Looking towards my future I feel so unsure Living is so costly I can't live comfortably. I can't afford to buy a home The mortgage keeps me up till dawn Groceries vanish from my cart Times are getting really hard. It's so hard to make ends meet Am I the only want feeling the heat Is anyone else hurting this much Or am I completely out of...

I’m not trying to compete If I do, then only with myself I dont want to be famous Just doin’ what I love I’m not showing off Just expressing myself

What do you do? With the thoughts, The feelings How do you begin to understand how to help? Someone you love, dissolving in their own sorrow Because the unthinkable has become real How do you keep them afloat, keep the world from crushing them? How did Atlas do it? Their pain is mine, their hurt my own I adopted it when I chose to love them But...

Who really knows what's in my mind? The answer to my question, you'll never find Until I open up and let you see How I truly feel inside of me. It’s not always easy, I admit, To show the world my true deeds But if I do, you'll understand— I am real, I am who I am. No more hiding, no more disguise, Just honesty shining through my eyes. And...

Let the Spanish Inquisition fall upon your hips, and your feet move like gunshots in the night. Let your breath escape as laughter while your whirlwind waist twists and twirls. You're so fucking free, and it shows in the way that you don't ever miss a step. I've heard music, but this was the first time I saw what her face looked like.

Maybe it’s because I know how she tastes, maybe it’s because my paradise owns most of this passionate spirit I don’t know, but I do I’ll never be able to keep my eyes off of you or my imagination away from the inside of you. Four days I get ready in my mind and rehearse with my tongue. Never has not getting what I desire the most ever felt so...

My poor words do not compare To the love you two did share, It must have been the strongest Of all commitments, Because you just wrote The greatest love song ever written

This is a short poem I wrote. Tell me what you think????? It's a rough draft!!!! Truth be told, I really don’t want to know It hurts too much to see, The indignation of humanity Is it right to condemn? Or are we worse than them? We treat people in a hateful tone You know God can see us from His throne There is no way to hide our wicked...

Shackles cast of steel Held by ball and chain Heaving with my shame A pretense of a shield Stench of failure, unclean Decay chanting its creed Encased, the coffin is sealed I claw and try to scream To demons I forcibly kneel Fraying and tearing at seams Body bitter and maimed “Spare yourself and yield” “No!” Shouts a soul...

He stood alone in the night Running away from a lover's spat Trying to figure out what to do next Shall he return or should he just leave? His mind kept urging him to take the easy way out. Convincing him that leaving is the best for him right now He is getting the courage to finally run from this relationship He folds his sleeves up, as if to...

You walk in desperation Wandering throughout life You have no sense of direction And you seem completely blind You appear troubled and disoriented There's questions in your weary mind Where this will end you have no plan in sight It seems the harder you try to find a resolution You fall deeper in this obscure crevice leading to nowhere. There's...

Two-Faced is a Norm Similar to any other sporting match prepared for the daily trials ahead you adopt your starting position to greet the world brave faced with your pleasant glued on smile hiding your silent inner scream The loud unheard bawl subdued until you're away from public gaze when as you doff your second face your guard may be finally...
