why is it always raining on me?
All I want is to see that rainbow.
Rain after rain. Waves after waves.
They are taking me under.

Why is it always dark?
All I want to see is the end of tunnel.
Wandering, looking for that ray of hope.
I'm calling out, fears pull me down.

Every moment I'm starting to believe,
I'm not broken, I'll keep hoping.
It took everything for me to see,
that my life’s not ending.

*This pain will make stronger.
I have to hold on a little bit longer.

Crouched in a bath
in a house in my hometown.
5AM and the moon's out.
Kevin hands me a rolled up bank note,
and tells me I'm innocent
all in one breath.

There's blood on my hands,
rolling down my wrist.
Big, fat, poppy teardrops
blooming like the cherry trees
in my university.
Home is a funny thing.

I'm not a cool kid.
Just a drugged up, loved up,
half pretty girl with a good brain.
Mad
after the wrong people
in love with every
broken soul.

I'm just chasing dreams
and welded differentials,
the car turns and screams.
One hand on the steering wheel
and one on my thigh -
can't you just need me for a weekend?
Can't you just
sigh your little promises
and chew my ear?
when i look at her, i feel worthless
i wanna cry
i feel like im nothing
i feel empty
i feel nothing inside
i feel lost
but when i look away
i break into more pieces
i cry
i go home and all i do is cry
then paint and beautiful pictures all over my body
seeing her kills me
i cant take it anymore
i just want to stop breathing and make all this pain go away
when i look at myself i feel......
fat
worthless
ugly
a  nobody
unneeded
stupid
i feel like i have no  reason  to  be  *here
Tell me a story.
Fingers, tongue, lips, eyes, gasps, grins.
No words required.

I used to judge love
By the words I was told.

But people deceive with their tongues.

I tried to judge love
By the way I was treated.

But people deceive with their actions as well.

So how should one judge love?

It's simple: you don't.

You just love with all your heart, mind, body and soul.
You hold on for the ride,
And hope against all hope

*That this time will be different.
P.S. It wasn't.

I don't want to count
The calories anymore.

I just want to write a poem no one ever thought of writing
It must have the same effects as walking on the moon
It must trend faster than a meteor as it  hurdles through cyber space

I refused to love any man, who dislikes my poetry,
My man must support my passion ..
not only the warmth of my body
but the passion within this poetess, my secretive mind he must be able to balance:
Without wondering why a woman like me is so naturally secretive
I am always embracing the dark side of my creativity
Dropping little hints here and there throughout the years,

Sidney   J. Harris once said something that left pondering thoughts
He said “When he hears somebody sighs,
'Life is hard,' he’s always tempted to ask them, 'Compared to what?'
I would simply say dog-gone it: Compared to struggling poets whose tries to make a living as a writer

While an upcoming rapper like Chief Keef
signed a several-million dollar deal
with offending lyrics in today music industries:

I just want to write a poem no one ever thought of writing,
With lots of intense emotion bursting through each line:
Because a poem can’t exist without a poet's multiple voices
and most of all his divine missions

What's a diamond ring to a heart that calls you queen?
Your lips transpire peace
Your hips transpire cease
Your eyes inquire me
Your thoughts inspire me..

God, your thoughts inspire me..

To run
To fly
To laugh
To cry
To live
To die
To live
To die

I don't want to die..
I really, don't want to die..

Strike me with Zeus's bolt and pause my youth in time
So that I may capture your giggles on a Polaroid as if the moment was mine & hold each copy in my hands until that asteroid ends us

Ends this

Relentless have I been in my pursuit of happiness
Considerate have I been in my issue of love







My eyes are as heavy as your hands when it's time for me to go

No
You say no
Just stay

& I row myself down my intentions into a dimension in which I submit to the suspensions I promised my conscience before I even got to this point

Reminiscing is so dangerous
I finally see the pain in lust
Parallel to the pain in trust
We should ask Adam & Eve to take a train with us as we listen to them tell stories of love
Or God's face

You know...

Things that would cause a brain to bust
Turn a frame to dust  

Let's make history by making mutuality iconic

God, let's make love iconic





When I think about how to cultivate your face into words I don't think about articulating the right adjectives and verbs

But I do close my eyes and picture what went through my head the first time I heard my parent's wedding song

"Always & forever.. Each moment with you."

& immediately, immediately I fear being alone

& alone just translates to without you

& there's nothing wrong with me fearing a future without you because all I seem to do is think about it when I think about you

That's why every line about you ends up eluding to my past because thanks to you, even my most sacred thoughts get to last

I glue your name to my ceiling in hopes for all of God's favor and healing to hit you before it hits me

God gets me




What's a diamond ring to a heart that calls you queen?
To a throne covered in love with rose petals at your feet?
To a chandelier made out of my admiration
What about harps that play your name?
Or a prayer every night and a kiss every morning to remind you that this love will never change
My Drill said,
"Jump soldier."
I asked him,
"Why &
how high
Sergeant?"
He said,
"That doesn't matter boy,
yours is to do,
not to ssk why,
just die."
