38. trustIt is a matter of perception38. trust8 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
And is also a matter of interpretation
Trust, a funny thing it truly is
But how do we live our lives around it?
Do you trust me because you know me
Or is that the reason for your distrust?
You have parts of me
That no one else will ever have
But you seem to be unaware
Or is it just not enough?
I trusted you because you never gave me a reason not to
But now that you have, how do I piece it back together?
I am lost in my mind
As the realizations set in
What I had not seen at first
Is slowly setting in
Is it worse to have suspicion though nothing done
Or betray promises made to seek your own truth?
Picking up the PiecesPicking up the Pieces2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
I dreamt I loved u…
I dreamt
That my thoughts were consumed with you
That my heart skipped a beat when I saw you
Hell, it skipped a beat at the thought of you
Fuck, it skipped a beat at the mention of your name
I dreamt
That our fairy tale started
When you asked me out and I said yes
And you took me to this casually nice restaurant
You only paid attention to me
And didn't seem to notice any other girl in the room
And I smiled
I dreamt
That when we went away to school
We continued our fairy tale
You called practically everyday
When a call wasn't possible
I got an email with a song
To let me know you were thinking abou
HesitationI standHesitation9 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
And I sit
And I think
I sing
And I smile
And I wander in my mind
In front of the pc
And I see you online
And I hesitate to open the window
Will you be there?
Will you have time to talk?
Do you even wanna talk to me?
I look again
I click on your name
And I type… "hi"
this was our songthis was our song2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
This was our song…
I think they wrote it
Just for us
I hear it
And think of the times we had
I think of when you first showed me interest
It was weird because
We were friends for so long
Then I noticed your signals
And thought I must be seeing things
I think of when you first asked me out
We were sitting
Talking about school
Then you slipped in
"If I asked you out, what would you say?"
I think of the first time we kissed
You were being
Your regular "bug me for no reason" self,
Which I realized after
Were moments for you to see me smile,
While I stayed there arguing with you
You lifted my chin and kissed me ever
My FearsMy Fears2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
There is a fear…
That I will not live up to your expectations
That I will sabotage myself
That I will find a way to hurt you more than I can imagine
There is a fear…
That this is a fad I'm going thru
That I'll wake up one day
And my feelings will have changed
There is a fear…
That it won't work
Whether it be space and time
Or time and space
Impatience and frustrations will overcome
There is a fear…
That I'm jumping way beyond what I can see
That I have expectations
That aren't realistic
There is a fear…
That subconsciously
I'll look for the easy way out
I repeat, sabotage myself
There are many fe
32.What I do is for me32.9 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
For my better or worse
What I do has consequences
That I learn to deal with
What do you do
When your consequences
Tug at your opinion of self
Questions your credibility
Makes you doubt everything until this point
There is self evaluation
You see you may not be the angel you thought you were
Not the Godsend you thought you were
You may not be what is best
And then what do you do…
Do you allow growth without your presence?
Do you suck it up and push thru?
Do you do what you think is best, eventho your view may be clouded?
Lost with no direction
Making no decisions
But thinking heavily
This is now yoursThis is now yours2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
I give you my heart
And I never want it back
I give you permission
To unlock it
To open it up
To look around
And to leave your mark on the space you take up
I give you permission
To stay as long as you please
Tho, a day passed forever would be perfect
To leave anything you wish
Tho, your words of wisdom are already plastered everywhere
To take the key everywhere you go
Cause there is no longer a need for me to have it
I give you my heart
And I never want it back
I think you could make better use of it than I have
I think there is so much potential to what you can do with it
I think the possibilities are endless with it in
London BridgeLondon Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down,London Bridge2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
People dying, children crying.
Giving lives to the reaper.
Giving souls to the All Mighty.
Death will take everybody.
London Bridge is falling down,
Watch them bleed crimson honey.
The thick pools of blood around bodies.
All the crows cry into the night.
Watch them fall down, down, down.
My fair lady.
31. Bad DayFilled with emotion31. Bad Day9 months ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
High on that drive
Overwhelmed by the possibilities
And hiding in my fear
When you get that inspiration
I can do all things
I can do anything
I can do everything
That inspirational word
Speech, lecture, picture
Fills you with hope
'I can reach for the stars'
Then reality sets in
And your reality doesn't hold you back
Your fear of the future does
I know what I want
This is how I can get what I want
I'll write down the master plan
Then…oh wait.
I can't
I'm not good enough
I'm not motivated enough
I don't want it enough
HOW CAN I DO IT?
Fear sets in
Discouraging any positive thoughts

TherapyTherapy2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
My writing is my therapy.
My pen is my heart.
My paper is my soul.
My ink is my blood.
Blood pours from my heart
And driplets fall onto my soul.
Each letter I shape;
Each word I carve.
More and more feelings pushed forward.
More and more feelings pushed back.
This is my therapy.
But,
Why do I write?
Do I want others to read it
And praise me?
To see the real me?
I am so twisted
As to want to see their reactions
When they read into my heart?
Perhaps its a cry for help?
Does this writing really help me?
No.
Why do I do it?
I know I have a friend.
Someone to talk to when I most need it.
Sometimes it makes me feel worse,
UntitledIt sucks to miss somethingUntitled2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
That I never had
It sucks to get so high
To then crash and burn
It sucks to still want you
But this is life
This is what it's made of
This is what I want of life
To experience it, good or bad
And it's scary to think
You didn't have all of me
And it hurts this much
God help me with the man that gets my heart
God help me if that man breaks my heart
And God help that man if my conscience breaks with it
Cause then it's every bitch for themselves
-Let you go-You taunt me-Let you go-2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Tease me.
Play your games
And watch me squirm.
You know how I feel
It's why you play your game, right?
You make me hate you
And want you.
You make me love you
Yet you make me insane.
Make up your mind
Stop messing with mine.
Choose me
Or don't.
But don't play with my heart
You know what I want.
I try to forget you
But then you play your games.
And I'm head over heels
Waiting for you to make up your mind.
But you always say no
That we're just friends.
So tell me
Why do you make me want more than that?
Why can't you let me be?
Why can't I seem to let you go?
His PrincessHis Princess2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
I am his princess
He claims me as his own
And I welcome it
His aim is to serve me
To make me happy
To see me smile
To ensure that the sun is always shinning in my kingdom
He is my loyal subject,
Never do I have to worry
About him committing treason
Nor do I have to worry
Of him wandering too far away from the kingdom
My aim is to ensure his happiness
To ensure that he is satisfied
In the land of the princess
That my subject has a reason
To remain loyal to her highness
We were not originally
Part of the same kingdom
One day he wandered in
And we decided that he would stay
And there has been glee ever since
The ultima
DoubtsI'm afraid to like youDoubts2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
And possibly love you
I'm afraid to be your everything
I'm afraid to ask you
To love me unconditionally
I'm afraid
To love you unconditionally
I'm looking for something to go wrong
Cause right now
Everything is smooth sailing
And it's freaking me out
I've had too many obstacles
Always preventing me from what I want
And now that I've allowed myself
This little piece of happiness
I'm doubting it
I look to the future with hesitation
While I already have names and places and colours
That in itself causes uncertainty
How can I be this comfortable,
How can I be this at ease,
How can this truly work,

I Can'tI Can't2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
I…can't… look you in the eyes
I can't tell you
You look so different now
How do I tell you…
That when I look into your eyes
I see my future?
I see us
On our first date
Walking down the isle
Holding our first child
I can't… look you in the eyes
I can't tell you
That I'm noticing new things
I'm seeing the blue in your eyes
They're oh so deep
With a hint of grey
And they give me chills
I notice how big your smile is
And how you light up when you smile
And turn red really quick
And the cute little laugh that you have
I can't look up
I can't see you watching me
As you read this
And now knowing how I fee
..+Perfect+..You're smile is so warm...+Perfect+..2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
You're arms are so inviting.
You're hug is so firm.
When you're across the room, I catch myself staring.
At your looks? Maybe.
But, it's what's inside that I am seeing.
A warm heart.
A gentle spirit.
A love for life.
You are perfect.
As perfect as a human can get.
Few mistakes run through you.
To see the world through your eyes would be fantastic.
To feel the love you feel for every person would be extatic.
To be the person you are would be problematic.
After all, opposites attract.
You are perfect, I am not.
You are warm, I am cold.
For you I will change.
You won't know it's for you though.

Star of the MorningA hasty plunge off jagged cliff,Star of the Morning2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I sought the earth, how only- if!
I wished in vain to end my sorrows,
In death lay joyous, plenty morrows.
When in pale and stricken moment I,
Realized the wrong and sought to fly.
While tumbling my feathers molted, grew,
Till me, no longer falling flew!
No more a tumbler, my spirit flies,
On angel wings I carve the skies.
Beneath the sun and dawn's red gaze,
A free born childish spirit plays.
A horrid fall would have crushed my will,
But as all can see- I'm flying still.
The lesson for those drove apart,
Pure angels dwell in every heart.
LifeLife is a journey,Life2 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
so enjoy the ride.
Why waste time,
without taking pride?
There you stand,
all gloomy in despair.
Just relax,
and breathe the fresh air.
This world that you're living in,
has its ups and downs.
Stop being so depressed,
enough with your frowns.
Your life is beautiful,
and so are you.
Remember this,
when you're feeling blue.

But can you replace this hole in my chest,
where this doubt was born?
I Can Never Open ItIts just a doorI Can Never Open It2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
And this may be a simple key.
There's nothing special
About this place I go to.
There are doors like it
So wooden and bare
A simple lock
Whose key is in my grasp.
It would be easy
Poking the keyhole
And turning it slowly
To open this normal door.
There would be a soft creak
It would open up wide
A slight hesitation
And then the truth revealed.
But I can't do it.
This door will remain locked.
There is a chance I will see truth
I can never risk it
Because if I open that door
There is no coming back.
I will be whole.

Spirit WithinSpirit Within2 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
I am that spirit within you
That spirit that pushes you forward
That won't let you back down
That makes you embrace who you are
I am that spirit within you
I'm that voice that helps you visualize your dreams
That shows you the possibilities
If we just get thru this phase
I whisper to you what we have the potential to become
I whisper to you what we can be
I show you how we can be great
I'm that fire in your soul
That boldness on your lips
That spark in your eyes
That facial expression that says,
"Mess with me if u dare"
I'm that something in you
That lets people know
You are a force to be reckoned with
I show you the beau

Understand my tears
Understand her love is broke
Understand his acts of torment
Are nothing more than a cloak
Understand my words
Understand her pain
Understand his sense of right
Was by his torture slain
Understand that I'm not perfect
To the darkness she was hurled
He took his life for he was shamed

..Waiting..I wait and wait..Waiting..2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Day after day.
Waiting for you
Waiting for us.
Knowing it can't be
Can't be yet.
Each day goes faster
As I get closer to you.
I can see it in your eyes
You're waiting too.
Waiting for the right time
Keeping a safe distance.
But not afraid to show
How you truly feel.
People ask why
Why I even bother.
Waiting so long
For something temporary.
I tell them
That even if it's temporary
Every moment spent with you
Is worth a lifetime of waiting.
So I'll keep waiting
Until you are finally mine.
I'll watch each day pass
Knowing, It's just a step closer to you~
