Talk about how you feel, talk about how they fell
Purge your emotions without due process, but remember, it didn’t just happen overnight
He wasn’t always alright
Sometimes they cried through the night and smiled in the morning
Sometimes amidst tears and pain they managed a smile
And sometimes he tried to share a part of him with you but you didn’t listen
He tried to be a man as community dictates, he didn’t cry in public as community distastes
He faced every challenge as a test
He cried inside with a dry face
He faced a pile of bills by popping pills, hoping the world would see his desperation
Instead they made memes and laughed typical of his generation
The world juried, judged and prosecuted him, without due process and without clear evidence,
they politically executed him
A once upon a time hero turned villain
It didn’t just happen, if only you could listen as he called out
They don’t just fall from grace; they hang on the precipice long enough begging for help,
until nobody seems to care.

Over 1200 poems I have constructed, written
bled, cried for, endured tremendous insanity
What do I have to show for it...
just more pencils, just more pens
5 more unused notepads
and a decaying, boring, repetitive, bland outlook on the rest of the world
If I were to clone myself, I'd beat myself black and blue
for reasons I can't uncover
for I scribbled all my mistakes
and silent distastes
Love, what infamous notion did I ever truly believe I'd find it
I'm only 18
the only my age believes in are flings
what a blasphemous thing
Am I overrreacting to my recent weeks
I could be
Don't remind me
I am aware some lives are worse than my mine by 10x
but I'm not living their lives
just dwelling in my own personal mini tragedies
As the hour sinks into 9, I sink into darkness
ever so slowly
I have the urge to seclude myself in my cocoon of covers
but it's been said and done
I chuckle at the thought that I was believed myself invincible
hahahahahaha
....I'm only indefinitely vulnerable

Lets say I know you,
Perhaps you also know me,
How much I know you,
And how much of me you know,
That’s entirely different,
Because we were born different,
We remained different,
We had likes and dislikes,
Some matched others did not,
We had tastes and distastes,
Some matched and others did not,
We had temperaments,
We had jobs,
We had families,
We had our incomes and wealth,
We even had our hobbies and pubs,
We even knew different set of people,
And that’s quoting little,
We had differences,
Somewhere we met,
We had chemistry,
And we clicked,
We mostly clicked in our free times,
And in pubs and hotels and house dinners,
As yet we knew so little about each other,
It is strange,
That being different we attract,
Is it true that opposites attract?
