You wake up
With your mind full of positivity
Ready to take on the day
With the mindset that today is the day
Everything will change
You feel good
Spirited
A spring in your step
But guess what
Somewhere deep in your mind
You know it isn't going to last
And you're right
Something happens that just takes all that spirit away
You're back to your usual self
The down sad one
What do you do
Allow that mishap take you back
Or do you learn from it and continue
I know it's easier said than done
But for ourselves we gotta move on
We can't let these little bumps keep us down
We get back up and keep going
Even if you don't feel like it
And you rather just stay hidden
But no, let's move on and get better
Because we owe that much to ourselves
We deserve to be happy

A confession.
 Feb 2019 Morning
Eyla
most people see me as
a happy person because
i laugh easily,
i smile a lot,
i joke a lot.

but deep down
in my heart,
i am fragile,
i can get hurt easily,
but i choose to not
show it to the world.

instead of being sad,
i choose to laugh to cover it.
maybe you can call me
"the queen of the mask"

by this,
you can tell
that most of the time
when I'm laughing,
I'm not really laughing,
i was trying so hard to hide
my sadness.

every body
is addicted to something
& this body
seems to love
sadness
darkness
& pain -
this mind
unearths emotions
that cause
quite the commotion
to encourage a reaction
so intense
just to distract
from the silence
Maybe brains get addicted to emotions just like they do to other substances and that's why this memory that makes me sick keeps plaguing my mind over and over and over and

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived

Midnight
 Feb 2019 Morning
Heather
The midnight
It brings out something amazing from within
It's either when you feel your most pain or your most love
But that night
We felt our most love
There was no need for words cause we both felt it
Just a touch from you
Made my heart... you know
When you held my waist I wished we could have stayed like that forever
But that ended
We went our separate ways
But still remained in that moment
Arguing about the night and day while the sun slowly rose in the east
Both fighting sleep just so we can keep talking to each other
But all good things must come to an end
It all felt like a dream but thank goodness it wasn't
Thank you Midnight

Heather
I wish memory erasing exist
Because forgotting memories isn't easy
Especially the good ones that just leaves your heart broken
Or you just wish you could leave this life behind and start over
But life isn't that easy
And life isn't that fair
But you just wish so so much
That all the pain go away
That everything just goes away
But they always say be careful what you wish for
But at this moment I don't really care

Grieve
 Feb 2018 Morning
YLJ
People grieve in different ways
Some cry it all out and make a screen
Other let it go little by little
There are those who save it for a private moment
Not to be heard by anyone
They say their last goodbye on their own time and at their own pace
Not wanting to be seen by others
A cry so deep and filled with emotion
That there is not a sound in this world that could duplicate it.

I live to be noticed by you.
But you never notice.
And you never will.
So now I must find a new purpose.
But I'd much rather just not live.

I Cry

She Writes
You ask me why it’s so hard to forgive you;
I ask you why it’s so easy to hurt me.

When you hurt me, I cry.
If I hurt you, I cry.

I deserve the love I keep trying to give you,
Don’t you see?

You can’t reciprocate the love I keep giving to you.
Why can’t I see?
