I unfriended you on Facebook,
unfollowed on twitter & instagram
All because you were
and now you’re not my man

I hesitated at first
I truly didn’t want to
But I had no choice
as soon as we were through

Cause the pain I feel is real
from our last breakup fight
You left me all alone
crying through the night

So why would I stay friends?
What I want we cannot be
You seem to think it's fine
despite the hurt you caused me

Now my mind’s consumed
by all our memories
Our laughs, your kisses & smile
just feels like a distant dream

How is it that I thought our love
was an amazing rarity?
Instead it was a messed up fate
controlled by insecurity

But even so I lay in bed
depressed, without a plan
All because I thought you were
and now you’re not my man

Sometimes
you just need to
scream.

Sometimes
crying is the
answer.

Eventually
you will be
happy.

There is
someone
who cares.

You may feel
as if nobody
does.

You'd be surprised.

You are a
human being.
Not an  object.

Do not let
anybody
treat you
like their toy.

There is life in you.
You bring life to others.
Others need you
in their life to live.

Like a forest
with no trees,
Without you
there is no life.

Like a beach
with no sun,
without you
brightness is absent.

Whatever it is
Whatever is wrong
Put it behind you.

You are important.
Someone needs you
just like you need
someone.

Don't give up.
Things get better.

Wanting, waiting, wishing
if only you could see.
I gaze, I craze, I change my ways
hoping you will notice me.

For I am no beauty queen,
far from it at the least.
handsome you are but not am I
My chance has been decreased

You would probably find me crazy
if you found out how I have felt.
But who is to blame for this one?
Love cannot be dealt.

I am no good with relationships.
But love, I can offer it.

Give me a pen,
I will write you a novel.
Give me a boat,
I will sail you across the seven seas.

Just give me your affection,
and pull me close.
I can give you my fragile heart
if you promise to love me your most.

Life is like a boat
and sure people may have yachts
while we're on our row boats
but we're all sailing the same ocean
fighting the same current
the same storms
we're all enduring the same desolate waters
So I vowed to be the boat
the one to lend a hand
when the troubles of life
feel as if they're drowning you
under the cold lonely waters.

And to those who already sunk
to those who feel as if there's no hope
because it's dark and cold
at the bottom of the unforgiving ocean
Well guess what
I'll be going scuba diving
to pick you right up
regardless of how deep you are
and you're going to carry all the treasures
you've found lying on the sands
Because baby the world is your oyster
so I want you to bring along all your ideas
all your emotions and all your pain
I want you to embrace it
because I'll be there offering my hand
since we're all surfing
                                   the
                                        same
                                                current.
Random thoughts when I get tired of school :)

The beauty of a woman
is in the poems she's wrote,
the dreams she's weaved
and all the stories she's told.

The beauty of a woman
is in the adventures she's taken,
the lives she's touched
and all the minds she's awakened.

The beauty of a woman
is in the caring she gives,
the sincerity in her laughter,
and the passion in her griefs.

It's not the expensive clothes she owns,
her body size, the diamonds she's worn.
Measure not the beauty of woman in gold,
for the beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.
Dedicated to all women out there with an amazing mind and a beautiful soul. We are the gift of nature, soft enough to touch the core of others and strong enough to protect that and those important to us. I love you all. Believe in yourself and the world will believe in your power.

I'm honored to have it as the daily poem.
