your pride tries to optimize
my persona, to suit your needs,
and if it doesn't, you criticize...
Yet, you're good enough...

your prejudice makes you
suspect even my good deeds,
and you demean me for them too....
Yet, you're good enough...

your control freakiness
makes you restrict me
even if i act right...
Yet, you're good enough...

your self centeredness
wants me to fit in the standards,
you define and ever-changing ...
Yet, you're good enough...

the veil of your hatred
doesn't let you see
my love and concern for you...
Yet, you're good enough...


Sometimes people have personality traits, difficult to deal with, but still they are good enough. Better to be grateful for their positive side

In the end
We can pretend
It never happened

Maybe I’m so drawn to the dead and dying
because, by that point, they’ve stopped lying

Heavy Hearted
Prove to me

That there's no twilight galaxy

Sing it to me-

always I search.

Put me down.

Lead me away, through confusion

Pain and fear will follow
But at least we'll be together.

Pain and fear will follow-
So put me down.

You tuck my hair behind my ear
I tuck that memory in my pocket

now my hair falls in my face
sight compromised
because you're not there

wet salty hair

As the spider is
to the fly stuck in its web
that is the system

Perdue Poems
The sun in morning sits
Not to peak soon
Yet dawn is past
I've waken from slumber
And cheer the rising sun
Wanting sun's noon
Unknowing at set
I will wish
For my dawn back
