What Does It Mean To Be Happy?
What does it mean to be happy? It gets old, you know. Trying to fill voids with materialistic things. Or constantly surrounding yourself around people who “make you happy”. Maybe you abuse substances to give you the illusion you’re on a high. Or you’re who we are all striving to be; you’re truly happy. What does it mean to be happy? One would say to be filled with hope for tomorrow. To be satisfied or content. If we’re being honest, happiness is different among us all. I’m happiest when there’s no smile on my face.

Do I Love Him?… I think
He asked me what am I afraid of. I responded, “you”. He was confused because in his head he’s done everything right to allow me to be his muse. He didn’t understand my jadedness.

Naked pt. 1
They think they know me But I guess that’s my fault for starting to publish writings that align with my thoughts They think they know me Because I speak from my perspective As if I haven’t been writing scripts since I was a jit to let people into the realities of others’ pain Because when you’re that distant from the
She Was Promiscuous Not A Whore
They say I’m a whore, I’m at risk, I’m angry, crazy, and many other negative things. No one stops to look at me and tell me I’m anything different. So I adopt the beliefs and start to believe the same thing. I’m not worth saving. Only worth being shunned and talked about. Made to believe my beauty comes from how
Safe Love
The comfort that comes with you keeps me here, The fact I’m familiar with our routine And rather I’m pleased or not I know you’ll be waiting for me You’ll hold my hand and pray with me And Know all the little things there is to know about me I’ll get the gifts and words of affirmation The look from
