I think I lied when I said I've moved on when I dated someone new when I let them leave and my heart didn't even have a clue if I still loved you could we work again? I tried, yet I can't see myself with anyone anyone again I think I lied when I said I hated you when I still want you to know that I'm happy with or without you that I'm happy if I still loved you could I learn your name? I tried last time but I couldn't read your eyes eyes, eyes I think I lied when I said I've moved on when I rewrote a letter justifying my hesitancy the emotions I still have and the way I'd let you kiss me I think I lied when I said I hated you sure, you hurt me, but I hurt you too, and walls can be rebuilt even if the city burnt down for a good reason I think I've lied since you handed me that calculator since I hesitated to answer since you met me in the library since I let you walk away with my heart since I still love you it would feel like a crime if we tried, if I asked you this time, again and again I think you lied when you looked away when I passed you in the halls avoiding me for reasons I guess I could never know

They said friends dont last Because the word ends with end And i thought- Language can’t predict love I thought we were bigger than syllables Until you left Without a sound loud enough For me to brace myself One day we were permanent The next You lived only in memory I turn myself over in my hands Looking for the crack The moment i becme too much Or not enough. I know i wasnt perfect But i was there Even tho i was unraveling I thought that counted. I cried the other day Not for drama Not for pity Just grief spilling quietly From a heart that keeps choosing people I keep finding almost-friends Who need me Until they don’t. I pour And pour Until i am empty And somehow Hats when everyone leaves I show up when i can I disappear when im breaking Isn’t that what trust is for I make plans That dissolve Messages that never come back While your life keeps moving Without me in it I dont need to be chosen first I just need to be told the truth It hurt So yes I cry Because caring hurts more When you pretend it doesn’t. Sometimes i wonder If something is wrong wiht me If wanting something wholesome Is asking for too much If the only real friendship I was meant to have Already ended Maybe being alone Is safer Than loving people Who dont stay Still- I hope Because somewhere There has to be someone Who doesn’t leave When im human A friendship That doesn’t end Just because the world does….

Haikyu
What is a god that nobody prays to? Is he a man? What makes a god our god is it belief or is it reality Do angels watch and protect or dance in the skies Do demons pray and try to **** or religion Are sins human mistake or choice Are praise something we deserve for one thing when we do so wrong How can one being save when there is billions to save Why are people broke and why do people starve How come this god lets people be killed by others We pray to a man we know nothing about except what a book written by man says We belief because of other people and because people want an idea of savior We ask to be loved but we dont care to hate We ask to fix our problems and we forget about the others… dead… dying So what am i worth to a man when i do no good So what does that mean for the people who starve and get killed What do we all mean… To our lord savior and king. To a being called god what do we mean

God
See, the thing about a pedestal is that it’s just a grave built high enough for everyone to watch. We spend our youth auditioning for roles we never asked to play, wearing a costume made of "maybe" and "if only I were." We treat our lives like a rough draft being edited by people who don’t even know how to spell our names. Expectation is a landlord who charges rent for a room you aren’t allowed to live in. It’s a heavy coat in the middle of a July heatwave, and we keep it buttoned up to the chin because we were told that shivering is a sign of weakness. But listen: You cannot bloom if you are too busy trying to be a sidewalk. You cannot breathe if your lungs are full of everyone else’s exhales. We are dying in increments. We are suffocating under the weight of "should have." We are ghosts haunting the people we were supposed to become, forgetting that the person standing right here is the only one who actually has a heartbeat. Put down the script. The audience is going to leave anyway. Stop trying to be a masterpiece for people who don't even look at the art.

Expextations
They handed you a suit before you knew your size They drew a map of a city you never wanted to visit, and told you to start walking And you did Because that’s what we do We carry the "well-done," the "not-enough," and the "what-will-they-think" until our spines start to curve under the gravity of ghosts It’s a quiet kind of ending No sirens. No glass Just the sound of a person polishing a mask until the face underneath simply... fades We spend our whole lives trying to be the version of us that lives in someone else's head And the tragedy isn’t that we fail The tragedy is that we succeed, only to realize we’ve been attending a funeral for ourselves the entire time

Fear
A dog is a man’s best friend Sometimes a dog is dumb and likes to pretend A big dog will try to be small A small Dog will act tall Some dogs make you laugh and call stupid Other dogs seem to make you turn cupid Loving dog are great Protective dogs will be your best mate A dog will talk and talk Trying to annoy you until you take them on a walk A dog will smile A dog will dress in good style All Just for a a little piece of your meal And if you make a  bad deal he will steal your meal The life of having a dog

Dog Life
Today is the football day For Cambian It is Game day Just like other thursday When he puts his pads on and gets ready to play Today is the most important day for his chance to spot to stay He Goes to the field lining up with his team Looking at the other team he sees the guy he surely will bean tap for he is cambian he runs his route 2 up 2 right 5 up 5 left then the ball comes flying high he jumps and catches the ball from the sky When he lands his team cheers and cheers goodbye for the other team has lost their chance and that's not a lie he goes off the field that night with a sigh he says to himself, this is what i have to do This is my chance to be great and to follow my dreams and i will continue to do this everyday even if it hurts even when he doesn't enjoy it he says it's what he must do is what he says to the guy in the sky goodnight

Game Day Today
How come people laugh when they wanna cry tell me why people choose to leave and never to say goodbye How come people choose to lie How come people say they pray everyday The they sin and pretend that is all okay You may pray everyday for people to stay and when they leave you blame yourself and ask what you did That pain will be drilled into your brain everyday But when you are with others you laugh and pretend not to cry under closed covers Every night you ask the sky You pray for answer, for someone to tell you why And one day the sky will tell you not to cry He will tell you to keep digging to find the gold mine but when you open your eyes and look around you relize you already have Your family is here The ones who love you are you family not the ones who are by blood That is what it means to be loved Remember to say thank you for what you have and not to look and cry about what you don't
