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.

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.

I want to write in a silent night
Holding my pen in a white sheet
I looked so uptight-dripping black ink.
Just can't think.

A dark clouds dispersing my mind
A big storm is coming
There must be an exit,
just can't find.

It washed everything away
Thoughts clambering on a trench
It's in the tip of the tounge,
just can't say.

The feelings were trapped
In an empty room so cold and dark
A shudder from horror,
just can't pray.

Squiggle! Squiggle!
Crumpled papers on the floor,
I badly want to find a door
Ugh, just can't write!

she                                                        
writes a list
of all the things
    she hates about herself
in just one word:

everything
                                             ­                    he
                                                 writes a list
                                          of all the things
                             he loves about her                  
                                       in just one word:

                                               *everything
I painted my sorrow with words
And wrote a couple of letters.

They read my pain and said,
*****, you are a writer

Adele
You won't see the tears
crawling out of my eyes
You won't see me drown
on the sea of sadness
Because when I look
In your eyes,
not even a spark
or explosion ignites
No galaxies to explore
in the depths inside
No, you won't even stop me
And if you tell me
you'll miss me,
you don't need to lie
because I'm leaving and
you won't even say goodbye.*
