I was taught to love you from birth
You raised me and taught me, watched me grow
As I'm older, you've changed
Rearranged the priorities I thought you had
I've had a hunger for knowledge for years
I thought you did too

Yet you yell about 'them'
'They're ruining america'
'I don't want them near me'
How did you raise me, how did I not know all this time?

How did you hold me in as an infant, with your arms balled up in fists?
How did you kiss me with poison on your lips?

I am from you, you are in me
Take my blood and let it reach your veins
I am immune to whatever plagues these childhood heroes
Maybe they got lost along the way
I've tried to help, but the poison takes over
Clouds their thoughts, they yell

I've looked up to them for twenty years
twenty ways they've wronged me
twenty ways they've hurt me
and twenty years still, I will love them
Because I will not kiss my children with poisoned lips
The poison stops with me

Every now and then we'd meet in his old ***** room which he no longer inhabited. We shared something we chose never to label for there wasn't any word to describe the things we did and the things we said. We became nocturnal, we found peace within the night and each other. Everything about him was so familiar; he was my home away from home. I found safety in his humour and the way he would sing out of the blue and play the tune within his fingers. The building which holds all of what we've done is to be demolished and nothing will be the same once it's gone. It was one of a kind... just like us.
I can't believe i'm going to lose one of my favourite places. I'm completely heartbroken.

"
to this day
he still holds
every piece of her soul.
he doesn't even know it,
but her heart will
always be
in his hands.

And maybe it was supposed to end like this.
Maybe right when I figured out what I was feeling you were supposed to move on.
Maybe
- it doesnt hurt any less.
You claim to need me,
but lately I feel us drifting.
You claim to care,
but you dont even see me breaking.
Im holding everyone together,
stitching up everyones wounds.
Im trying to glue you all up,
patch up every hole smooth.
Im trying to keep everyone
-from falling to pieces.
But me?
Im already shattered on the floor.
Nobody notices,
Im losing myself in all your tears.
Im losing myself in everyones fears.
Maybe you will see it,
the way my eyes glisten,
the way my body trembles.
Maybe you'll notice the black holes
in place of my eyes,
lack of sleep,
death.
I hope so,
I hope somebody see's.
I hope somebody cares enough to mend me up.
For now I just keep losing myself,
in everyone else.

A poor heart is one which finds
No companion
Along the way of life.

A poor person is one which cuts
Another onion
Seeking just to weep.

A poor soul is one which haunts
No one else
But only & only itself.
This loneliness devours me breath-by-breath.

Hope and luck have got one thing in common,
both have an association with an uncertain future.

Somewhere down the line
Somewhere along the way
Not exactly sure,
when and where,
but sometime, somewhere met with an uncertain future,
which had got the following things to say,

Here I am back again,
telling you the same thing again,
which was told prior,
I am telling you again,
so do remember and keep it in your mind for the longest period of time,
if possible forever.

Ups and downs
Highs and lows
Yes and no
Success and failure
Everything and all of the above are part of life,
will remain in life as life will continue along with the same.

The only thing that needs to be kept in mind during all the chaos and confusion of life is to make sure, not to give up in life at any point in time.

Continue with what you have got in your mind,
continue with the same.
A moment in life will come when one thing will follow the next and everything else will fall in it's respective place,
the only condition that remains then is not to give up in life till that moment in time becomes a part of life,
however again life will continue with the same.

Ups and downs
Highs and lows
Yes and no
Success and failure
Everything and all of the above,
life will continue with the same.

Life goes on
Life continues
Life follows,
the moment that has gone with regards to the moment that is yet to come and become a part of the present moment in time in the present,
exactly that moment is yet to arrive in it's requisite place.
Life continues.

Liking you
Had sent me to the depths of madness.
It was when I realized this, that I felt completely sane.
Now it's midnight.
I'm writing to friends, we catch up, and laugh together.
Genuine laughter.
And I don't think of you.
These are moments of peace.
When you're not roaming the halls of my brain
Shaking the delicate equilibrium of moods.
These are moments I can breathe.
These are moments of a silent heart, and dry cheeks.
These are moments that end too quickly.
Because my heart floods with sadness when I think of your horrid beauty
Because I can't bring myself to walk away
Because you love someone else.
Because you love someone else.
Because you love someone else.
Because I can’t be that someone else,
I'm sorry ,
I know you won't care,
But,
goodbye.

Let's talk about a human being,
Be it a male or a female being...
The infant needs care,
It also needs to feed..
The infant cries,
The infant laughs.
And nothing else matters.

Then the infant grows up to be a kid,
Becomes a more big teenager next..
The teenager needs attention,
It needs to be accompanied..
The teenager plays,
The teenager enjoys.
And nothing else matters.

The teenager matures into an adult,
Blasts each one of the social norms.
The adult needs inspiration,
It needs to be truly loved..
The adult thinks,
The adult aspires,
And nothing else matters.
A poem inspired by the song title of 'Nothing Else Matters' from Metallica.

I'm so tired of having to choose
Where I'll be and what I'm gonna do
Where do I go?
Cause
Every direction i go seems to be against the flow
And who will I be?
What does it even mean to just be me?
Every night I lie awake
My thoughts come rolling in
Love is won, love is lost
And loves that might have been I see the ghost of long lost hope
And shattered broken dreams I know it's time to carry on
But It's harder than it seems
But I gotta let it go, all the pain and strife and
I gotta let it go, and move on with my life but
I wanna know but I don't know
Which way I'm gonna go
Where will I go?
Which way will I go?
At times I can't tell what's up or down
My head spinning' all the time
Every time that I turn around,
There's another useless sign
I wanna know but I don't know
Lost in confusion
I feel like I'm losing it all
Where do I go from here?
With all this confusion,
Now who's gonna break my fall?
There's no one left to call
As times gone by,
I can't deny
They've left their mark on me
Nothing is clear anymore
Did I let you down?
Sorry my good intentions never seem to come around
But
I gotta let it go, it's time to let it be
I gotta let it go, and then I can be free if not its going to hold me back from things i never thought i could do
I
Don't understand the master plan
That only God can see
I need to know, I wanna go
And lock it all inside
I wonder why and I say goodbye
And gather up my pride
And I have to believe
That there's an answer that I can't  see right now
I know I have the will to carry on
Life's is what make me strong
I've learned too much to turn my head away now and i got more to learn
I just so tired of having' to choose
What i want to do or what others want me to be
I gotta let it go, all the pain and strife
I gotta let it go, and move on with my life
So now I'm just gonna start over
piece by piece  I'll build my life again
And I'll begin
To learn from all of my mistakes
Then let them fly away to help some one else
Now its time to let it go
I got to let it go,
We got to let it go for good but before i go, God please
Tell me, where to go?
