Drowning

I’m fighting voices in my mind

Grabbing unto hope that begun to unwind

Walls broke down to remind me of my mistakes

Secrets pouring out with each move I make

Consequences were there but I ignored it

Now I’m knee deep, impossible to quit

Paying the price was never really simple

Should have thought of that before plunging in the middle

To be fair I’m not perfect I doubt I ever will be

 But I tried to be selfless, someone to help when you’re lost at sea

You got out okay, stronger, revived

While I took the risk of drowning to keep you alive

WHAT IS FOREVER?

Is forever another promise

That’s gonna be broken?

Is forever another chapter

That’ll go unknown?

Is forever another song

That’s never been sung?

Is forever gonna last

Or is forever all gone?

Is forever actually there,

 Or is it a dream?

Forever’s not eternity,

 Cause even that’s not real

Is forever a hope

That’s meant to be shattered?

Is forever gonna happen,

Is forever happily ever after?

Stolen glances

Secret keeping

Lost chances

Hidden feelings

Random interest

Certain requests

Perfect together

Chasing forever

Losing patience

Leads to frustration

Unnecessary fights

Lonely nights

Awkward conversations

Crazy temptations

Unexpected battles

Awful truth unravels

Ties are broken

Words unspoken

Becomes broken hearted

It goes back to how it all started

Stolen glances

Secret keeping

Lost chances

Hidden feelings

BETRAYAL

I’ve crumbled, I’ve died

Was in pain but still tried

I’m beaten, been broken

New wounds were open

Been famished, been lost

Was stabbed, my life at cost

Been bruised, been down

Searching for help all around

Then it appeared, a light on a cloudy day

Tried to grab hold before it fade away

That’s when it happened, my ray of sunshine burnt me

Not accidental, it seemed to enjoy it with great glee

Seeking raindrops

Hoping to find the rainbow

Until it stops

Realization hits with a hard throw

Take charge of dreams

Hoping it won’t become nightmares

Still shadows take over by all means

I wake up gasping for air

Keep following things that’s supposed to turn out great

Until it all blows up, like happiness isn’t a part of my fate

It’s like chasing eternity

Until confirming there really isn’t any

DADDY

You’ve always had my back,

Holding me up when the enemy tries to attack

You catch me when I’m falling

And help me to rise again

You love me no matter where I’ve been and what I’ve done

Even when I know I’ve failed, you always make me feel like I’ve won

You’re my light when there’s darkness all around

I know that I’m going to be safe and sound

Daddy you’re hardworking, affectionate and kind

A love like yours is rare, very hard to find

When the entire world is against me I know I could turn to you

You dust away the pain of yesterday, making me feel brand new

So many times I’ve come short

You however still hold me closely to your heart

Daddy your love can’t be compared to none

You truly are a million in one
