i know* you dream of stars and rockets
you want your wonders and night skies
a whole earth free and full of comets
forget the worry and the plans

but there alone i find some shelter
your eyes are now the darkest sky
and of my earth you are the center
my biggest wonder is your mind

you know i dream of being with you
and tell you stories while you fall asleep
some song will play so soft and gentle
while you can softly gently weep

i know you need a soul beside you
to tell you that you've got the sky
and while we lie here in the darkness
the brightest lights are in your eyes
lately i need music
to lull me to sleep
beautiful melodies
lure me into dreams
silence doesn't cut it
in silence my mind screams
it seems silence is louder
than i can manage
so i put in my head phones
and music acts as a bandage.
in this life,
you have two choices
either you open your eyes,
or keep them closed

pick your poison,
what will you drown in?
will you drown in darkness
or will you drown in what is fake?

What do you see?
I see a crooked nose & asymmetrical features everywhere
What do you see?
I see saggy ******* & ***** freckles everywhere
What do you see?
I see a fat boy who’s trying so hard to breathe
What do you see?
I see a skinny girl who looks like a stick

What do i see?
I see a guy who made his single-mother proud by getting a degree
What do i see?
I see a lady who dances like she owns the world
What do i see?
I see a boy who runs knowing he’s better than this
What do i see?
I see a girl working at her age to let her siblings eat


What you think you see
Is what others seen

The best in you.
You scrutinized on what you are
**Others perceived on what you've done.
Everyone has insecurities that they tried to hide or deny.
Most of them exposed themselves to be deprived on how or what they look like. Sometimes we just forget to just be ourselves.  To be human.
words will never be enough
no matter what you say
words can't ever change my mind
or have my opinion sway
words won't alter how I feel
words cannot help or hide
the truth that we have always known
the truth that's been inside
that words will NEVER be enough
because words are full of lies
words can't hold my face or hands
or look me in the eyes
but then again you can't do that
you were too afraid
of all the silly words you said
and the promises you made
at first your words were enough
I thought that you were true
I believed you even when,
you said, "I love you"
so now, words will never be enough
because your words were fake
if you think your words will save you now
that is a mistake.
I keep earnestly asking the flowers…
desperately,                                
ripping away,
                           each petal,
saying the magic words
Again.
and
Again.
eventually receiving the outcome
that I long for,
waiting for something,
                                     anything.
to change.
believing that everything will happen
(just as the flowers have said)
knowing.                              
that
                         no matter
how hard
               I try.
Always in the back of my mind,
the unescapable ,
Truth.
HE LOVES ME NOT.
and so,
I keep earnestly asking the flowers.
Everything was always fine when I was driving
below the speed limit, in control, safe.
you asked to take the wheel
without waiting for an answer,
accelerated.
not yielding, speeding on sharp turns
winding down the narrow path
caution lights and stop signs
wouldn't slow your pace.
you made illegal "U" turns
and took road detours, That I was very much against
you scratched, the paint.
hit the curb, and bit the steering wheel...
there had never been any construction
on my road... until now.
there was a traffic jam
and you finally saw the redlight
but you were already finished
you turned the engine off
we sat in silence.
