F/South Africa Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes. -unknown
Every now and again when I am numb and it's as if I'm not able to live. I can always count on that sharp shooting pain and my period cramps To remimd me that I'm still alive.

Period
Your eyes say a lot, But your eyes give me a certain look. Your eyes give her and him the very same look . I see you with a lot of girls But some how I believe that I'm still special. I've got a hunch you make everyone else feel "special". I don't want to believe it But I can't help myself believe that you and I truly may have something going on. As I write this poem about you, I think about the moment we first met To the last time I saw you Where you placed a soft kiss on my forehead. A kiss so sweet. Enough to make me believe that you and I are an item. But then again I'm frightend By what people may perceive me to be. As you have many admirers One being someone I'm close to Who has no clue That I have such feelings for you.

You
Blood red, My adolescent friend. I've had to accept that You'll always be an unwelcomed visitor. Knocking at my door at the end of each month. My body starts to ache upon your arrival. Obviously Blood Red I can't Be a tyrant every time you knock at my door. Sometimes I'm even sweeter than most days. You wouldn't even tell that I have an unwanted guest. When you're around I can't help but to have the urge to stay in bed. Your presence expands my appetite and palette. Your presence tests my patience. Your presence builds up insecurities when I'm in my favourite finely pressed white dress. Blood red, you old friend I've had to accept that You'll always be an unwelcomed visitor. Knocking at my door at the end of each month.

Blood Red
I know I'm not stupid But I can't help to think that I am stupid. But even if so I don't have an excuse Let's just say the lift hasn't been reaching the top floor lately. If only I had someone to confine in. Even those that call me friend turn their backs and laugh, they whisper all the things that make me insecure and smile about it. I've decided to drop people in my life If you give me a negative vibe Vanish out of my life You'll be the person I warn people about. Like I said I know I'm not stupid and I should be doing better But I don't even have an excuse for myself It's like there is a barricade stopping me from reaching my full potential. The only thing that I can say is I'm clearly not the brightest star that lights up the night.

Cognitive dissonance
Easy so they say I left a challenge behind It was purposeless.

Ineffectual Decision
What is it I'm not doing right? because lately my life has just been filled  with disapointments. Maybe I expect to much from people... Maybe I expect to much from myself. I just can't seem to get anything right,literally everthing in my assignment is wrong. I hardly speak when I am lost. This cannot be me living my best life when I feel like such a loser in the game of life. Maybe I don't try hard enough. I just don't know what it is that I am not doing right. Is it because of the person I was a few years ago: judgemental,selfish,self absorbed and a humble brag. I just can't put my finger on what I'm not doing right.

What I'm not doing right
There it is. The sparkle in your eyes when you look into mine, The delicate touch of your soft lips against mine. There it is! that priceless smirk when our eyes lock in a crowded room. Your warms hugs when our bodies interlock. There it is , that sound. The tick tock from the clock, endless hours spent with you. There it is my time delibrately given up for you.

There it is
True feelings hidden Artificial confidence nobody sees it.

I've fallen of the band wagon. It's time to face reality I've gotta find vitality How can I not succumb, When this battle has left me numb?

Battle To Find Peace
Looking at you from a distance I admire the beauty that you are I stare at this amazing human being It is from a distance,   I gaze and wish If only this human being and I were even merely acquainted. But sadly from a distance is as close as I'll get to being acquainted.
