Bruno Joseph Orsi: Favorites

The first impression is always the most important
but it’s not always right.
For instance he makes you laugh,
later on he turns his back.
He doesn’t talk,
yet words can’t describe what he’s really saying.

It is said first impressions make the difference,
then why are we told not to judge a book by its cover.
When it comes to me,
you too shouldn’t judge.
To me, being a fool is just another day.
Life is easier when you don’t care what others think.

I can laugh
and I can cry.
I’ve been called the biggest dork alive,
and I quite agree.
If you don’t like what I am ... it’s just me.
So deal with it.

Left Behind

Left Behind

Can’t breathe
Can’t think when we were happy
We were normal

You lied
And now the tables have turned
In your favour

You left
You feel satisfied—you’ve won
Your ******* game

Broken
That’s how I’m left—feeling used
And you don’t care

Destroyed
The last part of my soul-gone
Now so are you

283: Final Request

The man was condemned to die, to be shot by firing squad but he had one last request.

The captain approached the man, who was tied to the post and asked him to make his request and it would be granted.

"I would not ask to be free for I would only be untied and still shot, I know there must still be a death by firing squad but fear you will not honour my request" spoke the man.

"I will accept your request and honour it, my men are my witness and so is my commanding officers" spoke the captain.

"I have no wish for the moments with a beautiful woman or to feast on a fine meal, or to drink of the best wine but you will not honour my last request". spoke the man.

"As God is my witness, I promise whatever your request will be granted, on that you have my solemn word" spoke the captain.

"Then" spoke the man, "take my place".

Game Over

Defeated.
I can’t win.
Only lose.
I sink
Lower.
Deeper.
Each try.

Defeated.
I’m empty.
Not upset,
Nor angry,
Hollow.
Drained.
I’m empty.

272: Because

You can't cry in silence
Without making a sound
You can't hide locked away
Without ever being found

You can work without end
Never stopping to rest
Exhaustion will take you
When you are past your best

Love with seek you out
When dark streets you roam
You feel you are forever lost
But love will guide you home

As sorrow drags you down
Taking you deeper into despair
Don't believe you face being alone
Because your friends will be there

Dedicated to all those who have been there for me on here, love you all.

Unfortunate

Unfortunate

Helpless, stranded
Branded without your wings
Fallen angel
Just threw it away

Fallen victim
To the evil in the world
Oh, so eager
To do something wrong

Downwards spiral
Into drugs and drinking
Can’t recover
From what you’ve chosen

Say you’ll quit
But go on like before
Do it again
Break everyone’s trust

You’ve lost your chance
To prove that you’ve changed
You said you had
An obvious lie
