If I could be so bold as to simply put it out there.
This generation needs a wake up call. I know that "you" think that you are smarter and more savy than us old timers but I have a little secret.
For centuries time seems to repeat itself. History is the story of man. simply in  repeat. The only difference is every generation thinks they can do it better.   It is the narcissistic character in us all. As time goes by technology advances but with these advancements the human race seems to lose its humanity. There is too much information at our fingertips, too much social media making it ever so easy to become a hermit. Today the art of conversation is almost non existent. The art of speech and debate has fallen on deaf ears because today it is acceptable to date via Internet, carry conversations without ever hearing a tone in a voice, or looking in someone's eyes. The very thing that gives us character is being stripped away and leaving our youth at a lose.  I want to scream out and make the children of today see what they are doing make them realize that it is ok to learn from the past. That they are not wiser, that they do not need to use the technology today as a crutch. Wake up take a stand. Have a conversation with your peers and see them for who they really are. Take a chance and dare to be different. Dare to not conform!
It bothers me to sit and watch the decline of our society. We have let ourselves get lost in all the social media hype

You,
who used to touch me where I didn't want you to, reaching inside me, where I'd *never
let anyone before, I was only eleven, I shouldn't of been treated like a *****...
   I hate you

You,
who took advantage of me, when I was just thirteen, taking what innocence and trust that I had left, breaking my spirit down to an empty shell...
   I hope you rot in H£LL

You,
who just watched what they did to me, judging me, saying it's my fault for dressing slutty. I was only fourteen...
I hope I'm never like you

You,
who made me believe I was not a used rag doll, gave me trust and hope, only to reach my sixteen year old core, then ripping it all to shreds like never before...
I'll never forgive you

You,
who said you loved me, made me think it was the real thing, helped me forget the past, at only eighteen, you gave me my wings and hope that it would last, then when you realized I just wasn't enough, you went and found some different lust, at twenty-five, you decided you wanted a new life,  but our kids mean the world to me, so I can't regret you, but I can erase your memory...
I hope she cheats on you

You,
who finally made me think I'd found the real thing, then broke me down, then picked me up just to throw me down again, over and over, then used the fragile remaining shards of my heart to cut out my soul and leave me falling apart...
I wish you nothing but pain and despair

You,
who I laugh and joke with now, who I wish to know more, who makes me scared I'll end up with a broken heart like before, who seems to truly care...
Please, don't forget how fragile I am
        
You,
who I may or may not have met yet, don't hurt me, don't make me regret. I won't be able to handle losing another, I wanna be happy with you, I wanna know forever...
**I hope you'll love me too
I've never written about a few of the things mentioned in this, it was quite difficult for me, Tbh.  Feedback would be greatly appreciated.  
Thank You.

There's an ice storm in my brain,
        my thoughts
                     are sliding
                out of control,
         there's a fire in my chest,
                        making ashes
          of what's left of
                     my soul.
A big THANK YOU to Sir Poet and Frank Ruland for inspiring this little "poem" out of me, I'm so proud to call y'all family. ❤
And I know that I should be careful,
That I should hold back,
But with you, I can't.

You spark the flame,
The forest fire of passion
In my heart.
I love unconditionally, with no obstacles or walls. Freely.

Every test in our life
makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to break us or make us. The choice is ours whether we become VICTIM or VICTOR!
Did not write this but thought it had merit

I wish I had the power to rid you of your pain. To take the insecurities and replace them with confidence.
I wish I had the power to make you see all the good . To rid you of the pain and suffering you feel the need to have.
I wish you would understand that this ominous feeling you are carrying now will soon seem so trivial.
I wish you knew all the things I know now.
I wish I didn't have to sit back and watch you make the same mistakes I did.
I wish my love for you was enough to carry you through.
I wish the reality that it isn't,
wasn't so.
oh how  i wish......
The pain only a parent can suffer as we watch our children grow
