Poetry is for those who write it,
not for those who read it.
28 December 2017 - How I feel about poetry.

Short edit: I've invoked a bit of controversy over this poem, and that is a good thing in the grand scheme of things. I just wanted to clarify an important point, however. This poem is not intended convey that poetry is not at all for the reader. I only mean to express that the writer is in the unique position of having written the poem, but there are many readers. I tend to write poetry for myself, but I'm happy if readers share in my poetry.
You were my best tire and I blew it.

leave, tired
come, tired
sleep, tired

its a truth ' they broke the mould when you were born'
so do not frustrate yourself with trying to fit in to some notion of what it means to live to the full. You are already unique and consequently only a unique way of life will content you.

letting go the frustration
I found freedom
and dared to be
and dared to be me.

Never have I ever prayed that without me you would be happy.
I pray that he treats you right
Kisses your forehead
And constantly and I mean persistently tells you how much you brighten the darkest room.
I pray that your worst days aren't still and cold
I pray that you keep your chin up even when all **** knocks you down.
I pray that no matter how far we continue to grow apart that you will continuously love me just like I love you.

It kicks in late at night
Bothers me
Plays tricks on me
I may seem happy but deep inside I am going through it
Depression isnt always something you notice
But these symptoms will haunt you
