The birds chirp outside
Rain crashes in sleek pools
Small ants are crawling
Nature is beautiful

I wear scars on my body like first place medals in the pain olympics
Proud of my past pain

I bet you feel fine
Bet you do not hurt at all
Seem better than me
You look as good as ever

Sometimes lose track of the times I wished for more time
Every day

Maybe miss right ones
Not friendly faces we need
Street strangers pass by
This was hard to write. About overlooking people who might be important to our lives.

Breathing
Able
Speaking
Aware
Hearing
Blessed with sight

Yet I feel handicapped
I just feel like something makes me incapable of doing simple tasks everyone else seems to be able to accomplish with no trouble

Whoever taught you to lie did an excellent job

What it is that makes you so authentic is your total sincerity

To be lonely awhile might knock some sense into you

I would like to see you lie then
Why do we end up like our parents?

Try imagining what it's like to  imagine a happy future knowing it will never happen...
It *****

The way to reinvent is to rebrand
To create oneself requires real ambition
To try discovering your true self
You need no one's permission
It's okay to not know who you are because most of us are still figuring it out
Amanda Kay Burke Nov 2020
There is dissatisfaction
Between hope and truth
Expectation the one to blame
Fool we acquainted in our youth
Break bones with reality
Cut throat with an honest knife
Pull open and bleed out my dreams
Get used to the brutality of life
Because it never plays out like it does in our heads
