I'm careful
how I am around
people

It's tiring to try and be
the way I think
people want me to be

When it's time for me
to be me
I don't know
how to be

there is no me

I fell for you
I don't know why
You are a mess
but so am I

You asked me
"why didn't you tell me
you like me so much"

It's because
I feel seclusive
with you
seclusive from
the rest of the world
and I clung onto it

You can see
when I am in pain
You're the only person
in this world
who is on the outside looking in

You're the only person
I have been able to
share that with
and I let you in

When it started
slipping away
it all began
to feel meaningless

I feel as if
I may over exaggerate
and I often over think
but that's who I am

That's the pain I carry
it's a blessing
and a curse
to feel that much

I am a wheel
and I continue to spin
because life continues
to push on the pedals
that make me spin

I am dizzy from
all the life I have
felt
and spent

I often fall
sometimes with a laugh
but sometimes I get bruises

I am sorry
I expected more
maybe I am crazy
but I like who we are together
our lives will pedal well
together

I don't tell people about my poetry
Why?
Because its my escape
That God gifted me with
So I can find truth
In the world.
Also So that when I die
Someone will find it
And then they will understand.
And they can continue
to learn about me
And know struggles are real.
I like to believe
That I'm not a lost cause.
And neither are you.

Memories are alive
If you don't dumb them
With pain
It's a trap
Those memories were true
They were pure
Don't infect them
By an injection

"Every body has a story"

That's what they have said
I sat wondering what is my story
my head was striving for that one
inspirational story
that they would applaud for
because their success from point A to point B
was so out of this world because they were able
to stretch from their rock bottom all the way to the moon
and all the stars and back

I wondered if I had to pretend
to create a rock bottom
so I could rise to the top
even though I don't have a story

Then I hit
I hit the bottom hard at that moment
because I realized that I made myself believe
I had no worth because
I didn't have something important to tell
I felt no worth
and that is my story

I am here today to start creating my life
because stories don't just come to you
you have to create them

I have a wish
I wish everybody had a blank face
until we come to the point
that we know we genuinely love them
so we would not base our love for one another on appearance
but on our inward display

No one is stopping you
Just live your life
The only person stopping you
is the voice in your head

People feed him false information
and he will scream it until you believe its true
once you believe is true
this is where the destruction in the world is born
people are living false lives
because they are living out the lies
they believed to be true

I will embrace my imperfections
because that is what makes me different
I don't want to be the same cookie cuter
stereotypical teenage adolescent
I will make my own memories
