Pain came easily to her
Happiness proceeded with caution
Faith misdirected by her emotions
Nails bitten down, loose fit pants
Familiarity disguised as good
The Mask Falls and all that's left is a new chapter
Where pain is the past
Happiness runs all the red lights to get to me
Faith no longer dictated by my emotions for that day
Nails grown in, a reminder as the wind Whispers, familiarity isn't always safe and if not careful easily I'm convinced otherwise.
I put the mask on and turn the page

Unsaid words
don't warm them
but pierce you
like daggers
once they're gone.

"I bet your mother would be proud of you "
I am raised in a home where emotions are only noticed when you are in tears or a fit of rage

There once was a man
Named David P Carroll
Who fell madly in love
With a girl so beautiful
And bright
And in his arms
She'll stay
Safe from all harms and
Her beauty did gleam
Like a heavenly dream and
Our heart's will beat
In perfect harmony and
Forever and always our love will stand
A testament to the power of hand in hand.
True Love ❤️❤️

A storm
Is what best describes me
A storm
Is all I could ever be

Dark, depressing, angry
Tears are falling like raindrops
Directing the wind towards me
Wishing it would only stop

A storm
Mixing all the thoughts in my head
A storm
In which I end up dead

Waiting for the sun to rise
And for its rays to mesmerize my eyes
Into believing I'm fine
And that it's finally my time to shine

In the middle of a storm
I'll be my own guide
In the middle of a storm
I'll find a purpose in life
I just want to see the light

When I look at the pictures that I used to take
Of us sitting together,
saw your beaming face.
The beautiful poses that you used to do
Oh how I wish I could come back to you

Why do I tear up when memories are no more
The feelings worked over
You walked out the door
I no longer exist to you
Maybe its better
That you never see the poem
Enclosed in this letter.
I poem I wrote during a breakup, some of my better work with rhyme specifically.

I am Lost

My soul resonates
with the prettiest and darkest things.
I feel and hurt
and live and rejoice
and die and hate
and forgive.
I do it all
in a whirlwind of emotions so no wonder.
No wonder
I don’t know what’s forward or backwards or even what to say
Or do next.
I am so lost.
Quiet winds whisper,
Not all battles are your own —
Leave them to the storm.
Stay out of matters that aren't your business. 😊
