I hadn't realized, not in weeks or years,  
My reflection silent, hiding all my fears.  
The hurtful ones, the liars, the deceit,  
The ones who punished others just for breathing, just for being free.  

They were the ones who laughed and danced,  
While I sat still, trapped in a waiting trance.  
I hid in shadows, unseen, unknown,  
A ghost among the living, always alone.  

They played with life, free of guilt,  
While I wore the weight, the silence built.  
I was the punching bag, the teddy thrown aside,  
The one they never needed, the one they couldn’t hide.  

The loser they defined me as,  
But I was more than what they saw in glass.  
A heart still waiting, still unseen,  
In the spaces in between.

pain and problem fall
into mind separate slow
we realize truth

The moment I ground myself and let Go,  

When I become a realist and Grow

Realise it shouldn't Be...

Is the dreaded day I silence the fraction of hope found in Me.
Poetic T Aug 2020
If we were exact copies we would find the faults
                                                      that­ make us un-unique..
For some would have a mole in a certain place.
                      Unclean to the others who view
themselves as a perfection of ignorance....

We must all be different to realise that perfection
                    is found in the intricate imperfections

of evolution.

Our faults are what makes
                                    every living thing outstanding,

as were a creation of random fluidity
                                   that makes us no better than those before us,
now, or those who are born
             before our fading
                      of our unique imprint on this pebble.

We all a grain that makes a mark no matter
             our finite moment in this ocean



of finite waves...

It seemed like everyone fell apart
The board never hit the dart

Everytime i tried to speak for myself
Felt like i was nothing but an elf

When no one was willing to talk
I just went for a little walk

I started to overthink and then came in my mind
No one was ever gonna be very kind

I just went to bed thinking tomorrow will be a better day
But who knew all the thoughts would get lost in the way

Then i thought of pulling a line
But yet there was no sunshine
Just a realisation of how everything works out
