Poem: I'm Living My Truth Without Your Lies

You think you know it all
You think you know me
But if I tell you the truth you would stop and stall
If you open your eyes then maybe you would see
That I'm not longer going to
Play your games
Pretend that to me you're being true
When really you have 101 different love flames
You maybe 'Mr Perfect'
But really you're 'Mr Disrespect'

You haven't got the right to say to me
Who I should be
When you have me confused with 'Miss Last Night'
It's too late for you to protest, to put up a fight
You lost that right
When you didn't pick up last night
I told you from the beginning
You thought you were winning, when all you were doing was sinning

No one will and has ever made a fool out of me
From now I'm living my truth without your lies
I'm walking out, and I won't be coming back, you'll see
There won't be anymore tears from these eyes

I'm stronger now that I've woken up to see who you really are
You just another Mr Want It All with a sports car
I'm no longer going to be 'Miss Day Time'
While you sneak off to see 'Miss Night Time'
You my think you know everything
But in reality you know nothing

Poem: Too Good To Be True

When everything goes wrong
You’re always the outsider
The one no one believes
Maybe I should have realised
The friendship we had was,
Too good to be true

When they all come running
I’ll always remember
When I became the outsider
The time I should have realised
The friendship we had was,
Too good to be true.

Now I know
Never forgotten
The outsider I will always be
I have realised
The friendship we had was
Too good to be true

Poem: Sorry For Breaking It To You This Way

I never asked to fall in love
I’d already given up
Don’t need an angel from above
I’m all out of luck
I’m not willing to try
It will only be a waste of time
Sorry if it’s not what you what you want to hear
But I just don’t want you near
I’m sorry for breaking it to you in this way
But there wasn’t anything else for me to say
There’s not much either of us could do
I just don’t love you

What do you think of this one?

Poem: My Shadows

Hidden from view
Dismissed from your thoughts
Capable of living on my own
Fought through most of it
The rest I will go alone

Living in the shadows
Maybe I don’t belong anywhere
I’ll take another lie
But all I can see is what is beneath the words
Unable to be the one you trust

I thought everything was fine
But now I see I was just taking another lie
Every word loses the true meaning
Just disappear into the shadows
Away from this cloud of confusion

What do you think,

Poem: Love Is Overrated

Love is overrated
In the end it’s only your feelings that will be obliterated
My feelings are left stranded at the door
Yet I’m still left wanting more
I can’t get it into my head
That what we had began and ended in your bed
You’re turning me into a whore
Because our love is becoming a chore
I might well be poor
It was your love that I needed to make me rich
Go ahead, keep cursing my name
We both know that won’t make me your bitch
Sleeping around is how you got your fame
But somehow I got it into my head that your soul I would be able to tame
I’m working day and night
To reach a new height
Each day the bar is raised
All I’m asking for is some praise
I need a wish, I’m on my knees ready to prey
Hoping that tomorrow will be my day

Poem: I’m Glad We’re Through

Your love is like a fire
Once it was burning and strong, built to last
Now it’s dying, dwindling in its ashes
All I want is for a way to blow the smoke away
A brand new start
Is that too much to ask for?

You send crazy thoughts through my mind
Someone I once needed so much
Turned into someone I can’t even trust
As the words tumble from your mouth
I’ve leant to let them just slip passed

I deserve more
You’ve left my heart shattered on the floor
I believed in you
But there wasn’t anything you could do
One thought in your mind,
It wasn’t love
Now all is said and done,
It’s just the memories left behind

I’m not tied to you
You’re a closed door
I’ve found someone who gives me more
And now I’m happy to say I’m glad we’re through

Poem: I Can Always Live With The Memories

We are done
But let’s not be forgetting
All the memories
And the making of the melodies
We’ve had our fair share of
Arguments, fighting and fussing
You take a step forward
But I’m quite happy staying back here in the past

I might be blind
But baby understand
I’m willing to let you go
If you let me stay here
With all of our memories
I might sit up all night
But it’s not the daily fights that stay on my mind

Remember how we used to be
But I guess the world just got in the way
Every day you had to work really late
Each night I was willing to wait
Don’t tell me you were just chillin’ with your mates

See where we end
It’s just like where we began
Remember the days when I made your world go round
It’s hard to watch you go
But I can always live with the memories

Poem - I wish I knew

I'm standing on this rooftop
Trying to figure out how I can stop,
People having to stop dreaming,
People having to stop believing
How can I make a difference
How can I help those suffering in silence
What about those losing a loved one
What about those who have died before their life even begun
I see so many smiles that are disappearing
So many hateful words I keep hearing
What about those fighting for everyone
What about those without anyone
Fathers, Mothers,
Sisters, Brothers
Families torn apart
What do we do for those who can't have a fresh start
How about those with people in the sky
What about those who didn't have the chance to say goodbye

What do we do when praying isn't enough
What do we do when it all gets too tough
What do we do?

...I wish I knew...
