The night is bitter
The stars had lost their glitter
It's getting colder
And suddenly you're older
Then you get this feeling
That you might be bleeding
But apparently you're not
You're skin had begun to rot
A new skin emerged
Yet  you're not prepared
Which one is best ?the new or the other
Is there another?
The sky is Gray
The sun had lost its rays
You want to walk
Cause there's not much to talk
It's getting calmer
There's not much of drama
The kids are sleeping
They must be dreaming
It might be a nightmare
With a witch surrounded by flare
The adults are older
They are getting colder
They want to be dreaming
Even if they weren't sleeping
Their heads are thicker
Their souls are bitter
They lost their glitter
Who's fault is this ?
Fate it must be it
But destiny is glory
Each one has its  own story
Everything is ending
Life and its blessing
God is merciful
We got be thankful
Thanking him for life ،for the days and Nights
Even when it's gloomy
It got such beauty
Even to the blind
Faith can be their eyes

driving an old car in need of repairs
you feel every oddity
from the creaky, heavy door and
the every-so-often squeaky brakes,
the manual roll-down windows

sometimes you gotta hit the dash
to get your scratched CD playing,
old cars have warm static hums and
headlights glowing in amber
the sweet smell of carpeted seats baked in sun

when flirting with the future,
i drove a new car and it felt
as sterile as a spaceship -
you're unaware of its machinery that
makes it just like every other car.

Written words on a page
Only scream as loud as they are read
Lost along cycles of habits that have led to nowhere
Reaching for any hand thatll reach back
And help drag me out of the hole I've created

I don’t know what to say
I’ve never felt this bad
until the moment  
I opened the door & let you in

But one things for sure
I wish I could turn back time
So it can be like how it was before…

I hear the siren calling my name
I’ve tried to ignore it’s call many times before
This voice in my head is vicious and won’t let me forget the things I try to ignore.

I have so many questions,
but im running out of time.
Let me shed some light  as I peel off my skin cause I’m growing tired of fighting a battle i know that I’ll never win


They says it’s good to be different
better than fitting in
I’m done playing pretend on a road that leads to nowhere.
My patience is wearing thin


They say all good things take time
But I’m growing inpatient and now I’ve grown a thorn in my side

If I was someone else, you would've loved me
That's what you told me this morning
And it's my fault we couldn't be
And I fell for you without warning
You said you'd want me
That's all I crave for now
My bad I couldn't see
I was blinded by you somehow
So maybe if I was born before you
My heart wouldn't break
No one will love you as much as I do
How much more can I take?
this was my 28th poem, written on 9/4/23. can I shut up about this guy already

Escaped from fears
Yet Unable to sleep
Smiles hide tears
Buried emotions so deep

Losing a friend
A candle put out
Trying to comprehend
Looking away to doubt

A father deceased
Another sky turned gray
Farewell, We feast
Onto heart that weigh

Return of wrongdoer
Drugs to help cope
Smiles become fewer
Losing that little hope

A mother points blame
False affections believed
A heart left maimed
Apology never received

Family in distress
Silent the lines stays
Tense emotions addressed
As I've departed ways

The glow from early autumn sunset lays across my skin like honey

Golden light kissing the summer ferns, soft grass drowning in orange glow

The breeze is warm as is it holds on to the last of the seasons heat

I smile as it gently touches my cheeks, and twists through my hair

I let it take me and carry me along with the silver birch leaves

Drifting now as they dance and fall in the static air

So easy to lose my self in the turning of the season

Such romance I feel as autumn takes me along for the change

I was born from a storm
destructed from flesh to bone
beautifully perched in a cloak
in arbitrary, it was a dysmorphic view.

"How have I morphed into this?"

And all the skeletons in my closet seem like a myth hanging around in a locket, I gave you a thing where I put my little heart into it. I've gained in my drastic, obnoxious change.
