Do you love me? (Poem)

rose

 

As I grow, I see the changes in this society

Economy falling, people dying, it’s a catastrophe

But yet, I don’t see the love you have for me

Rage and fear I see covering your eyes

“Can’t live without you being by my side.”

Yea, I heard these saying before but yet I’m still confused

With you hitting and slapping me as if I’m a dude

And soon as it’s over, you look me in my face

You tell me that you love me and that it will be okay

And again…

I fall for you because I never loved myself

Just enough to realize that you were in it for the wealth

The shoes, the clothes, the watches that I bought

To make you happy but never took a second thought

To maybe you were just all about the greed

You wanted to use me to make yourself succeed

“But I thought you loved me?”

Were the words I cried out to you

The day you walked out the door and made some lame excuse

That I was the problem and that’s what I truly believed

So I tried to kill myself to get some relief

But one thing I realized…

It wasn’t you who wasn’t loving me…

It was me who wasn’t loving myself

The Snowball Effect (Poem)

What makes it easy for a snowball to gain its momentum to only end in a mass destruction?

Something that may start off so small becomes indulged in your thoughts only to grow and grow and grow…..

And soon become to heavy to bear on your own…

Making it noticeable to others that you carry this pain inside you while wearing a different face.

But not only does the snowball affect one person, no, no.. Others see it to. They see it coming and can’t understand how it has gotten so big in such a short amount of time.

Or how you have let something that small take heavily over your thoughts.

Pieces of the snow breaks off and smacks those too close to you in the face. It may only leave a small wound but sometimes it can hit them in the right place at the right time to knock them over.

Now, not only is it your snowball, but others have joined in too and the momentum of that, once, small piece of snow, has now affected the ones so close to you

But you can’t see because the debris is too heavy to notice to chain reaction. So what do you do?

Do you isolate yourself until you can chop away at the surface until its small enough to manage?

Do you try and slow down the momentum by trying to think of something positive while suffocating in a dark place?

But it eventually keeps going. It eventually will crash. It will eventually burst into millions of pieces.

And then that’s when you try and gather those pieces and mend them back together. By that time a new snowball has formed……
