i am not a man
***** made at best with a lack of quality control
i cry shamefully
waiting for the day
to find that my heart has officially grown cold
like all the good boys
that receive their praise
what id give not to ask
but to only receive
just for one moment
i want to feel
what it feels like to be treated like necessity
and not a burden
i long for everything that will never be mine

can i be good

i can’t help but think of how i will never live up
to any and every expectation
of others
and of my own

i wish i could live confidently
living without caution
bursting at my seams with power

but i am weak
i can’t be what you or i want me to be
that doesn’t really seem possible
with all that i lack

the silent whisper of confirmation
that this body is undesirable
my smile is vile
what i lack is all i have

they say make with do
but i rather throw a penny away
than hope i can save it for later
because that’s sadly how i am
wired to immolate

eyes? or the stories they tell?

Every time you open your eyes I fall deeper in love with the story they tell.

Memories

Memories,
The unforgettable things
Which hits us all the time.
We laugh and make memories,
When we look back at them we cry.

Break through

At some point the best thing to do is do nothing
Hoping things will fall back to place
Life weigh us down and we feel we are drained to apoint where we feel we need a
BREAK
A break from the suffering
A break from the sleepless nights
A break from all the insecurities
FROM all the broken promises
FROM all the struggles of life
A break from all the pain and agony
The heart is bleeding
Maybe just maybe DEATH is the break!!

Oddly satisfying

Be even, even if conditions are odd.

Nights

There is pin drop silence,
The wind is passing through the window,
There is darkness all around me,
My eyes are filled with emotions,
Really, nights are so heavy.

My poems..?

When I scroll down
And look at my older poems,
I wonder,
I wrote these?

I WROTE THESE POEMS!?
I find joy when fellow poets relate to my poems. When they like and comment, it's just incredible to see that people are going through what I'm going through, a reminder that I'm not alone. I'm grateful. Thank you! :)
