i don’t think the sadness ever goes away.
at least in my case, not for long.

right before a genuine smile
my sadness reappears with a camera
that blinds me with a flash.
“say cheese” it taunts me,
“yes, just like that.”
fake. a portrait.

and just like that once more i am engulfed
in a ravaged state of despair.

when i sit with my mother to spend a moment together
inside i die knowing that i her little girl
doesn’t want to be anymore.
but i just can’t do that to her.
despite the sadness and madness i don’t ever want to imagine her hurting because of me.

so you see this sadness that never goes away... is tearing me both ways...

so tell me where do i go from here?

I’m tired of waiting for tomorrow.
Will tomorrow be a better day?
Who’s to say tomorrow won’t be as dark
as yesterday.

If you like fanning the flames,
It's time to meet inferno.

They do have the best stories.
May not be very bubbly
Or comedic,
But thrilling,
At the least.
Horror
Is
The most fascinating
Genre.
...
I am mad that work is toilsome.
I am mad that I do stupid things.
I am mad at ignorance.

I am mad that my back hurts.
I am mad at money.
I am mad at anxiety.

I am mad that rest is exhausting.
I am mad that I can't sleep through the night.
I am mad at my clouded mind.

I am mad that breathing and touching are dangerous.
I am mad at being told where and when I can go.
I am mad that people are sick.

I am mad that so much bad has happened.
I am mad because I am lonely.
I am mad at pride.

I am mad that social media gets me bent out of shape.
I am mad that we don't agree.
I am mad at fear.

I am mad that we hurt each other so much.
I am mad that I cry.
I am mad that I get so sad.

I am mad that depression captures me.
I am mad that I fail.
I am mad that I care what people think.

I am so mad about so much
but Jesus is still patient with me.
Sometime being mad is unavoidable. This doesn't make being mad a good thing, but we do have to acknowledge that it is a thing. Many things make many different people mad. Maybe you relate to some of these things. All I know, is at the end of the day, when I am mad, Jesus is still patient with me.

Feeling that you're still with him?
Its frustrating.
The feeling that she loves him and she doesn't likes you...
Its kind of annoying.

And the moment I knew that you left him.
That was satisfying.
But the feeling that you're with me.
Its exciting.

The feeling that you got your crush to like you back
It is Amazing!
The feeling that you loved me and you said I love you for the first time...

My heart is racing,
My lungs are pounding.
That moment.
Its surprising!
Yet its unforgetting.

Realizing that we could be a thing.
And were under the moon and stars, your beauty is so captivating, and I'm literally mesmerizing.

But seeing you hugging him that night.
Maybe your getting back tonight?
My feelings are deeply hurt inside.
Well I'm mad but I have no right...

Drowning in a sea full of tears.
I thought we could've lasted for years.
Well cheers!
Let's drink some beers!

I hope this memory disappears!
Even if you're near,
A few blocks from here,
Let's make things clear.

I was there!
When you needed someone.
I was there!
When you were crying all night.
I was there!
When you need to open up something.
I was there!

But reality hits me.
Who am I? To get jealous?
Who am I? To love you?
And who am I? To stop the both of you.

It was all a dream,
I was assuming.
You don't even like me.
I was not the one that you're seeking
That it hurts so much!
That I'm regretting.

And I thought that we could be a thing.
We could workout as something.
I really thought that we were a something.
Something special to each other.
But you guys are something,
Someone who are meant to be.
That is not for me.
You guys are really something.
A pair, a perfect two that made us nothing.

Deep inside,
My heart is breaking.
My heart is Aching.
I don't know the words to say it but its literally
Hurting...
The feeling inside like its splitting.

I keep on overthinking.
This is just getting worst.
I should be sleeping.
But I remembered we just go and on, all night talking.

Even if the sun is up,
Were still not stopping.
I thought Our love will last,
I was Hoping.

"I miss you!"
That was our greeting.
That was the very first thing that were sending,
And receiving.
However I didn't said good bye to you.
All I said is I truly love you...

A day has gone by,
Let's move on and let this day get by.
This is my last try,
Well Now good bye...
You know these feelings?

On the right path -> Diverted off-track.
Whole and complete -> convinced of lack.

Laughing imbicility -> Fatalistic and sad.
Understandingly forgiving -> impossibly mad.
Totally good -> enjoyable bad.

Zest for life -> inviting suicide.
No remorse -> regretfully tried.
Never always -> honestly lied.

Timid fear -> Daring and bold.
Genuine character -> hypocritically cold.
Religiously devout -> soul's been sold.

Musically inclined -> can't keep a beat.
Social butterfly -> never want to meet.
Sour face -> smiling so sweet.

Always the same -> subject to change.
Seeking normality -> incredibly strange.
Demandingly certain -> just to re-arrange

… Remind you of anyone?...

Into the f o r e s t, I shall go

To lose my m i n d and find my soul

A pattern for patter, rain k i s s e s the ground

A m u s i c a l around me of nature's sound

The d e e p e r I'm in, the more I shall find

A party of c o l o r s of all of the kind

A w o r l d without end, my mind I will send

Into the forest, where my s o u l has been

i want to feel again
i want to be able to write again
i want to put my feelings into words
but whenever I write, there's nothing
and i'm reminded that i don't feel anything anymore
i want to be mad at the person who broke me but i cant because that person is still the one i love up until now and my love for her is the only thing i feel right now

there are some things i can’t write poetry about

the nights when i stare into my reflection
and don’t recognize the face i see

the times when i feel like i’m moving at a different pace than the world around me

the moments when i’m surrounded by people but i feel so alone

when my heart beats out of it’s cage and i think i might die any minute

when i feel so hopeless that i can’t help but throw my head against the nearest surface

when i sit down in the shower and let the water caress me in ways no other person ever has

i realized that i will die before my younger sister
how do i write a ******* poem about that

it’s my birthday in about a week and i didn’t think i’d make it this long
i don’t know if i’m happy or sad about it

so some things can’t be written beautifully
or i haven’t processed them enough to string them into stanzas yet
who knows
