Social Media Image.

To eat or not to eat, that is the query

To fit into the model image

The struggles of losing a huge amount of weight in a short period of time

The pressure from the media, from your peers

To have someone say you are pretty for a fat girl

To be tired of reaching down and on the edge of ripping your soul from your seams

To not care about the side effects as long as you can comfortably wear the latest trends

Being confident while feeling sick

To be on the highway of a fast dream but not being able to survive once you reach the exit

My dear to eat or not to eat, that is the query

Winter Haiku

Bitter cold, snow falls

Snuggle up with warm blanket

Snowflake transparent

The Darkness in the Light

A tiny percent of gloom lingering

Deep within hidden away in fright

No one can see the darkness

you must always smile and look bright

But what if that darkness is your true self

Slowly disappearing without a chance to fight

For is it ok to not think of rainbows and unicorns all the time

Having all the positivity in the world

But does it count if negatively no longer exists there’s no way to know the difference

The darkness brings you closer to your lost ones

The darkness shows you things hard to see in the light

Instead of losing it all I rather appreciate all sides of life

Take the time to consider your darkness in your light

Tornado

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

Tick Tock

Counting without a purpose

Sounds a bit crazy

Feeling a bit worthless is just a phase see

Others quick to judge

But no one takes the time to

Dig deep but without doing too much

Drip drip

Running down a warm arm

Marks and bruises left for evidence

But no one cares enough to see it as relevant

Cry for attention?

More like a cry for redemption

Why did God make me like this?

Why am I never happy with this?

Splatter splatter what a mess

I am counting without a purpose

Faded to black

The pain the screams

Your hand leaving mine

All the months gone with

A simple line

Faded to black

Promises made broken

Yelling and screams but still so many words left unspoken

Faded to black

Your mom still calls mine

Not too sure yet if that’s fine

Daily conversations between us

Went to blank stares and deleting

How fast we can all just be

Faded to black

Oh Lord.

These feelings oh Lord

Bad girl I don’t know what to feel anymore

Someone save me

These walls

These eyes

They are closing in on me
I’m just a sucka for love

One who is always lost

Waiting to be found

Will you find me ?
Don’t make any promises

When the sun shines you always there to cover it…

Why sparkle me with doubt?

Why keep me in a bubble?

Will you find me?

These feelings oh Lord.

Defeat

Defeat

Body so drained

Loss of knowledge is spreading

I’m feeling very sprained

Like this generation is treading

On a thick rope because if too thin the Karen’s and kens will complain about their backs

Everything is now given no point in being number one anymore you get that participation in and your on track

A joke

This crazy world is becoming

But is the world crazy on its own

Or is it the ones who occupy a space in it

Defeat turned 180 is victory

Defeat is something the haters try to put a face on it

So stand up and not let it be you

This might start feeling a bit contradictory

But the point I’m making is

Nobody should like DEFEAT

Tired

Tired

Over worked

Underpaid

Struggling to do three jobs in one

More like five

Maybe six

Listen

Listen to me

If I’m not here who would run this place

You will notice the small things the small things I do to make this place great

Appreciate the things you take for granted

Those tears and hard work is to make a greater future

But who will be there to wipe the tears away while you doing so

Who can I reach out to talk to for advice if your not here here

But you there there making my future

Is there a point where you want the person to work hard for a good life but want them there to live it with you in the present

I do Lord

I do

When I fall down who can bandage me up

Not the parent who is always at work or in bed

But I need to be grateful so I will fall back

I appreciate you but your not the only one

Tired
