I always envy
The shining star
Residing
Near the moon....
More than me,
It's the moon,
Flaming white in Jealousy.....
Or is it the shining star
Burning more than us?
My mind wandered from star to moon & again came back to me....
With some envious thoughts....
& Now playing blame game.....
But Jealousy is not good for health...
Be aware....

In each of her eyes
Is a lone star
All around abound
In vastness are oceans
Hauntingly blue, I bet
On my life there are sharks too
Swimming in them waters.
Take a peek at your own risk

They say to keep your eyes open, but your mind closed,
leave your thoughts unspoken
and your body exposed.
We hold such value to anyone who holds a heart,
and when all is said and done we rip ourselves apart.

I've never been one to wake up in the morning,
I love living my life to look at the stars.
You experience complete peace without any kind of warning,
and if you look hard enough you can sometimes see Mars.

If you go back to the year 1944,
sixteen year olds were coming back from war,
and now in today in 2017,
an adolescent is a child and an adult a teen.

We're so far from our natural state,
our entire species is cursed with cancer.
When we were hunter-gatherers we were doing great,
But we thought preserved food was the better answer.

Most live their lives now in a camera,
forever looking for one more person's approval.
Trying to reach a standard of Marilyn or Pamela,
but a step forward would be technological removal.

Let's look back to around 1970,
when people were still struggling with equality,
And most likely by the year 2020,
we'll be oppressed and depressed by the plenty.
You laughed
when my sleeve hiked up
"Oh no, you're one of them."

You laughed
when I wanted to die
"You're overreacting, you just need some sleep"

You laughed
when I showed you my favorite song
"That is plain out pathetic"

You laughed
when I said goodbye
"you're not gonna do it. You never do"

Will you laugh
at my funeral
in the morning?

i can feel it
as if i was a flower, too stuck beneath the earth, tied down by my roots that refused to grow
too scared to grow, too scared to bloom
i can feel it
i'm pulling away from my roots finally and raising above the earth
into this foreign light and sunshine, no longer finding comfort in the cold dark
i'm blooming, growing, away from you becoming the beauty i could have always been, yet you were holding me back, i remained stuck and unwell, no water, no sunlight
i'm leaving my roots behind, my petals are vibrant and bright
and i am no longer scared to keep growing away from you, far far away
you showered me with dirt and worms
i found my strength to break free and grow into what you didn't want me to be

Destiny will guide our paths,
Into a land of forever.
