I think
The fact that I haven't
Written a poem
In nearly two weeks
Is causing me
To lose touch
With reality.

Reality
It's a funny word, isn't it?
REAL-EH-TEE
Real
But I lost sense
Of what was real
The same day I lost you
But let's not talk
About you
I'm sick of writing
About you
I'm fed up
With every one of my ******* poems
Including the word
YOU
Maybe that's why I stopped writing!
Yes
You were in my life enough
And I got sick
Of putting you in my poetry
My heart
Yes

So you see
I've lost track now, haven't I?
I was on about
Losing reality
And then…
Oh never mind that
I just…
I lost what was real
The same day I lost my sanity
And it's been
So long now
That I'm not sure
I'll ever get it back

But there was a question
Yes
How do I know
That I'm losing touch with reality
When I haven't known what was real
In such a long time?
Good question.
It's just a
Feeling
I suppose
The only thing humans
Were ever really capable of is
Feeling
The only thing that is
Real
To people
I guess
Because emotions
Often feel more logical than logic
Even when I act on them
Illogically

Or…
Does that not make sense?
I can never be sure
My pencil always races
Faster than my brain can dash
My thoughts forgot
How to run
After you stopped being my coach
Yes
You pushed me
To work harder
Be better
So what happened?
What happened to make you leave?
Why did you…
Why did YOU
**** “you
I can't stand that word!
Why can't YOU
Leave my mind?!
Leave my paper?!
Leave my poems!
Just leave it blank!
Instead of writing this wretched word
Over and over
Y-O-U
Maybe I'll just leave it blank!

Is it worth losing myself?
To leave the pages empty?
Is it worth losing my real-eh-tee?
Because
I haven't written a poem
In nearly two weeks
And it feels like
I'm going numb
Because
The only real thing I had left
Were my feelings
And now
They seem to be melting away
All the same
As my ability
To write
A real
Poem.
I feel like I'm losing my mind...

I was too blind by the darkness in my eyes
I could not speak for they might have hurt me
I could not hear for they had said too much
that had broken my confidence
I could not touch for they were too pure for such a thing like me

I feel like an imitation
Of my own reflection
Despondency creeping over
The rivers in my veins
Corrupted

That's all I hear
24/7 it's hurting my ear
Every discussion headed towards that direction
And Honestly it's in need of a Correction
Can't have a decent conversation
Patiently waiting for the vaccination  
Need to take a break
a vacation
Lose it at 12 and have a celebration
What's wrong with this generation
Acting like it's just normal recreation
What happened to love
What happened to looking up at the stars high above
It hurts
I'm seen as a tool
These boys they talk to me and they cut a fool
Not a day goes by that someone hasn't asked me to "come through" or "send nudes"
And Honestly I respect myself too much
You can look but don't touch
I don't understand why it's so hard for them to get it
These adolescents they're too hard headed
At first I liked the attention
But now all it causes is tension
Is it beyond your comprehension
I don't wanna rush into *** I wanna connection

Cause it’s all just paper in the end,
Were all just stuck here playing pretend.
Some of us acting like we god,
While other have never even heard of a ****** iPod.
We pray to that god at the end of the day,
And then curse his name if things don’t go our way.
We’re corrupted and ****** up, dishin’ out blame,
Wishing for superman, left with some ******* named...
Who gives a **** with his name if they’re all just fuckboys ,
Woman pick yourself up you’re repressed by the man, part of his ploy!
And were all stuck here playing pretend,
Might as well make you name a story for the end.

Justin Bieber is no big deal
I’m not even sure he is real.
He started out as pretty decent
Have you seen anything recent?
He looks like a kid who is trying
To join the gang but is only crying;
Sitting on the sidelines sniffling.
Dressed up in gang stuff and everything.

Poor baby Justin, as rich as a king
Isn’t quite satisfied owning everything
Has to cover up his body with tattoos
Like all the real-life gang members do.
Wears a hat too big for him all sideways
Plays in the sandbox where big kids play.
Wants to look all gangster and rough
But looking like a lesbian makes it tough.

Poor Baby Biebs with his millions of fans
Three pairs of underwear and baggy pants
Grinning like he’s bashful, we know he’s not.
Far too often he has proved himself a snot.
Some of us were worried when he was a kid.
We worried nobody was careful of what he did.
So Baby Justin Bieber is a bit of a wreck
Sort of like the words crawling up his neck.

Justin Bieber makes the young girls scream.
They don’t care he’s not the angel he seems.
If only he would misbehave with them, they think.
They’d let him act the fool, smoke and stink.
Because, after all, when you’re a teen-aged star
It doesn’t really matter just how fake you are.
The thing is be to be fashionable the youthful way
And let them get a glimpse of you every day.

You corrupted my mind--
In the most beautiful way.
I think of you everyday,
I just want you to know that:
Even though you do this to me,
It's okay
As long as it's you.
It was always you.

(Romeo  Cinderella Plain text-both)

Please don't let my love,
Become Juliet's tragedy,
Take me away from here...
That's all I want

Goodnight, papa and mama;
Hope you have sweet dreams...
It's time for adults to sleep...

I feel the seductive smell of caramel...
I walk to you, shyly...
How far will we go tonight?

Don't bite me...
Please be gentle,
I don't like bitter things yet,
Because I always eat mama's sweets.


If there's something you don't know,
It's natural to be curious about it, right?
Show me everything.

If it's you, I'll show you my...

I always want to be Cinderella,
I'll just run away wearing only my uniform!
Magic, please stop the time...
Otherwise, the bad people will interfere!


I want to run away like Juliet...
But don't call me with that name!
It's true, that we're destined to be bound,
Otherwise it'd be too boring!


Hey, do you want to live together?

I'll use a little makeup,
I promise to be a good girl from tomorrow on...
So just for now, please forgive me


The margin of the black lace,
Isn't secured today...
How far are we going beyond it?

So hard that I bite you,
So hard that it hurts...

Because I'm the one you fell for right?
But papa seems to hate you...

You gave me your hand

Just feel my warmth
Take me away my Romeo!
So far that I won't care!

The bell rings like Cinderella's!
I'll leave my glass shoe,
So find me soon ok?
Before these nightmares wake us up!


She surely did the same thing,
She dropped it intentionally...
That's right, I'm also the same,
I want to endear myself to her!


Look I'm here...

Can you look inside my heart?
It's brimmed with desire isn't it?
But not enough, it should be filled with other things,
So badly that maybe there's no more room for you?


But then there'd be no meaning to it...

Happiness seems to be stored,
In that small box rather than in the larger one!
What should I do? At this rate...
I'd let you down!

But I'm greedy, like papa and mama
Who've only wanted what was good for them,
It's the best isn't it?
I'll accept my fate!


The Cinderella who always tells lies...
Is said to be eaten by the big bad wolf,
What should I do? *At this rate I'll surely be eaten...
Then just save me before that happens ok?
Credits to Romeo to Cinderella and to everyone behind it! Peace~

make it easy on yourself
and pick apart each one of my bones
let me know what you have seen
while you ignite every part of me
screams drown in my lungs
i can feel it almost there
corrupted minds are too far gone
and way beyond repair
and if i lose my mind or choke on fear
my dear
please save yourself, my dear
please save yourself
i've lost my mind
i would give you all my breath
a breathless, twisted life i'd live for you
a never ending novocaine
will strip me of my pain
but i'd never tell
