Victory Long Poem
I say I’m fine like I’m okay
Don’t need to darken their day
They don’t need to hear about my intruding pain
It’s not like it matters anyways
They say you fake it till you make it
So I’ll put a smile on my face
I’ll pretend to be okay
I’ll try not to go insane
I’ll try to be okay
All the thing I can’t erase
The memories of my mistakes
The voices that remind me I’m a disgrace
This crushing weight that makes my heart ache
All the things I wish to say
But they won’t care anyway
So instead I’m okay

Victory Long Poem
The breathtaking sea of thoughts
That floods my brain
Clouding my judgement
And causing severe pain
The whirlwinds of emotions
With heavy and drowning feelings
It invades all of my surroundings
As it fills my lungs with its chaotic waters
And the darkness that swallows
Me while in my sorrows
The silence it echoes
While my mind explodes
For a minute, all lays calm
Like the eye of my storm
That longs for existence
My suffers stop and I am freed
But then I wake
To realize it was just a dream
There is no escaping the internal screams
That haunt me until forever
Whispering memories of the sting
Causing my ear to ring
With my heart that aches till I break
And once again I am trapped in this fear
For I may lose to this everlasting battle
That I am forced to fight against my mind
And when I lose I may never return
For my happiness is lost
And my joy is forgotten
The light forever dulled
While my insides slowly die
All that is left is the numbness from the hurt
The tears of the heart
That leaves me scared
And the person before is no more

Victory Long Poem
Memories
The happy ones are sad
The sad ones hurt
Ones that leave doubt lingering about
Memories of pain that drives you insane
Memories.
I think of happy moments and want to go back
I try to make the best of my life
But the best times seem to only exist in the past
Sometimes memories of hate invade
I remember the words of those who hurt me
The things they said that I know weren’t true
But the feeling of betrayal still remains the same
And then there are ones I try hardest to forget
The painful memories that scar me with regret
Haunting my mind as they lurk in the shadows
Whispering images that leave me sorrow
Memories
Painful and cruel
Bringing heartache and heartbreak
Reminding you of the laughter
Replaced with disaster
Memories.

Victory Long Poem
Your skin glows like the avocado, blossoms talent as the cherry blossom in the purest hope of spring.
My yearning heart rises to your piano voice and leaps like a tiger at the whisper of your name, Andres.
The evening ascends in on a great parrot wing.
I am calmed by your soft sweater that I carry into the twilight of starbeams and hold next to my mouth.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of blood.
As my hand falls from your fingers, I am reminded of your smile.
In the hushed, I listen for the last rain of the spring.
My heated brain breathes inside my spirit. I wait in the crystal moonlight for your secret heart so that we may talk as one, brain to brain, in search of the glorious black sensual bed of love.

Victory Long Poem
How do you move on?
When you’ve lost your entire universe
In the blink of an eye they’re now gone
When all that is left is painful memories
How do you continue?
When your mind starts to fill with regret
And all you can think about is those last words you never ment
When you wish you could just take it all back
How do you stop the haunting of the past?
How do you wake up every morning to live another day?
When all you want to do is tell them I love you
And everyday feels dark, cold, and grey
Knowing you can’t remove all the hate
How do I move on?

Victory Long Poem
Everyone hates Rainy days
They’re so cold and grey
So why do they bring me peace?
How does it put my mind at ease?
The Storm matches my chaotic mind
Slowing things down so that I can unwind
The Rain washes out my pain
And the darkness neutralizes my brain
The weather aids my temper
It tames the raging fire
Cooling the blazing embers
Causing my hatred to retire
Rainy days allow my head to rest
Relieving the weight on my chest
Steals the piercing heartache
Healing the damage gained by my mistakes
What's not to love about Rainy days?

Victory Long Poem
When I was born, my life sucked. I wasn’t important, nobody really cared. Some bad things happened, and eventually it led me to you. I was only three, and didn't have much. Then you gave me a home, and became my family. You made me feel safe, and I was happy. I finally felt like I meant something to someone, I found self-worth because you made me feel as though I had value. Treated me with kindness and with care, as if I was your own. And I knew then, when you held me in your arms, that with youI am loved.
You were patient with me when I couldn’t understand. You stayed calm when I freaked out. You stayed strong through the struggle. You made me feel like I was enough when I was doubtful. All those nights I would cry, wishing I could be normal, to be like everyone else, just wanting to fit in. You hugged me and said that everything will go the way it’s supposed to. All those years I would take my anger out on you, didn’t change how much you loved me. But made me love you ten times more.
You gave me a life worth living, and I wouldn’t change anything. Because of you I wake up every morning, continuing my life that you gave me a shot at. Everytime you push me to be my best has made me stronger, and makes me better. I can’t imagine life without you, and not sure I’d make it without you. But I will always try harder and harder, in hopes that maybe one day I can give back some of all you’ve given me. I will always push myself to succeed, just to make you proud. Maybe one day I can give a better life, of which you are much more than deserving of.
I thank you for all you have done. For all the times you cheered me up when I was feeling grey. For all the opportunities you have given me. For pushing me to be a better person, so that I will get far in life. I will never choose for this to end, because you have given me something to love. I love you with all my heart, and that love will never end. You have done so much for me and there aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for you. Hopefully one day I can repay you for it all, though I doubt that is even possible. I am so much more than blessed to have you because you truly are better than the best.
I love you to the moon, the diamond stars, infinity and beyond…and then back again. To my universe, Momma Bear, Happy Birthday! And may all your wishes come true.
