Lies are truths we wish
        to hear
Truths are lies we wish
        were real
This lesson that I will now impart,
Is that good always starts from the heart.
I used to..feel all alone
A King without a throne
Insecurity sickness caught
A kingdom of unruly thoughts

I used to..think I was no good
Just a knucklehead in tha hood
Dealt pain for my gain
Memories scar leaves a stain.

I used to..wish for inner peace
Within me is a beast
Tame my soul under control
The struggle will never cease..

I used to..want to die
My soul asked me why
I did not know..Its painful to grow
My nature is to try..

I used to..I still do
Go ahead label me a fool
In the end myself I *****
My intentions are quite true...♏
M.A.N 2-7-14 Short quick hitter poems I guess you can call it???Using "I used to" I wrote about ten but some were too personal I'll keep those for my private collection.♏
The only thing you should ever take from a person
Is a smile
Or a hug
Or a laugh
Something that can be kept, and stolen away at the same time
And leaves you both feeling good

My reflection in the mirror
It is truly me
But is it how I am now
Or how I want to be?

There are clouds upon the water
But only for the eyes
It’s just a trick of reflection
Bringing them down from the sky

For vanity we create them
Everything more than one
Reflections into reflections
More beauty for everyone

All the shiny things in life

Reflects things near and far

Don’t get caught by illusions

Remember who you are

SHE IS A FRAGILE THING.
DONT GET TOO CLOSE, HER TOUCH IS EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A BEE STING, SHE'S DANGEROUSLY ENCHANTING.
Every time I look at you
I can feel my whole world crumble.
The ground beneath my feet shaking
trees rustling, concrete cracking.
Buildings collapsing.

Every time I look at you
chaos,
devastation,
they always seem to follow.

Every time I look at you
I can feel an earthquake
erupting within my heart.
Shaking the ground beneath my feet
my walls crumbling
my senses dulling
my mind wandering
to a fantasy of you and me

Every time I look at you
the ground collapses
and I fall
and keep falling.
Because I know
that you won't be there
to catch me.
Just a short one literally before I go to sleep. I wanted to post something else, but it was with a friend so I don't have it with me.
