Dear Love

 June 2nd
...See more Dear love You was always in my heart No can take your place do you feel the same  Even now that we are apart Do I see the pain through your face I believe we could've been something  But you love someone else  Dear love Why did you go I was ready to commit   But you already left Now I'm in the dark thinking  Dear love I hope you find the right guy  I believe you knew was right  But dear love That man ain't me he a stranger to love He have side chick all around but you dig that  But aye I don't judge I just don't respect it So dear love be careful  Cause something just might slip

Alone

...See more ALONE Four walls No doors No windows It just me and only me  Outside these walls it's just a society that means the world to someone  To everyone it a friend  But to me it is an enemy  It me against the world Everyday I have to face life that I am alone  I was lied too my whole life I don't know who I am anymore I look in the mirror and i wanna start a change but soon I close my eyes....it goes away Like butterfly first time flying from its cocoon or a baby bird leaving the nest  They said we all have to grow up and become something that we want to be  I failed many times and I still don't know what success mean to me  I am up but was this a nightmare or dream? Everyone has a family....but not me  Everyone has a story to tell that has a happy ending....but not me I'm never selfish  I always put everyone before me but when I need someone will they be there for me....I doubt it  God my father cause frankly the doctor can't tell me who made me  My mother is a drug addict  I could've been blind I couldn't even breathe  I was on machine for weeks but god save me  My Life is a story that you can cry, laugh and motivate you to do better I am adopted and hard cruel world My mother left me at the hospital  I call myself a miracle because that who i truly am I don't let my feet fail I believe i can make a change  I know i can be judge I know people don't like me I can be your muscle  I can be your warrior   Stand up Believe in yourself  Don't give up Look into my heart I trust you  This is your moment  This is your chance  To tell the world  That you are... SOMEBODY  As I believe in you i hope you believe in me What else can I say  Nothing when I'm speechless  I give you my all but at the end of the day it mean.....NOTHING  But once I go out there to world I have to face many obstacles  Many fights Many lies  Many heartbroken  I could be in jail  I could be on the street  But I made a difference to...Believe in me  I am the first to goto college  Especially in my real family   The world looks at me like he is....special  He is a leader  I say thank you to all cause even though I am alone  I know God got me all the way

Deep Thoughts

...See more Deep Thoughts What’s going on through you mind Can’t sleep at night Can’t think right Can’t vision nothing that’s insight You look at the future like it the key to success but it what you do now to pass every test You wanna give up and just say *** it You wanna start your career but haven’t learn nothing You wanna do what best but you haven’t seen the worst that’s coming You never failed in your life but now everything is hitting you fast like a bullet You felt the impact to your heart now everything has shattered into a million pieces Life can be dream but in reality you’re trying to make it a mission You want to succeed but you not giving a 100 percent You love to be happy but you down with everything that’s with negativity This is what you think of when your by yourself looking in the mirror or in class day dreaming You want things that can be so perfect but what in front of you it will never happen your deep thought is clouding your mind like a thunderstorm waiting to happen and once you let it all out you release so much energy and you start to become weak in your knees and you found peace and move on to what you really believe.

My silent habit
Depression Support / by ChicagoanLightskin

 June 3rd
...See more I am adopted and I am an only child. The only way I know how protect my peace is by being silent. I don’t know how to express myself when I am upset because I didn’t have no one to vent to so I keep things bottled up until I am calm and at peace again. I want to learn how to express myself especially if something is bothering me but I keep going back to my old habit cause it works for me but it not working for my relationship with my significant other. I know this is a bad habit I have and I want to learn how to fix it and what better ways I can do by expressing my self more
