Another one
who grovels to them
when all you should do
is bid them farewell.
I just watched
a documentary about
the first female winner
of the Nobel Peace Prize

      1905

      Bertha von Suttner

why is it

115 years later
still so difficult
to make peace?
Wealthy people have a knack
Of making contributions
They don’t let trials get them down
But focus on solutions

So don’t let anger conquer you
Or seek out retribution
But seek to take the higher road
And offer a solution

Of several ways to undertake
A problem’s diminution
The best by far is simply choose
A mindset of solution

So cultivate this daily choice
There are no substitutions
To making it your daily goal
To seek out good solutions

Every kiss you give is a stab I take.
Getting closer to beheading.
Careless and cold your touch, your hug.
I'm so tired of the begging.

it’s you.
the forbidden one that i’ve always been told is bad for me.
it’s you.

you are the reason i’ve hit my rock bottom.
my mother tells me i’m not the same.
i wish i could hit rewind back to autumn.

before i ever got addicted.
i never would’ve even considered you.
it’s almost as if this whole thing was scripted.

call me crazy but i don’t think i’ll ever get over you.
you’ve taken too much control.
i wish this whole situation wasn’t true.

i’m addicted to a drug.
but the drug is a human,
and the human is you.
i think i’m addicted to the thought of people. almost as if i make up a whole *** person in my head using someone that i know. ****** hate it.

For every
minute
you are angry,

you lose
60 seconds
of happiness.

The darkness seemed to envelope me


The folds and crevices beckoned to thee


It was so huge it swallowed me up 


To escape would take all of my luck 


I took it into my arms and pushed it in


Oh how my arms felt fragile and thin


Eternity was the time it took


Until my mind was raw and shook


The darkness I had defeated thee


Yes I had defeated the horrid LAUNDRY


Then there was more
Who has this problem?

Behind her smiles hides a story
A story that not known by many
Wearing her best mask is not easy
'cos underneath, her tears are falling
And pain is part of her living

A weakened self can't be able to fly
Because of her anxious mind that liquefy
That makes her stranded in death sea
Drawning in blood sweat and tears
Can't escape from island of her fears


Thoughts are overflowing
She over think about everything
Tired of all the things she's facing
She wonder if it's really worth living

Ain't happy neither sad
Just feelin' it bad
Being not good enough
Only can do is to be tough
And have faith in God
Life is not unfair if everything happen aren't of your will.

i’m so scared that one day i’ll wake up
and tell myself i’m giving up.
i’m so scared of losing,
losing myself to my problems.
i’m so scared that when i wake up that day
i realised my problems will stay with me forever
the day i realised i can no longer fight for myself..
