I do not want your sympathy
When I tell you my story of how he took advantage of me.
I do not want your sorry.
I do not want your sigh.
I do not want your pity.
You will not see me cry.
I tell you my story, for you
Not for me.
I know the story well, don’t tell me your sorry

i don't need views
likes won't help me neither
sharing what I feel does
recognition is not needed
I just want someone to empathize
this is my way of reaching out
i apologize if you read my "stuff"
letting everything out makes me feel better
and this is where I feel home, in poetry
*the place where I call home, hello poetry and its community*

You twinkling eyes stare me down
Crying invisible tears of pity
You place your fading hand in mine
This is sympathy
I can't control my urge to flea
Your bleeding pupils hounding me
All I want is to escape
To a monochrome normality
That soft smile sickens me
I need fresh air
Away from concerned faces
Though they care
I can't help but feel
I am lesser

I'm isolated in this eggshell field
A barren land filled with people
They wield their swords of saviour
Dancing round my every sniffle
I feel chained down by their love
Suffocated by every fleeting word
Drowning in the sound of sympathy
I'd give anything to take back the day
That they found that I'm
Not quite okay because
They never listen now
When I say that
I am
I don't ask for sympathy.

I won't ask for love.

I'll wait until my judgement day to make peace with God above.

I don't take what isn't mine.

I won't kneel down to pray.

I've worked too hard for too **** long for far too ****** pay.

I don't know where this is going.

But I know, now, how it'll end.

I'll live, I'll work, I'll die and then-

I'll do it all again.
I hate sick men

Cause sick men are cry babies

Cry Babies are women

Women are pearls

Pearls are treasures

And i can't treasure a sick man

but

I can treasure men
Weakness

You have no idea
what it is that I need,
though you like to suppose
that you lie at the center
like a flame burning proud
in the winds of my judgment.
Yet, I may look one way
but walk another.
Do not follow me
only to persecute,
but walk beside me,
poised in transcience,
equivalently cradled
in the arms of error.
For you, too,
are a child in this life,
just as I.
Just as I.

Life, in a mannerism, they proclaim
Is fragile, untouchable, limitless, rather a chain
Life, the folks sing, as delightful and indescribable as it is, is only here to stay

I do not know where, I do not know why
But thoughts mingling within my nerves apply
A paradox of significance within the definition
Of the purposeful journey we call life

Albeit the good, we choose to focus rather unwisely
Precisely of course, over delusional mastery
Understanding only comes in hand when necessary
When it threatens our existence, calling Bravery

You see, humans as smart as we are perceived to be
Might as well be a laughing stock to the rest of the scene
What we value, we fail to pursue, what we preach, we fail to reach

Would it hurt to let go of Prejudice?
An individual who has been imagined by generations beforehand, woven by bits of uncertainty and; well, where is he?

Hold on, here comes another
Violence and Destruction stand on the porch
Should we let them in? Should we not?
They are there, ready, ready anytime temptation hits now

Humanity degrades what she has created
Humiliates what she has achieved, and criticizes her dignity
Worth has lost its value, hence wonder
What have we done to help save her?

Sense has lost all contact
With wicked games being played, selfish pact
Response no longer yearns for Suffering
Such that, we deceive our own sect

Where is Understanding when we need her?
A few doors down the street, go ahead and wake her
She has not heard from us for a while now
Last time we spoke, I reckon, was when our own path was in danger

Sometimes we all need
Someone to be there
Not to fix anything
Or to do anything
We just simply need them
To let us feel support
To show we are cared for
To show we are we are supported
Because I'm the end
We are needed.

so introverted
that no one heard it
when her heart caved in

Introducing you to the metal that I use to paint
But everytime I use this; I always faint
I'm carving it to my skin like a masterpiece
And everytime I do this it reminds me of broken pieces

I am the red artist in the dark night
The artist who lost her will to fight
So here am I trying to make an art
To my skin and to add bleeding to my heart

My works are not even worthy
They are calling it ******
But seeing my blood in my skin
I am an artist through thick and thin

You are judging me from what you saw
Not even knowing what's behind of my flaws
The best artist that people never noticed
Is now fighting with words as a poetess

The red blood on the floor
Symbolizes that I will now close the door
Of the darkess which I live in
And to my dear self, for how long since it has been?
