I dreamt today I was back to where I was.
I let someone control me once again when ties are severed.
I saw my attempts at success and how they all have failed so far.

Worst of all,
I saw myself hurting my children and just being okay with it.


I know it's just a dream,
But the idea of being there again...
Made me force myself awake


Either way, I'm glad it was just a dream
And maybe, just maybe, this path is the right one
I hate you......
Actually, I really don't....

I just hate how you were able to leave so easily
How you flew away without a second thought
While I hit concrete walls

Sometimes, I wonder how you are
If you really got that far
Will I be able to do the same?
Or am I stuck with this ball and chain?

Soon, my house will be one bigger
One more mouth to feed
And more money to the fitter

The more it grows, the more I worry
That I won't give them
A life that's worthy of living
What happened to society?
Where greed takes priority?
Self becomes the whole
Instead of the ones with no homes

Follow up with a job
Suddenly, they don't even know who you are
But yet will slam the hammer down
"I'm sorry, but we're going a different direction"

So close, yet so far
Like a line on the hook
Shaking the stick with a sinister look

Forget the people,
Provide for the rich
Let people die
While we dig the ditch
The world is a joke
No worries, it's lost hope
A sting and stain
With nothing to gain

While the stupid laugh and play
Not a single cent to pay
The good and honest suffer
Hey guys, I'm going to post a few works I haven't released yet because I wanted to work on them. However, when I write things, sometimes my motivation to rewrite or edit goes out the window. If they change in time, they will, if they don't, they don't. Thank you guys for supporting me and my writing
You're gone, yet I'm still haunted by your voice
It whispers to me at night, waking me from sleep.
Echoing of the promises I wished to keep

A chain I broke, yet the feeling of cuffs remain
On who is really to blame
The door is locked, yet you creep through
As if there's nothing I can do

I locked the windows, and all the pain
You slip through despite all my change
Sealed every crack, but your voice calls my name.

All of it gone, all the pain...
Yet here you are, still remains
F$&k parents,
I care about what they say
But this nonsense, please lead me astray.

You don't know what I am capable of!
Contrast and compare...
I'm here, not over there

"She gave me 6 babies"
Good for her 👏👏👏
Standing ovation!

I'm valuable, I'm good on my own
Don't need 6 ruining my home
She wants it, that's great!
But I'm in a different place, a different state
Can't you see my individuality?

I never understood
How I'm never "that good"
Can I not live? Can I not be?
Or must you run my life for me?
