there is nothing poetic about you,
rather, something pathetic surrounds you.
I'll let you tell me things that hurt me, but I have to.
Its cuz part of me's in love with you.
In these days, I find it harder for me to want to know who you are.
Though its been months since I've known you, do you really know me?
Oh how I wish our friendship was a dream.
Since its not, I have to wake up, every morning, with these tears polluting my eyes.

Cuz unlike you I have so much to hide.
Your secrets are nothing compared to mine.
I tried to mask all the pain away with a tall bottle of wine.
I understand, why you can't love me back.
That doesn't stop all this pain from growing.
So just know when you want to talk again, I won't hesitate to let you know.

That my ears are yours.
I'm trapped behind this door.
I want to open up to you, but the pain from the knowing is too much to bare.

I can feel it in my bones now.
Trying to fight the urge to reveal it all.
They all can see it on my face now.
Somehow you're still oblivious.
I don't want to stop talking.
But I do want to stop hurting.
I just don't know what to do.
Even though you ******* hurt me.
That wont stop me from wanting,
The pity hours I get from you.

Cuz unlike you I have so much to hide.
Your secrets are nothing compared to mine.
I tried to mask all the pain away with a tall bottle of wine.
I understand, why you can't love me back.
That doesn't stop all this pain from growing.
So just know when you want to talk again, I won't hesitate to let you know.

That my ears are yours.
I'm trapped behind this door.
I want to open up to you, but the pain from the knowing is too much to bare.

I want to hate you, but I love you.
Can you hate me? So I won't love you.
I know you too much.
Do you really know me?
I want to hate you, but I love you.
Can you hate me? So I won't love you.
When will it all stop.
I dont want to fall for you anymore.

But my ears are yours.
I'm trapped behind this door.
I want to open up to you, but the pain from the knowing is too much to bare.
Hey everyone! So sorry I have been gone for so long. I've been battling some really bad depression but I'm feeling a lot better now (: please enjoy this piece.

A group burial ground
Is much like *******:
A pile of bodies stripped of dignity
But not being in a state to care.

Being silent
She told me to open my eyes
To say few words about her

How can I tell?

How can I tell?
She looks more beautiful
With my eyes shut

Words compete one another
Trying to express, why her silence is
Worth having for

Long live her silence
Her virtue
Stand by

Some men make me worry
Degrading treatment towards women seems to be ok
On their behalf I would like to say sorry
This kind of bahaviour needs to stop today

As a guy it sickens me
The sheer amount of disrespect
Rating women, calling them a lousy three
Something in your head must be defect

The other day I heard a colleague say
Don't worry about their names
I'm saving them by the codes
Each letter leading me on different roads

"S" means hot, "X" is for a one time use
I was aghast, no I was shocked
In my opinion this is resembling abuse
After that further chat had to be blocked

A dark day for a believer of human dignity
No human should be reduced to an object
Fellow men, stand up when facing this immorality
This is a wrong we need to correct
I wrote this poem about half a year ago after being confronted with the above mentioned situation. I was debating whether I should publish this poem at all, as there are a lot of poems popping up especially in regard to the "me too" and "time is up" movement and I did no want to "jump on the train" so the say. However, I think it is important to stick up when facing wrongs like these no matter if this relates to women or men alike.

Cheers to the believers of human dignity!
that over millenia
major religions have advocated peace
their adherents have been slaughtering each other    
     supposedly in the name of their assorted gods
more than any other known species

why is it
that in my maturity
(which people usually call old age ...)
I‘m getting so *******
with politicians who seem not to see
the obvious solution to a problem
but find elaborate fake excuses
just so they can get re-elected

why is it
that for Europe it‘s so difficult
to find a way for refugees to be accepted
with respect and  dignity

why is it
that the USA apparently forgets it‘s been the country
living off its (il)legal immigrants for centuries
and now simply ignores the words
they put onto their Statue of Liberty

why is it?!??
when the heads of nations forget dignified tones
we are well on our way to that „clean“ war with drones
