
Cleave to what you left,
When you took away my
breath. Leave, just go and
leave me with nothing left.
So my shattered heart can
grieve.
My heart is filled to the brim,
We are nothing.
They say we’re free.
It’s just an illusion.
Others believe it, but I refuse.
These standards, these rules
We tell ourselves to study history
This is so that we don't repeat the past
Yet the moment we have the opportunity to change
We always revert to the exact same decisions that we choose before
So many people don't realize,
the affect they have on so many lives.
A smile, a wave, a sign they care,
that's all they really have to share.
Say "Hello", or take time to talk,
It seems like,
everyone is always trying to change themselves
thinking it will change the world around them as
I’m trying not to lose these fading memories,Because they’re all that I have left of you,Even when the pain brings me to my kneesAnd I can’t breathe because I’ve glimpsed the hue
You left,
I cried,
I ate ice cream,
You went out drinking,
I went to school,
You stayed at home,
I got a degree,
You got a newborn,
I got money,
You barely made rents paid,
I regret nothing out of all of this
I swear I would never take a thing back
And never have I taken your love for granted
In fact, it was my loyalty that had you taken aback…
Im not really sure where it began
was it the first or second time you held my hand?
It was Autmn and it was cold
I was only 15 years old.
I thought I loved you and maybe i did
The way it all happened
The adolescent flair once abandoned
Now is the critically acclaimed charm
In the Fantasty Castle
Occupied via a more deserving owner.
So why did I attempt to perform ethically
My own mind is playing tricks on me. Im able to concetrate, function in school & even maintain my social life
It's incredible really.
How two fucked up people,
from a shit town can
end up planting flowers
inside each other's wrists
and growing a whole different
atmosphere.
Somebody once told me
that Life was like clay,
no matter how much you fiddle around with it
the clay will eventually harden.
What did they mean?
Somebody once said
that Life was beautiful and
My heart belongs to you,
It beats for you.
It only wants you,
And no one else.
But my body rejects you
completely.
I am disgusted by your presence.
I want to forget you,
Shelter disdainful epiphanies behind latched heart
For pity to sneakily evaporate
And emotions grow painfully tart
To mediate the dormant desire into blossomed state.
Drag Restless on her knees;
I feel for you my dear,
I do.
He fooled us all.
When he took his vows as only words,
and broke all of our hearts.
And the son you bore him,
will never know married parents.
I'm no artist, dolled up
and I'm not perfect, flawed is beautiful
and I'm worth it.
Shining so bright, to the world
its blinding, on my accord it is
real no binding
it was a flawless secret
one held too tight across her mind
it would push against her eyelids
so that every single time
she would close her eyes to rest or even blink
it would take control of her dreams
I was not witness to a father who beats,
I was witness to a father who cheats.
I never said a word, I kept it all in,
I still wonder if doing that was my greatest sin.
My mother went on not knowing the truth,
I thank you darling
For those words that you spoke
To me that day we sat under the trees
In my backyard
On that hot summers day
The scent of my mothers yellow gladiollas
Drifting up our noses
Words and actions are two separate things, but both you need to discover somethings. Like who's in your past, or what will be future. You can't just say and expect them to know; you can't just do and hope it'll show.
all my pain and worry sides in this place
me not in your arms is between us space
after you hurt and used me
to be my self i cant be
but slowly im learning to move on
in what seems to be a con
I hate you!
No I dislike you very much.
All the lies you told,
filled my heart with no trust.
Nothing but anger, fear and abuse;
I can't help you have relationship issues.
I feel like I'm a million miles away,
running on a road moving in the wrong direction.
Tryin to get to you .....
why do i bother, why do i care?
When all i get is empty words.
Empty arms I run into
I know I never will forget
the way you said I love you.
The butterflies I felt
when you glanced me way
Every gentle word and soft touch
will never be forgotten.
the girl you found
Have you seen the girl that shines?
The one that thought she could only shimmer.
She holds her head up to the sky.
And her eyes; you can see them glimmer.
Over come with sadness my hearts in the air and no one to really share with what is complexing my mind and bottling my eyes confusing my heart to believe I have nothing good left in me nothing but 3 6 spirits left in me minus the 1 spirit God put
How can I hate you so much when I'm told "you are to love your neighbor as you love yourself." But your no neighbor nor are you even a close or distant friend. You not even an enemy , your no threat to me but I hate you with every inch of me!!
It felt good
It felt good to have someone call my name
To bring me happiness and play love games
It felt great
It felt great to have a partner in crime
To have a lover to love and a love to call mine
It’s hard to decipher from my head and my heart
Not knowing which one to listen to
It’s like Satan on one shoulder and god on the other
Both persuading you
But which one will I choose
The real me is shy,
But not afriad to speak her mind
The real me is weak,
But tries to be STRONG,
The real me can sing and dance,
But just donesn't show it
The real me is smart,
Together forever
that's the promise you made to me
the shirt that you made even said that we could be
Together forever
yes, we was so in love
no one could tell me nothing
around you i was high like a dove
Dear Survey,
Should I be the blame of my own brokenhearted pains ?
Is it my fault that I fell in like with the idea that I should be happy with my own beauty enough to share it with another ?
Before you, I had everything planned out.
But the moment you came into my rear view eye sight you grabbed my heart and molded it like play doh into something that could only fit in the palm of your hands
No one knows
The affects you have on me.
I don’t know if you would be considered
A passion or a drug.
When im with you I become
Something I wish I could be everyday…
I feel almost super human.
You got me hooked one day I least expected.
It pained me first but quickly passed my mind.
Your motives clear, to catch, I read the signs.
Excitement made, reality neglected.
You never intended to stay with me
You only gave up and ran away
You never listened, it was always your way
I use to imagine how we would be
But I've given up on that silly dream
In my defense
(You have none)
I just needed someone to lean on
(For a while, then be done)
It’s not my fault you wanted more
(Told you I wasn’t like her)
And it’s been a year, yeah, I’m sure
Rain.
Each drop of H20 hitting my face
rejuvenating me
Cleaning my soul
Washing me of my sins
Making me realize how I needed this
Cold winds and
rain
Not sure what direction to go
it's just a necklace
seven dollar find at
Elysium Antiques
a smoothed wooden dolphin
charm, no bigger than
baby fiddler crabs
dangling from a swaying
black piece of string.
Hard, reliable, dependent on one another
Relationships are like bones
Stable yet unstable, fragile yet stern
a structure that seems to never burn.
I gave you all my trust.
maybe it was love or was it just lust.
You stole my heart without a doubt,
and now I can't find a way out.
Lives intersect,
Countlessly,
Few ever connect
For eternity,
Or even for more,
Than a moment,
Before they are torn,
And sent
I’ll dance to the music,
That sings inconsolably sweet
I’ll sway and step
And try.
I’ll dance to the music
Because I have no words
Only the need to dance these
Steps
i woke up in the moring with the sun in my eyes. i turned around to see if my lover was by my side. i kissed her goodbye,shut the door and started to cry
The times that we had, The good and the bad
The things that we shared,could never be compared
You were my everything, My water and air
You made my heart smile, It lasted a while
It wasn't all fair
With the stars in your hair
And the smile
That played on your lips.
When you made me believe
Here's my long lost dream
Coming true.
A poet without a muse,
Like a bird without a song.
Just when I figured there was nothing left to lose,
The words no longer where they belong.
In the back of my mind
Now reside the melodies so sweet,
Something happened in my life and yours
Something happened that no one ignores
Something unusual and something strange
Something only we exchange
No words can say
How happy and gay
Happiness is all I ever wanted But loving you is like a dying weed The actions that you portrayed assaulted The way you talk to me can only feed The hatred I once felt for you is gone In my search I have found somebody new Who handles me like a de
Happiness is all I ever wanted
But loving you is like a dying weed
The actions that you portrayed assaulted
The way you talk to me can only feed
Amidst all the noise echoing halls. She sits quietly writing, reading, hard work doesn’t inspire except the attitude which she portrays
She is diligent
She is mighty
And spends long nights doing work till perfection
*this poem is in reverse, this is the title and the poem is above
?One last question
So now you got her
Wrapped up tight in your arms
Like a dog chasing a car now… IM there
Feeling high as the sky
But still one question unanswered
Or is it many
Never loved anyone like this before,
Nor met someone as marvelous as he,
Sorry, he is someone you can’t go for,
He has been happily taken by me.
At first I was afeard to love again
I fell so hard when we met that day,
And noticing you failed to feel the same.
Forgive me for my heart is worn,
And your's untamed.
Let me start by saying that us girls are hypocrites,
We give our friends relationship advice and end up putting up with the same shit
These dudes only do what we allow
Give a dog some beef and of course he'll want the cow
I miss your soft lips. I miss your white T's. I miss how whenever I tried to get the hair out of your face you would shake it right back over your smirk. I miss the scracth of your unshaved face on my cheek.
Someday you'll love me,
Someday you'll care,
Someday you'll treasure the moments we've shared.
Someday you'll learn,
Love is not a game,
Then you'll realize,
I'm not the same.
