It is What It is
Seven Jan 2015
it could be the cold breeze seeping in
or
it could just be my dreary imagination
I have finally come to a decision that
I hate this.

Resolution
Seven Jan 2015
I don't want to enclose myself
in the prison that I have created
I don't want to keep on thinking about what has not even happened yet
I don't want to restrict myself to what is comfortable
I don't want to regret not exploring the "impossible"
I don't want to look back when I'm old and just say "it was okay"
I don't want to be just there
I don't want to merely exist
I want to be more
I want to do more
I want to live.

Split
Seven Jan 2015
Sitting on the dining table
resting my head on my cold hands
listening to the bantering voices and the soap opera on the screen
how ironic it seems
to look at something ordinary being glamorized
by lights , costumes, scripts and actors
the reflection of the scene
taking over my vision of what is in front of me
is this really reality?

Fragile
Seven Dec 2014
if it stings
it doesn't hurt enough
pain is relative

my tough skin can take it
my cold heart will make it
my hay-wired brain will survive
don't let another minute go
Think

I am not porcelain
I am steel.

Wounded
Seven Dec 2014
I run
because I forget in the first place why I do
I run
because I can't stop thinking "why do I even breathe"
I run
because I think about you and me then back to me then back to you
I run
because of the silent scream in my head that needs to be suppressed
I run
because there is so much hate and love inside me
I run, I run, I run
far
         far away
                          even if I stumble
                          even if I get scarred
                          even if


I run.
I felt inspired to write this poem because I tripped while I was running and let's just say I have a new addition to the scars on my knees.

Lost
Seven Dec 2014
Just give me a little clarity
I've been holing myself in this four corners
I am sick of thinking of the possibilities
I feel like I might just implode
Just give me a little clarity
And
           Save me from this Madness.

Human
Seven Dec 2014
The things I'm good at
are sleeping
failing
falling
moping
around.

The things I'm bad at
are living
laughing
dancing
standing
still.

I don't know what to do now
I don't know what to be
the feeling of frustration
is taking over
I'm drowning in doubts and uncertainty
but that's what life is supposed to be
Messy.

Untitled
Seven Dec 2014
I sat on a blue colored swing
pushing myself up so high
as if I can touch the sky
jumping of my seat
dust gather around me

Sometimes I wish
that I remained naive
free from the troubles of this world
but once you lose it you can never have it back

Now that I'm back, sitting on that swing
it no longer moves in many ways
it goes back and forth carefully
afraid that it will break
afraid that I will break
afraid always afraid
Utterly lost at the moment to shift or not? Is this what I really want? But then the problem of practicality hits me then I start questioning whether I'm being really selfish and ungrateful ugh

Pour Me a Cup of Tea
Seven Dec 2014
his warm strong hands lift me up towards the vast blue sky
my grasping little Fingers stretched out feel the rays of the sun warm my skin
then suddenly,
A gust of cold wind blows him away like
petals of dandelions
disappearing
one
by
one
Till
there
are
none.

the sky starts turning graphite gray,
but his scent of:
citrus
musk
pines
still lingers in the air.

my Hands once reaching out
become loose hanging threads.


,
                                                   the sky starts crying
                                               forming huge teardrops
                                                       ­ that falls on
                                                           my facE
                                                            ­slowly
                                                          ­   then
                                                            ­   all
                                                           at once
                                                            ­    it
                                                          ­   Rains.


The taste of green tea, bitter and warm, remains.

Keep Safe and Dry
Seven Dec 2014
The storm is coming
be prepared
you might end up
with broken windows, flooded streets, helpless people

Don't forget
that though the eye is calm
the storm will make a landfall near
that will destroy you

It might just be gloomy now
but it will start drizzling then flooding
then where would you be by then?
so go home and stay there my friend

Shift
Seven Dec 2014
I keep on running
until you can't chase me anymore
               let me be
               for once
just
go away

                 My lungs
                 I can't breathe
every time I try to walk away
I end up coming back in full circle

Don't chase after me anymore
                you are out of your reach.

Lost
Seven Dec 2014
I sleep and dream of you
some stranger you are
out of reach
only your shadow can be seen

Someday I will know you
or perhaps I already do
maybe a little light
will help me see

the person that I always wanted to be.

She
Seven Nov 2014
She
Eyes too blind to see
that you're losing yourself to him

Where is she?
the girl with big dreams who said she doesn't need anybody

I guess love means to destroy
don't be that kind of girl

Who will crawl after she falls
save yourself while you still can

because when all else fails
who will be with you until the end?

Is It or Is It Not?
Seven Nov 2014
I didn't realize how sad I was
until you told me you were leaving
not because I like you
but because you are my friend.

I hate goodbyes
I hate hate hate not being able to look people in the eye
I don't like it when people lie
but I hate it even more because I know I die a little inside.

******* for making fun of me
I asked you repeatedly
Does it make you happy to see other people cry?
And continued on with your lie

I guess now I know I appreciate honesty
and friendship that doesn't revolve in tomfoolery
so to put it bluntly
I am ****** and you are an *******
so don't talk to me.

Maybe
Seven Nov 2014
I am a despicable woman
because I returned your advances with guilty kisses.

I am a despicable woman
because I said I loved you like it was for free.

I am a despicable woman
because I made you believe that there was a forever with me.

I am despicable woman
because you let me in
while you never even reached me.

So yeah,
it's not you, it's me.

— The End —
