All can be lost when nations divide
It can lead to the loss of this thing called faith
We take a chance on staying alive
But it all could end in a world of hate.
When seeing people living on the street
Arms reaching out with empty plates
Struggling each day to make ends meet
Where the poverty net decides there fate.
And then we see the rich and the famous
They are making it big and living a dream
Even those dreams can often be aimless
For fame and fortune is not what it seems.
Our minds can turn to empty thoughts
And dought it seems are the seeds we sow
We often ignore what religion has tought
Saying tell us just how do we know.?
Dought creeps in our minds once more
Making our hopes to lose its flow
Now there's no goal to be aiming for
And their is no place for us to go
This is a hypothetical poem
A lot of folk I know look at all the wars
And poverty and Homeless and say
If there is a god why doesn't he stop all of this
Hence we can often feel their is no hope.
Not all of us feel this way it's just how some of us may feel
Some will say mankind brings it on himself.
Just a thought I wish not to offend anyone.
We all have a view point.

It’s Time...

To forget what sand had stirred
in the dark of night.

To empty the dregs left stagnant
of yesterday’s wine.

To see as though through lenses
brand new.

To discard the tethers that had
bound us tight, skin to spine.

Moments

A moment astray...

Like the bite off the fruit
you weren’t suppose to take.
But tasted so good.

A moment of folly...

One that you’re disgusted with,
yet so proud you took that step
out of the circle.

A moment of recklessness...

That took you on a trip so stellar
that it seemed to last an eternity.
You make the mistake of blinking...
then all is lost.

A moment of reflection...

A string that threads through all
those moments...
And bound unto you.
Keeping you from falling apart.
Keeping you together and whole,
so that more moments

could be made.

When I was 10 my mum Told me that
I was special
The Next day was the First time
she told me to shut up
When I was 14 my Friends told me that
I was funny
The Next day I Heard them laugh about me
And when I was 16
You told me I was beautiful
You told me you loved me
You told me you would do anything for me
But I did not believe you
Because I learnt that people don't mean
What they say
And I did not want to get disappointed again

Sorry to disappoint you, mother, father
But I'm not your daughter
Sorry classmates, I'm not a her
I'm a sir.
I've spread these wings, I'm ready for flight
And if necessary, I'm ready to fight
I'm sick and tired of hiding
I'm through with denying
This is me
I will be true to my heart
Nothing will shatter my pride apart.
I'm a boy. I'm a man.
And someday family, I hope you understand.
I wrote this and I'm gonna start posting more trans and queer related stuff woo!

"How can you care about the world so much? After all of the things that happened to you? After all of the things you've been through?" he asked, letting his fingertips leave echoes on her skin.

"I'd want someone to love me the same way." Was all she said, as she looked up at the twinkling stars and thought about how vast the universe must be.
Not a poem but...

I lie here, so far
From the stars above,
Where my hopes harboured,
I lie here, so far,
From my home, my world
Where my soul resides.
And I lie here, so far
Away from all.

I belong from a city,
Too small for you all.
And somewhere there in a corner,
You'll find my heavenly abode.
The lights must have went off soon,
A little sooner today.
With hearts fill of worries,
They too must have been missing sleep,
Like me.
I lie here, so far
In a city of million dreams,
Where I'm in an endless search of hiding myself.
Of lights that never go off here,
I still have my dark space,
A little lesser than my heart I would say,
For light isn't allowed inside my heart today.

I left home, leaving behind all.
My heart that cries every now and then,
But miles that stretch long, between us,
Might erase our love of ages, I fear.
But I forgot,
No harm is greater than a harm of a human to another.
And so they could change our words and play with our minds too.
I pity them, poor souls.

I lie here, so far.
Away from all.
I could walk away, further more.
I could walk away so far,
To never come back home.
I could,
If my brother, my little heart wouldn't have waited,
For me.
How would he be made understood, when I'm gone?
That I walked away, for a reason too small?
For humans?

I wish,
I could stand strong in the strongest of winds,
To roar after the storm ends,
To awake every human mind of sleep,
To make them know,
"Love is a virtue,The purest of all,
Not a sin, my dear all".

Sometimes this world is just too much to take
So it should be easy for you to see my mistake
Now I'm finally at peace
So my soul I shall release.
If you understand, I'm sorry. Stay strong dear friend. I'm tired..
