You make me emotional,
and you’re not even trying,
That’s water in my eye,
I’m definetely not crying.
.
Sea breezes on my face,
The smell of your hair,
Walking on this sandy beach,
The perfect little pair.
.
Still seeing the worry on your face,
Those eyes full of sorrow,
So I want you to know, baby girl,
I’ll still be here tomorrow.

Why worry about the endless troubles
The opportunities we might miss
Let us forget and move forward
And live this long life in bliss.
Frustration, one thing leads to another
the rage rises with nothing in its path
besides my feeble and swaying will power
soon, I know, the world will witness my wrath
-
“Be happy”, I’m constantly being told
as if this way of life is of my choosing
do you honestly think I’m not trying
or that I’m unaware of what I’m losing
-
I’m sure one day I’ll calm down
when it will come I don’t know
but for now I have more to do
than idly worry about tomorrow.

Broken is not always visible
I have no bruise nor cracked bone
This Broken is invisible
Seen by me alone
I paint on these smiles for all
And ask for but one in return
Cause her happiness heals my scars
And for it, I selfishly yearn.

I used to think my poems were about me,
But now I know I was wrong,
They are actually by and about my other self.
-
This other self is smarter and far more handsome,
He knows exactly what to say to make you happy,
He will never hurt your feelings or even come close.
-
Even now as I or, as a matter of fact, He speaks,
He does not come close to hurting me,
He doesn’t mention that the body he is trapped inside is neither handsome nor smart,
-
He hides his troubles and emotions from me perfectly,
Because he is the Perfect Poet,
And I did not even know it.
