A Perfect Match

People always talk about being a perfect match
But nobody ever talks about how abruptly matches burn out

Confliction

Confliction

In silence I suffer, drowning.
Losing the fight, falling.
~
On the surface, calm.
To everyone else, happy.
~
Beneath it all, hurting.
They know I'm lying, breaking.
~
I want you to see I'm okay, even if I'm not.
That way things'll be better, even if they're not.
~
Convince myself over and over, even if I don't believe it.
Tell myself everything will work out fine, even if I don't believe it.
~
I'm fine, no I'm not
I'm happy, no I'm not
I'm grateful, no I'm not
~
I don't accept this, yes you do
I hate you for this, no you don't
I don't blame myself**, *yes you do

*I do not know anymore, only when I think about how I am okay, do I stop feeling okay. Perhaps I need to just not think about it at all*

Outer Lies

Outer Lies

What do you see when you look at me?

More than likely, you see me with a smile on my face, and laughter escaping from my lips.

But have you ever wondered,
what is behind the smile.
If that smile is genuine, and real?
Is that laughter real, or does it sound a little forced to you?
Have you ever looked at or into my eyes when I smile?

If you did, you would see that my smile,
does not reach my eyes.

Instead of happiness, you'll see a flash of my pain.

For I am unable to place a mask over my eyes,

no matter how hard I try.

No one can truly hide their real feelings,

can't keep them from slipping through their eyes.

When you look at someone, for a second you are

able to see their true feelings before their wall goes up.

Careful you must be, when observing the outer emotions

of someone.

4 am

Here I am
Lying wide awake
It’s 4 am, the moon is up and so is my mind...overwhelmed with lost thoughts, visions, and daydreams
What has become of me?
Am I where I’m supposed to be or have I not found it quite yet?
I find myself wondering what the future holds, but I am scared.
I am alone, on my own.
Am I who I am supposed to be or is there room for growth?
The night is lonely but I hear my thoughts swirling around my head.
Oh the endless possibilities....
I..can achieve ANYTHING.
Just watch me.

Don't Make Me Wake Up

Don't Make Me Wake Up

The candle wax is dripping on the floor. I'm fast asleep on the hardwood, a towel for a blanket, wandering the stories my mind creates.

It's so much better there, in my dreams, much more comforting and whimsical. I can create my safest place, my very own home.

I can wander all over the world for free, touch the greatest wonders and experience culture like no other. I can learn anything without paying a dime or sitting in a classroom. I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin or the cool rain kiss my cheeks as I look to the sky. I can be anything, dare I even say ... happy.

I am trapped in a magical world and I never want to leave.

Please don't make me leave.

I don't want to wake up. I don't want to face the dark and the cold. Because when I wake, those candles will be out and my towel will be just a towel.

Here I am warm, I am free, I am strong. Here I can be anything, do anything, feel anything.

Please don't make me wake up.

Please.

Shading her shadow

Shading her shadow

Her shadow is all what he saw
and he drew her
shading her beautiful body
with a body paint.
Serpentine curves
towards her abdomen
with a brownish touch.
Reminded me
of those beautiful colombian rivers,
with brown sand and silt
having those beautiful curves
less those tiny gorges.
Her wavering hair
like those short tributaries
in directions, south west.
Nearing her chest
reminded me
of those shady trees,
slanting slightly into.
Depth of this breath taking art
gave me a sudden eagerness
to meet this divine soul.
Her eyelashes here
like tiny dark blue fishes
seen unmoving on these clear
slow moving river waters.
Mesmerizing indeed
so did this charming eternal beauty.
A shadow is all what he wanted.
Gracious artistic! Awakened here.
Might have seemed inescapable
to her shadow even.
O! divine woman!

Dad

Dad,
What do I do?
You can't be proud of me
for sleeping with a man
who acts like a boy and
doesn't treat me like I am
perfect even though I'm not.
I mean, down here on earth, we are definitely
not angels even though I know you
would treat me like one.
We are human.
We cannot love perfectly,
but aren't we supposed to try?
I know you would tell me that he is the one
who is missing out.
And it’s quiet, but I can hear you say, everything will be better than okay someday,
but it's just not the same.
But I am human. I am selfish.
He calls my name
and I run back to him.
You can't be happy with me
for feeling like I need someone
who doesn't cherish my soul.
I wish you were here.
I wish my questions turned into answers, but it's not that easy.
It's not that easy without you here,
Dad.
