34/M/USA I have A LOT of pain and dejected feelings in this body of mine. Poetry helps me cope with those feelings. It also helps me connect with others and fulfills my hero complex if I can be there for them.
Nothing in life comes easy There are things that make us stumble and fall We all want things that come free We want life to answer to our beck and call But that’s not how we grow We have to go through things that make us struggle It may sound cliche But what doesn’t **** you makes you stronger The bad things we experience don’t stay Things will get better after After you gain that worldly wisdom The kind of wisdom that comes with experience There are times you will feel like a victim It’ll feel like your life is going through turbulence Just know at the end of that is a blessing that is there to earn We always must remember to live and learn

Live & Learn
You may think you don’t deserve to smile Like you should just put it away for awhile Thinking like that is not good Find something that makes you laugh (I think you should) It’s human to make a mistake Not everything in life is “a piece of cake” You have to take the good with the bad There will be times you get sad That’s part of getting through the day You just have to remember: It’s okay

It’s okay
Sometimes life hits you hard Then you decide to put up your guard Not letting anyone get too close And when you do you get blindsided with a potent dose A strong dose of some cruelty And you think to yourself: I don’t deserve such negativity Then you realize that some people just don’t care That’s why I have an email that starts with Life isn’t always fair

Life isn’t always fair
I met you and things were great for a few years Then things went south and you told me I hurt you It pained me to see your tears The way everything played out left me feeling blue That’s a strange emotion, I know It wasn’t all on me I think we can recover from this emotional blow We can move forward, you’ll see I know I did something wrong We treated each other like such a prize I have to make myself strong So with that said, I apologize

Like a circle train
After all this time Why did she enter my dream state She didn’t even speak she was like a mime Is this my fate To dream about women that left me Now she’s back in my head I thought I was over her finally I wish I dreamt about a different woman instead For those of you who know This one is about Giovanna, the one that cut me out You know that she did a number on me, I got so low For a little while I admit that I did pout In this dream she hid from me under a table I still don’t understand why That was not cool I almost wanted to cry After I found her she power walked away She had a big frown on her face Let me tell you, I was not okay I wanted to grab her hand but I felt like it wasn’t my place When she drove away I snapped back to reality Again I can’t understand why I dreamt about her I was so close to finally being happy Maybe she’ll give me another chance now that she’s older And if not I might just cry And wipe away those tears and ask once again “Why”

Why
Early morning 3 hours after midnight Listening to music Trying to drown out that feeling Wishing everything was alright I wanted her and I to just click Her name starts with L Always getting in my feels That's me, that's Ben I'll admit it, I fell It's like I unknowingly took love pills I just can't go through this again.

Again
You are a beautiful woman who has my heart When we meet I'll never want to be apart I'll hold you daily in my warm embrace When you're sleeping I'll leave kisses on your beautiful face If you ever get sick I'll help you make a full recovery Our time together will be full of glee

My heart
Time really does go by fast Simpler times are now past Responsibilities and Adulting Not everything can be smooth sailing People tell you to act your age For me that's equivalent to being in a cage I don't like being told how to behave I might as well be a slave I'm my own master Sometimes I wish time would move faster Faster to a point where life can be sweet

Chronology
Times are changing What I used to endure now sting I'm constantly feeling excruciating pain My mental state goes to a different plane What I used to shutout comes back in And I seek out distractions again and again Will I ever get out of survival mode? Negative times don't last is what I'm told But those are words that fall on empty ears I just want to end this survival mode with a Cheers!
