Nothing

By


I have nothing left

I have lost myself 

My time was spared 

Everything ended 


My efforts 

My energy 

My feelings were wasted 

My emotions were troubled 


I said no 

I wanted a person 

But I denied the offer 

It wasn't a match 


And my heart is stilled 

It is aching so badly 

Let me say I was fooled 

I've been trying hardly 


It was a moment 

Worth Universe 

Which I waited 

Like a thousand years 


I finally ruined it 

Lost all efforts 

It's the other way funny 

I have nothing to regret

If I don't make it, Call my sister

By
 If  I don't make it home,  Or from my dance class,  Or from my early morning jogs,  Or to work someday, Wait for me a little longer,  I might be sitting by the road,  Admiring cars or just overthinking,  I might be still in my bed,  Debating if that day is worth the corporate stress,  I might be deciding if I got to keep going or just give up,  If I don't make it,  Before you call anyone, talk to God, Ask for my last blessings and a restful death.  When you get my house, grab my journal on the bedsitter  Write down that date and say that I didn't make it.  Search for all my journals and burn them, Because the dreaming and planning will be over. Don't call my guy best friend, because honestly that's heartbreak to never recover from. Don't call my mom directly,  Because it will be sorrows to loose her youngest child,  No matter how much I can age,  I am still my mom's youngest child, her little love...

People like us

  This story was inspired by my dearest friend Alizee.  She is a girl of morals and I love that she is full of life regardless of the hell she has been through. Being a bitch and a lover, a sinner and a saint, and most of all, she lived to live not to survive.   Seeing the way she lived I questioned my existence and wondered if she lived like that because her name meant trade wind and she only acted like wind. She was always convinced that she was not like others, not in an extraordinary manner but in a way, she was a person to fight and work twice as hard compared to other people. She believed everything has to be earned, even love. “ People like us”, She said  People like us are never allowed to be wrong and to be anything less than perfect. We are raised that way,  Even as a child, she was not allowed to ask silly questions if it was not for excellent answers or experiences. Growing up, she never saw her mother happy. She believed that at some point, m...

Another Valentine's Day

 And it is another Valentine's day,  Where we are just grateful to be in good health,  And no prospects for intimate relationships.  Alone at night cuddling pillows or at the clubs getting tipsy And yet, we have a phone full of names and numbers,  A gallery full of memories of people we no longer talk to  But forever in love with them.  Where most people have touched our bodies and faces,  But never met our souls and hearts,  And we drew distance to keep it classy,  Since showing emotion reflects weakness.  Another Valentine's day,  Where we are thinking about our next big projects,  Instead of  planning gifts to give to people we care for, Where some of us will only call family to check on how they  are doing and simply wish them  a nice day.  Where we really don't mind an invitation to dinner,  Or alone night in for a deep sleep after a long week, Where we are just on a normal Friday, Thankful th...
