#deserving
who on the council decides the deserving? those who get chosen and those who don’t who decides who will ***** their finger on a rose? who decides the deserving? those who will thrive and those who will perish? why a man sleeps on silk sheets and his neighbor sleeps on the floor? who decides the undeserving? those who’s souls are trying to claw through their skin? those who’s bodies reject care and love? who decides the undeserving? is there a vote? an application? it’s been a while since the councils been updated

the deserving 🖤
Stabbed in the back I never bled Heart ripped out Not one cracked rib Contorted and twisted trying to fit a mold Almost did but didn't break Absorbed every physical blow Not a single bruise did it make Took in each syllable of every verbal assault Still I stand tall Blamed for trust and abandonment red flags forged by others Still couldn't crush my spirit at all Opened up and bared it all just to have it used as ammunition Refused to clam up completely Kicked repeatedly when down Tried to prove it's deserved, couldn't convince me PSYCH!! HAPPY NATIONAL OPPOSITE DAY! ©2024

When I say I care little about you Please know it's the absolute full amount of truth I hate that I can't scream it at you Won't forget all you put us through Just another father on paper, a DAD tattoo I swore it wouldn't be a preview Now I look in the mirror and take a swing at you I try to break through to this other dimension too pull you through Take back a lifetime that doesn't belong to you Do my best too squeezed it out of you Count to three, pull on two, forced to play and pay what's due Not on queue, but life caught up with you Couldn't have happened too a more deserving fool, though way overdue I didn't cling to tissue, I knew I wouldn't miss you Already grieved for you back in '02 And I knew I'd never let the son of your son know you Not as a man I knew, not as nothin' but a cautionary tale of what not to do With both middle fingers to the earth I say thank you ©2023

This is what I see when I look at you, someone that the world has beaten down over and over yet this has only made you stronger instead of a victim someone that has pulled himself out of the darkness countless times only to have it make him brighter I see someone who has been lost with no direction yet created a map through the unknown to guide you home I see someone who has fought someone that gives his all someone that loves so hard he sometimes forgets to love himself I see someone that has the world waiting at his fingers tips someone that deserves peace someone I am more than proud of I wish you could see yourself through my eyes

Deserving (Haiku)

what you truly deserve
Soon you will meet that person who will hold you on your depth of despair. Soon you will meet that person who will hate hurting your heart. Soon you will meet that person who will take care of your heart because he knows how damaged you were. And soon you will meet that person who you truly deserve. You will meet him. Trust me. Never settle for anything less than what you deserve.

i am consumed
They've finally had their fill the sad housing and slavery swill no more producing the toys for bad girls, fat men, bad boys The day has finally arrived all the years of being, deprived no more to tally the whip producing the best workmanship Yes, it's come to a peak freedom is what they now seek so wonder not my friends the elves are seeking amends

When elves go bad
The world doesn't owe you a **** thing. Hard work doesn't entitle you to a better life, neither does lineage, money or otherwise. You aren't entitled to ANYthing. Some people get more than they "deserve". Other people get less. "Deserving" is a manufactured concept to allow us to pity ourselves when we acquire less of a good thing or more of a bad thing than we expected. When something bad happens to you, you didn't deserve it. When something amazing happens to you, you didn't deserve it. Our very existence is a gift, and saying we deserve anything more than to be alive is purely arrogant. Be thankful for every drop of water, every grain of sand, and every speck of dust you have because one day, you may not have those anymore. So cherish the ones who you love, because one day, they may no longer be there either.

SHE IS ....
i've never met you and yet i know that your soul is made of starlight and at night i glimpse your rays arching through the skies searching, ever searching for the warmth of another starlit soul with which to collide it hurts to watch it unfold your shine instead collides with rock and darkness siphoning parts of you away and yet still you light up the world giving, always giving every inch of your being until your starlight fades to grey

I sometimes forget that parents were once teenagers too, Ones that would sometimes break rules and casually say **** you, I sometimes forget that parents also dream, Ones that would imagine breathing at the top and proudly be in their realm, I sometimes forget, that parents have feelings, Ones that would lie awake at night and thinking they're horrible beings, I sometimes forget, that parents get scared, Ones that would fear if they aren't able to get food on the table and unprepared. I sometimes forget, that i take my parents for granted, that life had never really given them what they wanted, and think that **** I could never not love my beautiful parents.

You deserve the stars my love. When the world can only gives you street lights You deserve all the glory When the world only gives you praises You deserve happiness When the world gives hell on earth to you You deserve love When the world only knows hatred Remember Love.. You deserve everything that is Good.

What You deserve.
Tattered and bruised, feeling used. Let the dust settle, and wonder where I am, where you last left me. Kept me in the dark long enough for me to understand that I don't need the light. The dust has sealed tight upon my skin. Yet again, I feel the doubt filling in my pigments. Are you different? Forgiveness is something I've longed for, what right do I have to strip it from you. Am I different? How many times must I forgive you? Am I truly deserving of that forgiveness as you are? Are we the same?
