lucky to be alive
when guns are"for protection"
lucky to be alive
when people are nearly dying of starvation
lucky to be alive 
when natural resources means risk of invasion
lucky to be alive 
with no money but education
lucky to be alive
in a civilised nation

My dad told me "Son, We all have experation dates".

That stuck with me for 5 years, I never knew what he meant by that.

Until one night, they gave my family 2 options. Pull the plug or continue his suffrage.
Life is pointless if you don't spend time with the people you love most.

This is the point I get to time and time again
My fingers pulsate
                   My breathing quickens
                                    My heart tightens
because we just can't let our cynicism go
You see, everyone leaves
It's a fact
And just like the leaves on the deciduous trees
I was never meant to stay

And the more fond I grow of your company
The closer we get to that breaking conclusion
And instinctually
And hopelessly
I hold on for dear life
Because why must things be this way
Why can't our days consist of shy smiles
And matching coffee drinks
And hands held lightly
With your gaze being my favorite morning memory
I crave you

But timing is everything
And no one really gets what they want
It's not like we'll make it out alive, anyway

When I'm gone,  
When I'm finally done,
At least attend my funeral,  
Where all left from me is skull,

Maybe then you'd know I waited too long,  
All this time listened to every sad song,  
I lived all this time when I was dead inside,
While I watched you walk front with pride,

Pride that you have broken a heart,
And you are glad that we are finally apart,  

I can imagine people standing by my grave,  
Talking ear to ear saying he wasn't brave,  
They say their prayers bid farewell,  
And mark the end of this Novel,

And at last you arrive,  
But darling it's too late,  
It's nine forty - five,  
My funeral was at eight,  

Again darling again you're late!!!
I don't think I'm someone who would actually be this negative about life but for rhyming I guess it's a good one and it's got a pretty good message " Don't be late " Lol :)

Why was I gifted with intelligence if it won't allow me to fix or make sense of our shattered lives

I feel ignorant to everything as memories and thoughts embrace and drown my mind

I gasp for air and fight to sort them, but they come in so fast and strong...

I can barely keep my head above this harsh tide

Life you curse me

Then you punish by taunting me with the slightest hope
of an answer

Like the moon I can see...

Still ever so far as to touch or explore, as it passes when it fades with day

My mind is there just as the moon, but it's only use is to  help me survive
barely giving me enough strength and hope to linger

If I can't use my wisdom to help me, help her....

Take my mind

Make me dumb

Make me numb

Just don't leave me helpless

Give me something to give her

Or give all of my strength... every ounce of wisdom,
all that makes my heart beat, and smile

Give it to her
leave me none
Make her mend make her whole
Or simply make it not so....
Life's kicking my ***...and it's like revenge on my soul
Haunting my family
As if it knows
They are my only true weakness



I'm sorry if I only pop in on hellopoetry. My problems are consuming me.

A chain of men
******* my heart

But I'm okay
Just torn apart

I'm not dead
Just need air

Can't breathe
This chain I wear

Hopeless girl
Used for lust

Now you know
Why I can't trust

A minute happy
The next alone

Everyone I love
Turns to stone

He said forever
And he swore

They come back saying
"I don't love you anymore"

Maybe one day
I'll break free

From all the lies
Suffocating me

Viscous Waves , Tempting With Rage,
A Hit Of This ,
You Loose Your ****, Or You'll Be Saved,
Thunder Roars, Behind Closed Doors,
Empty, Starving Souls, Only Want Some More,
A Need Of Hug, Has Been Replaced By A Drug,
Only A Shot They Said, Only A Buzz,
Utterly So Bitter Sweet,
Shades Of Pain, While Grinding Teeth,
Regret Weighs So Heavily, It's Hard To Sleep,
I am The Enemy , I Cannot Beat.
Deep in the obis of a poet,
There's a playlist,
Called "Dead Poets"
It's where the songs of their lives
Live. Filled with death, despair,
Haunted memories.
Where no one dares to tread.

Once that poet has gone,
On their own terms,
They search through the poet's
Obis, they find a letter in the notes.
It reads "Love,
I must leave you here alone.
I am sorry that I have forsaken you.
In the depths of the Obis you will find
The playlist I lived by.
Under the name of Dead Poets.
There you will find,
The reason I had to leave you behind
- Your Dead Poet"
They searched the obis,
They found the playlist
In the first words of the songs read
"You Could Have
Foreseen
This"

My thoughts scream against the cage
Of my brain
Pounding to be set free
As I go blue in the face from holding
My breath.

I'll overthink and overanalyze
In a vain attempt to save myself
But you are impenetrable to
My musings and I cannot see
Too far foward from this moment in time.

So as my lips purse and crack and bleed
I'll smile for you every time
And hope perhaps, if my reading is right,
Youll make your smile, mine.

Love is stupid  
 Make me faint

Compulsive liar
  You're no saint

  Love is stupid
  Make me melt

 Empty is everything
  All I ever felt

    Love is stupid
    Make me blush

    See this blood?
     It hurts so much

      Love is stupid
       Take my life
  
     I dare you too
     see that knife?

       Love is stupid
       Hold me forever

      Secretly I wish,..
     Nope nevermind
       Whatever

      Love is stupid
