Shhh

This house keeps me quiet

The sound of my thoughts explode

I get punished.

My feelings do not matter,

My self expression is unacceptable,

My freedom is nonexistent.

I am just a stranger in a place I once called home.

Though I do my best to stay away,

family always has something to say.

But I cannot speak?

Silent I remain.

Shhh!

My thoughts drive me insane.

Shhh!

Where do I go?

Shhh!

Who do I turn to?

Shhh!

All you hear

Far and near,

The silence of my thoughts.

The whispers of others and my doings.

I do not have a voice.

Silenced at a young age,

Torn apart by words,

Ripped open and exposed,

Shhh!

I do not have anything to say.

To them, that’s the only way.

Tears

The fear of losing you

The emptiness of life without you

My heart hurts thinking of love

And not having you to give it all to.

Tears falling

Puddles drowning my every thought

Every moment we’ve shared

All the kisses you’ve stolen

The times you’ve left me breathless

My life sees no happiness if I can’t share it with you

My soul has learned to smile because of you

To fall asleep tonight not knowing

Unsure and hurt

Because I wanted to live

To put your happiness at risk

Carelessly for a night of fun

To come back home and have you not welcome me,

I care not for this lifestyle

If it takes whom I love the most,

You.

Untitled

Ponder off into a virtual reality

Ease the mind to fit all perspectives

Ideas of those who choose to create

Portraits of picture perfect

Unimpressed

Unbothered

Unthinkable

People who portray the dream

Yet never showcase the struggle

Capture the moment

Keep the memory

Grasp the concept

Release the sorrow

Inhale happiness

And breathe…
