    Worth

    I know I'm not perfect,

    I may not be worth it.

    I know I can love you one minute,

    and hate you the next.

    Please know,

    I try my best.

    Now that I'm gone,

    I know you can rest.

    Which is great!

    You need someone who really needs you.

    more than I do.

    Sorry for being so mean,

    sorry I didn't come clean.

    I have my intentions, 

    and always end up learning my lesson.

    My Lady

    Tell me what you wish for,

    all I need is what you need.

    Whenever you need succour,

    I'll gladly yield myself to help.

     

     

    Your smile disseminates rays of hope,

    I can hardly look away from it.

    With you I know I can cope,

    cos our connection is gainly fit.

     

     

    Whenever your hand holds mine,

    I bounce forth and bubble.

    My being rejoices because you are mine,

    thus no one can make me grumble.

     

     

    Though the crowd makes me fret,

    your presence gives me strength.

    You embody many precious things,

    I'm glad I found you out quick.

    The Theory Of My Life

    My theory is to love them Who hates me, To respect them Who dishonors me, To accept them Who denies me, Like a tree begets flowers And fruits despite hitting it. ...

    Hurts

    It hurts and I don’t know why

    My bones feel brittle and my eyes sting

    My back feels like breaking

    And my shallow breathes keep breathing

     

    I’m breaking and I don’t know why

    I don’t know why I’m sad

    Or why I’m lonely

    I have a family

     

    They support me as much as they can

    But all I notice are what they lack

    And in what they lack I get mad

    At what they lack I hold a grudge

     

    I don’t wanna be like this

    Holding loathing like a treasure

    Keeping it in my heart,

    holding it forever

     

    I don’t want to wake up to tears

    Or dread of the day ahead

    I don’t want to stay in bed

    But I feel paralyzed, like I’m dead

    Rage and Want

    Blazin' with rage
    Busted my gauge
    Torned memory page
    Tormented you in a cage

    Seize this fire
    I'll make you my sire
    My dream will come true
    I'll give you a clue

    I can be your lover
    But I'm a torturer
    Beware my defier
    I'm your greatest nightmare

    BROKEN

    Promises like glass—

    so fragile and carried 

    with delicate hands.

    One misstep, and it all 

    comes crashing, falling 

    in an unexplainable fashion.

    My golden glass never reached 

    its final stage. It has been bruised 

    over and over,

    and glazed 

    repeatedly. It has been

    scorched by the suns of 

    mistrust, and all that remains

    are the broken shards 

    of nothingness.
