My body is a garden, but that does not mean I'm flourishing.

A tight cluster of pale white peonies
hold together something beautiful
but what a **** shame it’s so fragile

Because there’s a hell lot more.
Those peonies are only a layer
to the millions of roses underneath,
and above a field of scattered poppy seeds

a dash of meadow rue shows how I fell down
and maybe just maybe seeping through
a gorgeous burgundy zantedeschia
will sprout from my wrist if I happen to fall apart.

Purple velvet petunias are blooming
under my eyes and my lips are full and
cracked as a fringed tulip. My eyes,
a deep blue barlow as if it meant anything.

Of course know that I have described
myself as a pretty little bouquet
Don’t I feel beautiful now?
Or is it only masking the truth with
some pretty little words?

My body may be a garden, but that does not mean I'm flourishing.
Not everything is what it seems

Walk a mile or two from highway down
A school was located in a small town
Summer was very hard to miss
Sun soared up, to give a kiss
Little children came out to play
In break of a boring long day

Evening, teddy bears were sold
Outside the gate, by a man old
Big and small, brown, grey, white
In a black robe for dollars five
One day, kids hit him with a rock
"Defected teddies!", old man they mock

Anger ensued in the mister seller
Love for the kids or rage dweller?
He waited for kids to be good
But long can he live w/o food?
Hurt was his enormous heart
Revenge was this day to start

He picked a knife and killed em kids
Tiny, little, small ****** bits
Tortured, butchered and slaughtered
To hell, the revenge was offered
Stuffed body pieces in big cotton teddy
Killed himself that day very

Years went by, in blink of an eye
Stories told of how kids die
School shut down, high inflation rate
Loud painful noises heard till date
Entrance had tall gates of metal
Midnight, hinges creaking sound settle

Souls of notorious kids scream
"Wake us from this horrendous dream"
They know not they are just ghosts
Hanging in teddy bears, from tree host
And there below sits the old man, black cloaked
Killing new passing kids, in teddies blood soaked
Passing by a park, we happened to have come across hawkers selling teddy bears hanging from a tree. Creepy visual led to writing a horror story.

You know she won't leave me
Know she won't leave me
She won't leave me

Won't leave me
He won't leave me
Know he won't leave me
You know he won't leave me
What goes around comes back around

Breathe
Don't cry
Look at me
Keep writing
Don’t hurt self
Connect all dots
Try to understand
Explore new places
Pull yourself together
Learn a new something
May all dreams come true
Beautiful things are in store
We'll always be there for you
Make it a happy day regardless
You are not blindfolded anymore
Let not clouds cast a shadow again
Your heart is stronger than you think
You were and you will always be loved

Be an archer, burn to shine, restore freedom
Lines by best of friends who keep you from losing yourself.

Words cannot express
How happy I am;
Seeing my dreams
Turning into reality;
With each little steps I take,
I am achieving my goals;
Every effort and time spent -
None of them ever wasted;
Everything that happened
Lead me to where I want to be,
To where I am right now.
And I know,
I still a have long journey ahead of me,
Opportunities laid before me,
Successes awaiting to be attained,
Triumphs waiting to be celebrated,
Victories awaiting to be won.
Always look for the good side of life. Be happy even for those small blessings. Forever be thankful! :)

Thanks for reading ;)

You know,

words are just letters

thrown together in clumps.
