#improving - Hello Poetry

I want too mean it when I say I'm working to improve But I know I'm on borrowed time due too a marriot of conflicting issues Turning greener pastures different shades of blues Most of the root doesn't even originate from my property, Still the hardest to remove Doesn't help I'm held accountable for the damage my damage, Caused by others mind you, Always accrues I think I've overpaid my dues ©2024

Powerless I finally get up, i leave you behind Now i'm free Senseless I cry of joy as mom holds me in her arms Now i feel Empty I paint 'til i can't feel my hands anymore and my cheeks hurt a sweet ache caused by my smile Now i create Ugly I look in the mirror I don't see a stranger Now i am But not really I'm not Not now

Greatness isn't for those, Who gets satisfied merely by seeing their old work And think 'This is it!' But instead for those who observe their own work, And think 'I wonder how I can top this'.

Work

Greatness isn't for those, Who gets satisfied merely by seeing their old work And think 'This is it!' But instead for those who observe their own work, And think 'I wonder how I can top this'.

If no one comes from the future To stop you from doing it Then how bad of a decision Can it really be

While standing I'm up so high After so long it feels right You don't even have to try You'll be soaring, like a kite. Standing beats laying down Would you rather Stand and walk around town Or laze around. But don't stand too long Or else you might fall So try to stay strong Move past this life's wall.

I've fallen in love with Self-Deprecation. I found her teetering the edge of Self-Destruction Testing Her limits with every acquaintance. She lets Her life hang in the doorframe either land on her feet or the knot takes Her name Teasing bad decisions with Svedka soaked sexts. I've fallen in love with inception. I left Self in an echo of a room against cement bricks of incarceration.

As I stand and look at the mirror, I wonder, what challenges life will throw at me. I think on what danger could happen . With my mind at peace and my heart at rest, I take each day step by step. I know that one day I will be rid of my nightmares and know that it can be possible for me to change something fantastic in life. but for now, I just keep looking in the mirror and wondering.

When I'm home, I have an apple every night, It makes me feel good. When I'm in school, I don't even have an apple everyday. I spend more time in school, Than I do at home, It's torture, And home; Home doesn't leave me feeling so dandy either, The apples help me. I guess that partially explains, Why this sea of depression, Is only getting deeper, And I still don't know how to swim, In a pool.

¿¿When Did Fruits Become A Coping Mechanism??

When I'm home, I have an apple every night, It makes me feel good. When I'm in school, I don't even have an apple everyday. I spend more time in school, Than I do at home, It's torture, And home; Home doesn't leave me feeling so dandy either, The apples help me. I guess that partially explains, Why this sea of depression, Is only getting deeper, And I still don't know how to swim, In a pool.

I heard in a song that you’re only as good as your last mistake. And I’ve never been more thankful for humans ability to make millions. So you’ll never be my last, because I’m better than that. Burning toast and eating it anyway. Buying shampoo when I actually needed conditioner. Showing up late to a meeting. Missing the first day of class. Studying for an exam two hours before it starts. Not turning in an assignment because I just simply didn’t want to do it. Not leaving my pajamas or bed when there’s so much to do. Apologizing when they bumped into me. Lying to people who care, I’m okay. Not locking my door. Walking alone at night. I’d rather be defined by all of these things than you.

Mistakes

I heard in a song that you’re only as good as your last mistake. And I’ve never been more thankful for humans ability to make millions. So you’ll never be my last, because I’m better than that. Burning toast and eating it anyway. Buying shampoo when I actually needed conditioner. Showing up late to a meeting. Missing the first day of class. Studying for an exam two hours before it starts. Not turning in an assignment because I just simply didn’t want to do it. Not leaving my pajamas or bed when there’s so much to do. Apologizing when they bumped into me. Lying to people who care, I’m okay. Not locking my door. Walking alone at night. I’d rather be defined by all of these things than you.
