All it takes is one mistake and you're done for

It's not you that I'm scarred by.
It's the relationship we had which scarred me.

It's funny how life works.
When I was younger
I used to not care.
Now I'm older
And I care too much.
I can't decide which one is worse,
Caring too much
Or not caring at all

Most Demons
Hide in an
Angel's body

Once you force someone to do something.
They lose all inspiration to do it

Sometimes you just
Need to stop
Listening to the voices

The saddest thing that I've seen in my life
Is seeing someone who used to care
Not care anymore and accept the position they're in

Time is our greatest ally and our worst enemy

Some things are inevitable
Now there are two ways you can handle it
You can either accept it and move on
Or you can give up and let that decision be your
Downfall

Humans often forget that we're humans
We aren't gods, we aren't goddesses
We are just that, humans
We all go through difficult times.
No one is perfect

Death doesn't scare me
Hurting those closest to me
Scares me

I feel trapped,
If I knew what was keeping me encaged
I would be free

Your age doesn't represent your maturity
And it doesn't have to.
Act as young or as old as you please.
Just know when to grow up

We often forget to stop and just breathe.
Look around.
Reflect on your life and you will come to realize
That life isn't just stress and darkness.
There's those small wonderful moments in life
Which makes life worth living.

I've got a lot of faults.
I'm not easy to take care of.
I'm really high maintenance.
I don't talk that much.
I'm bad at relationships
But it's okay
Because I know that
That's who I am and that's okay

People often tell me I'm a lot like my father.
I don't like my father,
But I don't hate him.
I often get so carried away trying to not become my father
That I forgot who I really was.

My mom was my mentor.
She helped me with my problems.
Although I stopped telling her my problems.
Because I was embarrassed and scared that I would disappoint her.
And so I act strong around the house.
But everywhere else
I always slouch
Because whenever I'm at home
It feels although I carried the weight of the world

Life is black and white
With a bit of grey.
This world which I see is very dull.
I try to see
The in-between
But I can't
Seem to free
Myself from the
Black, white and grey
That I see

Spent too much time in my head
Late nights spent on possibilities,
Possibilities that never became reality
And now this is
My sad reality

Hey readers!!!

Thank you so much for looking through my page. I wanted to give a shoutout to Lance McDonald. He has an awesome YouTube page where he reads poetry. He is trying to promote poetry because poetry is often overlooked.  As poets I think that we should all try to support him by following him.
His channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYG8zE0qsfk1bbuo9s-o2VQ

Thanks,

She follows the words with grace.
The happiness of being alone
Holding the key to a new reality
Is all too familiar
To this little girl

It ***** to know that there is something out there
That can take away all the pain

Those who try and fail
Aren't failures

Those who don't try at all
Are the ones who are
Failures

Don't fall in love
For it will just cause more pain

The ones who have seen the worst horrors
And who are still standing tall
Are the ones who are the bravest and the most courageous

Humans are afraid of the unknown
That is why we search
Day and Night
For an explanation
of the unexplainable

There is a problem with our society
There is not a problem with our kids

We are all equal with different perfections

I remember the pain
I went through
I remember the anger
I had
I remember the emotions
I felt
I remember the lies
I was told
I remember the shock of being stabbed in the back
I remember who
I was
I remember how this has shaped me into the person
I Am

I know that feeling of being lost
I know that feeling that there is no one out there who understands
What you're going through and the emotions that you have

But listen to me
Hear these words that I'm about to say
I understand what you're going through
The emotions that you are feeling
I understand and I want to help

Because once ago
I was going through
The same thing

Only those who I consider family
Are the ones who truly
Know me

We all take time and love for granted

One of the things I'm haunted by
Is giving up on something that I was told
I wasn't good enough to do
