I try to smile
They say I'm sly

I try to move on
They make me go alone

I try to give up
They can't see why

I want to be fine
But they hold the bind

Why?

They've never been on my side
I was naive
I was blind
I should've realized

They are killing me slowly
The world is judging me surely

I try to live
I really do
I'm trying to hold my life
So please
Please drop the knife

There are very few times that people have said exactly what is on my mind.
The only time i can even think of that happening is when i started dating you.
They said that if we broke up it would be my fault.
i agreed before they said it.
A girl like you one does not dump.
You're either a guy's one or his one that got away.

They say long distance is pointless
But with you I score
They say love less
But I can only love you more

By Arcassin Burnham




sitting back in my studies,
i guess im home,
old girl,
tried to see me when i wasnt home,
talking slang to others in the parking lot,
they get suspicious when they see the up and coming cops,
federals took my cousins,
dieing in the fear of needing a sense of guilt,
glad there were no guns bursting,
no clarity in the media when he was killed,
born into an unfair life,
like hitting the club full of gays,
or prostitution all over the streets,
or maybe your uncle shooting drugs in an abandoned place,

guess they were right,
when they said the best things in life were free..........

Forget what they say
In gossipy ways
Smirking to a crowd.
Pointing fingers to find control
Flicking others down
Embodying a spirit other than their own.
A loneliness giveaway
Cursing at the stars
Messengers of denial
One can see it from afar.

The worst feeling
Is being a human in this world
And being misunderstood
By the ones you love.

You are one with yourself,
Picking up your feet
And bringing them to one destination
To the other.

Your experiences are like a snowflake
Different from others in every way.

But when you build yourself off
From those places and events,
You become something.
Someone.
Human.
Different.

The ones you love watch it happen.
But they don't actually see it.
Or feel it.

They become to misunderstand you.

Because when you stand there
Naked with your words,
They tell you,what they think you are.
They tell you, "you don't understand." They tell you all the things you thought you weren't.
They tell you all the things that burn the fire that was long dead many years ago creating a devastation in its wake.

I'm alive and I'm breathing,
And you tell me:
"You don't understand."

I wish I wish he'd
stop with the hitting'.
Whenever he's
present new
bruises start burning'.

I wish I wish she'd
know of my burden.
With monsters their
presence I
locked in a cavern.

I wish I wish they'd
hear me sighing.
Judgmental minds
present that
keeps me from trying.

And
I wish I wish you'd
see through this poem.
Acknowledge my
presence and
tell me I'm mistaken.

Because it's not.

leave me a comment.
