#conditionallove
Love my fluffy friend more than stranger parents. My innocent friend, don’t follow trend, Always same, always bland, Soaked in invisible blood stains. Soul bleeds, life is a mess. Fairytale is a home, lifelong bless. World demands unaddressed sacrifice, Always it scales the less. Providers have the crown of madness, laser light of so much pride More than the Almighty? On the pointed light, we search a corner to hide. They demand exchange, More obedience than so little guidance, From every way possible. Aren’t we kids human? Not all-rounder in every syllable. In this so called perfect world not everything is doable. Mock your looks, the love for your academic books. They say nothing matters Losers can't fight That’s how each night A fragile heart shatters. Not everyone is a topper, A beauty with wisdom , Chef, also good vegetable chopper. Not a full-time cleaner, Not a extraordinary kid and to whom world says clever Work all time, no exchange of wages, The meter of scale never truly changes. Pillow, the transparent pain you swallow, Leaves my tired eyes hollow. It hurts so much I can’t sleep, Biting my dear pillow, I silence my broken weep. Tried to keep All your demands in my hand , it stabbed too deep. It bleeds every day, Searching for the Almighty In the clouds, swaying leaves Who never demands, only gives. Buried my sleep I was never meant to keep. Gave up spectacles who promised better sight World laughs, they don’t like. (A) gets mockery over the study of hours after cleaning, chopping, cooking, being a best kid I dropped the lid of life Dropped my clingy weight — Scale wants only 45. Still, world says to little ones, “Don’t be like her, she is 1 out of 85.” A soft pillow, where we search for comfort, We blame the illegal claim. Pain sings by every broken chord. Where is pain? Yearn for God. So near, but so far, Lord of scale up there But here, scale is the only proof, Charges rent in obedience, Reward is just a roof. Here heart stays unkept. I am stuck in Life debt.

Life Debt
Love my fluffy friend more than stranger parents. My innocent friend, don’t follow trend, Always same, always bland, Soaked in invisible blood stains. Soul bleeds, life is a mess. Fairytale is a home, lifelong bless. World demands unaddressed sacrifice, Always it scales the less. Providers have the crown of madness, laser light of so much pride More than the Almighty?

__I. Ignition__ _(1st Gear)_ We built this bond with bolts and wires, not warmth. Call it a connection— but it was code, calibrated smiles and pre-programmed concern. You turned the key, and I came alive Just long enough to move when you needed motion. ________________________________________ __II. Drive__ _(2nd Gear)_ We were just motorheads, revving louder than we felt. Not riders—just parts in motion. Fueling the ride, but never the journey. You drove me— not toward a future, but to the edge, where metal meets rust, where trust wears thin. Your “drive” was reserved for those who mapped your ending in their eyes— those who promised arrival, but never shared the breakdowns. ________________________________________ __III. End__ _(3rd Gear)_ But not everyone is there for the real ride. Only a few stayed when the wheels locked and the road curved off course. So if this message reaches you— the ones who truly cared— know this: you weren’t just passengers. You were the engine.

Fueled by Few
i do well with criteria, i must confess, it acts as a guideline to avoid a mess, i always fulfill criteria with dedication, to earn your love, my aspiration. but anxiety takes hold within my heart, when love is shown without a chart, without standards to guide your affection, i question if it's really a genuine connection. if you were to leave, i'd blame my own strife, my inadequacy would be the result of this life, for without criteria to prove my worth, then i am nothing but a piece of dirt.

Conditional love Poured by the Sun She pines for him The secret passion to be returned Her yearning unsatisfied One side it's day The other, the night Following you around Brighten her other side The nocturnal eros Fill her with your light Always in circle, always in sight To remind you of your dark & your light Your warmth fills her air With tears and despair She builds walls, black & blue cloud Then reaps her sow, thunderous & loud Everyday is a fight Your unconditional love Her longing, her plight Chase away her grayness Fill her with your light.

Fill her with your light
conditional love leaves a sour taste on your tongue when you were raised on candy it comes as a surprise but not everyone’s like you your mother will say It’s hard excepting that some people will only love you based on what you give them.

And the truth is, I am only lonely because I'd rather stand alone. then stand with people who love me at their convenience.

Not Just Another One
Anything or Anyone now is his way of coping. Entertaining, and using them. Hoping that they fill the void. But we both know there won't be another. So why bother? Like that pacifier for the baby, they'll silence the sadness. For the time being. But that can only last so long, soon you'll come to your senses. It'll all come crashing down and you'll have to deal with those feelings. So profound, and distinct. This isn't what you hoped it'd be. Letting them occupy your space, all while trying to get rid of me. Play time is over, time to face the truth. You allowed artificial love to pacify you.
