The deepest regret, is knowing you could've done something, but out of fear refused to.

You like me because you don't know me; you lust because it requires nothing.

How dare you pretend to cradle my heart, when your intent was to break it!

You convinced me I could never be loved, because of what you saw as a flaw.

There are five types of people: those who listen to what you say and show they are; those who act like they aren't listening, but are; those who listen but don't apply; those who act like they are listening but aren't, and those who just don't listen at all.

Fear brings out the worst in us: causing secondary emotions and ideas to break free from our logic holding it back. It is a demon that lives inside us all.

Christmas Eve
Why am I not happy?
‘Tis the most wonderful time of the year,
time for joy, and time for cheer,
yet I feel sad.
My spirits are downcast,
heavily weighed down by things I can’t control
I don’t know why I am so sad.
Today just wasn’t my day,
I’ll try again tomorrow....
Christmas Day.

They said a picture is worth a thousand words, but my life is a novel. The world has only seen one picture, and determined who I am, yet they missed several chapters. A camera really can steal your soul, pawning it to strangers for the satisfaction of severe judgement.

I’m Fine (Part 2)
So I whined about always lying-
I’m fine.
What if I didn’t?
Who came up with the rule
always act okay?
If I was given the chance, would I show the world
my pain?
or euphoria?
I couldn’t.
I can’t.
I’m numb:
I feel nothing because I act as though nothing is wrong.

If I Could
If I could fly with wings like a feather-
I would.
To the heavens,
way up beyond the clouds
‘til I see angels-
and I wouldn’t stop there.
If I could,
but if I could.
I’d plead with the angels to send me to Jesus-
I‘d no longer imagine,
‘cause I’d be in His presence,
if I could,
but for now, I can’t.
If I could nurture my faith, small as a mustard seed,
until it is tall as the tree-
I would-
I can.

Vested Interest
You have this vested interest in me;
for so long I've been blind,
but now I see
you don’t love me.
It was a show to protect what the public thought of you-
are selfish.
Have you no compassion on my heart,
now shattered-
like glass on wooden floors?
You used me to get to my money......
