Sun
She looked at him like he was the sun,
In that she never looked at him,
Except out of frustration.

She complained when he was gone,
But she never looked.

On days he was stronger, she hid from him
On days he was muted, she complained.

She never looked at him until he was leaving,
And in the beauty of the sunset she wondered how,
She'd never seen him before
Found this on Tumblr a while ago, felt I’d share it
we could leave
we could hide
but you're too naive
you think too bright
"everything will work out"
but the more you tell me that
the more I start to doubt
If god is in LA, he’s on Skid Row
Not the Hills, or Santa Monica, not the Valley either
He’s not hanging from the rear view of your six figure transport
Tell me again how that Jesus piece got you that Rolls Royce
Like it was piety that gave you fame and fortune
Confess your sinless life if he has already given you everything
Was that why last year happened? And the year before?
Instead of saving the world he was helping you climb the ladder?
He can’t feed starving countries, but he grants you immortality?
Most people of the world **** in a bucket
But somehow you heard his voice before them
You needed God to tell you how to be a better person?
Had to read his words to learn right from wrong?
Like, it wasn’t obvious already?
I’ve read the words of God, in many languages
I know more about your God than you do
If he’s more focused on enriching your life
Maybe that’s why this place is so damaged
If he’s in this world, he’s got bigger concern than your millions
If he spends more time with you than those who suffer
Than God is not a very good one
And if your car costs more than a house
Than you’re not a very good believer
They came to me in
a febrile dream.
Whispered screams and
malformed limbs.
They wanted to drag
me to the hell they
came from, but I fought,
and got well.

Check out my you tube channel where I read my poetry.
What better way to love someone than intentionally?
Not because you have no choice but because you chose them.
I'm not perfect today,
I'm not better now,
I'm not on the criteria yet,
But i am practicing now.

I have not too much to write,
I don't have much knowledge,
But whatever i know,
I am satisfied now,
Because i am just practicing.

I have to know more,
I have to learn from you,
Yeah  i have to gain a lot,
Because i am just practicing.

Like a bird learn to fly,
I also have to learn.
I also have to rise,
Like a shining star in sky.
One day it might come true,
As i am practicing now.
i cannot feel my skin
im not somewhere else
but im not here either
im missing

They say life is short.
Then why does it also seem like the longest thing ever?
"Depression notes"
Also perhaps a small vent to let out this hopelessness I have had lately.

Hang in there everyone.
