No Tomorrow

In a single moment your whole world can change all hope is gone replaced by an emptiness as vast as the sea the world has gone colorless food has gone tasteless the light in me gone dim tears replace the joy faith done in by anger love like there is no tomorrow

You dont know what you have

You dont really know what you have until its gone, but somtimes I want you to leave so badly just so i can see if what I had was really the best I can get I asked you a question looking for an answer but all i got was silence

day by day

i try to be be me, myself and no one else try to be the best version of myself, that there ever can and will be there's moments moments in which i feel as though i am in control but i am not because after, follow the moments in which i notice that i never was and never will be in control it's my mind, that's in control i hate myself so much, that i want to destroy myself i hate my mind so much, that i question whether it deserves its place on earth sometimes and then i hate myself a bit more for hating myself because i want to be strong for others for her, who sometimes needs me so desperately for them, who might think i'm a freak

skins

the pieces fall of my skin in patches. patches of sadness, worry, doubt and fright. left is just the raw flesh, ready to be used. at first, happiness, freedom and lightheartedness settle in. it flushes me red, my skin glowing with the feelings. then, slowly but surely, anger, distress, trauma and nervousness overcome me, and they turn my skin dry, wounded and slightly detached. that's when everything repeats itself. something turns the newly grown skin under the old, broken one, hot, and the patches fall again, leaving untouched, beautiful skin, just waiting to receive new emotions. my body changes like that, sometimes every day, sometimes only every week.

IT’S A SAD, LITTLE, WRINKLY HEART,

says the barista when I admire the décor riding the surface of my green drink, but I respect her artistry and stare at its persistence although I’ve now savored enough to be recorded in kelp-colored residuals —a foam of bubbles, miniatures— all around the upper third of my tall glass, a seashore for my matcha, tide receding. The morning light entering the coffee shop filters through suspended ash of forests

* * *

Maybe it's easier said than done. Quicker to say the words than to do actions. Especially when you aren't sure about the reaction. Just like scientist have said over the years "with every action there is a reaction." But they didn't tell me the reaction you'd give when I said "I love being here." They didn't say you'd reply, "Stay if you want but don't be surprised when I'm not there." The reaction I didn't want. The action I must've deserved.

lost home in Nakina

When I think of the memories I have once shared in my home It seems that I have lost a part of me My heart and soul My home had played a big major part in my life It tells about who I am as a person A story you might as well say It seems that I have lost a love one; a family member who I can't see anymore Everything that I have done for myself and everybody who has done for me is gone Up in flames It seems that everything I know in life is gone I can't change that A burn of a home that I cherish so much

invincible

I don't see no one to talk to No one to share my thoughts No one to love or just hang with I hear no one around I don't know anyone from here The only thing I hear is sounds from the waves on the water Animals making noises Vehicles passing by on the highway It is like this place These people are strangers to me But who knows I just might be a stranger to myself Sometimes I feel like I am invincible to the whole wide world Even if I had someone to talk to I probably stay to myself I am afraid to tell anyone of how I really feel about myself I feel like I am invincible

a closed door

Closed the door act like you don't care You don't even show how you really feel You closed everyone else out of your life Like you closed a door You put a chain A lock To keep your feelings safe To keep your heart from breaking into pieces Able to cry yourself to sleep at night To comfort yourself A chance to be alone All alone by yourself No one to trust except God and yourself To scream your heart and soul out No ones hears you at all Not even a sound that a ant can hear

shadow

Sometimes I wish I could be a shadow So I could shield myself of being hurt I just keep on putting up with a lot of junk and I'm tired of it The fussing has got to stop But it will never People assume I'm selfish and that I deserve to be fuss at all the time Now if I was a shadow people won't see me except for if they are truly looking for me in the darkness hiding with a slight of light Thinking I'm not around but I am

Heartbreak

In the beginning, there were nine, standing together, like school kids in line. Wondered a few times, about the view they glare, maybe laughing, or sitting in the judge's chair. Companion, friend, observer what they are, always up in affirmative, whenever I may need. A waft of air, they all nod in cadence, agreeing in unison, arguments pose no chance. Had imagined, they will stay forever, curtain down at a time, but never together. Crisp dusk, summer days, an eerie calm, men down, chopped up, my beloved palms.

Until

I love enough until it turns cold I hate enough until the fire burn bold I care enough till the trust is gone I feel sorry until I see it's wrong I'm gone, hidden in the shade ( you can't see me ) I'm gone, until you forget my name ( i hope ) then I'm gone ( hidden in a song ) then I'm gone ( I'll be hiding behind the song ) I care, till the well runs dry I cried, until my eye's ran dry I held on, till my grip was gone I called your name, till i was deaf and dumb Now I'm just gone, hidden in the shade ( you can't see me ) I'm gone, until I forget your name ( i hope ) then I'll be gone ( hidden in a song ) then I'll just be gone ( I'll be hiding behind the song )
