I'm constantly torn between
"Don't be rude" and
"Don't let them push you around"
Opinions? I'm struggling with this today. People keep telling me that I shouldn't let anyone push me into something that makes me uncomfortable, but the other part of me is telling me not to be rude and just to deal with it.  There are too many details to write them all here, but shouldn't it be okay for me to stand up for myself?

ok okay
Do you see the other side
When your dreams will not let you breathe?

I have not experienced a natural disaster but I've held one within me

I only write,
when
I am in love
or
Falling apart.

I only have 5 minutes
To spare this poetry
Here it goes:

5.
I do not wish to be seen
Said the old man in me
So leave me alone
Cause I don't want to be

4.
For I've been running away
This is what I hate
And I envy everyone else
Who are not in the same fate.

3.
What have I become?
Where will I go?
The questions are left unanswered
And I've searched high and low.

2.
To be strong once more
In my world full of doubt
To be strong while I lose
In my latest bout.

1.
I wish I had more time
Just like before
I only have 5 minutes
And I wish I had more.

It’s a vital red
A scorpion’s sting
A piercing and
Unending scream
It ripped apart the
Heart of me
And still it
Goes on running
if you are too tired to speak
sit next to me
i am fluent in the language of silence

Sometimes i wonder do you
Remember me like i remember you.

soft
Some days I am swimming,
most days I am sinking.
There is never a day where I
can simply just float.
