i believe love is
in the simple things,
the routine of our lives,
the things we do everyday
and that have become so ordinary,
we no longer notice them.
tell me, how many nights
do you see the stars and wish
you could count them?
when did you last feel the rain?
and when you say their name,
how often do you try to taste it
in your mouth?
love happens on the days
you are aware of beauty.
love happens when she looks at you
for a few minutes and kisses you,
slowly, carefully,
as if it could break her heart,
as if she'd been waiting all her life,
as if it was the first time.

I'm Losing

I'm Losing

I'm losing
All the happiness, sadness, anger and bliss
I just exist
No emotion
No reaction
I don't feel compassion, pity, or sorrow
But I don't see a problem
I see less room for hurt, betrayal and pain
I'm losing all feelings
If they're felt my face doesn't show it
I enjoy being numb
It's a happy life
I'm losing
And loving it

The Moon

I guess I'm not as great
As people really say I am
Because if I truly was
Wouldn't loving me be their plan?

It's odd and confusing
When people tell you they love you
But don't even want to talk
Or interact like they used to

Embarrassment is an understatement
When they tell you it's them
We all know that's a lie
A cop out, you win

There comes a certain point
You have to dust off your hands
Get rid of the past
And make different plans

I don't want to feel love
I don't want to feel hate
I'll just hand over the reigns of life
And leave it up to fate

I am so tired of feeling this way
Hopefully one day soon
Waking up won't be impossible
For now my only friend is the moon

Sleeping forever sounds nice. At least I have my dreams.

Life

Some people are insecure
About their ****** features
Their nose
Their eyes
Their chin
Their ears
Their mouth
Maybe others are insecure
With their body type
Perhaps they don't like
Their arms
Their legs
Their ****
Their chest
Their stomach
And so on
A few are destined to hate
Their distraught mind
The one that makes them go
Nuts
Their thoughts get them in trouble
With themselves
With their family
With their friends
With their peers
Some folk tend to really
Self critique
Self judge
Self hate
To the point of destruction
I wish some people could realize
That they're beautiful in another person's eyes
And the things that they hate
Are the things we others love

I'm guilty too.

Help

Help
draw me a smile
tattoo it on my face
cut it into my flesh if that's what it takes to make it stay in place
Help
write me a fairy tale
make my prince come to life
sew his eyes shut if that's what it takes to keep other women out of sight
Help
sculpt me a body
make it skin and bone
regurgitate my dinner if that's what it takes to keep me thin
Help
sing me a luliby
make me feel at ease
****** me in my sleep if that's what it takes to finally give me peace

I'm no writer.
No artist,
No scientist,
No mathematician.
I'm not a genius.
No Galileo,
No Einstein,
No Freud.
I am who I am.
Weird,
Self-conscious,
Caring.
I may not be rich,
Or own an expensive car,
Or buy expensive clothing,
Or live in a glorious home filled with expensive belongings.
I am happy where I am,
With what I have,
With who is with me,
With my life.
I've learned that the most important things
Are not materials,
Not who owns how much of what,
Not how much smarter he is than she.
I believe the most important things
Are what we love,
Who we love,
And the love we have for ourselves.
And I believe
That believing all of this
Is what makes life important.
