I Know Better

Now that I think about it...
WHY?
Why did I trust him?
Why did I give-in?
Only to end up feeling sorry for myself
I trusted him with most of my heart
WHY? I know not!
He lied.
Cheated my feelings.
He even told me he loved me!
I didn't believe it and for that 
Im proud of myself
He called me "baby"...
As he did all the other girls
He was talking to.
"His shortcake"
He made me believe that I was his #1
So genuine yet such a deceiving liar
He disrespected all girls
Gave all guys a bad reputation.
For now and forever
I will never really trust them
All of them are the same
Some just put on a better act then others.

Wait

When will it stop?
Now, later maybe never
I sit and wait for that day
When I leave then maybe
Maybe then, I won’t be here to hear it
I cant wait till that very day
That I don’t have to hear all the bull
From anybody and everybody
I’m tired of it all 
But even now it still comes to haunt me
As if I did something wrong
But no, what did I do
NOTHING!
Nothing at all!
Except for trying and trying
But then again it never works
Everybody doesn’t even care to know
All they know how to do is talk 
I’m so tired and worn out with the same stuff
All the time, even if I did succeed
It wouldn’t matter
They don’t know how it feels and
THEY DON’T CARE
If they knew how it felt to be called all this…
All these names that you’d never wish upon another
It sucks to be called a “FATSO”
BY YOUR OWN MOTHER!
And for you “little” brother to follow in her footsteps
You don’t know how it feels
And I’d never wish it upon anyone else
And then again……
I WAIT!

I Wish

Sometimes I wish I never spoke a word
Cuz now I sit here like a flightless bird
Waiting…
Waiting for the next worm
It came out as if to be amusing
Then testing it chances to see what will happen
This bird was very much a patient one
Just sitting and watching to see what will occur
But soon looses interest
and moves one to the next unlucky one

Tears

I sit here alone in my room
Crying…
Crying away the pain
The pain that I’ve had inside for years
Every day of my life
Someone says something and again
I feel like crying
For the past four years
There hasn’t been a week
That I hadn’t cried at least once
The pain that I’ve had all cooped up inside
Is out and here to stay
I’ve let all of this run past me all these years
Now it has caught up with me
Most of my family is the same way
One thing is that I don’t think
They could imagine the pain they are putting me through
Every comment that comes out of their mouth
I don’t think they know how much it effects me
And for my little brothers
 To follow in their footsteps
This is the worst thing to imagine
Your little brother calling you
“FAT”
“UGLY”
“FATSO”
“COW”
Every time I think about this 
I’m in tears..
Right now I feel like quitting
I feel like I should just stop trying 
And that I’ll never succeed
But in my heart, I know that there’s a better solution
 When I finally leave from here
My pain will go away
And hopefully be gone forever

Lonely

By my self
All the time,
Every day
Every hour
Every minute
Every second
I long for someone to be there
To fill that hole
That hole right there,
Empty and void
Waiting…
But I don’t know
I don’t know what to think
What to feel
What to want
What to see
Maybe this will be like this forever
Maybe I’m meant to be alone
With no one
No one to hold
No one to cherish
No one to talk to
No one to share everything with
I’m really confused
Especially now
With all the drama
All the tears
Everything
The ignorance
The stupidity
The conceited
It’s all reality and its all REALLY…
ANNOYING!

You and Me

With best friend broken another friendship was born
This friendship was not only something that I hoped
But wanted
And now,
A part of you has grown in me
And so you see
Its you and me together and never apart
Maybe in distance but never in heart
I searched for something that I had recently lost
In my hand I grabbed I what I thought was a dull but shining star
But in fact, it was just in a cocoon
It was a person that I could share my most embarrassing moments
This new friend……
                                    …..walked in when the rest of the world walked out
