Isn't it ironic,
how we tell others to stay strong,
yet we cant do it ourselves?
Everyone seems to think
I am the “master” at
solving problems but,
I can't even figure out
how to solve my own…

because sadness keeps me awake
when i should be asleep
i couldnt close my eyes
to see a crystal clear picture of what it would be like
when i held on to that burning heap

didnt know that burning heap was hotter
than the coals my feet would touch when something was slaughtered
over something that i didnt quite understand
which melted my heart to keep sobbing
into porcelain glasses that were precious
like my heart that kept throbbing

tears fall down like the window pane sound
when someone would come home
dreaming and thinking if i was ever gonna be
with someone or will i be left all alone?

chasing dreams was the reality of life
didnt know it would tire you so much
until it eats you up
like you were the last carrot on the table
which no one else wanted

but it didnt look like that
it was more than sounding flat,
or looking super fat,
more than how long you sat,
or if you looked like a rat.
but what was inside
that distinguished
who you are
and no one else would dictate that.

so much things may slap you in the face real hard
like a giants nest hitting the illegal settlers cage
until it crashes down to pieces
never gonna be put back together in its original place
but it had its chance to reinvent itself

go back up
go back up
stand on both feet up
and up up up
you are bound for something greater than the road's bump

Life

Silver linings are hard to find
A life gets ripped apart like a bad idea
Deadly moments are forever remembered
No time is spent wisely with misery
Endings are sometimes too abrupt
Stairs are hard to climb
Seas are easier to sink into anyways

Emptiness doesn't last
Negative energy will come and go
Disease gets cured
Strive for balance

Heavy fog starts to lift
And there seems to be more light
Pleasure fills the air
People are dancing
Inside my chest my heart truly beats
New blood flows through veins
Endings are new beginnings
Silver linings can be found
Souls are united once more

Even smiles turn into frowns
Necks get tired of holding heads high
Determination has forgotten its goal
Sinking into the sea

Tick tock goes the clock
Reading your watch with a sigh
Under the shade from your hat
Treating others as shadows
Haunting your every waking moment

Hugs are empty
Universal pain of betrayal
Rhythm falters
The leaves shake violently
Still, they cling to the tree, they won't fall

Lightning strikes the ones who know
Interrogating their lives
Ending their words forever
Silence

Kind words now mean nothing
Independence is the only protection
Leave behind your old life
Look at the ruins from lack of truth
Sadness ends, happiness ends, truth hurts, lies ****

Ask
If I asked
Would you answer...
If I begged
Would you accept...
If I cried
Would you belive..
If I told you
Would we...
Be lovers
In the same bed
Dreamers
That share the
Same cloud
Would my heart
Be yours
Forever
And would you
Give me your heart
To hold
For all time
Or would
These words
Written
Never be spoken
Never be answered
Never belived
And your kiss
Only a dream
Only a wish
Only a lonely fist
A missed chance
Time and again
Dreamt into something
More
Your skin
To never touch
Mine
Just empty sheets
In an empty bed
As I whisper
Your name
Myself seeps out
As lust and love
Tangle
But its not
You
On top
Of me
Just a
Mist
A ghost
A hope
Could I stop
Should I try
To end
This dream
And just
Accept
It only
Works as
A fantasy
Maybe
If I just told...
Maybe
If I just said...
Maybe
If I just ask...

— The End —
