Broken things


Broken Things

Somethings aren’t meant to be fixed
Somethings are meant to stay broken.
I feel like I’m falling
Failing to grab anything that will make me stop.
Why do I find myself in these predicaments?
I always fix others
And I never fix myself.
I always care for everyone else
And I neglect myself.

I wear this mask
To hide my true feelings.
You don’t notice,
No one ever does.
Don’t beat yourself up about it.
It’s just the truth.
Somethings aren’t meant to be fixed
Somethings are meant to stay broken.

I feel the soft salty rivers,
Wanting gouge canyons in my cheeks
But the rain that caused them
Won’t cease.
I breathe deep, hold my resolve
Wipe my face
So no one can see.
Somethings are meant to stay broken
Somethings aren’t meant to be fixed.

Maybe one day
I will find what completes me,
But I don’t think this will be any time soon.
I am always happy to fix someone else
I’m just sorry it had to be you.
Why did it have to be you?
I wasn’t meant to be fixed.
I was meant to stay broken.

A Goddess in My Eyes

I walk through this barren land Wanting to hold that precious hand But it seems too far to grasp I run, but it seems like the dream is fading I can hear Morpheus laughing. I tried to give Cupid the universe So he could shoot us with one of his arrows He declined, said it wasn’t enough for your heart. Eros pines over you Aphrodite is jealous of my love for you But it still doesn’t get me closer. I have climbed over your curvy hills I have drowned in your rivulets of hair I have gazed upon the stars in your eyes I have heard you whispering wind in my ear. What I want most of all Is to taste the tantalizing sweetness of your lips. I worship you Like a flower worships the sun throughout the day Like an astronaut worships the ground after being in space. I’m in love with you And yet I don’t know how to say it. I feel like I’m one step behind Like I’m in love with your shadow Never again seeing the light. I grovel, Stretching out my han...

What I've Seen

You pass me on the sidewalk You sit next to me on the train. You’re pretending you don’t care But I can see your shame. You don’t care if I am sleeping You sit away from me when I am drunk. If you just took a second I would tell you what I came from. I came from a broken system I fell through the cracks. Some people tried to help me But soon stop in their tracks. You say I am homeless I say I’m living off the land. Maybe if we all crashed at the bottom You would see what I see. I see a beautiful world Being choked by power and greed. I see animals dying And it’s getting harder to breathe. I see people getting distracted About the “News” on the T.V. I see all the heart is gone And no one is helping their fellow man. I see all the pain and suffering But never a helping hand. I see voice’s going unheard While people blame the victims. I see leaders taking bribes And commending other tyrants. I see our children suffering At th...

Apprehension

I don’t know what to think. Is there something I am missing? Is it something I said? I told you how I felt But I don’t know if you feel the same. Am I going to quickly Or is my mind just a mess? Was it truly the beginning Or just the beginning of the end? I can’t tell But I am feeling the apprehension setting in. Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this. Maybe I am wrong. I hope you do prove me wrong Because I deserve this. I beat myself up. I run through everything in my mind. But I don’t see how I can come out on top. At least, not yet. I might just be overthinking. I might just be beating myself up for no reason. But this feeling of apprehension Isn’t going away. Not just yet. 02/10/2018
