Do you believe in reincarnation?

You made mistake with your previous relationship.
Determined and promised to yourself that it would be a lesson learned
New relationship came
This time, you'll gonna do it right.
You'll go an extra mile to make up with your past lapses.

You succeeded!
You made the present one happy.
You pampered with everything you can do.
That was the best moment in your life
And so does to your precious one.

But fate did not go easy on you.
A small conflict turned into a major one.
One is holding on
but the other one is letting go.
Different decision but same emotion - pain.

Perhaps, each choice has its own selfish reason.
A resolution considered as subjective satisfaction,
you both knew it would be the best conclusion
to an almost perfect love story you worked hard.

Still, you ended up hurting that person.
Just like you did with the previous one.
Does history repeat itself?
Or you are bound to relive your past life's faux pas...

...unless you find the answer to your unending woe.

My mind drawls blank
As the midnight crawls give me the shakes.
My body craves the in takes
Over lapping the mistakes
Needing a quick takes to help with the fixate.
Come on with all of the hate.
Right now pretty late to show up
For this court date
That land me in this hell of a frustrate.
Where is my drug to help me relate.
You don’t correlate this big faith
How the hell am I going to date
Bc of all of this speculate.
******* with all of the guns drawing blanks
It’s time to get straight.
Move the hell on with all of this guilty traits.
Mishaps

That night there was something different from his caress
So gentle, almost like a prayer
And just like every dream
Disappeared at the light of the dawn

Nobody ever tells you what you need to know
about life and growing up.

Nobody ever tells you that you'll become the person
you never wanted to become,
that you'll become destructive from the inside out,
or that you may witness events which will cause you
to become emotionally numb.

Nobody ever tells you anything valuable,
that you're breakable and irreplaceable.

First get yourself burned,
Then you'll learn because remember:


Nobody
Ever
Tells
You.

why can I not speak my mind
and why can my mouth not process
the words that flow effortlessly
in the poetry I write

and tonight.
I want to ignite a change
in my current life
find a way
to show everyone
what I might
and maybe
oh maybe
they'll want to venture
into my mind.

but oooooooh
so risky
and oooooooh
so dangerous

only the curiosity will lead
and all of their other needs
will stray behind like a shedding cat

multiple layers they'll uncover
the ones that are beautiful
have beautiful pictures and videos
well then theres the ones with devil like people
who take control of whom ever they get their grimy hands over

my mind hides all my inner knowledge
It inhabits my thoughts so they cannot be shared
why
though
why?
I have a plethora of ideas
just hidden behind an untouched
curtain
because
I don't have an answer
you'd expect me to
but I don't.

to all of this madness-

is there something I can do?
