I am living but deceiving.

I am dying but still breathing.

I am deaf but hear a voice.

I am chained but still have a choice.

I am confused yet I know,

that the calmest people can be ******.

I could see it as clearly as if my eyes were open
There as a man in the house
And I'm awake alone
I lay down in the tub out of sight and dial the phone
But while I remain hidden he finds you instead
And he puts a bullet in your head
He passes by the door of the room
And I swear this is how I meet my fate
But he walks past
And out I dash
Out the window
And down the wall
Across the road and again I call
But before they come you are gone
No one could save you
If only I had been god enough.

When I see her again
Let me tell you
Every cell becomes alive
I awake

The complimentary serendipity
The particle charge of
Reading from the same mind
The quantum sharing of two universal whole beings of light
That somehow got entangeled
And when I see her
It all makes perfect sense
This and this and this...

I always think of you
most of the times
on how's your day went
or on how your weeks end...

I always think of you
during day especially in night
right when I am staring
at the moon.

I always think of you
on when will I ever meet you
because you're too far
and seems to be
out of my league.

I always think of you
because you're something
that makes me happy
and at the same time, sad.

I always think of you
that you made me
write this poem
out of the blue.
i don't know what is this

it's four in the morning,
and the man you left is sitting on the barstool still in mourning.
he's trying to understand how you feel,
but it's really difficult to do since when  it comes to shots he's had his fill.
he wonders what he did wrong in the your relationship that from his perspective is "ours,"
and what you don't see as you walk away is that he feels remorse so he'll continue this cycle for hours.
some fun wordplay and rhyming :)

Dear Truth,
Why must you avoid the ones
Who need to see you the most?
Only very few in the background
Know who you are
Yet that is not enough.
I pray that one day
You are brave enough to expose yourself
To the face of authority
Before another anti-abortion law is passed
And before another black citizen
Is whipped—I mean shot.

Dear Hope,
You have been away
For a while now
And I miss you.
If you are not to come back to me
Then please do us all a favor
And stay in Sudan for a while
For victims need you more than I do

Dear Attention,
You are turned onto the things
That aren’t as bad as the death
of human lives
Why must you point the billionaires
Towards the wrong direction?
We need you to look at people in need
The same way you looked at
The burning building

We need all of you back
Before 22 million more people are




Gone.
Encountered some current problems in this poem though I have mixed feelings about how it looks and sounds.
I am Patience and I am Pain,

I am tribulation and trials,

I am horror and I am happiness,

I am not myself, nor I wish to be so.

I am as existence is,

And so I wish to be peace,

I wish,

And I am.

I am an emotion,
I live until I die.
My ways mean life
Or death sometimes.
I am a new hope
When I am not an apocalypse.
Today -
I am love in it's purest form
Tomorrow -
The agony in the depths of hell.
I mean nothing
As without me nothing would mean a thing.
I am
And I always am until I die.
I am for everyone
