Let's face it
I'm probably never, no I know I'll never
Have kids
But I know this much, I've seen a lot of things on social media that are making the ends of my hair split.
So from this spoken word I spit I'll give you a list of what I've learned in life not to do with kids.

1. Fear and respect are two different things, take time to connect And don't pry for information and they'll open up, it's a reward patience brings.

2. Someone once said your offspring are your own parents payback, learn their strengths and weaknesses and aid where they lack.

3. The greatest question among parents, does spanking really work?
It varies from child to child, so no one really knows on this earth.
However I will say that there's always such a thing as going too far.
If your child ends up in a hospital because of your tempestuous outburst, you deserve branding with a hot iron bar.

4. If your child has special needs, do your research and plant self confidence based seeds.

Well that's my list, did I miss anything out please add more,
Like I said, I'll probably never have kids, but you never know what life has in store
Disclaimer: I don't plan on having kids until the day epilepsy is permanently cured. I wrote this from an outsiders perspective

i look out of the
window, gazing
at the blue sky,
searching for
something.

something that
would make me
happy, complete.

something that
would help me
from this place.

something..
or rather,
someone.

someone who
would stay by
my side, when
i need it.

someone who
would say the
right things at
the right time.

someone who
would make me
laugh when i am
feeling down.

i need someone
to make me feel
whole again.

whole once more.
I gave up on "real love" long ago
Amid all of the emotional pain
I realized "who am I kidding?"
It's over before it even began.

I watch as it suffocates for one last time,
This heart of mine still beating slowly,
Laying on the ground, before it loses
Every last ounce of hope I've ever found.
When I first showed interest in you
you told me to find someone better
You told me you would end up breaking my heart
and that you could not stand the image of me crying
I didn't understand
You were such a gentleman
You told me yourself that you have never been in a relationship
so how could you know what type of boyfriend you would be
I knew you were keeping a secret
The way you acted sent off signs
After months of being your friend
you finally told me your secret
You told me that you had cancer
You have had it for a year
The day we met was the same day
your doctor told you that you would pass away soon
You also told me that you have been in love with me
since the day you laid eyes on me
You wouldn't allow yourself to be with me
because you didn't think it was fair
to let me fall for someone who was going to die
That was not your choice to make
I loved you before I even knew you were sick
I fell for you even more through our friendship
and the fact that you were sick didn't change how I felt
I kissed you
I kissed you multiple times until you kissed me back
I was determined to make you see that I wasn't going anywhere
Your cancer didn't scare me

It is six months later now
You're confined to your bed
Your cancer has taken over your body
You can't even hold my hand without wincing
I just lay next to you
I'm not sure if I will look into your eyes tomorrow
yet I'm not scared
You have shown me that life will end for us all one day
so embracing the moments is mandatory
Getting lost in moments that won't ever come again is a must
I feel your hand on mine
You feel different
You feel at peace
I turn my head to look at you
You're staring right at me
You smile so perfectly
as God finally sets you free

Please no- not another love poem,
Not another repetitious unravelling of sentiment and revelation that
Yes-! You feel and you desire and you want
Just as much
As almost everyone else.

Not another love poem,
No more please,
I can't stand looking at them
And feeling this heart inside me
Grow hard and heavy, become a mountain
Of missing you,
Until I want to scream,
Until I want to
Wake up from this crazy thing.

And everyone else in the world just gets to
Keep writing love poems,
and why are you in every single one?
I will walk in front of you naked
Where naked means...


N-ot wearing make up
A-ll garments are locked
K-een eyesight may stare
E-very beauty that's not physically revealed
D-ecent woman of your dream
Acrostic at this time. Lol
~~¤~~

Oh, I fell in love again
With the man of golden heart
The man who made me cry
Those tears of hope and joy
I fell in love again...



With you!

~~¤~~
Everyday I Love You <3 <3 <3
