my mother and I
imparo Oct 27
My mother and I
Rarely see eye to eye
It's frustrating sometimes
The way that we are.

But I'd never ask
For any more or less
I like the way we are
The good and the grit.

the cost of indecision
imparo Sep 30
And in the midst of
clinging to both
Undecided of
which hand to hold
You have ended up
losing them both
In trying to hold on to everything, one may end up with nothing

just in case
imparo Aug 2023
i know it's unfair
to have left you there
yet, silently wish
you would still have me
in case my mind changed.

you are not special
imparo May 2022
you are not special
you are not the only one who has problems
or feels lonely and depress

you are not special
you're not the only one who thinks about quitting
feels not good enough and sleeps the night crying

you are not special
you are not the only one who thinks about it
ending everything with a rope or a blade

you are not special
you are not the only one who feels alone
taken for granted, set aside and misunderstood

you are not special
you're not the only one who feels hopeless
helpless, useless and lifeless

you are not special because trust me
i feel you, I get you, I AM you.
so you are NOT special.
when life gets a little tough just know that God did not single pointedly made you feel all those negative feelings and thoughts. We, humans feel all those feelings and think all those thoughts at some point in our lives. You will get through it!

coward
imparo Nov 2020
Every step you take towards me
I take three steps back away from you
I just can't, I don't have it in me
To just stand still
And let you get closer to me
I just can't, I don't have it in me
To take the step towards you
And meet you halfway
I just can't even if I wanted to
I just can't, I don't have it in me.

what is the point of being deep
    if nobody dares to dive its depth?

Beast
imparo Jan 2020
While I was fighting the beast
I loathe the most
I became just that
And I didn't even realize
'til I saw the look in their eyes.

Blank Paper
imparo Jan 2020
I badly want to make you
understand how I feel
I'm holding a pen and a paper,
ready to spill the ink
But as soon as the words
land on the sheet
The letters slowly fade
and I'm back
with a blank paper once again.

Snippet #1
imparo Jan 2020
You didn't know how you should ask,
I didn't know how I should tell
And so, things didn't work out well.

See Through
imparo Sep 2019
I'm in a bad place right now
All I could see are chaos and blood
And while you keep telling me
It's going to be alright
I keep trying so
But I just couldn't see through.

Small Bird in a Cage
imparo Sep 2019
I am a small bird,
thirsty to explore the world.
I've got small wings,
seeking for the touch of the wind.

I hop and hop, but I never go so far,
my head keeps bumping on a bar.
I am feed well, yes, but I'll never grow
living in this cage I've always known.

A Secret Affair
imparo Sep 2019
You and I
have a story
behind closed doors,
sneaking at night,
stealing kisses,
secretly holding hands.

But you and I
both know
this story
shall never be told
not even to a single soul.

— The End —
