Titanic

You’re the full on collision ,I faced everyday
you’re the glacier that sunk me
I had to swim my way back to happiness
The shivering and loneliness that entered my system made me realize i didn’t need you
My mind was my life vest
My family was the last life boat available
Happiness didn’t come until after the fallout
The struggling I did for three years , you didn’t care , you sunk me everyday, you shot me down, you stabbed me with what i thought was love, little did I know you got what you wanted
You have something I wish I never gave you
I want to thank you, not for wasting my time but for making me stronger
I had survived the titanic just hope you can do the same, because like all the tears that had fallen because of you, we aren’t falling for you again.

Fae Lifetime

He rests his hand mid thigh
And the tree beings to quiver
The wind grows colder
The tree begins to sigh as it gets older
Give way
To rot and decay
Collapse under hand
Where barley a breath has passed
For him
Long live the fae
For what
Does eternity know of an hour?
In one breath span
Dead and back again
Still he sits
In a forest younger than him
Dead and back again
Each human lifetime a wink
They’ve forgotten
Like amnesia
All the important things
But then
What does eternity know of an hour?
Dead and back again
With barley a glimpse of what the fae know
With barley a glimpse of what the stories tell
Dead and back again
A life for show
To dead men

Why?

Why ?
They feel like they have a penis, they’re above the opposite sex, but that’s not the case
They say boys will be boys, but when will boys be men?
When we were little girls,they said
“If he’s mean to you, it’s because he likes you”,
but we grew up to find out , they didn’t like us, they abused us.
When we got to middle school, we filled out our curves, but boys only saw a piece of ass.
They played with our hearts, and we soon realized our happily ever after doesn’t exist.
High school came around and we noticed boys weren’t young men,
they were dogs drooling with their tongues hanging out.
Women are taking the world, by the storm.
All you can hear is crickets chirping.
Eve wasn’t happy with adam, so eve found herself a mary.

Blocked

I have writers block
like
you’re driving and get stopped by a train
like
you want to finish a marathon but you can’t breathe
like
I’ve redone this test five times
like
I’m giving up
like
I still have 300 words to go
like
I’m giving up
like
if I listen to music maybe
like
what did I just write
like
damn I give up

Trees

Will you spare my life
And appreciate my beauty?
Some love me for the way I look
Others don’t even know i’m there.

They love to hang around me during the holidays,
And parties are always my time to shine
But only during the pinata.

They use me like i’m paper
when I could give so much life
If only they could see what I do for them.

They flatten my heart after I give them all my oxygen
I guess I’m not as beautiful as I thought I was,
If only I could speak.

Appreciate me before i’m all gone
You’ll die without me
If only I could warn them
If only I could speak.

If I told you,
would you listen?
If my roots didn’t hold me back
Would you see me?

Stop my death
In return I’ll give you life
I may be a tree
But I still have a heart.

I Believe

I believe..
I believe in freedom. The moment you have peace and love.
I believe you are the strongest person alive if you didn’t discriminate yourself.
I believe family is before and above anything.
I believe no one can tell you , you can’t or can achieve what you want.
I believe you can be what you believe to in.
I believe love is a neccesity not a want a must than a stupidity.
I believe in one self.
I believe in everyone.
I believe..
