The world told me to cry,
but i still smiled.
The world told me to die,
but I am still alive.
The world told me stay quiet,
but I still fight.
But sometimes the world is right,
that's why I lied.

The
arrow
split air to get to me
the
arrow
split hair to get to me
the
arrow hit me in the head
you
blind
fool
💔
True story hence love is blind
Cupid was actually blind
You shouldn't want "everyone" to stay.
You should only crave the needles in the hay.
Let the others walk,
and find others
to betray.

I write this poem
Because I have a question
A question I have been wanting to ask you
From the day that I met you

We talked and talked
Shared songs
Spoke about jobs
Read poems
Talked about school

We spoke with each other
Through messages
So I never got to know your voice
Your way of talking

You might see where I am going
So I'll ask it directly
Will you meet me
Over a cup of coffee?

Sad
i said i am okay
but my heart was crying river of tears

i lied
and forgot my eyes already told the truth
Very broken in a way which I no longer know how to feel. Am feeling sad and that's not the way I want to feel but the joy present can't shine through the dark clouds of sadness
Growing up you're always taught the dangers of substance abuse

but no one warns you of experimenting with love
On my way to hell
Got nothing but my soul to sell
I know where I’ve been
Forgive me for all my sin
Bring me down, down to the ground
Can you feel the fire
It burns deep inside
Twisting, turning, like an unforgiving tide
She bleeds so pure, as she’s falling to the floor
It’s over, it’s done
Gone forever more

— The End —
