i'm surrounded by familiar faces
some are warm, some are cold
all with love for me
yet i still feel so alone


i usually wear a mask
i hide behind my smile,
my jokes and my childishness
but my shadow reveals
the true pain and sorrow i contain
for it is filled with nothing but darkness
the first smile i force out everyday
screams for help, freedom, solace
but i hide it so well, no one seems to notice


i want be seen and heard
with the respect and love i truly deserve
i wish i didn't have to hide who i am
a colored spirit without limits nor end

it's a lot easier
to not give a care
that's what you told me
we were quite a pair
"don't waste time on the frivolous,
absolutely not worth your breath"
they're too consumed by their ignorance
forgetting the existence
of true endeavors
shame, it seems it will never end
they're high on the feeling
stuck in their head


hold my hand
and help me forget,
once again let's not care
until the end
i miss you and i need you
it's us against the world

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.

they leave behind
invisible scars

they sting my eyes
color it dark

but i love the way
they fall to my heart

as if to reassure me
that i will be okay

they help me sleep
in hope to wake
to a new & tear-less day

People often forget
to write about their happiness
It's only when they're upset
that they clamor of their madness
because they know
pity comes to the loud,
and ignorance to the mellow
I am happy right now

You are so in a rush
You forget to listen
Consumed by lust
Can't wait to be taken
Do you know what you want?
Is she a hundred?
Is she the one you wanted?
is she....

I'm done writing poems
About you
About what could've been
I no longer care
of how you've been doing
But when the day comes
you realize how unhappy you are
Don't come bother looking for me
I'll be up there,
floating among the stars

White clouds
Lasting the day
You excite my heart
In your coy, twisted way
We express our mutuality
Through art and song
Why do you toy with my heart?
And why do I play along?
Out of shame I have to say
Only you can make me smile this way
But smile fades with one mistake
One which you constantly repeat
Leading you always into instant retreat
And so you settle for saftey
For you think that I am too risky
End of day, I sigh in woe
Just like the clouds
That end up a storm
