American "There are invisible chains constricting my voice. However only you can decide if you want to listen or not."
“You are ugly,” an ugly comment posted by an ugly man I know “You won’t get married, alas” The ugliness deep in his heart must be greater than mine I know I continue to type on my keyboard, not responding to the man at all. Simply ignoring his presence as a stranger is insignificant to me “You will be single for your whole life” I know I rather people love me for my personality and all of my ***** flaws The rain continues to platter in the background, cleansing the ugliness Such as god have once promised to cleanse the earth by drowning us in the great flood The ***** emotion in my heart lightened And I resume my day without the stain of ugliness

Ugliness
Like the flow that is time I'm drifting like a leaf floating on the cool waters Torn from the branches where I originated Other leaves floating to their destination The chlorophyll breaking down the colors of green pigments Slowly wilting away internally The surface turning brittle and shatter at one's grasp Lying there until the start of rebirth Once again, the cradles reveal a new identity The branches supporting the developing life Transporting basic necessities of life Until the cycle begin once again and the leaf starts to drift away

Drifting
You start your journey, the moment the world became your cradle Experience the possibilities of many opportunities The cards have yet to determine your precise future Can't you hear the chuckling of amusement Your bonds will create an sense of connection The strings tangles when dealt with confusion Are you able to turn zero into one The dog following close behind whispering when you might fall "Your dreams move you forward." -Reverse- That dog is no longer able to whisper guidance as it's truly free Your dreams no longer blind your perspective However you remain there, not moving Unable to accomplish your desires but able to achieve success

Fool
I love... I hate.... I like.... I loathe.... Two complete opposites on this scale of human emotions What lies in between Is it acceptance or tolerance What better person to ask than one's self When those shades meld, what color is formed Love is often the passionate red While hate is the unapproachable intimidation of black Is it the same as the mother earth or the same liquid that flow in our arteries I still don't understand these feelings that I feel for you I hope that perhaps as I get to know you My vision clarity will be unblurred That it will become more vivid as I notice more than monochrome nor the neutrality of angry red

Love/Hate Spectrum
I don't desire to share my opinions with anyone Too long, have they been bashed upon by peers or anonymous figures "You should respect their opinion." What hypocrites, even opinions could be wrong and hurt others "For the sake of arguing." It doesn't matter if they humiliate someone. It doesn't matter if they turn others against them. It doesn't matter if they were wrong as well Even if you understand their perspective, they refuse to see yours I long to be mute I hate my own speaking voice If all my words are unheard "I can't express myself, this secretive awkward human." If only they knew of the true cynical and diabolical thoughts locked away Would anyone bother to accept and understand Or would I be shunned Isolated like I had been since so long ago I don't mind singing The rhythm and flow much better to the accented jumble words However I'm merely a ghost that no one notice when they have stars to illuminate the room "Ahhhh.. The jealousy and bitterness will consume me." "Please see me." "Please acknowledge me." "Please talk to me." "Please hear me." *I'm fading away.*

Unheard
It hurts when you're forgotten by someone you care for That you remember them and all that they did for you You spend there waiting Only for time to pass and the pain to dull Meeting new friends and experiencing new things Only for them to possibly forget you too You're honestly prepared for that day but until then, you live in the now Do my voice reaches your ear? Do my word have any meaning? Do I mean anything to you? I'll wait for your answer as I wait for you to remember me

I remember you
The many different shades and variety of colors envelop my entire world Through I also can't help but see in monochrome The palette where I mix the possibilities Each are beautiful in it's own way Adding to the depth and richness Art is beauty to the beholder   Every detail, every shape, every color, every thoughts or feeling put into it I hope that people would envision what I have experienced and seen Red's passion, yellow's brightness, blue's coolness, green's gentleness, orange's energy, white's purity, black's shades, pink's affection, purple's dignity, gray's neutrality. So beautiful to my fading sight Let me liven up this boring world Full of routines and a cage Dying the world In my messed up mind Let the creativity unleash itself
