Is it even possible to truly be cared about? Having someone to understand your feelings instead of just throwing you out?

Is it possible to be loved for everything you are? Even when the worst of you is the worst they've seen by far?
Marco Benitez Jan 2018
I remember I used to use it a lot more a long time ago. I would go up to any adult just start talking about the first thing that crawled into my infant head. I never lacked the knowledge or courage to start an interesting talk, but they told me to stop getting into other people’s conversations, so I stood quiet.

I used to have a great sense of sarcasm and a contagious shine that I always carried around. I would laugh my head off at every single thing I found funny, but they told me that I was being too loud, so I stood quiet.

They told me to always say the truth, and to keep their secrets. They told me to follow their orders, and to not answer back. They told me that they knew best and all along I stood quiet.
Just like that, they slowly cut my vocal cords one by one, and I stood quiet because I could not say anything wrong…




If I didn’t say anything.

As the years went by, my voice kept getting more used to being out of order. Its silence was so strong that I would have to force it to work when I was around them.
There was a point where they started uncomfortable with the absence of my voice, so they tried to make me open up to them. However, it was too late for that. I could no longer push my broken voice to do things it was not used to do, no matter how much I wanted it to.

They closed my voice, and I’m not ever opening it up to them again.







Be that as it may,







I don’t know, though, if my ears will be able to keep up with my voice.

You are not                                                              ­                          him,
And I'm not                                                              ­                          her,

You were like that but now                                                                  ­             
You sound a little of                                                               ­            me.
    I was like that but now                                                                  ­        

I come a little from                                                             ­               you.

Dear Tristan,

          They see good in you,
          But you know it's not there
Saumya Sep 2017
It's been these two years
Since we don't talk,
No chats,
No calls.

Yet I miss you
Every day, Every hour.
My mind wants to forget
But never does the heart.

Oh why did u?
Why did you depart.
You asked me to block you forever,
That something you knew
I couldn't think of ever.

You said I unfriended you,
And you  knew I could'nt ever.
You were to me so dear,
You still are dear.

But the thoughts of you,
Fill my heart with fear.
You asked me to leave
Giving a lame excuse.

I still ponder,
What took us there?
I was cute, & sweet
U were smart and clever.

But the reason u gave is still unclear,
How could you, or a guy anywhere,
Would think of ******* her sister!
That's a bond so piously precious.
And you could do this
Just because a child, she can never bear?

If you just said,
You've got someone else
That sure would be hard to hear,
But the fact that you left me for sister,
Is something that haunts me everywhere.

I did all things
A friend should do,
I regret the fact,
U never understood.

U lied,
U cheated,
And left this unclear,
Making me think what led us there.

I cry, I weep, and smile in despair,
Tis even today
I miss you with regrets and tears.

Why did you love,
When you had to leave,
When I needed you
Devoid of greed?

You fooled, You lied,
And ruined my life,
I was soo wrong then,
Thinking you were but the reason
Behind my smiles.

You try even today,
To text and call,
But I'm no more the one
Who desperately died to
Accept your calls.

Sometimes what's harsh,
And tears off one's heart,
Is but the best cure,
For a sobbing heart.

You played with me,
Abusing the young gal and childishness in me,
But sigh* you never knew the real me!

The one who cared for you,
More than herself,
Crossed all barriers,
She never even crossed for herself.


Simply because she loved you,
More than herself.


You left her saying,
You gotta **** your sister,
Boy, I feel pity for a sister!
She has a bro,
Who's but a monster,
Who'll never know
It's  shamefully sin,
For a bro, to **** her sister!
This poem is more a real.story about a boy, one of my friends met on a writing site, online.Intially they used to be very good friends, later, they exchanged no.s and things went more to night talks, and day chats etc. (The boy was 26, while the gal was 21) Since the very first day, when they first heard each other's voices on call, the boy behaved like he was so into the gal...And started asking the gal for a kiss. It was way to wierd and uncomfortable for her (For a good girl, obviously, things like these happening all of a sudden is quite uncomfortable, but she managed delaying things, and waiting patiently till he properly knew what kind of a guy he was) this boy, litterally forced her for the kiss, everytime they were on call, but never even took the effort of doing so...If he was so desperate lol, he himself could have done it  ;).well, things stayed the same for around 4 years, he used to play the game of blocking , and unblocking the gal, thinking she was innocent and could do what he wished anyway.(He never knew, that the gal was way more stubborn than innocent she was, and did exactly what she felt Ryt, and exactly at the time she felt was OK) she continued delaying, and the guy continued his games and pranks on her
One fine day, when he thought this wasn't working with this gal, He asked her to do one thing for her, what was it? She asked her to block him from all places, where they could  contact. It was obviously wierd ,why was he asking this all of a sudden. Plus, since the gal actually loved him it was both tough and unacceptable for her to think of it. Sigh* thank heaven ! These two never saw each other in person....This gal was weeping incessantly, yet was brave enough to chat with him like she was not much agitated.
She asked the guy why should she block him? He answered, ' things work one way with me, either talk, and enjoy all the sexually abusive  kind of thing I talk about, else leave me forever! She said what?&;He clarified with a yet new strange reply, saying, 'see, I'm an *** person (idk what is it) and I want you to block me, since my mother checks my phone everyday, and I can't manage blocking you, plus, my I've a sister, who's married and is having problem in conception, since her husband has ******* problem, and therefore she has asked me to do it for them!
This was seriously the most rediculous things, this gal could've even thought of! She asked him if he was serious? And there came a one word reply, 'yes!' ...The gal lost her control, and asked it for he last tym with the message, 'So, you seriously want to leave me forever?' and then there came a reply, 'please block me, I have to go today too..TCR.' she saw the message, and replied, ' Thankyou for everything, Bye forever :(' and then came the reply, 'Thankyou for blocking'.

But it was hard for her to block him so she left. It was after 3 days, there came a message '?' this things geared her boiling anger and then she blocked him. Later after 3 months he unblocked him.
Also he blamed her before she blocked him, that she had already unfriended him on Facebook, which actually he had, not she, a forgot, and wasn't ready to accept. She blocked him there, and he's still blocked there, next when she checked the writing site they met on, she discovered that he had blocked him there, too, and full of rage, she blocked him there too.
But yes, neither the gal, nor the guy had blocked each other's no. For phone calls. But that day, she strictly warned him not to call or text her again, but after that blocking thing, he tried calling the gal ;sometimes, but she either ignored his calls, or switched off her phone.

Afterall, after all this there was nothing left to talk about.and even if she managed receiving his call, she wouldn't be able to talk since she had immense pain in her heart, and his voice could only let the tears flow incessant, barely allowing her to speak.
Also, she decided never to be a problem in his life anymore, by completely taking her out if this otherwise love and lust triangle.

Feel free to let me know your honest thoughts, suggestion, etc on this.
Thankyou for reading :)

Ill
You know the feeling that you get when you miss a step
That feeling when you turned right when you should’ve turned left?
When everyone has left, that’s not the type of feeling that you should get
Doctors say it’s not normal to feel like you’re falling
While lying down in bed
Then say the drugs will make you stop feeling
And it won’t be all that bad
I do exercises that help me with my breathing
And I listen to what is said
But
You know that feeling that you get when you’ve tried something for the fifth time
And it still hasn’t worked
That feeling when everyone is telling you to stop worrying,
And still that feeling lurked
Doctors don’t know what causes that feeling to stay longer that it should
They say it’s a chemical problem
Do they understand that they haven't really made a breakthrough yet
And I’m afraid I know the problem
This can only be understood by those who have felt it
Doctor, this guessing game, is not working for your patients believe them

When they say it’s hard to wake up, it’s not just physical fatigue
When they say it’s hard to cheer up, it’s not just a chemical lack of harmony
When they say it’s hard to go on, it’s not just the brains longing for the happy pill

The soul is ill
I'm so tired you guys. I can't go on living and no one gets it. Even my medication doesn't know what to do... it's driving me crazy. I'm venting. Gosh I'm useless.

How can you be an overgrown unicorn running through a grass field just
to get to your achievements?
How you can be a being that's accepted by everybody and don't have any
enemies or crazed fanatics?
How can you live a normal decent life without the violence and corruption
on every corner you turn to?
How could you be a positive influence when everything you've done in the
past comes back to haunt you?
they don't wanna see you succeed,
they don't wanna see you achieve,
they don't wanna see you graduate,
they don't wanna see you educate,
they don't wanna see you build a company,
they don't wanna see you making money,
they don't wanna see you go to college,
they don't wanna see you have knowledge.
In The World that we all live in today . I Say **** Em Lets move on,
The doubts and cheap talk comes free to ignorant people,
most of you can't even write sentences,
when in doubt don't let words get you down,
In a country , if you are black , they put you down,
Art Imitates Reality , that's what a good friend just taught us
last year , i ain't saying no names,
Can't be silenced in a world where if you speak the truth,
you could expect to be aimed,
Freethinking all time , I can't be tamed,
Family issues in my own home , And I'm blamed,
Conditions come worse than expected in this life,
Hope your minds not too closed just to beat shame,
we all got problems that need be solved,
Negative people remember your name,
and it seems every year the property value goes up that's the real shame.

They who know the oak      learn there is wisdom
written in nature     words cannot describe.
12:30 - 31/07/17

State of mind: calm; deep thought.
Perspective: natural; spiritual.

Thoughts: from thinking - that to truly understand something, you have to experience it for yourself. To read about it, or know of another's interpretation, dilutes the power of witnessing something firsthand. In the instance of the oak tree, its knowledge is in the understanding; the understanding is in the sensation; the sensation is in the experience.

We know only what our senses reveal, and they are rooted in our nature, the nature that makes of men what it has made of oak trees. What truth has been revealed is that which makes sense. What is beyond sense, may well be beyond us, simply because it is too much. The light that shines, increases gradually, so there is time to adapt to the intensity that awaits.

There is a memory that exists in nature. It remembers. We can learn all we want to from what has been recorded, but if we should reveal something for ourselves, of ourselves, in ourselves... those things can be found by reflection. The knowledge of ourselves is in the reflection of experience. Make of life what you experience.

Questions: What exists beyond sensation?
