You ask where the good men gone
But I keep reacting in my thoughts
But just too stubborn to tell you we exist
The misconception just contuines to persist and I just grow more ******
At myself
I have a hard time expressing myself about people like me cause my words shake and falter
So I just think it's better to stay silent
Ladies, the silent admirers exist
You just got to pay attention
Instead of putting them in love detention
It's not your fault, no its not
But just to make the future better
Take notice, you won't regret it
Guys usually get turned on by body parts and looks, but kindness turns me on. I'm afraid I'm the minority but that doesn't really bother me at all. I like that about myself, it resonates me that I can do something right.
Like a ballerina twirling as she dances lightly on her toes,
She is free.
And as the Earth swirls in her own sorrow, painting her poetry in the newly sun-less sky,
She is free.
And like the plump and pigmented cheeks of a child experiencing her first snowfall in the biting winter,
She is free.
And as the roses bud in the birth of Spring, the birds sing of their anxious wait for the comfort of her petals,
She is free.
And as the cotton candy dizzily gathers in the candy store windows of her childhood dreams,
She is free.
And as I tied back my hair this morning and pulled at the laces on my shoes and painted my lips with my favorite shade of happiness,
I closed my eyes and batted my lashes as my head filled with the music of
I am free.

Speaking to her
Freezes the brain
With a warmth forgotten
From an age of ice

She tells me so much
About myself
It's a sad story
Filled with luck to one who
Found something more terrifying
And almost as beautiful
As all she is.

Blessings
Shook me in her words
Faith
Filled me,
Separated me
Pasts were forgotten
She brought me future.

Maybe I'll tell her,
I've done scarier things
Faced monsters
Walked for years
She scares me more than the life of a beggar
Than bullets
Than more torture.

I know
I want
I need
What she has
Eh
I'm not too stubborn to admit that
I was afraid of losing you-
so I held you tightly in the palms of my hands
as you fell through my fingertips,
and into the hands of another.

-k.w//you always called me stubborn
A man with a hood
With promising words
Carried a small sword
Just in case he needed to
But he chose to use the weapon of unity instead
He had the choice, and he chose the right
Decades of dealing with corrupted taint
He brought the buckets of paints
And started slowly coloring
He was imprisoned for his beliefs
But that didn't stop him from being the man he wanted to be
Unlike the rest, his flavored words hold truth
When the world wanted black and white, he mixed the paintbrushes
And did not go down without a fight
He took over every podium
And showed his mixed colors of unity.
Brother to sister, white to black
He took of his hood and said hatred was what he lacked.
A political poem that connects with events in real life. I hope you're able to connect the pieces together.
I fell for a girl with a glass heart
And watched as she  
Slowly fell apart
Picking up the pieces
And putting her back together
Meant knowing that she
Wouldn't do the same
No matter how much I helped her
Despite the cuts she left
On my hands
I wouldn't have wished
For he to be made of gold
Because instead of being
A caring canvas
I would have been the coal
Sacrificed in order
To make her glow
It's sad to think
that at one point in time,
I truly believed
I deserved the love you gave me.

But I've since realized my worth,
and bruised wrists
and crossed boundaries
are something
I never should have known.

So don't think for a second
that I miss you,
because I am so beyond
my unrequited love.

-k.w//unrequited love

I know...
I am not one of the pages of your book
or the words in your poem
But...
I will tirelessly watch over you from every nook.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the potrait you are painting
or the inspiration behind your masterpieces
But...
in my heart , it is your name I am engraving.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the reason for your smiles
or the tickles of your laughter
But...
for you, I would walk a thousand miles.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not your shining star
or the light in your life
But...
till forever is through, I'll admire you from afar.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the one your heart beats for
or the one you desire
But...
my hearts says as long as it brings you happiness,
it wants nothing more.

I know I am your never
**but you will forever be my always...
"Every feeling unreturned has its own rainbow."
Let your heart lead the way...

I could never fathom
Why she chose to love you
In subtle shadows
Where she was but invisible

I could never fathom
Why she let herself
Drown in bed, thinking of you
But not tell you so

I could never fathom
Why she kept her words
Forever dreaming
She has said all to you

I could never fathom
Why she draws a line
When in truth, she, o she
Wants to cross and be with you

But mostly,

I could never fathom
Why you said you'll wait for her
But threw her heart
And gave yours to someone else

I could never fathom
Why you made her feel
Everything was real but
Forget it all after she left

I could never fathom
Why now she is a secret lover
Who can freely live and love another
But won't bother to do so anyway

I could never fathom
Why she chose to love you.
I could never fathom
Why I chose to love you
