we were just like
two numerical numbers
from the opposing sign
added together
and the result is zero*

every letter in my poems
has been carved from the contents inside my heart
with every dancing lines and singing words
exposed sorrows
every lyrics portrayed loneliness
akin to the approaching rain
rain that has been hiding from the sky
that will come out when the sky cannot hold the weight anymore
yes
this is just a piece of paper that i use
to be written with my bleeding pen and make the blood as an ink
blood that came from my heart
i wish you will know that you are the reason
why i write these ****** letters
you are the reason why these poems has been crying
you are the reason why there are teardrops on my poems
teardrops that i use to erase this loneliness
but i didn't expect that these papers will be broken
to the point that you cannot see the line anymore
the line that says
"i love you"

she may hurt, but she is not pain.
she may fail, but she is not a failure.
she may be tragic, but she is not tragedy.

*she may feel worthless,
but this, too, will pass.

I love people who do not love me as much as they should,
I open my arms to people to give them hugs and embracing them
as they stab me in the back.
I always get my own blood from the knives in my backs
confused with love and warmth,
I dont feel like anyone needs me as much as I need them,
every friend I have always hesitates as I say 'I love you'
I always get pushed aside as my friends start to date,
I only ever am relevant when their love turns to hate,
I dont think anymore on my own,
I've become too dependent,
so just ignore me
just let me be by myself.

Your mother died and I'm sorry,
but that does not mean that I forgive you,
I do not forgive your wolfish grin as you held around my throat,
I will not forgive the ****** eyes that stared into mine as you punched me
I will not forgive the menace of my youth
I will not let this reduce the grudge in my mind.

If one more man tries to tell the world what **** is, I'll explode
If one more white man kills a black person and has it called "justice"
If one more person says that depression is just a phase
If one more parent hits their kid and calls it love
If this world stays so broken.
If this world stays so upside down.
If.
If I bring a child into this world someday, I will tell them I'm sorry
If that kid has to live in this same world,
if my child has to suffer because of anything.
If.

You have no freaking idea how hard it is
