Moving On
You said you will always be there.
Hmph...that was all just a lie.
Because as soon as I needed you, you ran away to hide.
Leaving me to trudge through this chaotic world on my own.
Scared and alone.
Like a children, looking for his way back home.
But now you stand in front of me.
Asking to forgive you for your past mistakes.
Saying we can be like we use to, we can be great.
Trying to pull at my strings like you use to, but this time I won’t break.
See, until now I thought I needed you.
Thinking without you, my life would be a...

Never Let Them
Never let them see you sad, is what I tell myself.
Never let them see you cry, I what I hold true.
But what happens when those feelings, start to boil inside of you.
And you don't have a clue on what to do, once they start rising up to the top.
Should I just let that bubble pop and have everyone feel the wrath
of my decades of pain and regret from the things I did in my past.
Or just stuff it back down and smother it, to let it continue to eat at my existence.
Like if I were to let it go away I would have missed it.
Never let them...
Never let them see you cry, I what I hold true.

Deja vu
I’m stuck in a perpetuating time zone full of my doubts.
Having this feeling as if, once I get one foot out,
I’m rushed back to the start,
To continue climbing my way back to the top.
I’m stuck in a perpetuating time zone full of my doubts.
Scratching and claw at an exit with no way out.
Trying to keep back screams and tears from following me.
Just to found out i’m back in the place I don’t want to be.
I’m stuck in a perpetuating time zone full of my doubts.
Hoping this will be the day I finally breakout. ...

Social Media Puppets
I'm just trying to play my part to fit into society.
Fooling myself thinking that by getting likes,
pokes, and followings, that they are inspiring to be me.
All the while they are conspiring against me.
Plotting to see the real me for all my flaws and insecurities.
Hoping that this breakaway mask that's covered in smiles and laughs,
would fall apart so they can finally have something to point at and laugh.
Wishing that I'll show my weaknesses,
So they can use hate as their greatest strength,
And prove that all I done was...

Tear
She sheds a tear for all the pain she went through.
She sheds a tear for all the lies she was once told.
She sheds a tear for the things she wish to redo.
She sheds a tear as her body went cold.
She sheds a tear for all the lies she was once told.
She sheds a tear for the things she wish to redo.
She sheds a tear as her body went cold.

A Letter From Me To You
With my heart crushed from the realization that the one I longed for and the one that has my heart is someone I can't have nor can never be with, leaves me in remorse for all the time spent together. As if I am waking from a dream to find out the life we shared, the stories we told and the dreams we planned for one another, were just figments of my imagination and that time and distance was my reality, that kept a love that felt so strong and so right from progressing towards a happy ending, instead of this sad beginning of life without you to brighten my day with your soothing voice filling...

Memories
Passing memories, flowing through time.
Unravel your secrets, that left me so blind.
Reveal your truths and open my eyes.
To the lies I called memories, that have passed with time.
Unravel your secrets, that left me so blind.
Reveal your truths and open my eyes.

The Invasion
I haven't posted anything in a while, so I decided to share a story I was working on a few years back. It's not complete and it's probably full of errors and plot holes, but whatever. The concept of the story is that it's being told from three different point of views, that will converge into a whole at the around the ending of it. Please be aware, I'm not a writer, I just like to write, so criticism is ok, but don't go overboard. Hope you like and enjoy for the most part.

Thoughts
Life is a series of mistakes, that builds into something more beautiful, but it's up to you to determine whether it's the life you want when a moment comes along or add it onto the pile of your mistakes and keep searching for some more meaningful.

Bittersweet
Plagued by bittersweet words, that formed a trust, then budded into romances; yet, longed for more, filled our minds with regret towards us.
Believing those bittersweet words that rung in our hearts, made us forget about us and how this love came to start.
Wishing for the touch of your hands across my flesh, your gentle lips pressed against mine. We continued to believe those bittersweet words, would stand the test of time.
Pulling at the strings that sewn together our fates, those bittersweet words begin to twist and break.
Now broken and torn...

My Thoughts
I sit and wonder if this life is meant for me. To go through the turmoil and suffer in silence about the things that happen around me. Just to share a false moment of joy and hope that this smile hides this crippling fear of not measuring up to this life that's placed upon me.

Deep Sea
Falling into a deep sea of depression.
Raising my head up just enough to get a breath of relief, before getting weighed back down from the pressure of living a mundane life.
Having times where thoughts of just endings would seem fair, then struggling to float back to the top for that quick second of fresh air.
But, I fight for that air, because it not fair to those that care to end it now because I'm scared. Scared that this depression will spread and consume my very being and not let me float back to the beginning.
