#hiddenemotions
Whenever I meet you, the heart says I love you— perhaps thousands, or I don’t know how many times. Yet somehow, the words never come out. They can’t reach your ears; maybe you will never hear the sound. So I pause and observe you quietly through my eyes, so that in the world of memories, my imaginations can never learn to die.

The Hidden Face of Laughter
I am the lonely portrait— a relic of forgotten frames, paused mid-stroke, as if the brush lost faith in its worth My skin is painted by many words; learning how to be tough, taking down note by hesitant note— while the music always plays in a minor key, an echo with no crescendo, a verse that never becomes a chorus. I speak in shadows— duelling the lovely dark that dresses itself as company. It moves like an earthquake beneath ribs, quiet until it’s catastrophic, gentle until it crumbles; paramount and omnipotent. My tears are potent, but never that important – imported; as they arrive like a contraband emotion, smuggled in through brief touches, but never held long enough to feel like home. No comfort in the snuggle, only a struggle for the struggle — I carry a thousand reflections, yet none are my own. And still, I try—stroke by trembling stroke— to repaint my worth without a muse, without applause, just silence and canvas and longing. I am the painter’s sad poem— unfinished, unframed; hanging quietly in a gallery no one walks through anymore.

The Gallery No One Walks Through
I'm starting at the finish line, Head spins, blood flushes through Adrenaline bolting than sound. Am I late blooming? Dried Leaves seem young. Ecstasies dance off my guts. As I dine to the feel of butterflies While being swept off my feet My heart now leads my brain. The suspense of romance persists. Obvious mistakes embed to the core. I guess I'm losing control. Entanglement of emotions, The fear to hurt is now the compass. As the globe shrinks so small I guess I'm a late bloomer.

Late Bloomer
A normal teenage girl Thats all you will see Until you take a deeper look into what is me When you take the time You will see I am not all what you may have believed I am deeper than you ever anticipated me to be So young and naive Yet I am anything but I have had my fair share of heartbreak and bad luck My bad days started long long ago In a time when I had nowhere to go I did what I could Yet I was hopeless and scared Thought I was damaged beyond any repair Then 3 years ago I met my best friend That little did I know was there till the very end She protected me And helped me to heal Heal everything inside and everything out I felt better then Knowing she was there Knowing I had someone who cared She saved my life in more ways than one I owe everything to her Everything for sure As you can see I am far more than you thought me to be All we care to ever see Is what is put before our eyes What we fail to observe Is what is behind the mask The mask we all wear to throw people a curve See if they truly care Or if they just don't mind Taking us for just what they see Taking us for face value
