You smiled when I did well
So I tried to make you happy.
You frowned when it all changed
But I wanted to do things for me.
You don't like how I turned out
'Cause now you're always angry.

I wonder: if I suddenly died,
Would it make you sorry?
I am feeling so emo. *laughs* Really been down these days though. Two poems about suicide in a row. ****. I just need to die already.

There are always times in life when our hearts get broken,
The days feel longer,
And joy seems really had to find,
But i found myself,
I loved myself,
I appreciated myself,
Knowing that the value of my life is not the value the society places on me but what i make of myself,
If everyone turns there back on me and years later i haven't grown,
Then i have lost woefully,
But if years later i am rich,established, academically successful,... then i have won.
So people disappointing me is my greatest motivation to becoming great.
Because i know i must prove to them that i can always succeed with or without them.
Just something i wrote to console a friend who was jilted by her lover.
I thought i should share.

I’m sick of you not trusting me.
I’m sick of trying to be perfect.
I’m sick of your standards.
I’m sick of being compared.
I’m sick of being tired.
I’m sick of hating myself.
I’m sick of not feeling good enough.
I’m sick of myself.
I’m sick of being judged.
I’m sick of being a disappointment.
I’m sick of feeling guilty.
I’m sick of feeling ashamed.
I’m sick of the looks I get.
I’m sick of being blamed for everything.
I’m sick of feeling unloved.
I'm sick of living.
I’m just… sick.
I think we're all a little sick, in one way or another.

One crossed the oceans
Yet nothing met him on end
A letdown indeed

I am your favorite fruit,
from the tree, this morning
you've freshly plucked
with a visible delight,
driven by an avid desire
that moved your dust coverd
pleasure seeker part
still kept alive, astonishingly
though you are no more
that young adventurer
once  you enjoyed being,
and have turmoils to handle.
You kept me safe in the
favorite nook of  your kitchen
not before caressing a bit
feeling my texture and
inhaling elating  fragrance.
you wanted to sit and eat this fruit
you did covet, so much when
you are free from daily grind.

But it's already sunset,darkness creeps,
there is no chance of a respite
for you, you easily forget
that there is no tomorrow,
perhaps you keep the thought
away,though you know
the things work out only today
as you want it, but can't help.

But as a woman of many parts
you may think it doesn't matter
you can throw the fruit out
before the night advances
hissing through your teeth
"Oh! it's gone to rot too soon"

I would still exist in the neuron
of your deeper brain, a sweet wish
unfulfilled, a little  eclipse in your
inner sky of many bright suns,
a neuron twitches continuously
independently, breaking the tune,
but yes, the world exists for both
it's sweet and bitter disappointments too.
And it necessitates taking life after life
to fulfill such small desires
and clean up, smile with contentment.

Alone on Sunday.
It means; "to procrastinate".
means, "time to reflect."

I  actually
expected you to do this,
and that feels ****** up.

I expected this,
and I should feel *******, but
it's just whatever.

~

Jay texted me, "hey"
and I  felt my whole body
sighing in relief

as I messaged them.
Things are to be okay.
Guess that's how it goes;

Can't predict these things,
but if you tried you'd be close.
I'm not clairvoyant,

but I know enough.
Enough to see where this ends.
Things stay as they've been.

I'm done looking for love in all the wrong places,
I'm done withdrawing any evil from all the wrong faces.
Done telling myself this time it'll be different.
I no longer want to settle for 40 degree weather,
Telling myself it's warm enough,
Telling myself it's better.

I want to be held... Tightly
I want things to finally... Finally, go rightly.

When I tell myself that I'm done,
When I tell the world I'm no longer looking toward the sun,
I'm told I need to not beat myself up, not to be so down
I'm told I will only go up.

But I hate constant uncertainty,
I hate being mislead,
I hate wondering if it's me
That always makes them leave.

I've given you too much love,
but you've given me too little.
I've annoyed you,
but you have disappointed me.
I've shared my life with you,
but you've been keeping secrets.
Why do you do this?
Why won't you let me in?
Why can't I say these things to you..?

When you look at me.

Do you see the boy,
Who played with strings?
Or perhaps,
Do you see the man,
Who'll become a king?

Do you fear,
Of the things I could repeat?
Or perhaps,
Do you believe the things,
I can achieve?

Do you see the life,
I cannot give?
Or perhaps,
Do you see the wife,
I'll never kiss?

Do you see the time,
I've wasted?
Or perhaps,
Do you see the life
I've chosen?

Either way you see
Who I
Was
Or who I
Will be
Will you ever see
Who I
Am?
Will I ever be
What you
Wanted?
all your life
you expected something
you walked
you fell
you raised
your mind turned
on an invisible horizon
a worthless trepidatious
waiting
neglected
disappointed
aged
waiting
that silently moves away
a cold face
like the flickering flame
of a consumed candle
hot wax
that trickles
in cold tears
motionless
