Not happy or sad
Not enraged or mad
Not confused or lost
More so incomplete & empty
& today I cried feeling like no one can feel me

Frustrated or irritated
i can’t seem to tell which one
but i broke down hard, it was one of those days
& even thru the silence, not a soul asked if i was okay

When our kisses make love under the moonlight
I get this sudden rush of a feeling that i can’t explain
the stars begin to light up as the vibes sing this melody
& for that short moment of time, i feel free from any danger

But it goes deeper than a kiss when i close my eyes
& i dream of a feeling that’s finally come true
of being lost in your presence plus I feel immortal whenever I’m with you
With my heart having no further reason to cry
it’s because of this feeling i get when I’m next to you

Is this the life you want?
Is this what you wanna settle for?
Are you happy? Are you sad?
Are you depressed? Are you mad?
You smile on the outside but are you smiling internally?
Are you willing to admit you’re not okay?
I know you’re sad but is it worth throwing your life away?
Will it bring you peace or just ease the pain?
When the sky sheds a tear, will your tears get washed in the rain

Decide if you wanna live or give up
be happy or let others control your emotions
If you wanna be better or stay the same
Cry every night or smile like it’s no tomorrow
******* to evil or cut at your sorrow
Happiness or Misery, the choice is up to you
but your decision won’t be just affecting you

What can I say about the man who's taught me a lot
the one person apart of his life that he forgot
someone that needed him the most
but his presence forever remains a ghost
& for the longest time, I've hated you for leaving
the last thing you told me is that you loved & I believed you
If there's anything you taught me the most, never be like you
never create a blessing but toss it aside like you
so for you dad, this is my fathers day thanks
to the Father I never had but always wanted
who's love failed to accept me & the memories forever haunt me
but I forgive you for walking away, I understand now
that it's more about you than it ever was about me
thanks for making my mom struggle to raise me
just off lousy child support that was $80/ week
Happy Father's Day, I became a man without you

There’s beauty in poetry if used the right way
it creates many emotions that you never existed
Picture it as an artist painting a canvas
only a paper is the canvas & words are the paintbrush
the ability to use words to collide imaginations with reality
it’s music without a beat or a rhythm
Give a poet an idea, a paper, & a pen then watch them create
That’s the Beauty in Poetry

You feel lost & confused
been hurt & abused
cheated on & misused
built to win but only seem to lose
You’ve been left & replaced
lack of confidence & drowning in self hate
cried too many tears
still living in fear

You wish to be someone else
you can’t stand to look at yourself
too many times you’ve placed on the shelf
feeling incomplete & always questioning yourself
You’ve never been loved the right way but trust
you were made the way you are for a reason
& you’re unique, you just need to believe it
but all in all, there’s one thing you should know
You Are Enough

Self conscious
broken heart
waterfall tears
soul torn apart

Self esteem low
verge of quitting
tired of being tired
tears speak but all fail to listen

All claims sound the same
same clowns, same game
fake smiles, pretend to be okay
Too many Crying Queens
too many tears been washed away
