Every inane, ignorant, stupid, barbaric, primitive conversation you're hearing at the check out line you're counting on your fingers to see if it adds up to 10 and figuring you can always make you're you are when it adds up to 9.

Thanks Harriet for the inspiration

You never knew

You never knew

I hide my pain
Behind laughters

Making jokes
About you and her
Like I don't care

Sleepless nights
Planning so that
She'll be yours

"This is what
best friends are for,"
I whispered

You grinned
In gratitude

Everything's okay

I just can't
Let you get hurt

Even if it means
Hurting myself

I saw you
Confessing your love
To her

As she threw her arms
Around your neck
And kissed you

I smiled
As my heart cracked

Eyes filled
With unshed tears

feelings

I hate it
When I feel
Like maybe secretly
Nobody really cares
I'm so deprived
So I imagine
That they do

Don't

Zara

Don't

You don't know
What it's like

To be sneered at
To be judged

For your looks
Your body size
Your height
Your intelligence
The whole idea of yourself

How would you
Even come close
To understanding
When you were born perfect
Unlike me

That's something
You'll never ever understand

So don't act
Like you "get" me
'Cause you *don't

Compassion & Sincerity.

Compassion & Sincerity.

All the world does
is take.

Even when I have nothing to give.

I am so worn out and jaded,
that my senses of
compassion
and sincerity
are simply
withering away.

It is sad to admit
that the truth is,

I will be worth so much more
when I am
dead.

Feeling weird lately.

Sin

Sin

Funny that I'm the tease when
Men's eyes trace my body like
This outline is their divine right.
I haven't prayed much lately,
But when I do I ask what, dear God,
If Eve is the mother of sin then what,
Is man?

Diabetes

To the one up in the sky
I know you might be busy
But I need you to hear me.

I know I haven't believed in you much before
And I apologize
But if you're really there
And you can really make miracles happen,
I need you to hear me.

My cousin needs you, tonight
And maybe writing my thoughts in a poem
Can construct my ideas of how you can help me.

He is lying alone
And he's living off monitors.
He needs you now more than ever.
I need you to hear me.

Help him find his way.
Help him recuperate.
Help him see the light of day.
I need you to help him.
I need you to hear me.

*And in these moments of anxiety and helplessness
I find myself praying to a God I don't even know exists

Is Eye Contact Tough For You?

Is Eye Contact Tough For You?

Sometimes he let his eyes rest on hers, it needn't have been painful,
but it strangely was.
He broke a lifetime of avoiding eye contact to show her.
She was worth overcoming obstacles for.

My Punishment for Loving You

My Punishment for Loving You

So many dreams of you at night,
so many words that which I could write.

I've loved you once, I've loved you twice.
Love was the feeling, but my actions never right.

I went about things in all of the wrong ways.
My behavior punished you, each and every day.

I’d like to apologize to you, if I may.
I know you’ll never listen, much to my dismay.

Your life will continue and in love with you I’ll stay,
regretting my decisions as I watch you walk away.

I can fasten on a smile and live my life in vain;
though, no matter what I do, in love I still remain.
