farewell, first love, how i feel,
Transitioning to a state of indifference to you
Fading out of desperation
Something in me has been reawakened
That I had thought long snuffed out
She makes me feel something other than guilty
Takes me away from overthinking
So forgive me, if my smiles no longer necessitate
Thinking of you

"Block"
Diluting your mind with empty thoughts
It's buried in you
You haven't forgot
Reach deep within and pull it out
There is magic inside
Without a doubt
Your words are powerful
Speaking in rhyme
Has it’s own pace
It takes it's time
Think too hard and you will see
Overthinking will bring more difficulty
Stuck in a block
Trying to escape
This becomes the mind's rape
Take it easy day by day
You have plenty of beautiful words to say

Laughter.
Laughter is a gift through all who perceive in it's presence. ????????
Laughter is both contagious and healing. ????????
One of natures highs you must appreciate simply because they're some of the best times you'll ever have. ?????
Laughing with friends and loved ones or even strangers. For laughter can even appear like someone you've just met. But you are so welcome to it as if you've known them your whole life. ??????
Laughter is good for your soul. ??
As long as it's all in good fun. ????(finger guns)

girlfriend, i love you,
My love language, filled beyond the brim,
for she never quite tires out from the feels,
timeously, the heart pieces are put together,
glad I am, to have decided against him.
Oftentimes, overthinking seems to linger,
shivers of uncertainty attempt to interfere,
yet when her warmth comes by the hour,
It's nothing, but sweet nothings to my ear.
Sugary sweet are the lips that speak,
my heart jubilates from pure intimacy.
We cuddle our past experiences to rest,
for our rare union, has reached its peak.

absence, america, anger, break up, dream, first love, heartbreak,
The echos of my heartbeat are rising
Whenever I welcomed your presence
Sadly,
I have to live on this empty side of my bed
No sounds, Yet the emptiness is killing me
The silence of your absence
It gets me overthinking
About what I have lost
The huge hole inside my heart
What an incomplete heart without you
You've stolen a piece of me
You carried away without asking me
What it will be?
Living without you is - Unimaginable
The silence won't help to heal
My wounded heart
I lost myself in this silence...

appreciation, dedication, grandmother, lost love,
A soldier of a grandmother,
unconditional with the love.
Wrapped in ribbons of security,
rules and prophecies.
Reprimanded and then served treats,
moments kept deep within the heart
set to beat.
When days were sour,
the sweetness of words meant to soften the pain,
melts,
for good company loves sympathy.
A blanket to help rest the overthinking,
reassurance served to keep me breathing,
neglecting fear until it comes at another hour.
I'm a daughter's daughter
the treatment of a Princess,
nothing will ever come close
to this.

confusion, feelings, for him, friend, love, missing, stress,
Feelings are truly hard to find
As the Lion says
It sometimes hurts being
With him
When I'm
Missing him
Been friends for a
Long time now
Can you see the lines?
Cause they're not
Getting any clearer now
Overthinking it now
Overcomplicating it now
Thought I got better
At reading the signs
Guess not
Does it feel enough
Is it enough
Late night movie nights
Fighting to see the sunlight
Am I willing to cross it
Now?
Are you?
Feeling everything and
Nothing now
I don't know where we are
Where are we?

hurt,
What am I to him
Does he truly love me
Does this man that I call my man
Really care?
Is he truly faithful and loyal to me
As I am to him?
My brain goes into overload
Overthinking
Its more than difficult to decipher my gut intuition and overanalization
Im so tired of being tired of being hurt
My fault is I love and feel deep
I wish that I could be cold
Therefore there would be no feelings to get hurt
I know I have the ability to be numb and indifferent
Ive done it before many a time
I know Im capable of doing it again
But my heart wont let me
And my mind is yelling 'shut that off'
Feeling alone
Don't know what to do or how to feel.....

best friend, dark, depression, feelings, friendship love, sad, solitude,
Oh friend, please talk to me.
Share the burden, just walk with me.
Stop telling me you're fine,
Don't say you're just overthinking.
Overthinking is sinking.
I know, cos I've been there.
Drowning in my twisted thoughts,
A hundred times over.
Pressures on my mind,
Driving me to a manifestation of pain.
Wanting to puncture my heart,
To let it bleed out.
Please my friend, I'm here.
I've been alone a long, long time.
Don't wanna lose the one person
Who's worth living for.

angst, break up, cry, heartbroken, loss, love hurts, sad,
I message you “hi!”
You message back,
saying “what do you want”.
I just tell you,
“I love you!”
You say “lyt”,
and I start overthinking,
as I go to bed.
I message you when I wake,
saying “morning love!”
and shut my screen,
waiting for your reply.
Little do I know, I never get one,
because after I hit send,
it said “Message not sent”.
I try again, it says it again.
I realize there’s no point,
in trying to message again.

anxiety, love, trust,
Why can’t I just be honest?
Why is it so hard to tell you?
I’m more terrified of rejection
Then being left in the dark.
Why am I having trouble
To trust you and your intentions?
Am I getting too paranoid
Or should I trust my gut this time?
Cause when I mess up with you
I always keep blaming myself.
Whenever I think there’s problems
I always think I’m the one in trouble
Your reassurance is what I thought I needed
But I’m relying on your approval too much.
The dynamic in our relationship
Outweighs the balance on a scale
I’m not sure how this relationship will end
If it keeps moving like this, it’s gonna crash
And I’m tired of being left in the smoke

emotions, feelings, love,
My body knew I’d stopped loving you before my head and heart
You see the head sees logic and the heart love.
But the body, well, the body feels.
Love can be blind and your head overthinking.
But feeling is energy and yours is deadly. Deadly silence and deadly actions.
My body knows how to protect and it’s telling me to
stay away
from you.
