I teach the kids while my ears is attacked with profanity.
I cater to patients, take baths in blood and diseases with a low salary.
I provide transport to those in need to get to their destination and haven't been paid in 16 weeks.
I risk my life providing electrical work so people can see.
I make the beds, i answer the telephone and i serve drinks at the finest resorts
I....  Got laid off.
I'm defenseless, strip of self confidence so I stay and settle with unfairness.
I'm a single mom with rent due at the end of the month contemplating of my salary in distress.
I got a mother in the hospital laying in her coffin with her medical bills plugged into her wrist.
I have an autistic son that cannot read the grocery list.
Late hours, no sleep, no holiday,
Clean the blood, provide services with a smile, when will I have a say?
Moldy kitchen, hot factories, look at the rats fuming the atmosphere with diseases.
We are chained to victimization, chained to exploit, chained to the inequality but production is all that they see.
My surrows scream for a change while my savings only seem to do is flee..
Searching for a voice but I cannot seem to find the key
Crucial to day
I am an employee .

Walking on the path full of curiosity and misery.
I pause for a moment and gaze at the sky questioning myself "i wonder why? "
I wonder why I continue to walk on this path if i know where it will lead.
Conscious yet i walk in emotional ******* while screams plead.
I wonder why i crave for a love deeper than the ocean,
A breath of fresh air i yearned for while my heart was being strangled yet I'm searching.
I wonder why lies are commonly fed to me.
Dismantling walls of bottles thrown while my throat chokes on poison.
Poison that kisses my lip bittersweet while it puts my thoughts at ease.
Holding the trigger of liquor I look in the mirror "why me"
I wonder why i exert myself to pain instead of walking away.
Consistely mouth actions is all that matters yet my hand holds onto you by the things you say.
I wonder why I manipulate my feelings for love.
Mislead by your feelings for me because it gives me a sense of happiness but roses sticks me with their thorns.
I guess you never know what you had til it's gone.
Heart frozen to the point of transfiguration due to false hope.
A beast incapable of being tamed there's no need to cope.
Addicted to a drug stronger than dope tirelessly trying to achieve,
As I continue to walk on the path,
I ask myself
"I wonder why i won't leave? "

Maybe I yearn for something outcast by individuals perspective or maybe I'm just selective.
Selective to be loved and caress in a way abandoned by this generation,
The lies, manipulation, infactuation, it all drives me to fraustration.
I want to be held like the darkness holds the sun to glisten it's beauty,
Held so my brokenness can repair as I cringe to the sensations of your love to my mentality instead of ******.
I lay fully covered while your heart strip me of insecurity and your hands massage the animosity.
The fire inside me ignites but your eyes and actions eases my soul,
You came into my life and made me feel whole.
You put light into me, attacked my demons, changed my pessimism on having feelings.
You hungered for a heart as intuitive and loving as mine,
And I craved for a romance and sincerity but I was so blind.
Your kiss derived me of my endless thoughts,
Your touch put a latch on my esteem,
Your love renew the empty soul that was lost.
You admired me like a work of art.
If only it was real and not a dream I tiresly wish upon,
The love I desire ,the absence made my heart fond.
Maybe I'm too passionate or maybe I need to grow up,
Or..
Maybe I was born in the wrong era for love.

she only ever calls me pretty when she's inebriated
i think it's love
she doesn't
it's been three years
she doesn't think it's love
it's only ever been toxic
but still
she called me pretty
and I'll take it.
A thousand times, Yes
If she ever asks.

I am craving you bravely with this pain in my heart
I am craving you bravely, with all this love I am feeling, these feelings I keep ignoring
I am craving you bravely, I'd like to embrace you, taste you..
I am craving you bravely, I love you, come back to me..
I am craving you bravely, mami, princess, come back to me

It's a beautiful thing
When he begins to sing
He can have my heart
He can have anything
It's a beautiful thing
When he begins to sing
He can hold my heart
He can have all of me

Don't put me on a pedestal, I think of jumping off bridges because she did not love me hard enough.

don't love too hard
don't do too much
don't love too hard
don't make her your world, Stupid
don't you ever get comfortable like you did
don't,
just don't. it does not ever get better for you.

Sometimes I feel like a tree
in the middle of a field
with forests surrounding said field glancing upon anything
but the singular tree
Yet now I feel like I am the bark
and you are the leaves
And we are that one
single
tree
the only eyes I shall ever beg to look upon me
Are the ones that have accompanied my growing core
As you feed into me I support you
And we soak up the sunlight and water and nutrients like no other
Because you and me
We are that
one
Single
Tree
