cope

All I know is how to suppress 
these emotions deep below my skin's surface
suffocating the stress that I chose to displace
I hide my feelings from my reflection's face. 
I cannot admit the pain that I feel inside, 
losing something that was once so important to me-
now lost is nothing more than a memory.

The tears linger around the corners of my eyes
and the audible sound of my heart as it sighs
shakes the being of my core
and there is nothing left for me to endure.

Fast Track

Knowing you from yesterday felt like a good change of scenery

When I accelerated these emotions there was a risky game started

Racing pass old flames-

Past insecurities -

The lights were green

And checkered flags in sight

Little did I know

I would soon run out of gas

Love in the fast lane is dangerous

No time to stop

What is done is done

Break light, stop light

Road blocks, detour

It's all over and before you know it

We CRASH

time machine

the sting of the freeze still remains
confusion runs through my veins
haunted by harsh silences
reality of blatant avoidance

yet, still unsure of why?
were words uttered just a lie?
was I just something to cross off your list?
I wish I could take back that first kiss...

heart on my sleeve-
it's always pushing you to leave
everything fades far too fast-
and nothing seems to last
I wish I could go back in time,
keep us as us and you would be mine

Enough- love that is, enough

love is love...created and destroyed
open arms and sometimes closed minds
we all cry with tears of sorrow and sometimes joy
have the same feelings of pain
and hurt when we are rejected
react to the unexpected
good or bad, happy or sad
we feel, we grow, we bleed,
TOGETHER

enclosed heart beating
inside this cage of ribs..expand and contract...
understand we all all built the same.
DIS-crim-IN-ation...needs to
DIS-a-ppear.
Hatred and DISgust...
who are we to
JUDGE?

Replace those feelings of anguish
let happiness replenish,
take on the challenge and ask yourself
Have I done ENOUGH?

nature vs. nuture

like seeds of a dandelion blowing in the wind
a sigh is only the beginning of where i stand
blown away like leaves in the fall
too much, too soon
i can't even recall

vanishing in thin air
not a bread crumb left to follow
these are the times that
are the hardest to swallow

unanswered questions
confusion and blank stares
my mind wonders searching
for someone who cares

Crystal Ball

Predictable loathing intention

Undeniably irritating to be right

All the time...

sinking hunch, twisted fate,

Rising Assumptions all lead to

Ones biggest mistake

disappointment sets in yet again-

Let this heart of mine finally break

Leave it be- set me free and live a life

Without regret, failure and upset

rebuild your strength over power the pain

Resist temptations to give in again-
