Strong trees also grow to weaken
They stand tall, and broad
They claim their grounds,
They are known for their astounding
beauty in nature,
As well as their shelter, and their resources,
For as much **** as they can take,
The storms they fight, The diseases they endure
They still stand strong.
-
When they weaken, they fall.
-
Same goes for a Strong woman,
compare her to a tree,
She stands tall, with broad shoulders.
Who also claims her grounds.
They are known for many reasons
Reason for which aren't always understood
For as much **** she takes,
The fights, the drama,
She still stands strong
-
It takes a lot to break her down,
When she becomes weakened, she
tries to brace her fall.
-
Nothing can brace a fallen tree.
I'm not waiting.

The day today is like any other day
But something's different from yesterday
Before, I was cheerful and happy
Today, I am lost and chappy

Nevertheless, the show of life must go on
In spite of transforming me into a con
Bizarre, is this feeling of course
Maybe something was to happen, for better or for worse

Whatever will happen can only be seen
In the near future, live, off the screen
Still, something bothers my mind
Just wishing the stars, to be kind

I love you like a
tired
broken down
college student
loves their fifth cup of coffee
at 3am
while slaving away
under the dim light of a lamp
in the
corner of a library
Wide Eyes Mar 2015
Her bright brown eyes on the luminous Sun rested.
The mere prospect of a new day entailed excitement.
Up and down she jumped in pure juvenile mirth
This four year old was in love with the Universe.

'One day I'll be seventeen,' her colourful mind exclaimed.
'I'll be big and beautiful and grown up!'
The thought of the future made her eyes sparkle
The joy in those brown pools was untouchable.

Her sleep-deprived brown eyes on the luminous Sun rest.
The mere prospect of a new day makes her groan.
Up and down she jumps in pure frustration.
This seventeen year old is in war with the universe

'Never again will I be four,' her grey mind states.
She feels small and unattractive and worn down.
The thought of the future makes her eyes sparkle.
The teary fear in those brown pools is untouchable.
Done.

Change a lines width and it's still a line
The same is with life
Changes will occur
Life will still be life
And
You will still be you

I compare my love for you to my driving.

Reckless.
Youthful.
Shouldn't be allowed.
Dangerous.

Yet I need it to get to where I want to go.

Everyone drives.
The ones who don't are content with that alone.

I shouldn't be allowed to.

I put my foot to the gas.
Trying to reach you.
Terryfying and exhilarating all at the same time.
But I'm all in.

Stop.

Abrupt.
Shock.
Fear.
Sorrow.

And it might just still be allowed.

That pretty face of that pretty moon                                                                      Looks pretty like that pretty face                                                                            On our planet anytime ,but                                                                                     When that pretty face of that moon                                                                       Disappears up in the sky                                                                                         In the daytime ,then                                                                                                 That pretty face ,                                                                                                      On our earth , appears permanently ...                                                                  Both of them are pretty and wonderful                                                                  Simply because both of them                                                                             Were created by a Great Creator ...                                                                    It's difficult to compare pretty faces                                                                   Like that one that is located up in the sky and                                                  That one that resides somewhere on our earth ....

One day I sat by a stream,
The water still.
Like a mirror.

Seeing my reflection,
Reveling in my beauty.
Though it was only a mask.

Everyday I hide true feelings,
Unknown to those I love.
I fear for its surface,
The claws like daggers,
To my throat.

Gazing into the water,
I can see my face.
Eyes of Ashure haze.

From Right to Left,
Two completely different people.
Stare back at me.

What was once beautiful,
Is now hideous.
Beyond comparison.

Changed...
By the mask.
Known as *"Torn.."
To those who know this feeling. What do you hide from your family everyday? What do you hide from your mate to be or a temporary fling? Can a mask truly hide these feelings?
branches run like the veins
across my fair-skinned arm
much like a dead one
am I unrooted
fallen, life poured out of me
a bare conifer still breathing
life into something
someone

vs.
it's a shame
that we cannot
appreciate
what others have
without comparison
word: shame
