We love a good introspection.
A lot of thinking-outside-the-box
a dash of sponaneity with a pinch
of romance.
A lot of pondering, wandering
wondering and pandering.
We crave intimacy and to woo we say,

"Look at my poetry."

Our minds are wired differently.
We tend to see things not as they are
but what they can be.
We are silently affectionate but rarely
spout off our poems in public.
We love deeply, fall hard and
live out our lives according to our
composition books.
Stop thinking that you are too much
this or that
too ugly or too fat
because you are worth
much more
than a number.

No jean size, person or society
can dictate how you live your life.
No failure or mistake can ever
define you.

You are only defined by your character.
I misjudged someone.
I took their appearance as hindrance
to their appeal.
It doesn't feel good to look at that face
and think about
what could've been.
Its an addiction...

When you relish every word
And see beauty in written lines,
Seeing them romance each other
While everyone see paragraphs.

Its an addiction...

When you idolize pens like brush
And adore papers like canvas,
When you see things in 4D
In a three dimensional world!

Its an addiction...

When you see colorful shades of gray
While everyone sees blacks and whites,
When you see words come alive
And embark on every poetic voyage.

Its an addiction...

When everything is beautiful
Be it tragic, happy or vague,
As long it's expressed in words
In a seamless, caressing way!

Its an addiction...

When you peek into Hellopoetry
When you know you should be working,
When you see poetry in everything
And must hurry to write and share.

It's an addiction...*

When you read these lines of mine
And proceed to click ♥
Yes! I am deeply addicted!
And no! I do not need a shrink!

I've learned in poetry,
Not every piece...
Is a masterpiece*!

Happiness is free...
It can't be bought with money,
It's simply priceless...
The best things in life will always be free. Enjoy them!
She loves me
When I'm rich

**Gives me a break
When I'm broke!
Listen to me!
I cough out my tales of woe!
I'm so hurt!
I'm so terribly low!
******* up,
With your pipe and your cup,
Give me the stuff,
So I can forgive you and away I'll go,
I act like I can't hear you,
It's the only pass-time I enjoy!
Toss and turn as if you don't know,
Don't play coy,
With me,
I'll smack you into next week,
By then you'll have resolved yourself!
Amphetamines!
THC Dreams!
Smash this bottle!
Drown in whiskey!
Killer combinations eat me time after time.
I made it all up in my head,
So I could afford some counterfeit meds!
Pocket pills,
My own free will,
For my ******-somatic need to ****!
The painless solution,
Found at the bottom of an alcoholic potion!
We are addicted to a lie!
Begging for another chance to say "Goodbye!"
And I know now there's no wrong or right,
Tie your lips to a stem and watch it ignite!
And we'll scream,
Amphetamines!
THC Dreams!
Smash this bottle!
Drown in whiskey!
It's like we live for nothing,
Pretend to **** yourself,
So you'll feel like something,
Break some hearts just to know you can,
Those pills in your pocket will make you fly before you land!
If you haven't noticed.
There's nothing wrong with you.
This poem was so fun to write. This song is just as fun: "The Sharpest Lives"-My Chemical Romance
Beyond every struggle, every battle, every strife.
There is hope for a better tomorrow, a lesson, a new door.

We must forge ahead if we are to survive.
Let us journey onwards, and see what the future has in store.
We create our own future - what will yours be?
A spider’s web,
So beautiful,
So intricate.
A work of art,
Worthy of admiration.

A spider’s web,
So evil,
So restrictive.
A prison,
Worthy of the innocent.

The spider itself,
Running on instinct,
Never realizing how much they torture their victims.
Yet, how enticing they make their webs,
Seduction, trust, desire.
Bugs don’t realize what they’re getting into
Before they get trapped.

Stuck, unable to move, forced into torture.
Abused physically, mentally, forced to love.
But we accept the love we think we deserve.

We deserve this pain, they love us.
Draining the life out of me,
They only do it because they love us.
They don’t mean it.

The bruises on my mind and on my body are love wounds.
My heart only beats for them,
I am loyal to my spider.
He abuses me because he loves me,
Because he doesn't know better.

Then the spider kills its prey,
The truest sign of love.
About abusive relationships.
