You don't know how much it hurt me,
I suppose you were misled.
I've been waiting all day to tell you,
Only to hear what you misinterpret what I said.

Pathetic, you think you knew what I meant,
You thought you saw through my smile,
What did you think of me?
Some irresponsible Middle school child?

Sorry for bothering you,
I only wasted your time,
I'm not capable of complementing
People who aren't like mine.
Whenever I try to complement a teacher, since they all look so fricking nice, they all think I'm doing it for a dare. *sigh*

For my 2016 writing project, I’ve decided to write a single line of poetry every day for an entire year. Below, is October’s poem. Enjoy!

Red, orange, and yellow.
I am succumbing to a cascade of color.
No longer who I was.
Now, who I am meant to be.

I am falling deeply in love with you.
This time of year draws me nearer.
It must be the season.
When all fails, you remain constant.

I have worked my whole life for this.
You are what I deserve.
This feels like something promised.
Or a dream realized.

Fall clothes are dusted off.
The closet is filled with new life.
Nothing else remains there.
We live an honest love.

Fires are being built.
Everything is in its proper place.
So are you.
We ready ourselves for the cold.

Those darkened days will come.
This is truer than we realize.
We would do ourselves justice,
If we would prepare for the moment.

Change surprises so many couples.
We can learn from this.
They can be our guide;
Our north star in the Seattle night.

Until then, I love you.
Beyond our failings,
This will remain true.

As we look on this day forward
We see people like a coward
Turning their back on their responsibilities
And only their on the sweet memories

Those people who knows how to smile
And knows how to cry
Because of some struggles in life
They are searching the way out with a big sigh.

Sometimes we made wrong decisions
And set aside some options
Although it is not convincing
But to do it is the right thing.

This climb we take
Most pain and misery
Our hard work at stake
Just for some scenery
We are the few
Struggling for the view

Each rock we move
New challenges arise
Our path never smooth
Is our journey wise?
This stress not new
Struggling for the view

We make it there
Looking at our journey
Nothing will compare
To the love we carry
For the road we traveled
And the view we unraveled

Behind those clever fog
Is a shade of bright clog
Where diverse cumbersome worlds
Are waiting to be divulge

My heart flutters wild
When I gaze at your six packs
**** your cigarettes!
Day 4: Write a haiku (a three line poem where the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables). Haikus are often about nature, but yours can be about anything.

Some say
You don't need to worry
But it seems complicated
Appreciate yourself
Are you going to stay?
Stay there, don't move
Everything will be alright
Worry, but don't panic
Just believe in yourself... you can do it.. but worry ain't a bad thing

For my 2016 writing project, I’ve decided to write a single line of poetry every day for an entire year. Below, is August’s poem. Enjoy!

We are wrapped in the heat of summer.
The sun's rays stab at our exposed backs.

Fall offers temporary relief.
An explosion of color everywhere we look.

Winters here are brutal.
The rain never seems to stop.

Finally, spring brings forth new life.
Something is reborn within me.

Another trip around the sun.
Nothing quiets the soul like the cosmos.
Eternal darkness sure feels small.
Maybe we are alone.

Staring across the passage of time,
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Not even at this moment
Is the pain of alone ours.

Our lives are intertwined.
We are stars filling the void.
Soon, we will realize this truth.
Hopefully, before it is too late.

Our moment is short.
Time never relinquishes its steely grasp.
So love...
Love with all that you have.

Before you know it,
Darkness will consume.
Be assured of your place in history.
Know your legacy.

Let time pass.
Be the best you.
The seasons of your life should reflect that.

I have skyscrapers as thoughts
but I'm terrified of heights;
delete the deepest fall tonight.
Mane Omsy Sep 2016
Will you rise when you fall?
Will you take in deep grief?
Can you stand in the line?
You've become so complete

Imperfections in your life
Take the steps ahead of yours
You'll be proud of yourself
Just look back and be grateful

How many miles have you run?
That is nothing but a tiny step
A million steps ahead, be ready
Learn from every levels you reach
You never learn without failures. So, don't step back and bow your head when you fall down.
