Dealing with being replaced
It's a different beast
It's not that your less then
or that your not as good
It's simply means your value is to costly
So they found a cheaper one
It's just as painful and frustrating
No warning no heads up
So yes it's difficult
Your left with now what
Your left with nothing
Your trust issues resurface
Your belief in what you invested your time is ..
it's gone just like that
So here , I am now
trying to deal with this beast

i believe poetry is one of the many
reasons i am still here living life

my blood and bones cannot rest
until i have the chance to present

every detail i need to pronounce
greatly to crowds of great masses

I've Walked a Myriad of country roads
Places that are nowhere and everywhere

I've stepped into the deep and endless woods
Therein a billion tall, slender spirits

Old souls watched as I walked in between them
Patches of daylight played in fluttered spats

Bright daylight, it cuts into eyes and mind
Like memories fixed in a Déjà vu

Hidden beneath the mosiac floor, a love
Shining brightly as an October day

I've Watched leaves tumbling down from perfect skies
like soft kisses between falling dancers

Just as my heart tumbles out of its' place
recalling falling leaves and soft kisses

She laid alone in a bed meant for two
She laid alone and
wanted only to see the one
she loved the most
her stomach eating away
at her flesh from the inside out
a consuming fire
a fire
flames licking at her back
flames that licked her scars
she waits around for him to come back

April is full of beauty
when water arrives from evening storms;
They bring life to us truly,
with that, our planet transforms.
Seeing Spring arrive is so beautiful.

Under the light of the moon.
You’re still a mystery to me.

And every night in my dreams I wonder
if you hear the soundtrack of my soul.
Like I hear yours.

Please know, You’re never alone.
Just continue to bloom.
As I will too.

Until then, I’ll search these
muddy waters for you.
My lotus love.
a deep abyss awaits,
with hues of blue and red above,
as the horizon devours the sun,
amidst the salt and sand,

a fisherman
melts into the stupor,
of this serenity toxified,
by smell of the exuberant waves

while the red sun,
slits the blue skies throat,
the fisherman dreams of drowning,
of kissing the waiting abyss,

of floating lifelessly,
in the ocean full of life,
he dreams to return to his friend,
to his father, to his deities,

just to be reborn again,
as a wave,
as a kraken,
as a breeze,
that never dies.

I don't really know what i'm writing
But I know I needed an outlet,
I'm feeling down these days,
And I came to a point that dying was the best option
However, I have to fight, I needed to live
For my dreams and for my future
I still have no idea what i'm writing
But I know writing helps
It may not ease the pain
But it will slowly heal my wounds
I don't know, i'm hopeless
