You drown your own bravery
Before it has a chance to rise
You lie sad and restless
Unable to close your eyes
Your voice waivers, trying to trick me
You lie in slurs, unable to disguise
You are a fiction of my hopeful imagination
And were never really there at all
Now you find yourself as you have before
Standing in fizzy solitude
Dreams of better days lie crumpled on the floor
You are an amber shadow
I don't love you anymore

They say I **** at writing,
They say I **** at grammar,
They say I made syntax errors,
They say I made orthographic errors...

They say you are not good enough to express yourself,
They say learn English, you first grader..

They say I am too bad at everything,
That means  I am too bad even at expressing myself..

They say you are good for nothing...
Ah they are my real peers!

And with a different teaching style
I love the people who love cursing me for my good, and I promise I would show them that I am worth their anger - I would improve my English soon. :-)

Everything is so versatile,
I wait for hours for you,
To just talk for a while.

You have a half minute conversation,
And am left with eyes of tears and face with smile.
What if I could let you know of, without hesitation?

But you are someone's, not mine...
And one day with this schedule,
My darling, I'd be fine.

Though it hurts a lot, that everything you forgot.
But now, I love the symbol of my love, these tears brine...
They take away all the anger for you every moment.

And I am made to love you even more,
Even though, for you am a parallel line..
I bolt the door and spill my emotions on the floor...

Have you ever seen my condition through that peep hole?
Let me name him, gladiator for this site.. Am just too afraid to ever let him know about my feelings... Just mine, after all...

Managers are approachable
So are tigers
Authentic smiles involve the eyes
Smize baby smize

in the morning
when i told you
that i want you
and needed you

i'm not sure what i meant by that

something
takes over
in the wake of
past lovers

i just want you here

meanings
and feelings
sure signs
and readings

lead my mind along the way

arms wide
heart closed off
your crooked smile
my smoker's cough

we are sure set to tragedy

i'll press on
and fret not
with blind eye
& muted thought

it's what soothes the mind, at times

there's no shame
in wanting
what's so pure
and haunting

flooding now the world around

in rose tinted
perfumed
oceans of the
blood spewed

from the people you became

when you got in your own way
