I close my eyes and all I see is the darkness that appeared around me
I open them and it’s still dark
How can I find my way out?
How can I break free from the chains instilled on me?
I hear a howl
I see nothing
I hear a scream
I see red
All this darkness around me is now filled with brown dirt
No one came to save me
Forever alone in this world
Sadly
I’m tired of the thank yous for being there
But not getting any love in return
I’m tired of the sorrys
But coming around to do the same thing again
I refuse to let you take my stuff
I already given it up before
This time I know my worth
And it’s not going any where else
I’m tired of the no shows
The maybes and the oh nos
I just want someone down
But they can save all the extra stuff
Weak
In terms of strength
Physical, mentally and emotionally
But stay standing tall
Disappointment
Not living up to the expectations from the generations before them
But still pushing forward
Strengthening your mind
Strengthening your heart
Keep going
Don’t give up

Heated
Scorching hot like eggs frying on the ground
Soft as fluffy cotton balls leaving behind traces of itself everywhere
That’s how affectionate you were
Like a tornado on a war path
Taking off quickly but always leaving behind a sign that you were there
Hard to keep a track of
Never slowing down long enough for something solid
Chasing a dream with you but I was never fast enough to keep up
Not sure if you knew exactly what you wanted
You just knew no one and nothing was going to hold you back
Burdens of waking up to the same face everyday
Was something you loved to say
But I find it beautiful to grow with someone and see the changes
Time to get a rope
Learn to lasso it right
That’s the only way to keep up
Is to capture the love with all my might

Scent of sweet honey
It reminds me of
Eye catching signs and being
Dressed to the nines
Noticeable on teeth
Don’t want to see it on your feet
Signs of going slow
The feeling of being high and not low
Easy going
Carefree
Humble and all around fun
Butter and egg yolks
And being good to your folks
That’s what yellow means to me

You are panicking
sweat drops
You were relaxing and suddenly all the hair on your arms are at full attention
You hear every little movement made around you
You look around trying to remember where that vital device is
Your ears start burning or maybe it’s ringing
Your chest get a little tight while your tummy is in knots
Why can’t you find it?
Did it fall under the bed, get lost in the never ending bottom on the side of the couch cushions or maybe borrowed?
Your heart finally slows as you smile while placing your hand around your…..
phone charger
But yet if someone were to ask you for aid
Will you give that much energy to a love one that you do to electronic distractions?
Will you immediately jump up, heart racing and eager to accomplish
Or is that too far below your standards to even cause a prompting
Think about it next time you have a

The pain in this world
Where in order to co-exist we must sit behind screens to communicate
To express
Love, hate and pain
Where we can no longer reach out for a hug without questioning where the other person been
A world where you must cover up your expressions with a mask
But the joke is on them
I been wearing a mask years before this era
A mask that I wore for so long I forgot who I am as a person
A mask that hides my inner thoughts, my demons
Oh I am so putting on a show with feelings
This society is turning chaotic
Can’t trust anyone who can’t trust themselves
So I guess that means you can’t trust me
But why would I care
I’m still stuck wearing this mask under a mask
Now tell me how does that make you feel
