#faulty - Hello Poetry

A brain like mine, the brain of an addict, can justify anything Drumming up excuses that defy reasoning Connecting dots with miles of red string Coming to conclusions that are baffling "The problem was this here faulty Icarus wing" "Setting me up for failure back when I was seventeen" Not the fact of the constant nosediving Bracing for impact, the anticipations paralyzing It was easier to hide it in the begining Can't hide it now, so let's call it ageing The lack of a fatal crash is a bit puzzling No complaining It's just surprising Kinda thought I'd be death defying 'Till I became stuck in the sky flying high, Ignoring every warning Didn't think it possible to hit the ground running But now I'm panicking I didn't plan for a second half, that fact is terrifying Far scarier than any thought of dying I wish I was lying ©2024

A faulty start, I lost all my stars Personally, I became a recluse Truly afraid to be abuse. Envious of some solemn luck, In love, I am an ugly duck. I **** in many ways, seems no one is able to stay. Its okay. Just pretend, as you did not hear Do not count me, as I am not here. Moreover, hide as if I did not know your there. So do not love me as if you needed me Just love me sincerely Or else better don’t I am better alone - anyways….

Even Doc Holliday had one friend I don't even have one someone who'd pretend Or one that's pretend Maybe it's my fault, I am noticing a common thread But what do I even matter, what does it even matter in the end? ©2024

From day one, from the moment I was given one, my compass has had a faulty magnet Why was that written into my script? And why didn't I get a say in any of it? Shouldn't I have been given a manuscript? Explaining, for one thing, why I have to combat life and everything that comes with it? How would you go about it? Can't I just shrug it off, maybe let some shiit slip? My path doesn't always need to be backlit Certainly not by the ember of my burnout that fell from orbit The punishment never fit the crime but I still submit that most of the claims are, in themselves, counterfeit But I didn't quit in a panic Not every life is a good investment So I made the corporate decision to forfeit Call it an early retirement The more fitting term is a forced exit ©2024

It was nothing you ever wished, Nothing but a sweet curve upon my face. I lost my right to call your name, The day I lost my grace. You were always fair, Far from foul. It was I to be blamed, I a treacherous ghoul. It is just to blame me, It is just to hate. Trapped in between love and guilt, Will you leave me to my fate ? I have a lot to say, Trust me it's not a bait. But ymif you're yet not ready, I will forever wait. Talk to me once, Like moon to the night. I know it'll forever be my fault, Will you leave me out of light ? Will you ever forgive me ? If I lift the blame. If I tell you how sorry I am, Will we ever be the same ?

Sometimes we forget the things we don't see. We look at the smiles and think it's okay... We hear laughter, someone's happy... We are so painfully human that we take things at face value... And we forget that most fatal wounds are often unseen, unvoiced.

Humane Fault

Sometimes we forget the things we don't see. We look at the smiles and think it's okay... We hear laughter, someone's happy... We are so painfully human that we take things at face value... And we forget that most fatal wounds are often unseen, unvoiced.

*One, Two, Three, Four...* ...Watch as sorrow filled tears fall upon the floor. *Five, Six, Seven, Eight...* ...Days like these you come to hate. *Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve...* ...It only gets worse the deeper I delve. *Twelve, Eleven, Ten, Nine...* ...It only ever feels like im the only one tryin'. *Eight, Seven, Six, Five...* ...Guess higher places, I need to strive. *Four. Three. Two, One...* ...Forgive me if all I do is turn and run.

It's complicated, the reason I said goodbye. It wasn't you or me but the connection in between. It was that connection that made me want to move to be closer to you, but all at the same time be farther away than ever from someone I was supposed to love.

The Connection
