They make me laugh,
They make me cry.
For any of them
I would gladly die.
I'd take a bullet
Right through my heart
Just so we
Would never part.
We were fine in the beginning,
Just a big circle of love.
I swore they were angels
God sent from above.
But as the years progressed
They started to change.
I had a bad feeling
Things would never be the same.
One went ******,
No one was safe in her path.
Things were great with the rest,
But how long could that last?
The crazy one, the loud one,
The one I consider my sister.
I found out this year
Just how much I would miss her.
A misunderstanding,
A stupid mistake.
I didn't know
How much it would take.
We're doing better now,
But it's npt the same.
Sometimes I feel like
My whole life's been rearranged.
Out of four I have two.
They've been by my side.
Around them, I know
I don't have to hide.
But, as i feared,
They're changing too.
Someone, please help me!
I don't know what to do. I can't loose them.
It'll break my heart.
I don't want us ever
To be apart.
But one's getting annoyed.
I can hear it in her voice.
She doesn't like the drama,
But this wasn't my choice!
I guess I have one
Who will always care.
Whenever I need her
I know she'll be there.
If she's not busy, that is,
Making promises she can't keep.
Then I'll have to deal on my own,
Crying myself yo sleep.
Don't think I regret meeting them
From what you have read,
Because I don't.
Remember, like I said:
They make me laugh,
They make me cry.
For any of them,
I would gladly die.
I'll hold them in my heart
For now until Forever's end.
Who are these people?
They are my best friends.

We were good.

While you were ****** and I was intoxicated.
I saw you through a Rosé tinted wine glass and felt your eyes caress me through the
Constant,
Concupiscent
THC haze.

We were junkies.

Sybarites on substances,
Addicted to lingered kisses.
****** on lust, wrapped golden.
Eye to eye and skin on skin.
Our altered minds in synchronicity.
Our bodies
pulsing
pulsing
pulsing
To instinct's beat, the almost thereness.
The best bit was always the almost thereness
while high as a kiteness because
After there,
Comes
Here and nowness
And

my mouth is dry
And your lips are tight
And you won’t speak to me.
So I try to ask you if...
But you shut your eyes so you don’t hear me and I know the answer.
You make me hate myself almost as much as you hate me so I know you’ll never love me.
But.
Your lips part in the coldest lie as we lie cold and lonely,
In the shared bed.
Sober and resentful.
La petite mort melancholic.

Me? Do I hate you too?
No!
I just don’t like you any more.
I’m not sure that I ever did.
Inspired by the WhatsApp message I sent to an ex lover telling him I didn’t want to do the ‘friends’ bit.

Welcome to
The theater stage,

          Where we are
          Made of dreams

Just acting out
The scenes of life,

          With laughs, and cries,
          And screams

Until the final
Curtain call,

          When we will
          Take our bow

And wonder what
‘Twas all about,

          With no one
          In the crowd...

.
Inspired by Albert Camus' "actor" in his book The Myth of Sisyphus.

Blaming yourself for everything bad that's happening
Is what we do when our heart and mind is collapsing
Living in a world with people not knowing why they live
And people that let others hurt them so they wont leave

Confusion made me so tired because of overthinking
Trying to know all the answers when I really can't
All the things that wander in my mind every night
Makes me feel like my heart is being ******* so tight
 
Not saying anything about what I feel because of fear
My fear that they'll treat me differently and ruin the mood
The scars that are everywhere in me and the tears that come out
Makes me scream but only in my mind because I can't say it with my mouth

I don't know what to do with this life and how to decide for myself
I just nod to everything and everyone so I won't be a burden to them
I'm confused if I'm a person or just a tool
Thinking it will turn out fine but no its just me again being a fool

Political troops, Red warriors in suits
Corruption his weapon, The people his boots
Armored by lies and malevolent truths,
The fiend revealed by his conspiracal tooth.
In his greed indulging in the forbidden fruit,
devouring all in the political soup.
Mistreated minority's, disgruntled youth
How long will we ignore the truth?
Am I the only one?

Why can't I do anything right?
I can feel the rope around my neck getting tight.
I am not sure if I am having an anxiety attack,
but my vision is fading to black.

I should shut up!
Seriously
I don't know why I keep talking,
but my breathing is getting balking.

My heart is going the speed that my fingers are flying over the keyboard
and I can feel cramps starting to erupt,
and I am trying to hold them tight,
trying to press everything right.
But with shaking hands it's not so light!

All I did was drink
2 glasses to be precise
and the next thing I know
is that I wake up to apologize
to a girl that I love
which I called a **** for fun

And that's where the drama begun.

She asked if a was already down the drain
And even with a clouded brain
I saw the mistake in her spelling
and thought it would be fun to be the one telling:

“Are you grammatically incorrect?”

And all I hear this morning is the loud voice that yells at me
“You are rekt”

And she is right, I am.
I hurt the one most precious to me
Just by saying something that I thought was funny.

Running my mouth is like running a train.
An unstoppable force
until it rolls of the rails.

But from now on I'll keep quiet,
I swear to you, my dearest one,
because I can't see you being gone.
I wrote this very fast. Just pouring all the electricity spasming in me into this poem. So it might look very chaotic. The thing is, she will probably never see this, but if she does I love her and I am really scared that I have ruined everything this time.
Maybe I will send it to her when I grow the guts to do it.
Loving someone
who is broken
is like being attracted to shiny shards
touching it will make you bleed
holding it close may hurt
but to those who have true intentions
even small pieces can come with a bright luster
that even broken glass
can shine light into this world.
Here's to the strong and patient, to those who helped fix people they truly love. To those who have pure  intentions...

Our home has an uneven foundation
The walls are crumbling and the support beams are rotting
And tonight, the roof finally caved in.
As my lungs filled with sawdust I covered my ears
I covered my eyes and hid from my fears
I didn’t wanna hear the screams or the tears,
I couldn’t bare to hear promises of suicide
And claims of pure hatred with a dash of cyanide
I couldn’t bare to see my home topple over
And I couldn’t bring myself to look at their hands bunched up into fists
They screamed until they couldn’t make a sound and I couldn’t deal
I couldn’t witness such a catastrophe without being scarred so I ran and I hid
I hid from their words and I hid from their lies
I hid until the worst of it was over
And then all was quiet.


When I opened my eyes, the walls were intact
The beams were solid, the floor was leveled
And everyone was smiling.
Their teeth were black with ash and soot
But they smiled wide, grinning ear to ear
And their voices were calm, the yelling had ceased
I uncovered my ears.
And though their mouths told one story
Their eyes told another
They were red and puffy, and I could see the pain that the damage caused
But they smiled on anyway
As did I.
the draft, however, remained.
