Such a disaster , I'm passing by
With distress to live and get tie
My heart says : don't say goodbye
But my mind says: let's die!
An infinite loop it has made thereby
Shine like a diamond when the world calls you coal
Ignite like a flame, even in winters so cold
Fly like a dove when storms are approaching.
Stand tall like a tree, when no one is watching
We are not appraised by how we begin
Nor are we judged by our face or our skin
We learn to hide what we’re told to by others
Using our clothes and makeups as covers
Thought: Baby Steps
Have you ever watched a parent guide a toddler's steps?
It's whimsical,
I say that geared toward the toddler because their legs just aren't strong enough yet,
You know?..
Why are you slacking?
Don't take shortcuts
Don't do hacks
If it won't kill you
Keep trying
Just Try
Why are you crying?
Don't be depressed
Don't be scared
What’s it to you friend
If I had known you when
we made some mistakes time and time again
So let me tell you what; let me implore you the lesson
If I could spell fear then I wouldn't,
Given the chance, I'd scream it in its face,
You would begin to stutter but you shouldn't,
Fear was designed to put you in your place,
Purpose
Individual.
Unique.
Personal.
Who are you?
Who are we?
A purpose found – found and exploited.
Finding us, no, finding yourself;
Obtainable?
Cuz you know,
why you gotta try?
Plenty of people have gone through life
not trying or caring
so why me?
Cuz you know,
why you gotta think?
I've met plenty of people in my life
I tried it.
I will try anything once.
I tried to trust you,
believe your promises.
I tried to follow you
even if you were wrong.
I tried to love you,
trust me this time.
Look how beautiful she is.
Look at her dress, how it shines in the light.
Look at her nails, painted just right.
Look at her hair full of diamonds and gold.
I tried.

i tried.

i tried.
but did you care?
isnt trying once enough?
it depends, did what you try matter to you? At all?
maybe.
The sun’s peeking at me.
Tickling my face, somehow sliding under my covers.
My pillow’s so soft,
My blanket so warm,
My dream still beckoning,
I try to focus,
but im just too hopeless
8 planets in the universe,
I'm on the coldest
The things that complete us,
seem to leave us broken
i got distracted from success
Poetry
Flourishes like a tree,
Expanding it branches,
Reaching, stretching
Trying to expand
Leaves form
Blossoms bloom
You have to fall before you can fly,
and you gotta scrape your knees
before you reach the sky.
So don't complain,
and don't sigh.
And when you think
that you can't go on, well,
Slow, cringed movements
Small breaths, rapid
Sapped, every ounce of
strength, gone
Sun is beating down, blaring hot
Sweat drips off of my forehead
Imperfection. That means flawed.
Doing all that you can day in and day out,
living the struggle.
They see you trying, they don't see you crying when you are staying up late after work.
I am a failure. I am a failure at being honest. I am a failure at being punctual. I am a failure for being jealous. I am a failure for being greedy. I am a failure at drinking too much. I am a failure for sleeping with too many people.
Here's to all the kids
who make it through the end
of the day
and wake up for the next one
even though
all they really want to do
is stay
and hide away.
Let your hair down
Take your makeup off
Put your feet up
Relax
It's life
It'll happen
Release your stress
Get up and live
You don't have to change
Don't try hard
I saw ribs,
I saw bones,
I ad-libbed,
My lungs filled I with stones.
I saw her eyes;
Green like the sea,
Looking up at cloudless skies;
Bel esprit.
Who;
Can I be?
ME

A bird cannot leave the nest
Without first learning to fly
A parachute without hot air
Will never reach the sky.
A rocket without fuel
Will miss it's chance to meet the moon
All i do is tryI try when i writeI write until i cryI write until there are mo tears left inside my eyeSo what is the real reason why people try?
Someone told me months ago
“Once you find her, just let her go;
‘cause if you don’t, you will fall to stones
so foolish and shamed, and so damn alone.”
Someone grabbed me by the hand,
I trace the wind
It’s path, it takes me
Past the part
Of happy endings
Now I swim
I swim so swiftly
I cry, I try
To hear myself
Can I reclaim my innocence
Stopping half way across his path I leaned up against his soul and saw the demon taking hold.
He took out his nine inch sword and held to the sky telling me and my wolf, we were about to die.
I strive and strive to reach the top.
Never ever thinking to stop.
All I hear is “Go harder, Keep pushing!” and “Be number 1!”
But what if number 2 is all I got?
They claim words don’t hurt,
An insomniac? Me? No. Never.
I don’t need to TRY to sleep.
That’s usually the only thing that comes easy to me
I always need to TRY to accomplish greater things
I have to TRY to learn, to study
Why I Try
I try for all the people
All the ones gazing upon me with zealous thought
And all the ones who wonder what the truth had brought
At a glance...
Years are
Engraved on the forehead
Eroded by concealer
Souls are
Peering from the eyes
Blocked by avoidance
Ignorance is
Spoken boastfully
To those who will listen
Life is a perpetual cold.
It is said to cure it
"Do what you're told.
Don't stray from the norm,
or life will suck."
But I am not a sitting duck.
The status quo is getting old,
Why try
I try because I want something new.
I try because what I wanted was you
I try and try, but no longer I do
I've stopped trying, but I still think of you.
Why try
Her bones have been broken and she crawls, her legs dragging along, erasing the footsteps of yesterdays routine. Every inch creaks and snaps and in agony, she stays silent. " I am Lament." The sadness of yesterday wavers in her face and she a
Close your eyes,
open your mouth,
let your stomach shout an OMMMM
stretch, relax, take care of your skin,
eat properly, be gentle, give, never take,
be honest.
Work hard, sleep much,
run
Grades are good but I mean there is no other choice.
Academics are basically your only voice.
The only way to be heard in such a loud world.
A world where geniuses are born with a GPA higher than yours.
I held his hand
reached for his heart
but an arm's reach
only reaches so far
I stood and strained
as if reaching for the stars
I reach and reach
stretching so far
I try for his heart
Try and try
strive and strive
reach for the stars
that all you know is headed towards
try and grasp
even with crushing feet
and glaring eyes
condemning you
for daring to reach
Starting a phrase with an I makes you selfish all the time, so think before you rhyme and take time on every line
If you really wanna hit the spot, hit 'em where it hurts
You have a castle for a mind and those flags
They don't bear enough welcome
Put your drawbridge down
We won't all hurt you how some have
Call off the guards and stone walls
All I do is try but nothing seems to go right
It makes me want to cry, but never loose sight,
The goals I have set, I don't plan on failing,
so let me not fret and I'll keep prevailing.
I am searching for my place
in this world of open space.
Through the barriers and walls
it is hard to see our calls.
No funding for tution
but a degree is needed with ambition
to break down that block
Pitter patter,noises unclear
The noises quickens in pace
As if it has something to tell
Something so dear
But it leaves a confusing trace
An unclear tale?
