What is it that makes one better
In this competitive world ?

What is it that makes one better,
In this creative world ?

What is it that makes one better
In this poetry world ?

What is it that makes your poem
Better than mine ?

Is it the cleverness of your rhymes,
Which fits so neatly into every line ?

Is it the complexity of one’s word
That portrays you as a “nerd”?

Is it the gender?
Or is it ones race?

Is it popularity ?
Or is it ones age ?

Is it experience ?
Because I think it has to do with willingness
And eagerness and how determined one is
Rather than the colour of skin

What makes you better than me ?
What makes you succeed?

Is it because of my background ?
Or is it because I’m not a tinge of brown?

Don’t judge me because of my frown,
That I wear and embrace like a crown .

I’m here too,
I have a purpose too

Don’t overlook me,
Don’t overlook us.

Give each a chance to S H I N E.

It doesn’t matter how hard I try,
I still see you.

No matter how hard I try
To scrub my thoughts free of you,
I still see you.

I still see you in the smiles of little kids,
Still see you in the anger of men
Still see you in the little things I do,
How I laugh at the mishaps of other and myself
And heartbreak,
To make the situation not that bad.
All I see is you.

But no matter what I do,
I can never see you coming back,
Maybe that’s why I keep looking behind my back
Looking around corners
And looking in between cracks
Maybe that’s why I still cling onto you
Maybe that’s why I still write about you,
Because I secretly hope you’ll come back.

No matter what I do, I still see you.

Note to self :
Nobody likes you and
Nobody cares.
They're just satisfying their curiosity,
By saying they do.

Everyone complains about how long my showers take.
I wish they understood that they're my only time to break.
Out of my thoughts and out of my head.
Out of this place, constant swimming with dread.
wet
scrub
rinse
repeat
No need to think
So blissful and sweet.

I caught myself
daydreaming
of you
again.
Your lips
burning holes
in my throat.
"Is this okay?"
Yes.
It is.
I shake my head
Once,
Twice,
to get you out.
math
focus on math
But ******,
you're better
than math.

Tomorrow would have made three months since we got together
But it's not so because approximately one month ago,
you said you were done and you l  e  f  t  ..

It’s been three months and I still remember what you smelt like the first time we met,
And how your eyes shone like the blade I used to write bad memories of us on my skin.

I still remember your lips, and how pinkish red they were,
like the blood which would flow from the cracks on my skin
And yes I still remember that kiss.

I still remember spending almost $5 on you in one day
And I still remember that playful look on your face
When I was irritated by you being late on our little 'dates'.
They weren't dates but that's what I refer to it as, as each time we had something to give.

The first time I gave you my heart warming smile,
While you gave the me that look in your eyes,
The one that said : "It's alright"

On the second ‘date’, I gave you two bags of my favourite chips
And you gave me a slice of cake which you baked and I still remember how it tasted.
It tasted like that thing that we had,
I think we called it love.

The third time you gave me a kiss a hug, a cake and that same look that said : "It's alright"
And the hug,
The hug that made me fell safe.
As if you knew I was delicate
And you wanted to protect me from pain
But in the end, that's what I gained.

It's been a month and I still can't understand what happened that day.
The day you walked away..

It's sad that we spent two hours,
Laughing an chatting about you
And your fabulous love life
And not once did you ask if i was okay
Not once did you ask me about my love life.
Well, I don't have one anymore,
In case you were wondering..
People are inconsiderate
