They don't know how it feels

to awake every morning,
and all they can wonder is
why they had even awoken

They don't know how it feels

to pick up all of their pieces,
and put them back together
but still feel like they're broken

They don't know how it feels

to say all that they can say,
and still feel like there's more
but every word has been spoken

They don't know how it feels

to go to sleep every night,
and the only hope they have
is that their eyes will not open

My life is filled with plot-holes.  
But these made me whole.

we are covered
in scars
from internal
fistfights
that bled through
to the outside

fake memories
she's the only
knife
that worth
my bloods

I wear a mask tonight
So that no one can gaze at my windows
I have been sad for almost half of my life
And yet the gift of bitterness is what I receive
From you...

Let me wear this mask tonight
And just look at my smile
Which brings sunshine in your eyes

At least for tonight...

I know it may seem odd
But sometimes
I can be in a crowd
And still feel alone

There is a world of blessing  
that is awaiting to surround me,
but piles of dust and ashes
are the only things around me

There is a world of beauty
that is awaiting to find me,
but this prison of darkness 
has locked and confined me

Scatterbrained I stare outside my window pane.
Once clear with a yard fresh the falling rain.
The flowers bloomed as meadow gained.
Now the yard is due for fall leaf change,
As cold will come and snow will show.
The earth renewal in humane plow.
Once the budded seed's
Now dead as the ground.
Venturing into a new phase,
Embarking into another, where sister's and brother's meet on the holiday's. A gravy bowl on Christmas day, thanksgiving for the giving again and again. Grandchildren to dress up as Indian's and pilgrim's, tradition mixed with fiction. Wife in the kitchen. While at that time nothing could be sweeter then my family in my eyes.

I had the craziest dream last night
not sure if it was a full moon
or if all the stars were aligned
but all my past boyfriends were in my room
even some of the crazy ones I met online

My first thought was to scream and yell
I was like great they are here to haunt me
They said it was not like that at all
Only here to say hello and wish me well

Wish me well I thought, what kind of **** is this?
Am I going to die tonight or something?
No need to think of this as a negative visit
and anyways please remember
it was not us who did most of the dumping...

They then told me this:
*We all have a new life now
and it is time we all get on with it
it is okay to think of the past from time to time
but live for the present and future
your current friends and family
is what should be on your mind

A man says,
"In the urge of living a better life
and to get a better choice
I have tasted all the possible choices.
But one choice which I always had
at the back of my mind is what I am left with today.
And I don't know if this is my choice which leads me to a better life".
And I say,
Go for a choice where Ur heart is,
Your heart will lead you to a better life not a mere choice.

Thou knowest nothing
Until thou art ready
To dieth for love;

Until then
Thou knoweth not
What love is.

Don't bury me in the dirt
A place for grass , spring flowers and trees
Nor slip my body overboard
There's too much trash at sea
Don't burn my remains
I'm against air pollution you see
Just send me down the road
Make fertilizer out of me
I'm already full of BS you see .
