17/F/Johannesburg, South Afric Hey there fellow writers and poets. I'm just another artist who paints the world out with my words.
You've written poems for other girls, While I've written for no other guy You've let others rule your world, I wouldn't let others have my time You've fallen deep for other beauties, You've given them your heart I wouldn't even let others view me So for you, I stayed unseen art You've built dreams around other dames, Filled with wedding rings and church bells I couldn't even notice another male, Even those who would treat me well. And I sat there, sure I loved you, While your love was presented as "could be's" You were so in love with other girls, That you were too preoccupied to love me.

How many pills does it take, For pain to be numbed? That's a simple answer, Simply take one. How many pills does one need, To be able to fall asleep? That's a simple answer, Try take three. How many pills will I require,To be able to control my thoughts? For lately they've grown into dark desires. Maybe I should try take four. How many pills should I swallow, To be able to see the light? Lately I've been in darkness, and in it I just wallow... Maybe to escape I'll take nine. How many pills must I consume, To feel as if these demons are now out? I don't feel well, and the feeling will resume, Unless I bump up consumption, maybe take ten now. How many pills, will save me, From the terror I now face? I feel too sick to get up, So maybe I should take another eight. How many pills will I need this time, To cure me from the demise of taking a breath? ... Answer: A pill cannot cure life, So the only way to end my sickness is death.

Cure
They Say we're all Just apples on trees. The best ones are on top, at the peak. They sit there and look down hoping one day, someone will come up and just try to reach. The good ones are always on the top– hoping that one day they'll be loved. Offer all themselves, ask not too much. But it seems that the lovers don't want such. They seem too scared to go ahead and climb. Make the rotten ones the apple of their eyes. Get hurt and wonder why they've become blind. And the good ones look at all of this and cry. Asking, how far am I up the apple tree, for it to be so hard to be picked? How far must I fall from the tree, For love to come and let me feel it?

The apple tree...
When the birds start to swim, And the fish decide to fly, When the owls start to hoot at the sun, And when the sun comes out, the lions hide. When the sky becomes the water hole, And the rivers possess the clouds. When our feet start to run on dry ocean floors And we suddenly fall into sand and drown. When serpents decide to kiss Eve's cheek, And doves hiss temptations in the ear. When vultures come to celebrate new life, And eagles start to fly in fear. When demons start to work in the day, And angels do evil biddings at night. When queens are no more, and dead kings don't decay. When rights become wrongs and wrongs become life... When blood becomes water, And tears travel through veins, When the pacifist seeks war, And the ********* hates pain, When eyes start to hear, And ears give sight, When arms are used to run, And legs are used to fly, When gravestones make loved ones smile And a stab to the heart becomes a kiss That is the only time you and I Will have the courage to exist.

Exist
Ever been kissed with no meaning, Yet had everything seeming, As if it were all alright? I got kissed like it was nothing, And yet to me it felt like something, And lately that's been haunting my mind. It's like my kisser had nothing felt, Yet it felt like he needed no one else, And that's why lately I'm not fine. We know the sun is for the day, And night is where the moon lays, But the love behind that kiss felt like sunshine at midnight. I lay here and feel broken, And I swear that this was spoken, But I'm repeating that I do not feel right. I got kissed by someone I thought I loved, But to love wasn't enough... Because in the end it felt like I wasn't even liked.

Ever been kissed?
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see. If you see someone who cares for you, then those eyes no longer belong to me. Look into my eyes, a reflection of my heart. If you see someone that still longs for you, then you're simply looking at shards. Look into my eyes, and try to read my soul. If you see someone who's holding a piece of you, then that's not mine at all. You used to tell me that I was yours, I hope that now you see, that I don't believe you anymore.
