the art of poetry
    like any art
produces better work
when writers are not only
erudite but also smart

the lovers' painful state
upon loss or desertion
is voiced much more impressively
with less dramatic flourish
and more of the grate
that finishes the sword
at the old blacksmith's fire
where the hot flame of our desire
    thrown into water
with a defiant hiss
turns into deadly steel
ready to **** and ******
     friend or foe or lover
in our desperate search
     for exits from the mire

or take the unexpected loss
    of victory that seemed so close
    on a wild battlefield
when suddenly the hero's gallant steed
    falls victim to a hostile archers shot
and its proud rider is reduced to shout
"A kingdom for a horse!"
rather than holding a long monologue
    about the treachery of fate

in  short
less is oft' more
and lets the readers fill the empty spaces
with their own images and graces

I admire those girls who have their guys "whipped."
Those girls who expect nothing less than the best, and always get it what they want.
Personally, I feel like guys only like me because I'm easy to please.
I don't require fancy dates, expensive things, I don't make guys pay for my food, I offer to drive.
I'm easy.
It's not like I don't want a nice date, flowers, and something a little more romantic than the back of your mom's car.
I accept what I get, and don't ask for more, because I don't think I deserve it.

Quoted from one of my favorite movies  Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower  “We accept the love we think we deserve.”
I wish I had Meghan Trainors attitude towards relationships
Here I sit alone in the dark
Thinking what tomorrow will bring
Thinking what type of future I'm going to have, thinking how I'm going to make ends meets and trying to stay positive.

Here in the dark I sit and wonder why my life is the way it is, and how I wish to run away, then it knocks me and I'm scared and alone in the dark saying o **** this is my life full of darkness, full of regret ,full of neglect.

Here alone in the dark I wish my family was close so I can go sit next to them and cry and knowing everything will be ok , but no my life is not a box of chocolates.

Being alone in the dark is my only friend thank you lonsim thank you dark this is who I am and nothing can change it.
All alone and afraid
Times
There are times for love
There are times for joy
There are times for hate and time for tears
My time is running out I have nowhere to run I only wish time could be turned back and rewind
My time of life has ups and downs
My times of life have heartbreaks and tears
The only time I'm counting is the time that above gives me.

I felt so much for you, and it's clear you felt so little for me. Emotionally, you make me feel like ****.
Throw back Thursday; Something I wrote when I was 14.  I was a very emotional person, for one specific human being.  I'm glad I'm over that stage.
As the sun goes down and the moon comes up, I prepare my night by laying my son down to bed.
                                               Watching him, Staring at him oh god what a wonderful gift you have given me. He makes me mad when he becomes a rebels, he cheers me up with a simple tickle, he makes me smile when things seem  bad  he makes me look forward for the next day

Oh god what a perfect gift
His laugh makes me laugh silly
His jokes are more funnier than mine He makes me whole everyday no matter how hard life can be My son makes me the person I am today thank you lord for my wonderful gift.
Never think life is over when you know you living for that one special person
I lost a part of me today
A best friend I thought would stay.

At my worst moment in time,
They just vanished without a sign.

Left without a word to say,
As I lay there with my soul astray.

And with no one else to turn,
I felt their presence slowly burn.

Although my best friend is now gone,
I must find strength to carry on.

For if they where a true best friend,
They would be there till the end.
it's not what you say
but what you choose not to
that stabs at my heart

Don't trust your beauty
After a fire you can say i am ugly
Don't trust your power
After a paralysis you can say i am weak
Don't trust your money
After a theft you can say i am poor
Don't trust your knowledge
After a conference you can say i am ordinary
Don't trust them fake sincerity you can say i am dupe
Graves showed something to me
These are dead people ...
Finally i understood
Don't trust to world because
Life is a big lie
When you closed your eyes
You can say a big WHY !!!
Life is a big question most of people didnt try to solve it
