I love art with a passion, anything that involves it. / Thank you for anyone who likes my stuff it's greatly appreciated. / Please leave any feedback to help better improve my poems.:)
We are the broken generation today, maybe just one happy day, no misery to surround us, hope the only thing around us, no need for medication that never helped, no hourly cost for how much we spoke, no hatred on people who can’t be the same, different faces, different names, races and pain, innocent eyes in the beginning lost on different streets, no matter how far apart we are we still are so close, all went through pain better version, or worse, it was still felt, experiences that tore our soul’s apart, emptiness, life of a loved one lost or just trying to save our own, the cancer, the abuse, the drugs, the misuse of the things that are supposed to save us, are the very things destroy us, day by day, night by night, if we fought together, everything would be alright, acceptance is the way, no more lives lost to the suicidal thoughts, tendencies forgot angels no longer lost.

Through the eyes of someone else
Rock-a-bye baby in tear soaked pillow tops momma don't care and daddy don't try and if you shall cry no one will see, no one will believe, someone as sweet as can possibly be could be so far apart her from deepest needs They pull it they tug, they shred it apart can you pick up the pieces dismantled on the floor far apart from the world oh pretty baby pick your head up hopes not lost hold you're heart together with string and lost dreams hold your head up don't show the darkness in side rock-a-bye baby right back to sleep

Old lullaby's
I am in awe of the limitless nature of the human mind How it stretches infinitely inwards Containing a private universe that would be forever in isolation Unless that individual chooses to launch out shooting stars Rocket ships from other worlds in the form of music, poetry, art We are sending satellite signals out from our galaxies Desperately holding cups to our ears Tightrope walking on the string theory

String Theory
The nightmares went away when i laid beside you're warm body wrapped legs around you the rhythm of hearts beating in sync Never did i wake up screaming only woke up to the smell of food handcrafted by you with a gentle kiss on the lips

Nightmares
grief doesn't come in order it skips and goes backwards like a broken clock ten hours past the dot it catches us off guard ripping us apart though acceptance is always the final stage that is if it ever comes at all

Acceptance
The day had come when lovers had to say goodbye Bid a piece of smile and wave a little hand She thought that their love was so real Yet ended up being strangers to each Weeks had passed and you are still there In her little mind that is full of moments Moments that you had shared together Moment that you should have cherished together. It's been a while since her heart was so alone And now, she had learned something new That no one could fix her broken soul But only she could do it, if she only knew.

Fixing a Broken Soul
Tell me, O tell, what kind of thing is Wit, Thou who Master art of it. For the First matter loves Variety less; Less Women love’t, either in Love or Dress. A thousand different shapes it bears, Comely in thousand shapes appears. Yonder we saw it plain; and here ’tis now, Like Spirits in a Place, we know not How. London that vents of false Ware so much store, In no Ware deceives us more. For men led by the Colour, and the Shape, Like Zeuxes Birds fly to the painted Grape; Some things do through our Judgment pass As through a Multiplying Glass. And sometimes, if the Object be too far, We take a Falling Meteor for a Star. Hence ’tis a Wit that greatest word of Fame Grows such a common Name. And Wits by our Creation they become, Just so, as Tit’lar Bishops made at Rome. ’Tis not a Tale, ’tis not a Jest Admir’d with Laughter at a feast, Nor florid Talk which can that Title gain; The Proofs of Wit for ever must remain. ’Tis not to force some lifeless Verses meet With their five gowty feet. All ev’ry where, like Mans, must be the Soul, And Reason the Inferior Powers controul. Such were the Numbers which could call The Stones into the Theban wall. Such Miracles are ceast; and now we see No Towns or Houses rais’d by Poetrie. Yet ’tis not to adorn, and gild each part; That shows more Cost, then Art. Jewels at Nose and Lips but ill appear; Rather then all things Wit, let none be there. Several Lights will not be seen, If there be nothing else between. Men doubt, because they stand so thick i’th’ skie, If those be Stars which paint the Galaxie. ’Tis not when two like words make up one noise; Jests for Dutch Men, and English Boys. In which who finds out Wit, the same may see In An’grams and Acrostiques Poetrie. Much less can that have any place At which a ****** hides her face, Such Dross the Fire must purge away; ’tis just The Author Blush, there where the Reader must. ’Tis not such Lines as almost crack the Stage When Bajazet begins to rage. Nor a tall Meta’phor in the Bombast way, Nor the dry chips of short lung’d Seneca. Nor upon all things to obtrude, And force some odd Similitude. What is it then, which like the Power Divine We only can by Negatives define? In a true piece of Wit all things must be, Yet all things there agree. As in the Ark, joyn’d without force or strife, All Creatures dwelt; all Creatures that had Life. Or as the Primitive Forms of all (If we compare great things with small) Which without Discord or Confusion lie, In that strange Mirror of the Deitie. But Love that moulds One Man up out of Two, Makes me forget and injure you. I took you for my self sure when I thought That you in any thing were to be Taught. Correct my error with thy Pen; And if any ask me then, What thing right Wit, and height of Genius is, I’ll onely shew your Lines, and say, ’Tis This.

Ode Of Wit
Tell me, O tell, what kind of thing is Wit, Thou who Master art of it. For the First matter loves Variety less; Less Women love’t, either in Love or Dress. A thousand different shapes it bears, Comely in thousand shapes appears. Yonder we saw it plain; and here ’tis now, Like Spirits in a Place, we know not How. London that vents of false Ware so much store, In no Ware deceives us more. For men led by the Colour, and the Shape, Like Zeuxes Birds fly to the painted Grape; Some things do through our Judgment pass As through a Multiplying Glass. And sometimes, if the Object be too far, We take a Falling Meteor for a Star. Hence ’tis a Wit that greatest word of Fame Grows such a common Name. And Wits by our Creation they become, Just so, as Tit’lar Bishops made at Rome. ’Tis not a Tale, ’tis not a Jest Admir’d with Laughter at a feast, Nor florid Talk which can that Title gain; The Proofs of Wit for ever must remain. ’Tis not to force some lifeless Verses meet With their five gowty feet.

Paranoid dreamer, sprayed across that bridge Parallel to that lay the shrine for you, next to the empty road A cross to mark the spot Only closure my soul received, was creating felony Hallow holes left in my chest, filled with the deepest regret No goodbyes said Just leftover Christmas tree presents left, for you It's a mess since you've gone

Leftovers
We all have habits Hang ups we turn to when words fade from use When the touch of another feels false And the skin that you're in feels ill-fitting and loose Of addictions we choose, are you the user or the used? Light-headed from smoking far too many cigarettes But it's better than the spins I get when your name is said Her toxicity is met with one of my own Eroding with every upturned stone To find a reason to use the air in my lungs to talk to her Instead of fill them up with smoke But I don't. Returning burning bile from drinking far too many drinks But it's better than the taste of blood from getting hit in the face A father who longs for the respect of fear Maybe he hits you because he hates himself And he sees in you the colour of his eyes or the curl of his hair Or maybe he just does it because it's easier to hurt than to love The same way you drink because it's easier to be drunk than to forgive. So **** anyone who does anything to keep you from being able to live But try to forgive Not for them, but for you, to begin to heal these wounds Because your peace of mind was not built for two Live while they rue.

Forgive
I see the lies Like the scent of stale cigarettes, that still lingers on your clothes hours after the smoke has faded I see the lies The way your affection is shown distant warmth distant mind I see the lies The way you divert your eyes away denying truth I see the lies Within your arms Within your heart
