and the family.
read a bedtime story.
made love, in a desultory way, while watching telly.
went to bed.
and still.....
in that, there was poetry,
if you look....
between the lines.
i am not who I think i am
but for a moment i was who i wish i could be

i was in class when it began
a clap of thunder and a bolt of lightning shook the sky

i walked out with my head held high
and smiled when the first droplets met my face

i laughed when a puddle soaked my shoes through and through
the feeling of clear, cold water settling on my *****, warm skin

i was by myself but i was not alone
the journey became my friend, my co-conspirator

i don’t know why i did it
but i hope that i never stop feeling it
so the story behind this was that it started raining during school and I dreaded having to walk back to my car in the rain but it turned out to be very a fun and nostalgic experience
They cant see my scars
I dont want them ever knowing
that their happy little girl died.
How dissapointing would it be
to know that in her place is
a person that would rather take
8 pills and drowned herself in her tears
than come to them for help.
I can't understand why I cry at the thought of something that does not even exist
I guess it's the idea of a love that's lost that takes it's toll on a sacred mind as this
(C) Maxwell 2014
Who am I?
And what can I be?
The potential I hold
Has the power to shape me

What can I do
With the time I've been given
To find all the answers
That this universe has kept hidden

Who am I
But a man searching for truth
To know the unknown
And see the unseen

Who am I
And what can I be
Than all that I am
All that I see

This universe is one with me
I fake a smile and carry on with my day
No one questions me not even a bit
No one asks me if I'm alright because
They assume my smile says it all
But when they ask I say 'I'm fine' and
Move on with my day
I'm always relieved there are no follow up questions
But there are times I wish there were
There are times I wish someone cared enough
To know the real me
Not the happy girl everyone sees
No more like **the broken girl I really am
