That One Friend

You were my one and only friend,
In a world that judged, that would not bend.
Others would laugh, would point and sneer,
Not knowing the pain, not knowing the fear. 

They mocked my weight, my body, my face,
But they didn’t see the hurt in its place.
They didn’t know the battles I fought,
The reasons I struggled, the battles I caught. 

When I first met you, I thought you were bright,
A shining star, a guiding light.
But as time passed, I saw the cracks,
You weren’t all that—just lies and acts. 

I chose to stay at your house, night after night,
Happy to starve, to shrink from sight.
A can of meatballs for dinner some days,
Because that’s all you had—at least I ate. 

School was my refuge, my place to breathe,
An escape from home, a chance to be free.
But even there, I was pushed aside,
Invisible, broken, with nowhere to hide. 

But you, you were there, or so I thought,
We laughed together, but those laughs were bought.
I trusted you, with every piece of me,
But now I see you weren't who you claimed to be. 

You laughed at my pain, not with me,
Took my insecurities and made them a decree. 

When I needed a friend to lift me high,
You watched me fall, didn’t ask why. 

You saw me hurt, yet took from my heart,
Fed off my weakness, tore me apart.
I thought you were different, that you understood,
But you were just another hurt, misunderstood. 

You made me sleep on that cold, small bed,
While you took the warmth and left me for dead.
The friendship I thought we had, so true,
Was just a game to you, nothing new. 

I needed someone who would stand by my side,
Who wouldn’t laugh when I cried.
But instead, you took advantage, time after time,
As I searched for solace, hoping for a sign. 

You weren't my friend—not in the way I thought,
Just someone who took what you never sought.
You saw my struggles, but turned them to jest,
A “friend” who never cared about what was best. 

Now I see clearly, though it took some time,
The love I sought was never really mine.
You fed on my weakness, my quiet despair,
And I was just a fool, thinking you cared. 

But look at me now, a changed woman indeed,
Stronger, wiser, no longer in need.
The weight you mocked? Gone without trace,
And now I shine with beauty and grace. 

All your insults, the things you would say,
Were just your insecurities thrown my way.
I carried your burdens, believed every lie,
But now I stand tall, holding my sky. 

I don’t need your laugh, I don’t need your lie,
I’m stronger now, no longer asking why.
I walked through the storms, through the ridicule and hate,
And I’ll leave behind that toxic weight. 

You were never the friend I needed to be,
But I’ve learned to be my own company.
And though the scars still linger, they don’t define,
I’ve found my strength, and I’ll be just fine.

Safe, But Stuck

I was once sad and miserable,
Stuck behind the same four walls.
Home felt safe —
Too safe —
Because I didn't want to leave.

The world outside felt big and loud,
And fear would always pull me down.
So I stayed where I knew best,
Hiding in my little nest.

The walls were kind, they held me tight,
But they blocked the morning light.
I watched the days just pass me by,
Afraid to live, afraid to try.

But slowly, something changed in me —
A quiet voice that longed to see.
And step by step, I faced my fear,
And found the world was bright and clear.

I’m still afraid, but now I know —
The safest place is where I grow.

Until We Meet Again

When you passed, it hit me hard,
Made me realize time is short and goes too fast.
Life can be lost like the flick of a card,
Moments we thought would always last. 

But you chose to go, to be free from the pain,
To fly high with your heart held high again.
No more suffering, no more strife,
Only peace beyond this life. 

Life is so precious and far too short,
Yet you lived a life full of love and support.
Three beautiful children, hearts full of gold,
A story of warmth and love to be told. 

We watched you fight, we saw you smile,
Holding on with grace all the while.
But the weight was heavy, the road too steep,
So you closed your eyes and found your peace. 

Now you're gone, yet never too far,
A guiding light, our brightest star.
Your laughter echoes in the breeze,
Your love still lingers in the trees. 

The days move on, but something’s missing,
A space that no one else can fill.
I carry you in every heartbeat,
In quiet nights so deep and still. 

We miss you more than words can say,
Yet in our hearts, you'll always stay.
And as we walk this path anew,
We carry the best of you. 

So when we look up to the sky,
We’ll see your wings soaring high.
No longer bound by pain or fear,
Always watching, always near.

I Was Just Eleven

I was just eleven that day,
Seeking love that slipped away,
Yearning for a warm embrace,
Hoping someone'd see my face. 

Then I caught your steady gaze,
Like the sun through morning haze,
Blue eyes bright and waves of brown,
Wore your beauty like a crown. 

Knew you for a little while,
Trapped beneath your gentle smile,
Kind and warm you seemed to be,
As you slowly circled me. 

When you called, I ran so fast,
Thinking this sweet joy would last,
Loved to see your smiling face,
Never sensed the dark disgrace. 

Hushed me in with whispered care,
Promises hung in the air,
But your touch turned cold and strange,
Everything began to change. 

In that shed so dark and deep,
Where my innocence would weep,
Said it was true love divine,
While I whispered "no" each time. 

Pushed against the wooden wall,
Watched my childhood start to fall,
Kiss turned cruel and sharp as steel,
Tore apart all I could feel. 

Walked away with bleeding heart,
Childhood memories torn apart,
No one there to hear my plea,
Just eleven - that was me.

It’s Okay, Not To Be Okay

It’s okay to stumble, to break and to fall,
To feel like you’re nothing, like nothing at all.
The weight on your chest, the ache in your soul —
It’s not a reflection of losing control.

It’s okay to cry when the pain runs too deep,
To shatter in silence when no one can see.
Your tears are not weakness, nor shame in disguise —
They’re proof of the storms you’ve survived in your eyes.

It’s okay to pause, to not have a plan,
To tremble in fear when you don't think you can.
The bravest of hearts are burdened with doubt,
But healing begins when you let it pour out.

It’s okay to rage, to scream at the sky,
To question the reason, the how and the why.
You’re not defined by the days that you break —
The cracks in your spirit are spaces to make.

It’s okay to not be okay for a while,
To wear your own sorrow without a fake smile.
But know as you wander through shadows and rain —
The sun still remembers how to rise once again.

A Message Worth Sharing

I know you're tired, I know you're worn,
I know you're fighting, bruised and torn.
The world feels heavy, dark, unkind,
Like no one sees what's on your mind.

But hear me now—you're not alone,
You're more than pain you've ever known.
You're strong, you're bright, you're meant to be,
There's so much left for you to see.

The nights feel long, the days feel cold,
Your heart feels heavy, hope grows old.
But storms don’t last, the sun will rise,
And wipe the tears from weary eyes.

So take a breath, just one for now,
You’ll make it through—I'll tell you how:
One step, one day, just start with this,
And trust that better days exist.

If no one’s said this—let me be first,
You’re not alone, you have great worth.
You're loved, you're needed, hold on tight,
I promise you, you’ll be all right.

Unbroken

The road was long, the path was tough,
The world was harsh, the going rough.
But with each step, though slow and small,
I found the strength to stand up tall.

The winds may roar, the rain may fall,
But I still rise above it all.
Each scar I bear, each tear I've shed,
Has shaped the courage in my head.

I may have faltered, stumbled, lost,
But I’ve learned what it takes to cross.
For deep within, a fire burns —
A light that never fails, it turns.

And though the world may test my might,
I know I’ll keep on through the fight.
For I am strong, and I will stay,
Unbroken, come what may.

Black Box

In a box, being fed what’s right,
No reason why, no guiding light.
You told me no but never said,
The thoughts that lingered in your head.

No consequence was ever shown,
Just silent rules I should have known.
Now hands untrained must break the mold,
To find the truths I was not told.

I teach myself what life demands,
With trembling heart and empty hands.
An adult now, I fight to live —
To learn the tools you couldn’t give.

Echoes Of Hurt

I ate what was given,
yet still, I grew too much,
my body betrayed me,
while your words cut like a blade.
“You’re so fat,” you'd say,
as if it was my fault to bear,
a child branded for something
I couldn’t fix or repair. 

Still, you'd say, "Eat all your dinner,"
like that would make me right,
feeding the guilt with every bite,
in the silence of the night.
You blamed me for what I couldn’t change,
for the flesh I never chose,
as if I was a broken thing,
something you could dispose. 

Each word you threw, like daggers sharp,
pierced deeper every day,
but now I see it wasn’t me—
it was your hate, your dismay.
You saw me as something less,
something unworthy of love,
but I’m more than your cruel words,
more than your push and shove. 

You wanted me to call you dad,
you were meant to be a stepdad,
but you didn’t even step up—
never once did you try to stand by.
Not once did you show me you cared,
not once did you try to see,
a father’s love should lift, not break,
but you couldn't even notice me. 

The black sheep of the family,
unseen, unloved, alone,
you wouldn’t have noticed if I disappeared—
I was just a name you’d disown.
And my mum, she wasn’t better,
her love as cold as stone,
standing silent, watching me fall,
never lifting me alone. 

You both tried to pass on your pain,
to make yourselves feel whole,
but I won’t carry what you gave me—
my heart is not your toll.
I already have enough to hold,
too much to carry from the past,
I won't let your brokenness define me,
I’ll rise, I’ll make it last. 

My bedroom, my safe place,
so quiet, so alone,
just what I need to heal,
to find the peace I’ve never known. 

But I am stronger now.
I’ve risen from the wreckage you left behind—
slimmer, happier, healthier,
a soul refined.
You never gave me the tools to live,
so I learned them on my own,
built myself up from the ruins,
and now I stand, fully grown. 

I’ve gained wisdom, strength, and grace,
things you could never steal.
I nourish my body with care,
and honor what is real.
I am whole, I am free,
unshackled from your past—
I’ve found the light within me,
and nothing can outlast.

Entwined In Love

Mother and daughter, side by side,
Soft paws patter, eyes open wide.
Sometimes they play, sometimes they hide,
But always stay close, full of pride. 

They chase and tumble, leap and run,
Basking in the morning sun.
Sometimes they fight, sometimes they roar,
But love still grows forevermore. 

Their eyes shine bright, like skies so blue,
So full of love, so pure and true.
Their fur so soft, like clouds so light,
A gentle touch, a warm delight. 

Each purr so calm, so sweet and deep,
A song that lulls my heart to sleep.
They stretch, they yawn, then curl up tight,
Safe and warm throughout the night. 

In quiet moments, side by side,
With love so deep, so strong, so wide.
Through every season, rain or shine,
Their hearts stay close, their paws match mine. 

They wander, play, and rule the space,
Yet always find a soft embrace.
No matter where they choose to roam,
With me, they always have a home. 

Curled together, safe and sound,
A love like theirs is rarely found.
Through every day, through every night,
They stay together—warm and bright.
