As I Am
Your love, it spoke a different language—a dialect of depth and acceptance that I had never been versed in
With every word, every gesture, every moment you shared;
you dismantled the fortress I had built around my spirit, brick by bitter brick
You became my mirror reflecting not the fragmented visage I had come to expect, but a being worthy of love, of happiness, of a chance to be whole
And in that reflection: I found the truth that had eluded me, the simple, profound revelation that I was enough
Your love, unintentionally, became my salvation....

Deep
Deep down in my mind, in its darkest corner, there's an abandoned graveyard,
filled with lost desires, a dark land, raped, scarred. A thick fog of fear surrounds me, I'm looking at my tombstone, I'm drowning in misery, I need a lifeguard. I hear something creeping up like a crescendo, as I turn around the grim reaper staring in my eyes. Here we are once again he says and asks "Are you ready to go?" Deep within light is shining then I realize. My faith is trying to dig its way through the pain and abuse like a miner trying to find the light. God spoke to my heart and told me to...

It's Whatever
I have been trapped within this maze of depression. I'm going through a lot and I lost all sense of direction. For some time now darkness surrounds me like an eclipse. It's eating away at my soul leaving no tips. I wish I had died in the accident that changed my life. Ever since then, all I have been going through is strife. Happiness comes and goes like a deadbeat dad. Leaving me all alone which has me feeling sad. I haven't written a poem in a long time, I came to a writer's block. My mind was congested which had my consciousness locked. I wanna be free from the confusion and pain. Hoping...

Wake Up
I see you haven't left yet you must be obsessed with crying. Why do you let him keep hurting you, you know he's lying. In the beginning, things were so perfect everything was good. Termites of lies destroy the relationship deteriorating your wood. You are home alone wondering if he coming by or not. Don't be someone’s sometimes and don’t fight for a spot. If he's not giving you any attention you need to fail him. Branches of deceiving shadowing your heart get it trimmed. You deserve happiness nothing less stop feeling down. Stop entertaining his circus you need to leave that clown. Go look in...

Stare
Looking into your eyes sends chills down my spine my soul is frozen. Your smile keeps me high like marijuana, that's highly potent. Your skin complexion is like the world’s finest chocolate so rich. It feels like my heart hit a home run with the perfect pitch. Within the stadium of my mind, my feelings are going wild. The thought of you where it started arranged then logged and filed. Deep in the cabinet of my diencephalon, where you’ll always be. Like white on rice, you’re on my mind constantly. Your lips are like the gates of heaven that take my breath away. Floating like helium leaks into...

What If..
If I give you my heart would you take care of it? If I give you my soul would you be there for me? If I give you my mind would you take care of it? If I fell too deep in love, would you care for me? I need to know before I put in this work. Don't wanna be played feeling like a jerk. I love you with all my mind, body, and soul. Being with you makes me feel whole. If I give you my heart you better treat me right. If I give you my soul, help me see the light. If I give you my mind would you protect it? If I fall too deep in love, I promise I'll commit. I'll never break your heart, you don't need...

MayBe
He asks do you love me, she says maybe. Damn, he's too blind to see. All the physical and mental abuse. He's been acting up like Bishop in juice. Don't know how to treat his queen. He has a dirty mouth, bad hygiene. He kept pushing her away and away. Her mind, body, and soul start to decay. She deserves better and she knows it. She is so deeply in love she won't quit. Fighting for a man that treats her like trash. She's a victim of a bad crash. She collided with his cheating and lies. Didn't know he was a devil in disguise. In the end, he started to show his true colors. Until she found out...

Stuck
He's deep in depression stuck within a maze. Somewhere in the dark looking for better days. He put one foot forward and went three steps back. Life beat him so bad now he's got to pack. He passed out from reality from a brain freeze. The pain is killing him like an infectious disease. Multiplying so rapidly sadness became a plague. Because lately, his life seems so vague. He's falling while holding onto his faith so tight. Hoping one day happiness will pull him into the light. Behind his smile is a river of tears. With hopes, doubts, and fears. God will never give you more than you can...

A Homeless Heart
Her heart is starving for love.
Digging in his eyes for true love.
Realized it's completely empty.
Soul wandering down on misery.
She gave her all now she's a mess.
Never thought she'll be homeless.
Lately, her intuition seems kinda odd.
He took everything from her but God.
She's on the streets of confusion.
Wondering was it love or just an illusion?
Wounded crawling to find some shelter.
Until she found Faith things got better.
Life was falling apart but it fell into place.
All she needed was God his everlasting...
Digging in his eyes for true love.
Realized it's completely empty.
Soul wandering down on misery.

She's on the streets of confusion.
Wondering was it love or just an illusion?
Wounded crawling to find some shelter.
Until she found Faith things got better.
Life was falling apart but it fell into place.

Lost
I can't trust anybody like Mission Impossible. Demons chasing me, it's like a train that's unstoppable. This pain I feel brings so much sadness and anger. Deep in depression, I feel like putting one in the chamber. I feel like blowing my brains out so it can be quick. I'm tired of living, everything makes me sick. My happiness abandoned me and I'm alone. I want to be cremated so don't worry about a tombstone. I have lost everything that I have worked so hard for. I lost all my feelings and I'm numb to the core.

Victim
The past keeps slipping in like a draft under a door. Going in and out robbing her happiness to the core. At first, it usually pops up showing up unannounced. But lately, it has been staying a lot and hasn't bounced. It felt like yesterday when she was badly abused. Hospitalized by her ex she woke up confused. It left a deep emotional scar that seems like it'll never heal. Scare to sleep it haunts her dreams like Freddy feels so real. That was over 8 years ago and she still feels his presence. It follows her around the smell of death, sweet dark essence. Tears rolled down her eyes as she lay...

Stable Foundation
Relationships need to have a good strong foundation. So it bears the weight of destruction. Most have been dug into the earth for added stability. It needs to fix each other when things get broken repeatedly. A foundation does more than just hold a relationship above ground. It keeps out negative and insulates against the cold all year round. See the foundation is a combination of honesty and loyalty. They make a strong foundation with communication as the key. The framing is the communication between the both of you. If the communication isn’t there then there is no home to come to. Every...
