sometimes I don’t even understand.
I need a break from my thoughts.

I used to read your poems
but lately you don't write
you're silent and aloof
you know that isn't right.
You can't close a door once opened
you can't abolish all your dreams
you're a poet of the heart
mustn't fall apart at the seams.
Say what you can in words
they speak the message true
spoken from the heart
the poems will see you through.
A hermit's not your style
a recluse, you are not
never give up writing
of things that you've been taught.
I used to read your poems
I'd read them once again
if you would send them out
(this one's from a poet friend)

i wish i could help you

but i know that the demons were with you far before me
Having a partner with depression can be difficult. But you have to remember if them being sad makes you sad it isn't you. Depression hurts and changes people and it's a battle people must face on their own. The best thing you can do is remind your person you love them for being them.

For you my heart blooms
A mere glance makes it quiver
Petals everywhere

I look around and see smiles
A resting face
A quiet one
A calm one
All sorts of faces.
Everyone talking to each other,
With each other
Right there
But everyone is so far away.
They rate you and review you
And everyone likes you
Yet everyone is so disappointing.
The “friends” here are not that at all

My eyes has been
wide open all night
like a corpse’s eyes

Would you come and
gently close them for
me so I can finally sleep?
I wanted to write a poem about how much I’ve missed her, and I guess this is my way of saying it.

In seeking
Your love
I’ve made my way
To the realm of wisdom
A kingdom where self love
Seats proudly on the throne
Where I’ve discovered
Under the cold sun
Deep In the abyss of a cloud of your counterfeit love
That I’ve been one of the missing all along
Where I’ve been calling thunderously to be found by You
Didn’t you hear me calling for You ?
Sometimes you have to let go of things and people you love in order for you to be found.This is never easy.  In the words of one of my mentors, “You are pruned if you do and pruned if you don’t.”  In my own life, I’m currently grappling with letting go of something that I would rather not in pursuit of what I truly need and want.  These decisions get easier as you mature and become keen on what you need and want most.   It is my greatest prayer that we all live authentic lives, even when it cost us in the short term. You can do this and you will be stronger for it.
