Illusions
The difference between you and me is quite simple.
It's just that what you call a lie,
I call it being in an illusion.
Sometimes you tend to keep people
Under an illusion just to make them happy
By telling them the things that they wish to hear.
But I guess, keeping the ones you love
or perhaps anyone for that matter in an illusion,
Can be the best and the worst thing you can
ever do to them.
And again, It's ironic for me to say
I hate illusions when I love the one where
I force myself to be in, close to you.
It's just that what you call a lie,
I call it being in an illusion.
Sometimes you tend to keep people
Under an illusion just to make them happy
By telling them the things that they wish to hear.
But I guess, keeping the ones you love
or perhaps anyone for that matter in an illusion,
Can be the best and the worst thing you can
ever do to them.
And again, It's ironic for me to say
I hate illusions when I love the one where
I force myself to be in, close to you.

This can’t be
What’s wrong with Me?
Did i let this happen to me?
Am i so insecure with myself that I’m stuck?
Can this process be undone?
Questions running though my head
Feeling as i am defeated
Happening ever so slowly
Never realizing the bigger picture.
Wondering if i could have stopped it
Each one did their damage To me
Leaving me worse then before
Always wondering if i can heal
Never fully able to before the next
Is this my new home?
Never going Back
Did i let this happen to me?
Am i so insecure with myself that I’m stuck?
Can this process be undone?
Questions running though my head
Feeling as i am defeated
Happening ever so slowly
Never realizing the bigger picture.
Wondering if i could have stopped it
Each one did their damage To me
Leaving me worse then before
Always wondering if i can heal
Never fully able to before the next
Is this my new home?
Never going Back

Dancing With Worms
It's the season, falling from the tree
a broken twig of cold moon's bone
with the stillborn of an acorn
playing footsie to a wayfaring cricket
with a twilight karaoke bowing queue
blowing the cap off the acorn
waiting to blend in with the mulch
filling in the girth of a fat old beast
dancing with the worms of mendacity
a broken twig of cold moon's bone
with the stillborn of an acorn
playing footsie to a wayfaring cricket
with a twilight karaoke bowing queue
blowing the cap off the acorn
waiting to blend in with the mulch
filling in the girth of a fat old beast
dancing with the worms of mendacity

A lesson learned
I'm out of things to write
I'm out of things to say
What makes this not all right?
What makes it all okay?
Do I need to stop this ride?
Do I need to take a break?
I cant get through the night
it has to end today
You cant take all my thoughts and throw them all away,
leave me here to die and think that it's okay
you cant leave me out and shut me down each day
a lesson I've learned is that you will never change
(Chorus)
You cant suffocate me
by telling me maybe
you're marked by jealousy

88%
88 percent of women,would agree that they do a lot of people pleasing. Much more than men.
Honestly,that behaviour is so crazy.
At a point,women still think that they are free.
Women,conform too their environment;
How they look.
How they smell.
How they should feel.
88 percent of women,are still grieving
about the hatred of them,by men,throughout history.

Diary 1 - Eden
Of all the flowers in the garden
The perfection, shy a petal
A taste like undiscovered heaven
And chromed gun metal
I found the snakes
you said would never bite
I burned the saints
you said would protect me
So you think you're like me
Have you swallowed the last you have
Just to build the courage to strike the match?
Have you cut through the stitches
Just to have it bleed, not because it itches?
So you think you know me
Do you know how long it takes
Before one...
The perfection, shy a petal
A taste like undiscovered heaven
And chromed gun metal
I found the snakes
you said would never bite
I burned the saints
you said would protect me
So you think you're like me
Have you swallowed the last you have
Just to build the courage to strike the match?
Have you cut through the stitches
Just to have it bleed, not because it itches?
So you think you know me
Do you know how long it takes

Living a lie
Keep telling yourself,
"This time will be different,
because its honest"
But how can it be,
When you're lying to yourself?
Old, faithful, denial.
Consider this, friend.
You're worth being honest with,
But truth starts at home.
"This time will be different,

But how can it be,
When you're lying to yourself?
Old, faithful, denial.
Consider this, friend.
You're worth being honest with,

Register
It finally did register
Register at the last line,
Lines of love brought down
Down to the level of hoax.
Hoax on a real heart
Heart full of yearning
Yearning for honestly
Honesty of thought and emotion.
Emotion is the carrier
Carrier of divine mind,
Minds the way you’re treated
Treated to abysmal mulct.
Mulct of all real returns
Returns of the day failed,
Failed and fell short
Short of a new death.
Death to love, life and peace
Peace found only below ground
Ground down into the...

You've Got Mail
A wilted shade of haunting discourse
daunting shadow-abiding quartz warts
Siding with a crooked voice
and the emotes of morts
Sounding a shadow of disillusion
a victim of a twilight conclusion
of the self-assuming force
Screaming, "You've Got Mail."

My dreams feel for me
I’ve nothing but emptiness
You were a dream without sleep
Now you’re a waking nightmare
Mentally fragile,
Didn’t bother me at all
You died out of guilt
And rose above mushroom graves
You’ve become a stranger
My ears cursed with drunken babbling
Lie to me, lie to yourself
You knew I could never be yours
Give me back my time
Turn your clock back to two months
Make the right choice
And leave me alone
I’ve nothing but emptiness
You were a dream without sleep
Now you’re a waking nightmare
Mentally fragile,
Didn’t bother me at all
You died out of guilt
And rose above mushroom graves
You’ve become a stranger
My ears cursed with drunken babbling
Lie to me, lie to yourself
You knew I could never be yours
Give me back my time
Turn your clock back to two months
Make the right choice
And leave me alone

Betrayal (being lied to)
betrayal
is finding
that the trust
and love given
was just
plastic packaging
once opened
simply
dicarded

Non-Love
in confession
after contritely stating flaws
penance is given
and then forgiveness
at times truth
wasn't volunteered
due to
consequences of previous honesty
no penance no forgiveness
only unrelenting anger
not sharing truth
defense mechanism not a lie
you didn’t ask
i didn’t share
when you asked
and i was honest
you
didn’t like the answer
no attempt to understand
shamed vilified
when i shared my truths
i was judged condemned ...
