Poetry

Someday, someone will hug you
And I swear you'll be complete
It'll put you back together,
Pull you out of your retreat

They'll wrap themselves around you
As you look into their eyes
And that is all that it will take
For you to realize

That the thing that you'd been missing
As you roamed around the land
Was a hug you could hold on to
Or a hand that you could grab.

Poetry

Pressure me, 
Pressure me
I'm never enough,
You see

Make me work
Break my back
God forbid 
I ever slack

I don't meet
Your expectations
But yet I'm supposed
To create a generation

Not good enough
Not good enough
You say it's easy,
But it's tough

You do not see
Inside my mind
If you could,
What would you find?

Would it make you run away?
What more would be left to say?
Because you never got your way?
"You're just a child, no work, all play"

Do not tell me who to be
You do not see
What I can see
And I'm going to be me...

Please be silent,
Hear my plea.

Poetry

Why must you judge me

For my one mistake?

Claim to be my friend,

But turns out you're a fake

How do you know

Who I am behind the screen?

You've never met me

You don't know what I mean

I was wrongly influenced

I should have been stronger

Following this person,

I couldn't have been wronger

It wasn't my choice

I'm not that way

I open my mouth,

But have nothing to say

You should know this

If you know me so well

But you don't,

Because to you, nothing I tell

If you can talk behind my back

Then you aren't any good

You swear you would not

But I know you would.

Poetry

I fell for the demon
I fell for the charm she cast
I fell for a liar
Who could never understand my past

She broke me down
Til all was gone
I asked only for understanding
But she had none.

A crack in the vase
Slowly appearing
Breaking apart,
I'm finally done endearing

I let the vase fall
For I no longer care
It couldn't be fixed,
Love was no longer there

You've just come to burden me
To weigh me down deep
I told you everything,
But my secrets you won't keep

So I'm letting you go
Go on, fly away free
And please don't come crawling back
Crying to me.

Poetry

Break me
You lost me
Oopsy
Daisy

Try to get me back now
But I won't turn my back now
Too many stabs
And wounds were made

Off guard
Off guard
I fell hard
Onto the shard

That had shattered
From your heart
Compulsively beating too hard

For something that promised you nothing
You fell for you thought it was something
But now you came back... without the dumb ring

So glad you chose to rise up
Take back your glasses
Your voice,
And stand up

Not blinded
Not blinded
Anymore.

Poetry

RIP 
To who I used to be
Cover the grave
No more to see

No more sadness 
Or floods of tears
Tired of wasting 
Away my years

So close the casket
Lie me down
My other self
Won't make a sound

No more to say 
To those who hate
To those who hurt,
Judge and berate

Smile on my face
As I live again
I've just decided
You're a true friend.

Poetry

Hey, give me a break

Life's a little bit give and take

Trying to do my best

And move along with the rest

Overcome my mind

So I can see what I'll find

Smiling every day

Happy in each and every way

God I'm so glad

I made the change

Because prior to my realization

God my life was strange

Sad every day

Without a reason why

Depressed in my head

But no tears left to cry

Now it's joy everyday

I like it better this way

Wash away the rain

Wash away the pain.
