this is how i know you are a bad friend.
you know the game,
but don't know you're the player.
secrets are meant to be kept
not to be vied in your selfishness.
but go ahead, keep doing what you do best,
we'll see who wins this time.
more like the inability to make good judgements. sorry not sorry.

A year ago my life changed,
terminal illnesses did the deed.

The deed that was simply a
mystery in front of millions
that had no idea how to go
about solving it.

Cancer.

And now it is done with and
a year has passed,
but with the passing of time
came the passing of grief
as We Have Been Cured.

A Getaway
adept Mar 2018
I can’t think for
Myself
Everyone around me
Is getting better and
I am just stuck.

Everyone around me
Is independent and
Successful,
Leaving me
Hanging fire.

No one listens,
No one is there,
No one cares,
But yet I am forced
Into believing things
That are wrong,
In my eyes.

Forced to believe you.

Inclusive
adept Mar 2018
For I am absent mindlessly waiting for a beginning,
For an emancipation,
For an assisted dying statue,
For a cure,
For a salvation of the world,
For peace among the worlds indifference,
For some sort of distance.

And at the same time,
Waiting to stop running from myself.

forever gaping wounds
adept Apr 2018
you like to rip me to pieces
every chance you get
then pick me back up
and try to put me back together
like a puzzle,
execpt now, i am too damaged to be
put back together,
my pieces don't fit together like
they are supposed to-
like everyone else.
and even some are left missing...
to be specific
the only piece truly missing
would be the one
in between my third and forth rib,
on the left side of my chest.

adept Jun 2018
there are often times i am caught in a
position i can’t handle.
i want more than anything to make everyone  happy, not being able to do
that tears me apart. it’s an endless
cycle of what happens to be
my biggest fear; disappointment.

but i have learned, that no matter how hard i try, i can’t save the world
forever unfinished business

we all hurt
but someone out there
is hurting worse.

we don’t consider that though

we don’t know what we have until it’s gone
adept Apr 2018
I have been in this
Position one too many
Times, and this time
Hurts the worst.
But the reason I help,
The reason I care, is
Because I realize that
You have been there too
And I look up to you for
Getting through it.
adept Oct 2018
i need you to come back home,
but even the people that deserve

dear dad,
adept Dec 2019
i’ve hated u for a long time.
u took everything from me
my home, family, faith, happiness, and sanity
u were angry
so angry u hurt us
and so drunk u didn’t remember
i wanted to get away but i couldn’t escape
do u know who u r or what u have done?
u have turned into the man that u hate the most
and don’t seem to care
u have hurt ur only son
who doesn’t understand and u know better
a full grown man is supposed to have more empathy and sense than a child with disabilities
yet he won’t call u dad anymore
he even knows better
i want my life back
i want u to not be so blind

but now ur sick
and i don’t know what to feel
now i’m scrambling for guidance
and u don’t even have a clue

Insightfully Blind
adept Mar 2018
For one moment of my life
I want someone to care.
I want someone to look at me asking
'are you okay?' and really
want to know the true answer.

But people don't always get what they want,
life isn't fair?
Is that the excuse so you don't have to deal
with me?

Everyday is getting worse,
My head is in a dark place.
And no one wants to enlighten it.

a trauma suffered by the innocent
was the picture painted.

that little boy deserved love
but just sitting next to him in that police station
told me he got the opposite

he had burns on his legs
and bruises on his face

he was only 8
“what r u here for?”

the torture is relentless
adept May 2018
it officially can not get any worse than this.
i feel like we have regressed and went back in time, and that is the worst feeling.

the past is filled with emotions and actions solely with the potential and willingness of evil.
adept Apr 2018
i feel so strongly about you
and try to show it.
maybe you are just blind
or maybe i am just
making too many excuses for you.

i don't deserve this, i have done
nothing wrong.
but i still feel guilty

and yes, of course i have a close friend
that can listen so this weight
can be lifted
but if i told them
i could hurt them,
and make them feel the same way.

"I was below empty"
adept Apr 2018
so many People talk about me behind my back,
They are claiming to be my friend and
make fun of me.
have They ever thought "maybe she is tired of it
and thats why she doesn't laugh"?

i wish i was different too and
if only you knew what i do to make
others happy. but i will give you a hint
and it involves making myself miserable.

and all i need you to do is stop and think
for only one second before you speak of me.
adept May 2018
i don't know what to do,
i feel so guilty and would
switch places with you if i could.
but the world and the way it works
is cruel and doesn't work like that.

Though you only mean to protect me
a lot of the time you do just the opposite.

life goes on?
adept May 2018
Why is it always the best people that we lose first?

since i was young i was told
over and over again
that life wasn't fair,
everything happens for a reason,
and that when we look at death
we have to see that person and know we will
see them again in the future.
but i look at it now and
don't understand anymore.

if everything happens for a reason
then explain this to me, how could
someone bring bad and suffering upon
a person knowingly? why would you do
this if you know it will hurt others?

it's in times like this i tend to lose my sanity,
hope, and faith.

i know you too well.
adept May 2018
i almost feel bad, then i remember you deserve it.
you deserve all the wrong that could be felt,
and everyone tells me to forgive, but how can i
when you gave me something i will never forget?

and even still no one understands.
even if they act like they do.

it was your actions that gave me trust issues
and because of that, the "i love you" that is
supposed to come from the heart, is all a lie.
not everything is as good as it seems
115 · Mar 2018
i'm crushed.
adept Mar 2018
We met you again
just months ago.

And today you have helped
pull my family apart.

So good job,
I hope you're happy.
adept Apr 2018
People see through to you
even when you don't want
them to.
So don't do this to yourself,
not when I can't help.

adept Mar 2018
I know there is little chance of you seeing this.
But it is just a reminder to you,
that sometimes people have to do
things that are unconvinient for them to make a
healthier, better life for you.

People are sick, and another person
may have to take themselves away to
make them better.
adept May 2018
we cluelessly create conversation
suddenly unaware of the world around us,
out of care and out of loyalty for the people we claim to love.

adept Apr 2018
A distance.
You are a part of me,
that was taken away.
Little did I know that with out you,
I fall apart completly.

I look at your face,
behind you an airport;
where you leave me,
for who knows how long.

And you never know how much I break,
and I don't want you to ever find out.
Though you often see glimpses of this-
calling you crying, desperate for
someone to hear me out.

Don't leave me again,
I can't take it anymore,
you mean more to me than
anyone else.
Don't forget that.

I will always need you,
and one day we will find a way
for you to stay.

But for now, you leave tomorrow.
But for now, I will keep breaking.
But for now, we will keep wishing.

And the next time I see you I will try
to fill you in on life here.
But I don't ever think you
will keep up.

So I will see you later,
whenever later may be.
adept May 2018
when it comes to her,
you are harsh, to the point,
angry with anything going wrong.
but show no care to anything else around you,
no recollection of how the other
person that you are talking to will feel.

but the truth is i know what you are feeling
better than you do. and even if you don't want to,
trust me.
"don't ever talk about it"

eventually you get used to others
being sorry, you get tired of the pity
and would rather them say
nothing at all. all you want is
someone to talk to that relates.
and at the moment there is no one...

Burst into tears.
I am not sure what
Has gotten into me,
There has been a lot
On my mind I guess.

Everyone’s opinions-
But I have to be strong
For my own good.
Don’t judge the people around you, trust me they have enough going on without you joining in.

And now I can’t recognize you.

Saw through to me.
