I have worn this face for so long
And won in convincing my soul in this world i don't belong
A look i have spiced with a smile
With a glow that beckons from a mile
This is a camouflage of demons inside me
Poetry and lines with dirge theme
Deceiving mask of hapiness
Yet my heart echoes with emptiness
Behind this veil am spent and shattered
My sanity all over scattered

  My face is just a book cover
You need to peruse my chapters over and over
At the end of my story
You will choose to worry or be sorry
The truth will be full blown
Reality will dawn
My face is just a prison with no walls
Which confines my secrets and all ills
Behind every beauty there is a beast
Ready to devour and feast
On our true identity

You're draining us

We're spent

This is the last time I swear it

Your siblings don't ask us for help

My siblings don't pay rent.

No matter how hard you work

And what bills you pay

Millennials were born behind the glory day.

This is the road I used to walk to school,
here's a shop, where I used to buy sweets,
and in this house, here, lived a girl I secretly loved.

This is my favourite cherry tree,
this is my house, my home,
and this is my mum, my dad,
my brother and my sister, happy times.  

I'm not in the picture, no, I'm not.
Why? Let's say because I... I was taking this shot.

there are no stars
in your eyes
there are no sparks
in your moves
there is no hearty laughter
in your breath
there is no compassion
in your action
there is no enthusiasm
in your being

with me.

There is no me
in your love anymore.

I cut myself today and I was bleeding
words...

Now that I think of it, I have been feeling sick
since the first day I met you

So...
You have infected me with love...
And I, have become a poet

Don't you have mercy on me?!

You cruel beautiful soul You

This is for every single night
That the world just seems so black & white
And I'm not there to quiet
The voices rushing through your tired mind

When the box you live in
Begins to box you in
And the person in the mirror
Is a stranger to the one under your skin

Please know wherever I may be
It'll always be you & me --
Lonely freaks on distant streets
Remembering the days we used to be free

Free from the impending death
Of our ever deteriorating heads --
Up all night in our oversized beds
Dreaming of things that hadn't happened yet

Fighting over nothing at all
But always there when the other would fall
Busting down each other's walls
To show our fears were oh-so-small

And I know I've gone away
Left you high and dry
But promise me you won't forget
That we are under the same sky
Looking at the same stars every single night --
The world's not so black & white --
Please just hold onto your life
Until I'm there again to turn your darkness into light,
*And know I love you, sister of mine
