HURRICANE
Shy Patterson Jan 2019
When I'm alone I think of all the things you did to do me wrong, I think about how the best choice is to move on. I think about how much I love you but the effort & spark is gone. How I'll never be the same because your arms were my home. That's when I start to panic wondering what the future holds. So use to living life with you, not alone. I always had you to depend on, you were my backbone. You picked me up out the holes I emotionally dug, then filled them up with your comfort and love. I just don't understand how you could do so much, just to turn around and **** it all up. Biggest question is when and where did it all go wrong? Were you putting on a front all along? Now I'm in my head contemplating the past non stop, because I still love you but I don't know you are. I look into your eyes and end up lost. I miss you all the time even when your by my side. Thinking of the days you were loyal and treated me right. I wanna believe you when you say you regret it all, that you want me, only me, that your willing to move forward even if we have to crawl. Truthfully I'm scared to even get back up because I fell so hard. I thought I always knew how it felt to have a broken heart, until the day we completely fell apart. It was pain I was unfamiliar to, weird because pain was all I knew. The most mind ******* part of it all was how this new pain was caused by you. The only person I had in this whole ******* world, that was suppose to love me and fight away all the hurt. You knew all my problems, you sat and listened, told me that you truly understood and willing to help me solve them. You kissed my scars and your love kissed my shattered heart. I trusted you, I finally let down my guard. I let you in and gave you a key to it all. I handed you my heart in a box topped with a bow, because I was convinced you could handle it, I let you gain complete control. You promised on the rainy days you'd except me as I was, you'd hold my hand and wait for the sun. I never would of thought that you would ever allow such disaster to form, after I found out what you did, I couldn't cope at all. Under the pressure I finally said **** it all. I've felt the depression and coldness countless times before, only, those were the days you were right there waiting to catch me so I couldn't fall. This time it was different, you crossed your arms and shut me off. Rough and rude you destroyed me, I became violent to protect myself and destroyed whatever was in my way. I was hit in my home with no where to go. I didn't want to cry anymore, numbing my feelings with hopes to die inside. It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't right. I wasn't able to stop, I couldn't, I didn’t know how. Often thought of you but then that just encouraged it more. Stuck in the middle of the cyclone that helped me fight & rebuild my walls. Hurricane heartbreak is what I'm called. Isn't it so ******* crazy how it started though? I guess I can’t blame you though, should’ve known better than to trust, it was never love only lust. Now I’ve got a hurricane in my head, heart and soul. Beautiful disaster, heartbroken hurricane messed up my world.

Clockwork
Shy Patterson Dec 2018
Like clockwork I watch the sun rise, consciously breathing & preparing for whatever awaits. Hours & hours pass. soon darkness creeps. stars begin to dance as the moon starts to speak, the soothing sound of silence floods my thoughts, as I aspire to rest my anxious soul. introspection seeps. so much in life one must comprehend. every route I’ve taken has turned out a dead end. Night to day, day to night, I continue this quest as only the best me I could possibly try to be, in hopes I’ll find my purpose & succeed. Contemplating deep, I wish to seek opportunities in growth & stability. Praying that peace is possible & so is sanity. tick tock, tick tock, times up, here comes the sun. My mind slowly slips & it’s gone. Staying strong, until again, the moon shows his face, smiles & says “everything will be okay” in darkness you’ll come to light, like clockwork, day & night.

Charlie
Shy Patterson Dec 2018
It’s like I'm waiting for a letter with directions on how to get it right, a golden ticket to life, but Im not Charlie & this isn't the chocolate factory. But ***** Wonka once said everything isn't what it seems. Knew **** wasn't gum drops & lollipops, it was bitter before it was sweet. your goals & hopes are only dreams, ambition turns them to reality. The limit really doesn't exist, lil Charlie was scared shitless as he saw that elevator reach the top & didn't stop, until it broke that glass & continued to fly, opened his eyes saw his potential differently as he climbed the clouds in the sky, it was a better view. Every tooth became sweet, picked up a habit like a dope fein, only difference is it was benefiting, the high endured was from endorphins & dopamine.
