Failure is a heavy word to be had.Carried by the weak called sad.Jack of all trades but master of none.A tally of all the things left undone.Bears the scar of failure on one’s face.Struggling to keep up with the world’s race.Disappointment lends to further fatigue.Along with its position in the league.To strive to have itContinue reading “FAILURE”

WEARY TIRED SOMETHING
Weary Tired Something, didn’t feel the sun on its skin.Weary Tired Something was numb and didn’t care to win.It was nothing and something all wrapped into one.Feeling agony crouching out at its door,But not flinching at the horror.Its body burned and trembled within,But wouldn’t dare to show it on its skin.It cried without feeling orContinue reading “WEARY TIRED SOMETHING”
CINDERELLA MOMENT
Every girl needs her own prince charming.A man who makes her heart start churning.After cleaning floors and never being enough,His presence helps her endure all that stuff.He makes her feel like the prettiest girl in town,As she dances and spins in her newest gown.His eyes are only for her.Separation is complete torture.They dance and talkContinue reading “CINDERELLA MOMENT”
NOT A PRINCESS
I never wanted to be a princess like you said.I never wanted to wear a crown on my head.Royalty has so much responsibility,That comes with so much hostility.When you saw me dance around the room.I was not imagining myself in a ballroom.But In a forest or a field.A small little cottage is what appealed. Feeding chickensContinue reading “NOT A PRINCESS”
PETALS FALLING
It is like the flower petals falling.A wave of emotions calling.A bittersweet lullaby when you first see it.When your youth see’s the sorrow in their eyes.When the strength of a smile tries.Nose and eyes are colored pink with different shades.Until overcome by joy and bitterness fades.Strong and fragile all rolled into one.Vibrant and soft likeContinue reading “PETALS FALLING”
LEARNING FAIRYTALES ARE REAL.
Nothing is more magical than when a princess learns fairytales are real.They become excited to wear dresses and a bow on their heels.They feel relieved to drop the sword,And turn their attention towards someone they adored.Watch them dance in the ballroom with a glimmer in their eyes.Her elegance looks like she can take to theContinue reading “LEARNING FAIRYTALES ARE REAL.”
S.O.S AND RINTONES.
So this is what it feels like to be alone.To call for help but never hear the ringtone.For the person who used to mourn when you mourned.Tells you that they are happy while you feel torn.When they rather their own plan,Then to watch you be able to stand.To feel stranded in the crashing sea,Wondering ifContinue reading “S.O.S AND RINTONES.”
DO I TRUST THE WOODS?
Who do I trust in the woods?Fear has planted my feet where they stood.Once upon a time you were friends with the trees.But now you are unsure of what to believe.You hear their whispers in the shadows.Their words choke you like the gallows.They watch your every step.Looking for that one misstep.Under their watchful eyes youContinue reading “DO I TRUST THE WOODS?”
PRECIPICE
Standing on a precipice.Wishing to find my own exodus.When burdened beyond care.When a decision has you scared.Late nights for the restless soul.When fear has you losing control.It is a frightful thing to feel.When afraid to seal the deal.Not knowing whether you should stay or go,Because the unknown has a lot to hold.We want to doContinue reading “PRECIPICE”
GROW UP OR IT WILL MELT
I was trapped watching grown adults watch ice melt.While sharing how not getting their starbucks felt.Hearing them say they are only 26 when their not far away,From wondering where all their precious time began to fade.When did adults gain the right to act like kids?While complacency has them stuck in their cribs.Did their bodies neverContinue reading “GROW UP OR IT WILL MELT”
