Scared

I'm scared.
Scared of failing.
Scared of losing.
Scared of feeling pain.
Scared of emotions.
Scared of love.
Scared of everything.
But no one knows.
Because that's the thing
About being scared.
Only the people that are scared
can see it.

Toxic yeti
Gothic dandelions
White perfect
Spheres
Of seeds
Contrast the black
Background of the night
How I wish I can take a picture.

Most people don't know what love is
I do.
It's when you're sad and someone is there for you
Can hold you
Can kiss you
Can tell you that everything is alright
Can say that you're pretty
That you matter
In this world of hate
and judgment.
Its when someone can be there for you.
Can support you
Can encourage you.
But it has its downsides.
Like when its used only to get another kiss
Only to touch you
When you don't want to be touched
Only to make you think that you matter
Just to find out
It was all a lie.
Trapped in these chains where ever I go
even with the key I am not truly free.

I feel like an animal in a cage,
everywhere I go it feels the same.

My brain disagrees but my heart agrees,
that I am a women in a man's world.
Red
Red is the rose
and the polish on my toes

Red is the kiss on my cheek
and my dress– truly chic

Red is also blood
and bodies in the mud

Red is red
Love and dead.
...
I am not violent.
I am not mischievous.
I am what they made me, a weapon.
I am a result.
Yet, they had the nerve to tell me to find peace.

I live,
Therefore I love.

I love,
Therefore I hurt.

I hurt,
Therefore I can die.

I will die,
Therefore I must live.
My heart;
I fooled it,
Protected it,
Deep in me,
From love.
To not heed about it.
But then...
I was tricked.
And my heart jumped;
Lifted in a flight;
To the mirage-hope,
To be loved  back.
The flight was high,
And when pulled back
By the extreme gravity,
Fallen and hurt,
From truth,
With an Unsoundable dud.
My heart said-
"Hey you! That was 
Just a stunt. And I'm fine."
But it weep and bleed,
And seep in words.
And maybe poetry.
Yet it says-
"Hey you! It's just
My experimental words.
You know me
Nothing relates me. "

Blue is you.
It’s the color of your eyes.
It’s the color of the Pepsi can
That was always in your hand.
It’s the color of your dickies
That you always wore.
It’s the color of you.
Blue is you.
It’s the love you
Gave to your family.
It’s the generosity you
Gave to everyone you ever met.
It’s the kindness
That was in your heart.
Blue is you.
It’s the pack of cigarettes
That lived in your pocket.
It’s the money
That lived with your cigarettes.
It’s Walker, Texas Ranger
That you watched religiously.
Blue is you.
It’s the memories
I’ll carry with me forever.
It’s your rare smile
I'll always see when I think of you.
It’s your hugs and kisses
I’ll always cherish.
Blue is you.
Forever and ever.
Brain, brain go away
Don't want to listen one more day
Already lonely and afraid
Feel insecure and full of shame

Brain, brain don't act this way
You're always angry; Filled with hate
You know we're joined; Can't separate
Yourself your punching in the face

Brain, brain what can I say
To make it so you see things straight
Don't know how much more I can take
Of constant warring and debate

Brain, brain it's getting late
This journey's not some endless race
Life's flying by and at this pace
Forget a win; Not gonna place

Brain, brain let's medicate
I'll feed you drugs and we'll sedate
The only way to mitigate
Discrepancies we generate

Brain, brain we sadly waste
This outcome feels like it was fate
But never was there a sealed date
Fulfilling what we self-create

Brain, brain so much we faced
Success so close could almost taste
Instead our tail we always chased
We'll die alone sad and disgraced
