I see your heart in everything you do. Every day I see something new from you I didn't see before. With how I am, I do not deserve you to know you in any way, shape, or form. You should've put away for another who, not me. You are there when the tears of pain and heartache are streaming down my face. I don't deserve that at all. I deserve someone to spoon-feed my insufferable gloom and sadness to my heart. I deserve to stay in that melancholy state I was in many moons ago. You just plainly decide to surround your love around a wretch like me. Just recklessly surround your love around me. Neverending it seems. Overwhelming it is, I know that for sure. A love so strong that you would leave the others who are not lost for a lost one like me. A broken one like me. You would carry me home,be that light that I need. You were there in my lonely nights and gloomy days till I felt better, but even longer after that too. I could close my eyes and dream of a world that accepts me during those stormy nights, but you taught me to hold on, look forward, to dream of this world's possibilities. So thanks for being there is what I am trying to say. Thanks for being there...Thanks.
Had to write something that followed a certain mood and I tried thankful but it was kinda a gloomy thankful but that is ok.It ended up talking about my boyfriend so it kinda mushy too

I'm at a road block,
While the clock went tick-tock
This one here is a fighter
He sets fire, easy like a lighter
Grabbed hold of that metal tight,
Not letting go without a fight.
Heavy and heavin'
He lets go to start leavin'
His mind tortures him "Nothing but talk"
Now he's in a head lock
Knees bent, shoulder back
He's a fighter that's back in his groove and sharp as a tack
Bulldozer
He won't go into foreclosure
He never breaks his composure
He'll break through this barrier
Provin to them he ain't no longer a little terrier
But a bull... dozer
And this one here is nothing  but a **fighter

My name is Erin
and i was *****
at the age of 7

it has taken me
14 years of my life
for those 13 words to escape
my hollow mouth

the only questions i come to now
is why
why lock me in that room
why take everything from me
my innocence
my purity
my childhood

in that room
where my family trusted you
where i trusted you
the night terrors i have to this day
still haunt my mind

like a never ending
drive in movie that plays
over
and
over
only the moon in the night sky
isnt made to be found here
there is no light in these terrors

i cant sleep this time of year
because every time i do
its you
in that room
locking the door
shutting the windows
******* me
yelling at me
every single night
i close my eyes

it has taken me 14 years
to accept the fact that i was taken by you
i have been numb ever since
left in the dust
rotting away at the core
thinking i was nothing
thinking i deserved nothing
because you took everything

but not anymore
i will recover from this
i am strong enough
i believe in myself
i believe in my own happiness
and i promsie
that when i have children one day
i will never ever let them rot at the core
i will find happiness
the darkness will not take over this time

When I was a child,
I was taught poetry wasn't mild,
It was deep as the sea,
And it seemed truly unachievable for me.
I was taught poetry had to rhyme,
Every single line, every single time.
So poetry seemed out of my reach,
Like chasing a seagull down a beach,
Jumping ever so slightly away,
Or soaring into the sunny day.

So I never thrived for what I thought would,
No, Could
Never be.

I guess now I'm fixing the mistakes of past me.
