So many people
All problems collide.
So many problems
All people decide.
Whose business it is
To get involved.
Do you really think
Your world is revolved?
Over their baggage,
Over their mentality?
This is not your concern
Focus on your own **** reality.
You don't own,
Your're not needed.
Know your limits
And know when to leave it.
When you are in need
To help a friend with greed.
Tell them their importance and the truth.
Forget what the others think and people who are rude.
We are all just as important.
Not needing, just aware.
Don't be their mother,
Just let them know you really care.
Friends aren't in the role to admonish and reprimand.
Role of a friend is to give time to be there,
And a helping hand.

I wrote your name
Once
Twice
Thrice
'Til I memorized it.
I wrote your name
Ten times
A hundred times
A million times
'Til it didn't look familiar anymore.

Unable to find good jobs
Or get out

We are tired
Tired of being so poor

You are poetry.
Every square centimeter of your existence
Is it’s own iambic pentameter .
& I can’t help but notice
the way your smile never fails to rhyme with your cheekbones.

Hell isn't as bad as it seems
Our only **E
scape is a dream
Love was never A permanent solution
We thought it was Real
Time took away all our smiles
Breathing isn't an option
You were Ruthless for another word
But my days were slowly Ending
And you couldn't bear the pain
So you Killed my heart by not speaking

DC raw love
a love for life
is full of meaning

a life of hatred
has no meaning

the blood we shed
the tears we cry

a life long adventure
for one reason why

why don't they care
why don't they face life

no reason at all
but only doubt

why don't they try
why are they mad

they have no reason
so i don't want them sad

one day they'll know
i was only teaching

in different ways
for all the right reasons

they'll eventually learn
the ways of life

the reason i do this
is i want them strong

strong for feelings
strong for life

it's their beginning
they should know life
