Left, right, upside down accommodation
Of her beauty took place
Within my eye into
My yellow spot of visualizing
Sight but that's all hallucination...

Why do I feel unsafe?
In a place where love
Is supposed to comfort me
Giving you my all
I will be there with my whole heart
Yet, I feel cold
Unsatisfied with these results
It must be my fault
For my expectations
Was not to judge
This situation we are now in

You let this behavior be okay
Because you could always get away
The freedom was there
And I was waiting for you in this box
You created for me
Making me think I was safe
Sitting alone in the dark
Waiting for your return…
You don't show up
Out there, you spoil others with your presences
I try to peak
Sotto voce pulling me into the light
Grabbing your attention
Discontinuing the thought
That I could see what you do
To me

Does it hurt to know I don’t want to be like you?
Does it hurt to know I want to be like me?

It’s okay for you to walk over me
I demanded for it
I asked you to treat me in a way
You would not want
That’s why I am here
Still, all by myself
In this box you made for me
I see a different side…
Over time and I can’t help it
But my faith to you is changing
Maybe because the faith you had
Was unfaithful and never ending
So with my changed thoughts
I address to you

Does it hurt to know I don’t want to be like you?
Does it hurt to know I want to be like me?

With this new voice
I scream!

Does it hurt to know I don’t want you?
Does it hurt to know this has been me?

Is this a dream
Or a nightmare?
it doesn't feel real, anymore.
There's too much PAIN and CONFUSING
in this real life then they promised me
when I was younger........
They told me I would have a fairy tale ending but
I don't see no fairy tale here...
They lied. I wish I had someone to tell me
not to grow up, like I do to the younger kids I meet.
Oh, how I would take to being 8 again
and not caring where or when my next meal
will be or health care.
Oh the joys of childhood
THAT I MISS.
>>Don't wish to grow up!<<

Did you know you can trick the brain; even if there is no trick. Simply by tricking it into thinking that it's been tricked.

I want to want her like a glass of wine
With an endless taste, and a deep draft
Waiting for me at the end of each day

Bitter and sweet like the summer tea  
With a hint of dandelions, and her hair brushed gently away   

Although this is me...you need not see, or want her in a similar way
But it's best if you could acquire the taste.

Because when you hold an endless glass
You can sit and sip your life away
Without care or concern for those moments past

Slowly like a semisweet
A Merlot or Chardonnay

How I want to want her like a glass of win
So that I can drink her in
And be drunk on her at the end of each day
Small sips...someday.

I am trying
To see the bright side
But that's hard
Because although I am happy now
I am terrified
That I never will be again

I COMPOSE MY POEMS
ON TOPICS I SEE
HOW YOU REACT IS
TOTALLY UP TO THEE

OR HARM OR CONTEMPT
JUST INFORMATION I COLLECT
A POEM I ATTEMPT


THE WORDS EVOKE EMOTION
THE TYPE SET DOSE NOT MATTER
HOW YOU UNDERSTAND THE POEM
WILL START INTERNET CHATTER
