Downfalls
The gray clouds in my life haven’t gave me a glimpse of a rainbow.
Back and forth
Shakes
Trembles
Cravings
Just ignore the thoughts of hate
Color
I want to see beautiful hues amid the blue skies
I close my eyes and all I feel is pain from my downfall
Dope sick when I am all out
Anxious for more
Walking away from everyone
The epidemic of numbing my pain
Society
It’s more hateful now than ever before
Sacrifice
Downfall
Back and forth
Shakes
Trembles
Cravings
Just ignore the thoughts of hate

Dope sick when I am all out
Anxious for more
Walking away from everyone
The epidemic of numbing my pain

It’s more hateful now than ever before
Sacrifice

Can’t get away with it
I’m trapped in this prison of solitude trying to break out.
As a daughter of the King, I keep murder on my brain
Condemned
Society says tragedy is expected
Abuse seems ok because of this
Pushing, scratching, punching
I don’t know what I have done to deserve this kind of treatment
I wish every day that I could just get away with conspiracy to murder
They hurt me
Like paper cuts, I’m exposing my wounds
Love lost so nothing to lose but my freedom
Visiting prison websites to make sense of the fact that I can’t get away with...

Up and Down
The children sit on the seesaw in the park.
Each on one side
Hot, humid day
Up
Down
Angry
Sad
Smiling
That’s the way this feels being with you right now
Up
Down
As your anger gets the best of you
It weighs me down
This seesaw is stuck midway
Each on one side
Hot, humid day
Up
Down
Angry
Sad
Smiling
That’s the way this feels being with you right now
Up
Down
As your anger gets the best of you
It weighs me down
This seesaw is stuck midway

The Silver Lining In The Cloud
In the beginning I only found people who created the silver lining in my clouds. I walked away from my dreams because of the hopeless feeling that created dark clouds in my life. Success was blocked and I didn’t see any good resulting from my failures. This bittersweet feeling from others creating obstacles for me caused me to quit. Failure took my self-confidence away and, almost defined me. Instead, I realized I was brave for trying new things.”

Empathy For Toxic People
Toxic people can’t offer me comfort.
Their toxic energy only allows them to care for themselves.
They are only out for themselves and the true motives of their actions always come to light.
Emotional pain is an enabler for them to cause you more harm.
It’s hard to set boundaries because your empathy comes in the form of a friend, family member, or significant other that you know is not right for you in a healthy way.
Yet, it’s hard for you to comprehend and accept what you see in these toxic individuals
The control and manipulation goes over your...

Agape Love
Though the storm is over I still feel disconnected from love’s patience.
I find myself thinking about the deeper meaning of genuinely spending the rest of my life with someone.
Becoming someone’s wife never ever crossed my mind
I was always running around avoiding the pains of caring for someone the same way they would me.
Hopes
Dreams
Cold sweats because they aren’t next to me
Now I spend my time wishing time could stop because my intimacy with you is more than just a date.
Your friendship is a beautiful distraction from the downs I have...
