why
do i keep
thinking
about you?

why
do i keep
imagining
the impossible?

why
do i keep
wanting
you?

why
do i keep
hurting myself
with
false hope?

Happy without me
Maybe laughing with new girl
Or smiling alone
He loves me not..
I am forgetting about you..
Your smile has gone away..
No longer written on your face for me to see everyday..
Its getting easier for me day to day..

I am forgetting about you..
Saved memories emerge from time to time..
They are full of colors of you and are easy to find..
But are fading away to darkness as if I were blind..

I am forgetting about you..
No more haunting smiles in dreams..
No more deep brown angelic eyes that made my soul scream..
Because I couldn't have you in my arms under the sunbeams..

I am forgetting about you..
That part of me is dying..
That part of me walked under the moonlight and was crying..
But there you were in the clear night sky simply shining..

I wonder if I will forget about you..
I think that part of me will not die..
I think that part of me will stay alive..
Nothing left for me but endless goodbyes..
They said
    I make the most stupid choices
from choosing alcohol over books
    and cigarettes over gum.

Dropping grades
while raising my voice
 towards my mom for nagging 24/7
     You question yourself
to the point
your friend's room
     has been more of a home
than the hands of who raised you

But the world ain't fair
         when you were made
from your father's fake promises
   that made your mother's heart
colder than the beer she held.

I was called by many names
  from being the most stupid
to being the most hated
  
              But God I loved it
        when you called me yours
The right woman will always be there for you
Neither being you nor being me is easy,
We all wanna be somebody,
The thing between you and me?
Is simple as can be..
You impress with your body
And I express with my poetry..
We are all different but still equal,
And what protects this equality,
Is humanity..
No one is superior,
And no one is inferior,
As far as you gonna respect the others, you will be respected
she plays with
the word knife

makes it a girl

makes it cut
the others words

straight cuts
clean cuts

makes them bleed
their ink

down the paper

changes their
meaning

so they make
no sense

so she is the
only word you

can recognize

"I went viral in 2020."

But there was no fame that I had gained.
Inspired off of a quote I saw that said "I went viral in 2020".
In the day and age now of memes,  I know it was made for laughs,
but it left me more contemplative than I suppose, and I figured I would put the reality into it, having lost two friends of mine to this.

Stay safe, you are in my prayers.
