The faces behind the masks tell,
The biggest lies.
Living fake life's needing attention.
Always having to prove they know
Everything better than you.
When it's your time to shine they
Steal your light.
Kicking you back into the shadows.
Because know if you look better than
Them they won't like it.
Watching them sitting catching rust.
Each day goes up in a puff of smoke.
Yet I am always judged on everything.
I wrote this because sometimes it's the ones who are closer to you that do the most damage
My heart is empty and numb.
The ones who should care don't care.
Would it really matter if I wasn't here?.
#matter #empty #care
Each tick of the clock gets louder.
Needed to get your face out of my head.
Tested and tormented every time.
The infatuated thoughts fill my head.

Why do you keep doing this to me?.
Bring me to my knees just for fun.
My pain is your thrill and you love it.
Sleep brings me no peace.

Tossing and turning.
Some things should never be rekindled.
Some love needs to die.
Why can't you just let these feelings die.

Your an infatuation.
Your the torment I am sick of feeling.
This maybe a game of chess.
But I am done playing.

Just go and forget me forever.
Don't look for me in someone else.
Don't be scared of failure
It's there to teach you
Not hurt you so embrace it.
I think that in the times we are living in we see failure as a bad thing but I feel we shouldn't because it helps us to learn get better and get to where we want to be
Love not hate.
Be happy don't worry.
Enjoy the moment.
Don't be scared to dream.
I have always been the glue that
Kept everything together.
The net could caught ones who fell.
The shoulder that anyone could lean on.

Maybe I don't want to be the glue
That holds everything together.
Maybe I am tired of be the net that caughts people when they fall.
Maybe find another shoulder to lean on.

Because when I needed someone to
Be my glue no one wanted to do it.
When I needed a net to catch me
They let me fall.
When I needed a shoulder to lean
On, there was no shoulder for me
To lean on.

Don't come looking for me because
I won't be there.
Don't text me because I won't text back.
Don't call me because I won't
Answer.
Don't waste time its to short and to precious.
Don't think just do it.
Don't ignore your heart just listen to it.
Don't think about tomorrow.

Have fun everyday.
Laugh until it hurts and tears fall.
Tell someone you love them.
Do that thing you keep putting off.

Don't get caught in stupid fights.
Don't grow up to fast.
Stay young for as long as you can.
Don't grow old.
I got the inspiration for the poem from my aunt who said don't grow old to me.
Behind my smile lies a rage you
Have never seen before.
So please don't push me too hard.
Sometimes you meet that one person who pushs all your wrong buttons
#don't #me #push
Sitting under a bruised sky the bitter
Sting of tears kissing my cheeks.
A love that is nothing more than a pile of dried leaves, waiting to be swept away.

Shattered dreams feeling ashamed
Feeling broken.
Its getting harder to hide black eyes
Escape planned.

Slipping out into the cold darkness the
Bitter icy chill takes my breath away.
But I am free now and I feel safe for
The first time in years.

Don't hope for things to change because they won't.
Don't make excuses for them because
There is no excuse anyone hitting
Another person.

Don't suffer in silence walk and never
Look back.
Inside I am a screaming angry mess.
Always turning the other cheek.
Walking away from arguments.
Never reacting to what people say.
Counting to ten until the anger passes.
Writing poems to keep my mind busy.
Why do I never let my anger go?.
Why do i never say what's on my mind.
Why I do i spare other peoples feelings,
When they never spare mines?.
Am i too nice or I am a door matt?.
I wrote this while I felt angry because I was told I was too nice and laid back, nice people like me never get any were so I wrote this to let my anger out
Now you are in heaven and we are worlds apart.

Do you miss me like I miss you?.
Do you wish we could meet one last time?.
Do you miss moments we shared?.
Do you miss the places we went?.
Do miss the summer days we had by the beach?.

It's been two years since you since you past away but the pain still hurts.
I wrote this for my mum we were really close and she died two years ago. I miss her it still hurts everyday
When night comes i dream of a never
Ending forever with you.
My head is full of ramdom thoughts
#dream #forever #you
Yes I'm a dreamer who has been
Lost in many dreams.
But sometimes it is best to be lost
In a dream than have nothing.
My head is always in the clouds
Lost in day dreams.
Escaping the black and white reality
That I know so well.
Sometimes a day dream can bring you
That much needed chill out time
That is truly your own.
It doesn't matter if
I am sleeping or awake.
Lost in thoughts or day dreams.
I still dream of you.
I sat amongst the tree's walking from
Dream to dream, finding you in each one.
Wondering what is it that makes me love you.

Why do I always return to your arms in dreams and fantasies?.

Even now as I am alone in the woods my  mind is flooded with thoughts of you. Am I a slave to you and your love?.

Your body haunts my dreams.
Each word touches me so deeply.
Brought to be my knees by your smile.

Stolen dreams and Engulfed in a burn
Desire all started by you.
It's time to end the suffering.
It's time to say this is not right.
I don't know if there was ever
An American dream.

Every black life matters.
See pass colour because
Our blood is all the same.

Untwist your mind open your
Eyes and look at the hate that's
Festering like a cancer.

Another black life is taken but
He will not die in vain.
Your skin colour should never
Be a death Warren.

Is this making America great again?.
You can call it by another name
****** is still ******.
It's time to say no enough is enough this should not be happening the colour of your skin should never matter
Our minds meet our hearts throb.
Giving into desires burning flames
Your hands on my hips your warm
Whisper that Lingers in my ear
I am lost in this forbidden moment
Naked minds our souls entwine
Each touch fills me with euphoria
Drowining in your eyes
you the lick the deepest parts that
You know so well fireworks are
Bursting in my mind my body
Offers its self to you as if you where a
Greek god going with the flow twitching
Hips shaking bodies I can feel it coming
My back archs and I howl to the moon
The moment is gone and I am left wearing
Nothing but the smile you gave me
Everyone hurts everyone crys.
Sometimes it's hard to smile.
There's good days and bad days.
But don't forget it's okay not to
Be okay everyone struggles.
#mental health #struggles #itsokay #everyone
Don't tell anyone but....
But I can't not hold back the gates
Of my heart any longer.
His sweet honey voice calls to me.

The war within rages like a forest fire.
His sparkling blue eyes.
The roundness of hips lured me
Into another world.

My racing heartbeat shook my core.
Stealing the breathe from my lips.
He calls me into the midnight darkness
To dance.

I can't work out how he does it
But every road taken leads me to him.
Love doesn't always come with a reason or why it's a spell woven of its own.
Every time I see you its hard not to smile. my heart races reaching speeds no car could ever match.

You asked me what I was I thinking about it. Some questions are best lift not answered.

You make me feel like a love sick teenager that, would do anything to get you to notice me.

In my dreams I have kissed you a thousand times. Feeling your soft hands touching every part of my body.

Every I time see you I fall in love with you all over again.
It always sounds the same
I'll stop tomorrow.
But tomorrow never seems to come.

Watching as heads are buried in
The sand.
Telling yourself it will change.

I have grown tired of the lies and
The never ending excuses.
This problem will never change.

You can't help someone who doesnt
Want to help themself.
The ice is getting thinner and thinner.

You have choose this life.
You have made your bed and now
You can lay in it.
It always make angry when people don't try
To make things better or change there life this was an in moment poem I felt so angry. Change is scary but you can't always keep running because your scared
I love to watch the ones who are
Acting fake everyday.
Chasing perfection that doesnt
Exist yet they call me crazy.
#crazy #acts #fake
I have never been a Saint or angel.
I have made mistakes.
Watched the snakes tell there lies.
I don't believe the same as you.

I stopped going to chruch I couldn't
See all the fake faces.
Have them preaching at me.
Telling me I am wrong.

Wrong because I don't believe the same as them.
Wrong because I can confess my sins
And not cover them up.

I didn't stop believing I just open
My eyes to the fake face and smiles.
#fakefaces #smiles #open #eyes
Read me a fairy tale.
Fake news.
Show me a magazine
Fake news.

Us against them.
Race wars reborn.
Rich vs poor.
The same tiered lying stories
The news says we would love to hear from you.
#youdon'tcarewhatwethink.
#turnthefakenewsoff.

While the magazines tells me I am not a princess and I no model either. Page upon page of your not good enough.
#youtocanlooklikeme
#youhavetobuythis.

I never knew the brain dead would rise killing free thought. So I burnt the magazines and turned off the news.
I wrote this because between thr fake news and magazines they do so much damage to people. Some people dont see just how bad things are and how dangerous fake news can be
It's scary what a smile can hide.
You can fake a smile.
But you can't fake your feelings.
There is no learning to love.
Because I don't feel it.
I can't pretend that I do.
You want more than I can give.
So sorry if your hearing something
Different fall from my lips.
There will never be love.
I need you to listen.
Don't hold on to hope that my mind
Will change because it won't.
I need a friend nothing else.
If you can't be that then this is won't
Work between us.
#friends #listen #lips #love #never
Some bridges need to be burnt and I
Lost the ones that need losing.
Now my dreams are full of colour and
My days are more happy.
Sometimes you just need to burn the bridges with the ones are no good and lose the ones who need losing
I am tired being the cinderella
Without the Prince.
Never being the one watching
Everyone being happy.
The one closest to me just see
Me as the one, just see me
At the one who keeps everything working.
Why can't I have my happy ending?.
Why can't I have light shine on me?.
It will hurt to say goodbye but
In the end it's for the best.
All good things must come to an end
Even you and me.
Go and forget me forever I hope
You find your happy ending.
Sometimes when you can't save a friendship or a relationship there's only one thing you can do for me i love both in one day
#happy #forget #forever
We both wanted that happy ending
That only exists in the movies.
Chasing dreams.
Watching sunsets holding hands.
Sharing sweet kisses.
The highs where high and the lows
Where low.
Missing pieces and shatter dreams.
I wonder where you are now.
#chasing #dreams #low #high
it's hard to smile when it feels like all hope has gone.

it's hard to keep getting up when you have been down many times.

It's hard to know who you can and can't trust.

It's hard to see the light in the darkness.

It's hard to dream when there is no hope
he
he
He stormed into my life changing everything.
A desire burns deep with in my heart.
Tiered of fighting feelings that can't be beaten.
There is nothing that i wouldn't do for him.
He is the sun in my blue sky.
He is the moon in my night sky.
He is the sun light in my hair.
He is the smile on my lips.
I love him more than he will ever know.
His beauty is every where I go.
I would do anything just to see him smile.
I would travel the world and bring him back beautiful things.
He stole my heart.
He stole my love.
Now these eyes seen nothing but him.
My mind body and soul are his.
It all started with red wine kisses
Tantalising touches,
Soft whispers dreams shared,
Memories made.
Now those memories lay scattered on
The floor along with the heart you broken.
#heart #memories
My mind is numb and my heart
Feels more than one emotion.
I am good acting okay when i falling
Apart inside piece by piece.

I am scared of the night because
That's when the thoughts get me.
My mind has become a twisted maze
I want out of.

I wake up in a cold sweat crying
You can't be dead.
The bible says time heals wounds
But my wounds aren't healing.

Did heaven really need another angel?
Couldn't he have taken someone else?.
Grief is something that touch us all its something that you can never be ready for even you know that it's going to happen
I wrote this for the friend that was more like a sister to me
He couldn't see just how much she loved him.
He couldn't see the beautiful thing they had was dying day by day.
He couldn't see the bottle of jack was killing him slowly.
He couldn't see his wife's heart breaking piece by piece.
He couldn't see the tears she cried.

He didn't want to get help.
He didn't want to let the bottle of jack go.
He didn't hear her leave with the unborn baby in her belly.
He didn't see what he had until it was gone.
Writing by candle light walking
In a garden of shadows,
Living for the darkness,
Playing his temptress,
The heated touches,
The caress of his lips against mine,
Dices rolled lines crossed,
The roundness of his hips,
The deep honey coated tone of his voice.
Had me pulling his head back just
to steal a kiss.
He makes me forget about the
World outside.
With this poem I have been playing around with words trying to make it more engaging
Yesterday has gone and we
Can't control tomorrow.
Not everything will be in our control
Live in the here and now.
Because whatever happens it
Will happen.
I sometimes I feel that it easy to hold on to what happen yesterday or try to control everything and plan for tomorrow that we forget about the here and now
They walked hand in hand under the blackberry sky.
He smiled while she sat reading poems to the harvest moon.
He listened as her words softly touched the deepest part of his soul.
Everytime he looked in her eyes he could see his forever live within them.
She was the missing puzzle piece he searched a lifetime for.
I have been working on this one for a while
#blackberrysky #puzzle #piece
The unforgettable wild stare in his eyes
The tenderness in his raspy voice,
His slow lingering touch melts my core
The caress of his lips on my neck,
The rising heat consumes me
He knows he has me right where he wants me,
Pushed on to the bed.
Lying naked before his wicked his smile,
One last look taken,
One last touch felt,
One last kiss tasted,
He left me lying on the bed in a heated mess.
Love turns to hate.
Pavements made with tears and heart ache.
Growing tiered of the place once loved.
Not a home but a prison without the bars.
Tiered of playing never ending games.
Watching every move made.
Watching your back day and night.
Never knowing what happens.
Sleepless nights and worrying minds.
Can't die here like others before me have.
Searching for a happy ending.
No more moving from place to place.
Hoping for one good Christmas.
All I ever wanted was a place to call home.
Shatter hearts that can't be mended.
Drowning in a sea of pain heart ache and sorrow.
No life boat.
No life jacket.
No help comes.
Sinking faster and faster.
Loneliness creeps in.
Crying tears that never get seen.
Screaming loud but no one hears.
Longing for someone hold me tight.
Hoping for a better tomorrow that never comes.
I have nothing apart from hope to hold on to.
Tear fillers eyes.
Heavy hearted.
Holding on to memorise.
Remembering happy days
Hoping that you found heaven.
I wrote this for my mum who died five years ago today. I saw a rainbow she loved them it inspired this poem
The flames of hate have taken over everything. Poisoned minds taught to hate anything that allows people to live free. Innocent life's cut shorts families shattered.

Not safe any were.
Can't love who you want to love.
No solutions to the problems.
Nothing is getting better things seem to be getting worse.

Can't trust the news channels.
Governments don't know what to do anymore. They want us to believe it is all sun shine lolly pops and rainbows.

Let's stand shoulder to shoulder no matter where you are in the world. Let's send message that can't be ignored.

Hope over fear
Good over evil
Light over darkness.
We stand together
Hate can never win
I just wanted to send a message out there that hate can never win
Her words still linger in my head.
Now she is being the great pretender.
Its all mellow smiles and happy moods until the last puff is taken.

It's hard to forget when someone says
I want to **** myself everyday.
Now today they are full of a high but
It is not on life.

She tells me the **** helps.
But I fear it is doing more damage
Than good.
Because life's problems are put on
Hold.

Then the bone crushing fall to reality
With a bang happens.
We find out selfs back to the start
A over again.

I can help but wonder.
Am I the bad guy for saying this
Running away does not fix things?.
Am I the bad guy for saying covering
Your ears causes more harm than good.

Day by day as minds become wasted
The more drug dealers win.
Wrapped up in waves of emotions.
He shines like the silver midnight
Moon-colder than a marble statue.

His poker-face could device anyone.
Yet every time he looks my way.
My heart beats my body shakes.

Lips softly kissed hearts touched.
Lost in his hungry lustful eyes.
Wishing we could stay in this moment.
This is a poem made from old notes that I had in an old poetry journal I would love some feedback if it needs more stanzas or not thanks
Two hungry souls collide under a black satan sky.
One kiss turns to a forbidden moment.  a long slow linger touch.
He made her feel alive.
His venmon in her veins.
Pulling her close stealing the air
From her lips,
Setting her free feeling each move she made.
Her body tingled consume by desires
Hungry flame.
Each deep ****** had her begging for more of him.
He knew how to push her buttons.
He how to waken her emotions.
He knew how to make her cry.
Unzipping her inner core he touched her deeper than any man ever could.
Fingers in her hair he reminded her he reminded her how it felt to be alive.
To some i am nothing more than
A cold heart demon.
To others i am an angel with a heart
Thats as deep as the ocean.
Wear a super glue smile.
Takes these magic pills
Snap out of it
Your just acting it now
Push your way through the pain
This didn't happen in my day
Fit into society's mould
Crying is weak get a grip
Pull your self together
Keep your head down
This is not how women act
Your too loud
Your too quiet
I am putting another pointless post
On Facebook so you need to wait
And they wonder why I don't open up to anyone
Crying and having a mental health problem doesn't make you I want people to see that crying is not a sign of weakness

#cry #magic #pills #openup #facebook #loud #quiet
You might have stood by my side but
You never wanted the best for me.
I should have seen the signs.
The more i wrote and shared my work
You grew more jealous.
You took my words and twisted them for your own benefit.
Whenever i pointed out the wrong you did you would turn it back to me.
Trying to use guilt to make me do what you wanted.
You would turn the tears on when
i wouldn't back down.
The i am going to **** my self calls
Started so i changed my number.
Save all the tears.
I am happy this controlling friendship
Is dead.
Sometimes you just need to walk away from nasty people
