From a broken home
I'm left all alone
Escaping words
Inside my tattered soul
Bleeding wounds
From depths unknown
My heart hurts
My mind is blown
Bruised bones
Aching eyes
Searching for truth
Among all the lies
I'm dying inside
Without my disguise
Tears falling south
Moon to the north
I'm breaking down
Without any worth
Holding it all in
Hiding all my scars
It's only in the black of night
That I can see all the stars
Taking steps forward is easy
       Standing still is hard
    Embrace what you have
              Stop
           To look at the stars
  Take a deep breath
                 Look,
      You've already come this far
             I'd bet my life
   **You're stronger than you think you are.

No fancy words, no subtle metaphors.
No unnecessary rhyming, no forced stanzas.
No charming characters, no outraged emotions.
No known beginning, nowhere to reach to.
No false claims, no stories to declaim.
No pretentious wisdom, no poor philosophies.
No insightful analysis, no blind remiss.
No powerful principles, no meek cries,
A plain simple poem; read it as it is
before it dies.

I wish, I might
stars in the darkest night
lying in bed with delight
as they shine so bright

In form of simplest
it seems like fearless
thoughts are limitless
and sky is my witness

Yet, I wonder from afar;
stars are truly bizarre
brightest was the north star
from where you are

Not in fright 'cause
Dreams takes flight
on this night
I wish, I might

With her back against the wall she watched
as all the other girls danced under the stars.
"Not all are meant to shine, my dear." Someone whispered in her ear.
"Some people are meant to watch others spark and come alive,
and wish that they too had the courage to step unto the light."

I'm not saying that it's not gonna hurt
Because it does
It will
It will continue to hurt every single day
He will do things that will hurt
He will say things that will hurt
He will

But it's okay
It's a risk I am willing to take
It's a risk I am willing to embrace
I'd lay it all down
Give my best shot
Because I'm in love
Because I love
And knowing that it might work would have to be enough

Why
They said she was beautiful.
For me, she was an angel.
She was divine and pure.
If God was an artist,
She were His masterpiece.
If beauty was in details,
She was perfect.
When smile kissed her beautiful lips
Even roses were shy of their existence.
When she spoke,
Cuckoo would hide in the bushes.
If Leonardo were alive,
She would have been his Mona Lisa.
“Then why did you give up on her?”
I never gave up on her.
I gave up on us.
Because she was too good to be mine.

When I imagine you.
You are not the you I see in reality.
In my dreams I see silky smooth skin.
I open my eyes and I see your burnt out fuse box grin.
Eyes shut and you have gorgeous eyes.
Eyes open and your wrinkles are enough to surprise.
My fantasy is nice flowing brown curly hair.
In real life your Hairdo has the capacity to scare!
Do I care?
No.
You are a dream out of sleep.
As....

Beauty is only skin deep!

The sky broke with thunder
as lightning cracked down tall trees
and another day turns inward
soaked with sadness and pain.

I miss you.
