Beneath the Undertow
Everything's spinning
My evil is winning
I'm ready to just blend in
Im keeping my head up above the
Surface
While seaweed is pulling me in
Sometimes I think about drowning
Seaweed is pulling me
Down
Giving into my surroundings
How easy it'd be to just
Drown
They’ll coo “you’re strong”
And mock “you’re durable”
It can't be wrong
That I'm not unbreakable
It won't be long before I struggle
Free
From this sickly hold
This ocean has on me
To Be Truly Alone
Ever person around you affects you
You learn to not expect to make friends
You know when someone will leave you
You can physically feel the distance
You know that eventually they’ll choose someone else
You know that eventually they’ll be gone
That they’ll get tired of you
That they’ll see their mistake in loving you
That they’ll see why love is poison
That they’ll see why people don’t stay
But that’s simply in the past...
Present..
Future.
I see it coming miles before it does
But they say they’re different
They aren’t
They’ll leave too
Just watch and wait
..there they go another person that grew tired of me.
The Day You Decided to Die
One day I will find my heart again.
The lonely road you never should have took
I wish you would have let me pull you back
Your stupid contagious grin
Our time beside the babbling brook
I take it all back
You can't hurt me anymore
You should have let me help you
I knew better than to trust your smile
The fangs that glimmerd with gore
Why did you hurt me too
I can feel it rise and burn, the churning bile
It rises when I think you just couldn't fight anymore
Your gnashing fangs caught on me
They rippid a pieces away
You didn't even fight you couldn't even try
You thought we would be free
But I am not whole since, that day
I try to laugh and cry
But you took that with you
When you decided to die
You took my hope laughter and love
You took my heart when you decided to die
You never even knew that you were my heart when you decided to die.
You thought you were making things better
I know you thought you were broken
You thought you couldn't be fixed
You didn't even leave a letter
You didn't leave anything but that cigerette still smoken'
My feelings are so mixed
I love you no matter where you go or what you do
But you took that peice of me with you
The day you decided to die
50 Ways to Say Goodbye
My heart is broken
My head has spoken
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
He left like a coward
Our time together soured
He couldn't even message for an hour
Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!
He never even answered
My calls and texts now plastered
In every chat, with some slander
I'm all out of ways to understand
How you leave me like that
My pride still feels the sting
You were my everything
Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)
He'll think I'm super sweet
Not a poisoned treat
And will not call me a liar then ignore
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
Listened and lied
That no longer flied
But still you couldn't deny
Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!
I was there even when you lacked
Anything but to attack
Waited paiently for you to circle back
I'm all out of ways to understand
How you leave me like that
I wanna forget everything you put me through
I wanna start over anew...
But you don't want to
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
He left like a coward
Our time together soured
He couldn't even message for an hour
Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!
He never even answered
My calls and texts now plastered
In every chat, with some slander
I'm all out of ways to understand
How you leave me like that
Listened and lied
That no longer flied
But still you couldn't deny
Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!
I was there even when you lacked
Anything but to attack
Waited paiently for you to circle back
I'm all out of ways to understand
How you leave me like that

50 ways to say goodbye by train
Mind Tricks or Prophecy
I feel the slow crushing of familiarity
My feelings chipping away
Still I hold onto hope
Hope that I make it
That we make it
But I can feel the distance lengthen
As the silence grows longer
If my bad thoughts are right
Then I can say I’m a prophet
If they’re wrong like I hope they are
Then it’s just the bad taking over my mind
God I hope I’m wrong
The Blessed
A truly great writer is a writer that not only is writing for their own soul to be given away. They also do it for their life to be fulled and to bring more light. A true writer is anyone who can bring feeling and emotion from words, create a world where the limit is the laungue you write in. The style and technicalities are up to the artist. Just as it is up to a physical artist choses their medium. Art can have precieved flaws but it doesn't decrease its value.
A Day in a Mangrove’s Life
The wind blows and I can sense the waters.
It's salty unlike the others.
"Splash... Splash..." as my roots were washed,
thinking if I am meant to last.
To climate change, they say I'm a weapon
but I'm also on the brink of extinction.
Yes, sometimes the world is unfair
but I'm a home to those that needed care.
A shelter for animals and sea creatures
while bonding with the Mother nature.
With this I've created a family
and a view that gives sanity.
I keep communities safe from the dangers of the storm
while holding tight even if it breaks my form.
Why do I need to survive the waves?
Do I really need to be brave?
The nature of mine to survive the tides
while leaning and clinging on the sides.
