Why Me?

This is not the first time I have to look outside my window and wonder why me?

I get how people say, you shouldn't ask why me but try me

But can you really ask that?

When you are the only one in the family who cannot attain the love you want to?
When you are the only one who should bear the responsibility of the others?
When you should not defy your parents because your siblings have defy them too much?
When you cannot do what you really want because you try to respect your parents?

Would you ask, Try me? Would you?

When your decision would hurt so many people around you
Would you not hesitate?

When you cannot help to cringe when you know you'll disappoint people who have supported you this long
Would you still pursue your choice?

People would say, screw them. It's your life you are living.

But sometimes, I cannot help to ask myself.
Why am I born into me. Why can't I be as the others. Why I think about others too much.

Why am I me?

It takes another's pain to recognize one's own,

As true as the blood that in our veins flows.

I overjudge most unfairly my own vanity,

I believe "Nothing is really wrong with me".

For in my mind, my gifts are greater than thine,

My woes, meanwhile, mean not more than a whine.

And yet, most irony finds itself hidden

In the million cuts with which our flesh is ridden.

As your mouth opens to purge,

I devour to satisfy a monstours urge.

Both caught in the same unending cycle.

I wrote this poem a few years ago when I found out that one of my biggest childhood idols had bulimia and a self-harming problem. It broke my heart that she hid what was happening to her, but it also helped me to feel closer to her because all this while, I too had hidden my own pain and my issues. She gave me strength to finally come to terms with it and learn to fight. :)

I hope things get better for everyone 💕

I have this feeling in my chest that puts me in stress

I fear the worst and expect less than what I have

I set here staring at the clock again waiting on this life for my to end

I set my standards too high that the reason why I Cry

I dont want nothing mcuh jsut to share and have love

I cant go on without your love

Looking for God to send me blessings from above

I threw a penny in a wishing well

Hoping to attract luck somehow

I kissed the penny and threw it in watching as it hit the bottom

I waited for my wish to granted

Hoping that my dreams come true

wanting this pain to undo

I went home believing it would be true but nothing in the works

The next day I saw another wishing well

i was hesitant of making a wish today becasue it didnt work yesturday

I decided to throw one last cent and this time I prayed after i threw it

i didnt think that the wish would come true until the very next day I met you.

Today I set here wondering what to do

I have nothig, and im BLUE

I thought life was a dream

Guess its jsut a big ole scheme

I have this thought inside my head

that we was going to be together forever but instead we have lost our way

i ddint think it happen this way

I couldnt pathom loosing you again so Idecided to let it end

I mean I rather loose you on my own than looing you from death or from the unknown

I dont think youll miss me much

I just wnat to wish you Good Luck

I wrote tghis poem not in representaion of my life I mean I still married to my husband and were fine its just I think someday well end up not together so I wrote this due to my fears of losoing the one I love hoping it dosent happen. I jsut fear of losing him to a catostrophic even like death or something so this represents that fear, I just wnated to be clear

You can take away my money take away my house take away my car , But you will never take away my Beliefs, my dream, my soul , my DESTINY

In this life were not entitled to anything but the opinions wee have and soemtime sthose dont even matter!!!

Its a tough pill to swallow but its facts I just think who so ever has a problem with morality is foolish as can be becuase we should have the right to be free

I said I was sorry but still im setting here in pain

I wont know if I ever will be the same

I cnat move on I know i said I try

I jsut cant move past the happiness I was denied.

I think Ill always remain this way

thanks for ruining my day
