My poetry sorrowful
my life my muse
writing of my sadness
helps dispense my mournful blues
It really does surprise me how writing poetry makes me feel
Expressing my emotions
in words
is helping me to heal
Poetry helping get through the tough times
writing poems is pretentious they say,
did you know?

apparently I'm stuck up my own ***
if I don't

sorry you act to good to express how
you really feel

you think its 'gay' and 'pathetic'?
well okay

say what you want
I dont care

it makes me feel alive
do you like feeling dead?

it's like your thoughts come to life

and it feels so real

I feel sorry for you,
if you think you're too good to express

or maybe on the other end
you're just too insecure to address?

Fear I may be less man more beast
as this is not natural to me at least
Used to hundreds of image's a time
now think in words to try to rhyme

To adapt and try this is my choice
but usually I have no inner voice
Instead of images to re arrange
to think in words it feels so strange

I hear talk yet my mouth doesn't move
as I try to word the words so smooth
For me this isn't easy it is a fight
to stop pictures appearing as I write

Writer I am not nor poet neither
in fact what I am can be no clearer
Ape in clothing and under educated
We know it's fact and now it's stated

These words I still now try to create
But please remember as I did state
This isn't easy all though no exam
but only hairless Humanzee I am

I am trying despite this being difficult to me

Why are people so afraid to feel?
Is it so intimidating to express something real?
Emotions that aren't artificial?

Every day I see people hide
From their true feelings inside
They wear a mask and do not handle repressed emotions from the past

Instead they take it out on the people of the present
We treat each other like peasants
Like no one will ever be good enough to break down our walls
Even though we all have flaws

We must except the past for what it is
Learn from it
Do not be consumed by it
Strength follows with every stab to the heart that wasn't fatal
Every rock that we hit when we were at the bottom
Grieving is nessitsary
But it should only be temporary

Feeling is such a beautiful thing.
It lets us know that we are alive
Why do so many people enjoy being dead on the inside?

Shutting out emotions will stunt your personal growth
To not feel,
Then you must not be real.

I do this
   Pretty much everyday

Sometimes you'll see me
   Other times i dont want you to

Whether it is on the outside
   Or in the inside

Its always a part
   Of who i am

It speaks softly
    And sometimes not

It can engulf me Suddenly
    Or creep up on me

What do i do
    nearly everyday
  
I let my tears fall and allow
   For me some Grace
Crying used to get on my nerves until i realized its part of me.

In a world
Full of emojis and stickers,
We are no less than robots,
Expressing through dark screens..
Don't you think so??

To be truthful I'm not perfect and I know nobody is and if no one
Will love me then God was always there from the beginning to
When I had my first ****** encounter to telling the first girl I'd
Rather marry her and have the kids that we dreamt about in
The moment that it started making me believe how some things
Could be good and only good for they would never work out in
The end, use to tell myself in the past there was no time to pretend,
And when each person leaves it's a cycle that'll never end,
One of the reasons why my life was caught up in so much sin,
Later , now when I repent,
Leave my life and you will see what the definition of grudge is,
Sweet vibes in memories but enough I can't stress this,
When I tell myself that I don't stress at all in the peril of my own
Demise letting all my energy and focus go into things that I can
Not hold in disguise,
Hang me dry Lord.......

I fall in love with people too much and
it's so genuine of a feeling ,
I wonder how much love this heart needs
and how much is it willing to give ,
Often I try to conserve both
me and my heart ,
But this heart of mine convinces me to love again
it says that keep loving even if no one loves you
because we both know
**" How being unloved feels like "
Watching the sun goes down,
it reveals the pink and orange hue of the sun.

Different colors,
slowly showing the darkness.  

Desires of someone,
but actually with no one.

Sunset is romantic when you're with someone,
it would be luck if you have one.

Sunset is sad. Its like you're saying goodbye.

Farewell to the light,
hello to dark.

Here goes the drama part of your day,
especially to those who doesn't usually going to a party.
