Beauty that
is on
the outside,
can hide
something
that we
cannot seek,
involving pains,
hurts and trauma,
Inside of Beauty,
that can
cut so deep,
A Beautiful
face hides
the secret
of a poor, poor
broken soul,
a smile and
a pretty face,
within this
can feel
so, so low,
of flowing tears,
soft cries, and
So, so much
sorrow,
even through
the agony
within a beauty
hides suffering,
that no one
can
detect or know

i was sick of being
put in a box
labelled, ready to send.

i looked up holidays,
knowing if i didn’t stop,
i’d drop dead.

but even the thought
of going felt too much.

still, i clicked complete.
seats reserved
on the eurostar.

anything else
than being the other woman —
the one people fall for
when their hearts
should be sealed,
not crossed.

i need to reclaim
some of my old self
i’ve lost along the way.
maybe that’s a start.

it’s got to be enough.
this one is about being company under covers, and the ache of hurting myself, and others.

Always with me, stuck in my life
Lays an aimless reminder in disguise,
My secrets,trauma, and all that hurt,
Hidden behind a camera I hold.

It takes me down, slow and slow,
Knowing I can't let people know,
Why is there a camera around my neck
Since I can't prepare them for what to expect.

dear you,

i fear i don’t know who i am anymore.
when i ask myself those very words, “who am i”, your name gets echoed through my bones like it’s mine too.
you’re no longer mine,
it seems my heart
and whatever’s left of my soul
refuses to accept it.

my soul keeps me half awake at night
still awaiting your call.
just awake enough to notice
if my screen lights up.

and my heart,
broken as ever,
holds on to the hope
that someday
you’ll want me again.

i think that hope
is what keeps it beating
and is why it’s not shattered
into fragments of
what we once were
what we weren’t
and everything we’ll never be.
he’s finally admitted he doesn’t want me anymore

when people see a person hurting
they seldom try to ease their pain
they make jeering remarks
and take their own digs and hits
for no one notices
if a bleeding person coughs up blood
those silent souls, drift alone in the dark.

if only hearts could learn to mend,
hold the broken, be the friend.

"If you truly love them, let them go"
But what about me?
I did the right thing
Yet here I am, hurting and crying
Wondering when it will stop
They say that time heals all wounds
But so much time has passed
And the wounds are still there
I did the right thing
But I am punished for it
I let them go so they can be happy
But they left the pain with me
When your Heart is broken, and
The Words within are unspoken,
When you are Hurting inside,
Is when your emotions have awokened,

When you don't know what to say,
As your skies have turned to gray,
When you are used to bright sunshine,
To brighten up your Sunny day,

When a time you were so Happy,
With a big smile on your face,
Now, you're feeling so down and out,
For, your smile has been erased,

When you would stop and smell the roses,
and Dance around with grace,
Now, you feel so cold and lonely,
Oh, the feeling of disgrace,

When heartbroken you try to cope,
with the feelings build up inside,
Even through this time, there is Hope,
Strength and Courage will be your Guide!!

I know what we have isn't gone

Because if it was

It would have stopped hurting
WHY JUST WHY???
Is what I ask,
Things are hectic,
I can't even leave
it in the past,
I want to let it go, but
LIFE BRINGS TO US STRUGGLES,
It HARD to ENDURE IT,
It BRINGS so MUCH TROUBLE,
I just don't UNDERSTAND IT,
WHY, I ASK WHY????
As I FIGHT BACK TEARS,
LOOKING UP INTO THE
BLUE HEAVENLY SKIES,
This is
EMOTIONALLY DRAINING,
I'm trying to get an
UNDERSTANDING,
This is just so
DEMANDING,
I am not even
COMPREHENDING, and
I am even not here
PRETENDING,
as these TREACHEROUS,
HARD
days goes by,
whipsersng in my
head softly,




why just why????

i cant even lie I was going to **** myself last night
You pulled me from my head and made everything all right.
You made my life make sense, put everything in line,
I laid back down again, everything seemed fine.

today I went through motions, tired and devoid of emotions
my brain was wrongly wired, it was you that i admired.
I wish you could've helped me
I wish you had known.
set my stupid mind free, all my worries flown.
i thought i was getting better...
