A lesson I learned in life
is to be wary with the people we trust.

Even our closest friends may stab our backs with a knife
deftly dealing each blow, smiling with each ******.

Be mindful of who you share your problems with.
Some will just ignore you, without any care.
Some will even be have it happened to you.
Some will pretend to listen, lending you their ears.
Some will give you their advice.

But only a few will proffer to you their hands.
Only a few will stay and ask how they can help.

Only a few will be by your side.
Only a few will really be there.
my words are not as good as they used to be
all thoughtfulness and creativity gone
i can't even think of poetry at all
i'm trying to impress
i'm trying to do my best
but it seems like my mind is so dull
my energy is gone
my enthusiasm drained
my creativity burned out
it took everything to even write this
i'm gone
who am i?
i don't even know anymore
i don't feel alive
i don't even exist
i feel like i will never come out of this
i'll be fine
i always am
but i think i need a break
Life is hard for us all
Everyone goes through a struggle
Keep fighting your way through
And move on the double
Darkness may appear
But, we must reach towards the light
Remove from those clouds
And make your world bright

I lost my little girl today.
I held her in my arms and felt
her slipping away.

As the end came sneaking in
I gave her up to medicine.
And, in my selfish way,
I prayed for even one more day.

Hurry fill the forms in and
hurry up to wait.
Knowing in the heart of me
that already I'm too late.

Then they come and take her
from my loving arms.
To poke, to **** and draw blood.
And again I wait as
they try to resuscitate.

My prayer was not heard today.
My little girl died
when her heart gave way.

Just a dog so many say.
Yet in my eyes
my child died today.

Now there's an empty
space inside that no
thing can fill. . .
except the warm memories
of my loving little girl.

Never pretty enough
Always the ugly friend. . .
Never smart enough
Always struggling just to keep up. . .
Never talented enough
Always waiting in the wings. . .
Never good enough
Always the last to be picked. . .
Never. . .enough
Always. . .afraid

My life has slipped away.
My life has been crazy slow.
The days seem long.
The weeks fly by.
And the years . . .
                                where did they go?

I wrote a poem when I died...
Another at my birth.
A brand-new sonnet when I cried.
And again when there was mirth.

A song for my confession...
A story for my pain...
A painting for depression...
And nursery rhymes for rain.

My creations live inside my heart.
I keep them there in shame.
Yet you looked around and saw my art,
And smiled all the same.

My policy
is typically
*******
in a pony tail
easy
efficient
out of my eyes
But sometimes...
it gets monotonous
and tied
to my more
introverted me
academic me

I've tried braids
brings me back to elementary
school
Several people called me
cute
Certainly,
I embody a twelve year old

I tried a headband
not bad
yet,
the fluffy strands
continue
to get in the water fountain
when I'm drinking

Hair out?
The first one I tried
free
but messy
Everywhere
in my eyes
The me,
that will roll down a grassy hill
just cause

So, which one is it
or something...more?
Is it
just hair?
Is it
linked to my identity?
I dunno
But maybe I'll
find
out
...
What is it to you?

I know my texts don't excite you anymore,
But you are polite enough to reply it anyway
And if I call you, you'll receive it too
But I know you cringe when you hear my voice
Just for the night , you needed me
Just for that one night
The night's already over
But I m not over you yet

I remember everything, so clearly in my head
How beautifully you sang, & I sang along with you
How you made me laugh, laugh & laugh so hard
How you held my hands & we tried to dance
How your lips blew life to my cold and dry spirit
How the butterflies in my stomach fluttered
How my cheeks turned crimson and I looked away
But you kept on staring at me
Like  you wanted to fall in love...

I did not undress my body that night,
I undressed my soul
I put it right in front you
Just in its purest form
I let you see me,
See all my imperfections
I told you all my fears,
The secrets I hid inside,
I thought this is it,
This is what I had been looking for,
My soul was happy
And thought it had found "THE ONE"

Little did I know, it was only for the night
Just for that one night
So tell me who do I blame?
Blame you for setting up my hopes high
Or blame me for believing the truth like lie
Or should I just blame the night?
The night for lasting just awhile.......
