I try
And try
And try
And try
And try

And try
But still
I'm not
Enough
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of the person in the mirror and wonder what anyone sees in them
i’m worth much more
than you were giving me
you weren’t worth anything
i gave you

I say I’m fine,
It’s just easier that way,
No questions asked,
No truth to betray.

I smile and nod,
While I’m breaking inside,
Too scared to speak,
So I run and hide.

I’m tired of lying,
Tired of pain,
Wishing this silence
Would wash away like rain.
I can’t keep it in anymore and I know it. But I just can’t speak out the words.
Sometimes I think, if
we dig deep enough
in our minds, we will
find words, which, if
committed to paper,
no longer control us.
I called you my soulmate
Not because of your beautiful smiles
Not because of the heat from your heart
Not because of your lively laughter
Not because of your flowery scent
Not because of your sweetest kisses
A soul doesn't need any senses
To know when it is in love
 3d McKenna
Akriti
A lonely heart,
in a lonely world,
is always in search of
an oasis of love.
The worse sin is pride,
it leaves others open wide,
as you keep digging
for ultimate success.
Your mother may be proud,
Your Papa may be proud,
but the exploitation
to get you in that seat
of losing your humanity,
Is why it's the ultimate sin.
Adapting to the mirror-side
darkness of your evil twin.
I'm agnostic but I do believe in the 7 deadly sins. Pride of one's work too much as they climb the ladder to the point they fire people who need the money so their families are not home-less, over-take people, neglect their families and lovers. They lose their humanity in the pursuit of money. Be human as you achieve your goals and be fair to those who you know. Be understanding and not about the money.

it's an awfully bright afternoon
to be this sad.
if i try to take the smallest of breaths,
maybe the  world would forget about me - again.
if i tried a bit harder,
maybe i'll forget too.
Every day feels like I'm drowning in my thoughts.
I cannot run from it.
Nightmare becomes a scream, but rain is not an option.

I tried to become a star
It shines, but it is filled with lies.
Every clap sounds like a clown.
Cry me a river, I swear I'd drown myself.
