Sleeping beauty, I'm a mess. Asleep by my side. You just shut your eyes. Dreaming about a life, which hopefully includes mine. Peaceful and alive, you feed my pride. I wish you were mine; though I know it's a wish never to be granted, I'll keep in mind, the pain that your "past" did. The look on your face as you continue sleeping has me worried. Why does it seem like you're hurting, in a place where you shouldn't feel deserted? You pull up close to me, yet you feel so distant. What do I gotta do to make you feel existent? Sleeping Beauty, you wreck me. Asleep by my side. You just opened your eyes.

Sleeping Beauty
What should you do when even smiling becomes overrated; when feelings are history, and emotions are mysteries? What should you do when you've loved, and lost, but the pain created by loss, over mastered the love you've received? What should you do when all you wanna be is yourself, but society declares that girls should look like Barbies and guys should be like Superman? What should you do when you want to have a face-to-face conversation, but your inner-circle is too busy scrolling down the outer-circle's timeline.? What should you do when all you want is unity, but racism is ascending faster than a race car on its last lap? What should you do when you're scared of what tomorrow holds, because of the results and actions of our generation being obsessed with saying "YOLO"? What should you do when you have everything you've ever wanted, except happiness? What should you do when you want to live, but all that there's left to do is survive?

What should I do?
Who needs dreams, when you have your thoughts? Who needs a good image, when you can just take shots? Not just the tequila, or alcohol in general but also drugs, or bullets.. that could lead to your funeral.

me lately.
There is a child walking on the street, by her own, begging for something to eat. Hundreds are passing by daily, none paying attention to her, all ignoring little Bailey. After a long day of begging and pleading, she lays down in her cardboard mansion, which is not even near pleasing. Hours go by as she thinks about her life, no family, no friends, not even some place she could rent. What does it mean To be loved? No parents, no siblings; is there really someone above? She wonders why she had been the one left alone, seven years, with no one to hold. Love..does it exist? Maybe in a husband, a pet, or a kid. ''But who would accept me like this?'' No foster family, no orphanage; I'm just a Misfit.

What does it mean "To Be Loved"?
I really just want to cry, Just let it all out. I don't know why I feel this filled with doubt. I'm kind of done And I no longer see the fun In prolonging this pain. There's nothing I could do.. I just can't keep sane. And As I look around, I see smiles, Hear laughs which makes me wonder... How these people can live without breaking a sweat. It's pretty inspiring they can stay This strong ... I used to be strong, But then I grew weak And ended up doing the wrong That shan't be speaked. Since then I have started to pray Every single day for his help To get me through this horrid phase. But...I guess I don't pray hard enough Or Have a big enough faith. So... The reality,I assume,is I'm forever lost in this place.

Lost
Some people have an IT that they must face A beast ahead or demon on the shoulder For them the IT is writ in upper case. I fear that many men hide every trace Of tears and self in masks appearing bolder Some people have an IT that they must face And those who gaze transfixed at the sheer pace Of life's descent to dust, to rust and moulder, For them the IT is writ in upper case. My beauty meets her monsters every place. And though I'm often there to hug and hold her My darling has an IT that she must face She battles them with discipline and grace And lives by dint of detail, file and folder Each labelled by an IT in upper case. Though time will always catch us in the chase It's fear of living true that turns us colder Some people have an IT that they must face For them the IT is writ in upper case.

IT - (villanelle)
Shallow breaths, tight chest, blurry vision, No rest. Tied up by my thoughts: make it stop... ‘give it all you’ve got.’ Head spinning, hope dwindling. Skin burning, bones chilling. Drowning in air a sinking ship; dying of thirst, and I don’t get a drip. Surrounded by an ocean and I can’t see anything. I can’t hear for the life of me. **This feeling I swear is killing  me.** Whispering: “give in don’t get up stay home you’re not enough. Even if there’s nothing wrong: walk out the door and harm will come” This ubiquitous feeling draping over me, enveloping everything, wet, and weighted... bet you’ve never hated someone so much you’d stab them in the chest and without a moments rest grab them at the throat so tight they can’t whisper a note and leave them wondering if they’ve even given their best after their whole self feels negated. **This hate,   this punishment  or something, draped over me so viciously is known as: Anxiety.**
