There's a word
called "deserve"
I believe should
be unheard

It's a word
that's a lie
and has caused
lives to die.

The ones that
gave up hope
before hanging
from a rope

Cause of a lesson
they were taught
Falsehoods taken to heart
Hollow and distraught
while falling apart

"I don't deserve love"

This unholy lie
isn't from above.

Love is a need.
A message one
should heed.

Ironically so,
I'll say this
before I go,

"'Deserve' deserves to die."

This is a horrible word.
One that never
should've been heard.
Well, I guess this is the poem that came out about the word I hate.
This word is a wolf in sheep's clothing.  It's a bit paradoxical using the word I hate to write this.  But paradoxes are part of life.  Contradictions everywhere.

Them thoughts I been having lately crazy,
Life can get deadly when you don't expect it,
Our lives can change quicker than you realize,
Everything that has taken placed is a surprise,
I can't worry or stress,
Life could be much worse,
I continue to keep pushing,
I won't give up,
Just keep putting in that work.

I knew the risks of my choices,
I knew it wasn't gonna be easy,
God has a plan for me,
I can feel something good coming,
Nothing good comes easy,
If you want something good,
You gotta take a lost to get the big win,
You can't succeed if you don't fail,
Can't experience success without failure.

Before you can walk you gotta crawl,
Before you talk you gotta listen,
Lessons are learned by paying attention,
How can we do better if we don't know our mistakes?
Know what you did wrong,
Before you can make it right,
What's wrong can be made right.
FAILURE TURNS INTO SUCCESS IF YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.

I literally cried over a person,
Who was so insecure about himself,
I created images in my head,
That didn´t even exist,
I found him perfect,
While he wasn´t perfect,
I lowered myself,
While, I am as worthy as him,
I wandered in my own troubles,
While he had his,
I disowned from my capabilities,
While he wasn´t capable himself
You wander yourself into seasons of depression, you forget your worth, because someone disowned you. You though you weren´t enough, good enough to be loved by that person while you were the one with the biggest heart and the biggest love to give and that person wasn´t ready himself. Out of this event, I learned to love and respect myself, love myself no matter what happens. You are not unworthy of love when someone decides to leave.  You are your own person and you don´t need any validation of someone else. Wait until you find the person that respects u as much as you respect the other. Meanwhile love yourself, it´s worth it<3.

Happy holiday you guys,

Much love<333

Over time, I will show you what it means to be truly loved.
Over time, you will learn that happiness is not a destination, but a journey.
Over time, I will show you what it means to be adored.
Over time, you will learn that having scars is different from being broken.
Over time, I will show you that time is irrelevant, because love is indeed immortal.
Over time, you will learn to love yourself.
Over time, I will show you the true meaning of “Always and Forever”.
Over time you will learn to see in yourself the beauty that I see.
Over time, You and I will cease to exist, and there will only be Us.

First friends do not stay
First lovers go away too
Life's lessons in pain
It's true that childhood friends and puppy loves rarely last
Melody Dec 2020
If only in my greatest tests
I can remain just like you..

To remain a confidence,
For all who are shun

To be our gratitude
In our adversity..

To be bright eyed
When clouds reach the forefront.

and to love, a love
Which paths knows no fork in the roads;
Seemingly your most simplest attributes
Yet your greatest knowledge.

Your absence instilled a winter
For which there’s no seasons;
Yet your warmth rivals it’s very summer....
Dedicated for all my past loves;
GQ James Nov 2020
At one point you were all I wanted,
Now all I want is distance,
The lessons I learned being away changed my life,
Life just ain't the same anymore,
Can't expect things to stay the same,
As we get older things change,
We change as individuals,
We want different things.

What you once wanted you grow tired of it,
The back and forth just ain't what I want,
The past is just that the past,
The person you once knew is now dead,
I didn't like who I was becoming,
So I made the changes to become better,
Can't be better if we don't become better.

I can do bad all by myself don't need help with that,
The distance has brought me different things,
Life has taught me more than expected,
So many different lessons,
I made my many mistakes,
Caused lots of pain onto others,
I was young and I had no cares,
Now that I'm older I appreciate others more,
Never take what's in front of you for granted.

The mistakes we make in our past,
Come to haunt us in our future,
The past mistakes never go away,
They create bigger issues for us later,
Nothing we do is forgotten,
Karma sneaks up on us,
You'll never see her coming.
