#halfempty - Hello Poetry

Your words were diamonds, glimmering with hope, before they cut jagged and sharp. I’ve been shattered, ever since you sunk in, hapazardly slapping shiny patches over the hard scratches. I am mended for a time, glass half full, until one inspects the small rivulet seeping through the splinters. A brook weeping at the seams, glass half empty.

the glass is neither half full, nor half empty. it is rather full and overflowing. it, then, creates an ocean of images of past lovers.

Glass half full Glass half empty Want me to quit this Don't try to tempt me Learning how to love And grow except he Can't and he knows it.. The glass on the table, not so stable, but I know it just sits there, I wanna change but I'm know I'm not able... to follow my dreams, it's not as it seems, sometimes it just creeps in, depression just seeps in, change doesn't seem to fit in yeah I see the same people, day in, day out, these people are the reason I see you... when it gets bad and things get worse, sitting in the dark and fly with this curse... Glass half full Glass half empty Want me to quit this Don't try to tempt me Learning how to love And grow except he Can't and he knows it... You know time goes by, so better let me rhyme, you know these rythmic rhythms are mine, all time, used to rap about gold and grime, all the things you have when life is fine, but now I'm staying in mind, for its my brothers I'm out to find, skipping countries to find, ya'll like "join us" I decline, your soul relies on crime, half empty just like mine, all these petty rappers been outshined, and every single time I try these thoughts in my mind take control of what's left redefined in my life, who knows what's left in the sky once I'm refined, no clouds, stay loud, what's left to my right, half empty half full it's my place in life I have to find... yeah... Glass half full Glass half empty Know I can't quit this Don't try to tempt me Know how to love And already grown except he Can't and he knows it.. Can't and you know it... Can't and I know it...

Half living, half dead I hear voices in my head Half crazy, half sane Cryingly laughing in vain Half empty, half full Glass is broken after all Half super, half not Don't know what I've got Half glowing, half dark Keep on flashing that spark Half satan, half god Half good or half bad Half yin, half yang Half old, half young Half nothing. It doesn't make any sense .

Is the glass half empty? Is the glass half full? Different perspectives and opinions may not always be right To me the glass is full Even though showing its not All about looking at things differently And making room for change and improvement Even if others don't feel it's right

I paint your body with my hands You paint my mind with tattoos that you planted with a needle No thread What are your plans? No threat In debt In deep like a sunken ship in the sea Your deep blue eyes consume me with their secrets Your Hidden features You're an angel with her wings clipped forgot how to fly Maybe too close to the sun Maybe too close to someone Who caused you too much pain Too much fire for a volatile combustible soul. When you find me I'll be waiting in the lobby staring at a hole in the wall feeling half empty With a half full drink in each hand.

Rapid heart, beating fast, dips and dives within delight Post you - sunshine rays, my days overflow with promise and pleasure A cup half full? Was I a fool, to believe this life would limit what it grants me? That life would cast me aside, once I find, I desire more? Now with you, I clearly see, society's aim to tame, their need to divide this rising tide, to give us tunnel vision, to spread belief of this allowance, of only half a cup of happy With you it's waterfalls of euphoria, society I reject your cup! Instead I shall bathe within the depths of us and swim within this lagoon of love To me, this could never be, just a cup half full

Alone That’s all I am in this open empty state. And exhausted. So fricking tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally exhausted. And the glass feels half empty. Though the sky is so full; I can’t help but feel alone. Because no matter how much love is handed to me faked for my benefit, for their gain, it’s nothing real. There’s nothing gained only lost. One more broken piece of myself handed away. One more wasted day. useless. And wasteful. But hopeful, at least. Maybe… Am I even progressing? Or am I moving backwards? to the crap that used to be…? I can hold myself up, but after so long my strength goes slack. because I know what I lack. I feel so dang alone and can any of us really, make it alone?
