South African _Words are Spirits Wrapped in Sound_ / / Walking parody... / Dreamer... / World changer... / Carpe diem_er... lol
you are a horse running alone and he tries to tame you compares you to an impossible highwayto a burning housesays you are blinding him that he could never leave you forget you want anything but you you dizzy him, you are unbearableevery woman before or after you is doused in your name you fill his mouth his teeth ache with memory of taste his body just a long shadow seeking yours but you are always too intense frightening in the way you want him unashamed and sacrificial he tells you that no man can live up to the one who lives in your head and you tried to change didn't you? closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettierless volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do love Split his head open?you can't make homes out of human beings Someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love....

"for women who are 'difficult' to love."Warsan Shire
As i Lay here in my spot In the hole of hell With thoughts so in heavenly I ponder.... Do you ponder what I ponder Do appreciate the sun on your skin as much as the people that hate being all day in the sun Toiling.....burning their skin Just to have a spot to lay In the hole of hell ... ?

Do you ponder
It is cruel to love the pieces of this world With all the pieces of you That fit Into its existence and yours..... But flow into mediocrity

Cruel
It is something I appreciate most Toodlers feeling grass on their **** feet Ice cream dripping People of all kinds Bilingualism always caught my attention Caution ... Its all so precious Lets take a kodak For we do not know when we will share something so rare again Grass as green as the algae on the deepest side of the sea Sun so harsh as the truth we all hiding And the closeness of the secrets that hold us together My second most valued possession In my hands There it waited To capture something so rare Exactly so I could look back recall every detail as is Because it is a Beautiful Life ♥

Beautiful Life ♥
6years later My mind calls it illusions I think it's because we lacked Kodak moments But how do you create a moment You never had the time I wasnt used to spending mine with you Yet you have created a void I miss you I convinced myself that we have had moments Although everything you had left Faded The void has taken over It has created moments Non existing ones I miss you The Void will never fill We never had those moments Memory missing My love for you will never fade

faded
We are not our darkest nights Instead We are the mornings after When you wake with a hangover From the weight of negative intrusion Upon your delicate timeline of life But press on nonetheless Instead We are the days in between When all the pieces feel unbroken And we are able to dance in the sunset We are the moments when we Allow ourselves to be our potential

Our generation will be known for nothing Never will anybody say We were the peak of mankind That is wrong the truth is Our generation was a failure. Thinking that We actually succeeded Is a waste , now we know Living only for money and power Is the way to go Being loving respectful and kind Is a dumb thing to do Forgetting about that time Will not be that easy but we will try Changing our world will not be easy Is something we never did Giving up Was how we handled or problems Working hard Was a joke We knew that People thought we couldn't come back That might be true...

__Our Generation__ (read the note)
The stars are so bright against this black velvet sky The city a world away its dim a distant memory I lie down on the sand & feel the earth breathe

Distant Memory
I have a heartless soul It all came together when you turned on me so cold Gave you everything I had, everything I have you, you stole I've finished recuperating from the pain However the past is a history lesson I learnt I'll never be the same Anger you see through my eyes My heart burnt I was tied in the sky You were a stain that wouldn't wash off Love I gave you was despised Stabbed me in the back You cut through my heart Gave me a heart attack Came back to make sure you finished the job all the way through My best I tried I was tied in the sky....... Left me all alone at night Destroyed me You became a vandal Left me without preamble Wasn't capable to occupy the state of being all alone in my mind It was my life But my cloudy eyes cleared up My hands untied And I realized Theres Millons of others You're just one......

Tied in the sky
The words I should've said the tears I should've shed the wounds that should've bled locked deep inside my chest in a box labeled regret
