I'm
I'm a man but also a boy.
I'm mature but childish.
I'm stupid while being quick witted, a fat man with the confidence of one perfectly fitted.
The rebel fronting as a prep.
The smile covering the fear of death.
The frown covering the happiness of life while my shadow can eclipse the universe of all light.

I'm free now but more trapped than ever.
It's ended, gone and over.
My heart is crushed, beaten and slower.
Four years of hard work commitment and pain, my skin showing those scars to show my shame.

I'm a liar, a badman, I'm to blame.
I try to much or to little its never the same.
How can I ignore them when every year I have to write, speak, and hear their name.
I will never understand how our strength turned me lame forcing me to learn that the fight of my life was a game with nothing to gain.

I'm a man....but sometimes I feel like nothing.
Shattered dreams of feeling love and a part of something.
How do you go from the loves of each others lives to feeling nothing but sadness and resent inside.

I'm a loveless romantic.
All the tricks I know love I can show but all I ever get is we are done and you can go.

I feel so used.
My soul is abused.
I knew everything when I was with her... now I'm scared and confused.

I'm the one who was trying to make it work.
I'm the one who is shedding tears and being hurt.
How come I'm the one who feels cursed?
Always came second never came first.
Maybe this is the time I'm giving up the search.
Reflection on my ex who ended it after 4 years. I was saving for a ring and she ended it all. These are the thoughts that came with my self doubt.

Dont love her.
Because
She will
Love you more than herself.
Give more than what you deserve.
Ignore her pride for you.
Give you letters.
Do surprises.
Kiss you unexpectedly.
Hug you at your weakest.
Care for you and your fam.

Dont love her
Because
She will not
Expect you to love her more than yourself.
Ask you to give the world.
Expect you to lower your pride.
Force you to write her a universe.
Demand for surprises.
Seek for attention more than you give for family.
Request for hugs and kisses.

Just dont love her.
If you cant keep her.
Please dont.
If you'll just let go of her.

Hush. . . no one must know
That I am at war with my own mind.
No one must know
That I am fighting a losing battle,
Stuck in a brain that wants me dead.

For how long I can keep it up
Only God knows.
But I will probably be dead
Before anyone even begins to wonder.
But hush. . . no one must know.
This poem describes how depression makes you ashamed and scared of your own mind.  How incredibly lonely it is to keep it all inside but not having the courage to let anyone know your DARK secret.

Like oxygen the human body needs it
In order to survive; In order to exist.
It nourishes and sustains the part of us hidden away from the world - our souls.

Without hope our souls shrivel up and die
And leaves a dark hole inside of us,
Making us question our own existence.

Her:K
Him:?
Her:What do you want?
Him:For you to be happy
Her:K
Him:Are you happy?
Her:Sure
Him:I'm sorry. My heart isn't anything. You are my art. Everything I do is for you. I'm a fool for loving you. I truly try to show my love. But everytime you fly away like a dove. So beautiful and pure. I love you. I hate you. But I still need you. I want you to be happy. So I'll do everything until you are happy.
Her:K
Him: Bye :( I love you
Her:K
I woke up a villian from my worst nightmare
Too scared to defend those that really matter
Seeing the heroes of the story
And watching all their dreams shatter
Weaponless against the clock
That just keeps ticking
If time is all that really matters
Then why am I still breathing?
I can't control the emotionless toll it takes on my mind
I'll never be brave enough to try and turn back time
It ticks a little faster whenever I'm running late
And slows down completely when I try to test fate
On a date with the mastermind behind all my evil plans
He's death incarnate but still proud of my artistic scams
And yet I find myself feeling ashamed of who I am
