Eyes sewn shut you could see right through me
A plastic  smile easily replaceable
Magnetic eyes I could t look away
Infectious laughter and a heart to die for
I to a dive and still no where to hide
To my surprise
Even through my ruse and deceit
I was still found and standing on my feet
Knew who I was didn't bother to run
She whispered with no remorse to say
You're the one

This is for the people who know how it feels to be at lost and thrown off balance.

For the people who know how it feels to plaster on a convincingly intoxicated facade so that they can drag their vacant yet burdensome bodies around without a doubt in mind.

The people who know that their world is beginning to slowly crumble around them while they try to hold onto the remaining pieces.

People who know and cease to believe that they have the ability and courage to let go of the dense obscurity in their chests to let in the weight lifting fluorescent.

Who know that they should give up but refuse to give in.

Those are the people who know.

And are not alone.
Please note: I want for whomever is going to read this poem to know that even though you may think and it might seem like you're completely alone, you're not. There is always that one person who's there for you, it could be anybody from your best friend to your grandmother for all you know, but there is always someone out there who is meant to look out and take care of you. Don't loose hope, keep going, not only for the people you care about but - most importantly - for yourself.
I love words and
I love metaphors.
I love the muse that inspires the words
and how flawlessly these words form metaphors.

I love deciding how people perceive me.
Even I am beautiful when painted metaphorically.
She spies the ants in bewilderment
A linear and meandering path
Undulating like a wave on a flat ocean
They are deliberate and sure

The ant spies the girl with indifference
Her path is unknown and random
Undulating in and out of reality
Her scars are deliberate and self-inflicted

The woman spies the man
His path is like the girl and the ant
Undulating like a *** of boiling water
The wounds he exacts are deep and copious
i want to experience things.
life,
and all of its ins and outs.
its beautiful sorrows and painstaking highs.
i am a girl hungry to see the world.
ready to consume the sights i have yet to see.
to drink in revolutionary ideas with my mind.
Through the colors of dusk, you enticed me
Wide-eyed and inquisitive
Laughing in modesty,
Yet filled with desire
Fast friends in honest notions
Too close too quickly, perhaps
Yet so similar in design
Too tight a fit
Too much to handle
Bonded passion through darkest night
The colors of dawn bid the possibilities adieu

How nice it would be
to walk into the sea
warm waters lapping my knees.
To go further into the surf
the warm sea of this earth
deeper still, until submerged
down deep until purged,
with the drowned of this world
floating and bloating in purgatory.

Sighing in the wind;
Million voices, yet silent
Lonely, like us all.
Inspired by the majestic big banyan tree I pass by every day
