Don't waste your life
They say
It's such a gift
let's waste mine instead
how should I say
Gosh
there is bunch of miff
drink a wine
and enjoy my days
don't be depressed
see me abandoned,
here,
in the middle of ways....

These members are not my own
They seep through the rapids
As I drown

They ask me questions
They tell me what to do
How to feel
And then condrtridict their own

*** am I supposed to do
When I can't get through?
Leave comments
Feels like dimensions
Feels like I'm never on my own wave legnth
Its intrusive and controlling
Like messages being beamed into my subconscious

Here's some things
I'd love to do tonight
Why don't you pick one?

But you just plopped down
And feel asleep
Well that was lots of fun...

But now at least
I can watch you sleep
That's a nice compromise

The only problem's
With lids shut tight
Can't stare into your eyes

i can’t find them
i can’t find anything
i’ve lost them all
in piles
of clothes
or pens
or paints.
i just saw them
why can’t i
just *******
grab them.
people say organization is important
and to them it makes sense.
i tell them that i know.
i do.
i know.
but if my brain is a mess
as it has been forever,
will i lose myself if i organize it?
I don't know. I'm going through a rough, rough time of lacking motivation and inspiration. My head is whirling with ideas but every time I get them out they aren't good enough.

Most nights
At 3am
I wonder
Where will I be in
Five
Ten
Fifteen
Twenty
Years from now.

Other nights
At 3am
I wonder
If I'll gonna make it that far.
Or lose the chance
Making it that far.

"For Better or For Worse."

“For Better”

We’ve been married for a  couple years now, I can’t believe it!
I prefer to give love, she taught me how to receive it.
Life is good now, a woman can change how you perceive it,
a sacred bond, I vowed to never deceive it..
@braxton.poetry

“For Worse”
We’ve been married a few years now, our love seems forced.
I’ve been giving my love to someone else & I feel no remorse.
He stopped chasing me, which made me change my course,
Maybe if he invested that energy into me, we wouldn’t be talking about divorce.

*For Better is from a man's perspective at the beginning of marriage.
*For Worse is from a woman's perspective a few years into marriage

if only
we had a say
in what happens to us
Its a feeling of loss? But what did I  lose
A mere thought?
Because theres nothing wrong
but something should be?

Im missing something Knowledge? Understanding?
the 'why'
it all just feels wrong
the way i feel is wrong but not necessarily bad its just not me
im ashell of a person
my emotions are so limited and when if i shed tears it is...
why do I cry
i havent lost anything or anyone yet I feel hollow
or is it loneliness
in my thoughts, my feelings?
theres no passion





no pain

sleep, the way i cannot breathe
