Write like no one is reading
So everyone's heard of dance like no one is watching, same thing but with writing. You'll have to really pretend because everyone will read it. That's the challenge, write so free, so true, like no one will ever see it. Poetry, prose, or confessions..whatever you feel is what you should do.

IndianWedding in Poetry & Free Verse

I wish I lived.

I fake too much. I mimic too much. I don’t know who I am.

I laugh too much. Like a dangerous bitch. *belly-cramp*

I cringe too much. I advise too much. I hate my fans.

“Only fools fall for me.” Only lovers lose and die young.

I have had a bitter taste. And I don’t make sense with my tongue.

Be it with being myself, or with philosophical discourses, as I prolong.

I am not a liar. I tell truths of events, but not of who I am.

The circumstances are real in my head, but not of where I belong.

This world, real, is not an idea, it’s what is mine, where I am.

I love the ghost-haunts, the self-taunts. Uh. Damn.

I don’t know what I truly love, what purpose I serve. Just sham.

I wish at stars, talk to them, and put Star Walk 2 to blame.

I wish I touched his face when I could, glad that he came.

I wish I loved like he does, so I’d hurt the same.

But I hurt behind time, I polish my ego, and I play games.

With the thoughts of his going, and that of the fuel, the whim.

I wish people wrote of love, wrote of science, and I wrote his name.

I wish people regretted less, I wish I lived, when I lived with him.

I swear so loud neighbours hear, I shouldn’t. How lame!

I wish I never did, I wish I lived much more and I know I do.

Because I’m twenty-two.

And a fake poet.

In stars.

Liar.

Not born any better.
