Invisible

There’s always one in the room A person you just don’t see One that always goes unnoticed And not because aesthetics don’t agree There’s always one, who feels inferior   One who’s always had it rough From the way they look to how they speak They feel they’ve never been enough There’s always one, who is unhappy One who always hides behind a façade Who tries hard to make a difference But nobody sees or knows to applaud There’s always one, blinded their past One who sees only weakness Blinded to the strength within them By life’s unrelenting bleakness There’s always one, feeling unworthy Of success, happiness, and love Looking enviously of those lucky few Like they’ve been blessed from above There's always one, c arrying the weight of the world One who gladly took the blame Never thinking twice about taking a hit Or wanting anyone to do the same There’s always one, who doesn’t believe in themself One who feels happiness ...

Unrequited

Unrequited love is the worst kind of pain It hurts so much it can drive us all insane Nothing blinds more than one’s own heart Especially when the battle is lost from the start It's almost crippling and it always ends in sorrow You're just a victim of Cupids misguided arrow Falling in love shouldn’t ever be regretted Even when it’s someone you never expected It's like they don't see you for who you are But when you open up its like they don't care The heart wants what it wants and that’s okay Some just aren’t going to feel the same way It's just something that was never meant to be No matter how right it felt, they just can’t see They just don’t feel the same as you feel Even if in your heart it all felt so real You end up on the sidelines with nothing to show And become just another person that they ignore That’s just how life goes; you can’t force its hand Sometimes things just don’t go as planned To those who’ve been there, don’t...

Thankful

As we all battle through the darkest of days Let’s all be thankful for the ones who stayed Because at your side there will be a few Who will hold your hand and guide you through Shoulders to cry on when you’re at your worst Friends you can lean on that you didn’t see at first People who understand and will always be there Reminding you of love when you feel nobody cares Isolation can take a toll, it’s relentless and unkind It plays on our weaknesses and leaves us blind We aren’t the only ones enduring its darkness Sometimes it’s hard to fathom its harshness It makes us feel lonely though we aren’t really alone And it provided a loyalty we have seldom known So let’s be thankful for those who kept us all sane And get past the  darkness and be together again

All I wanted

All I ever wanted was to be with you To be your first good morning And your last good night To be the one who was always there At your side through thick and thin To be a shoulder you can lean on And to make you laugh and smile I wanted to feel your hand in mine As we walked beneath moonlit skies I wanted to sit with you in the sand And watch the sunset into the sea I wanted to hold you in my arms And run my fingers through your hair I wanted to feel your warm embrace And hug as you fall asleep on my chest I wanted to listen to all your stories And hear all about your day I wanted to take away all your fears And be your knight in shining armour I wanted to be your best friend And to love you unconditionally I wanted us to be together forever To live our lives side by side And be partners in everything we do But this was not to be, And I had to face the truth My love for you was wasted, Because you didn't feel the same I still want...

Window Shopper

Life is sometimes really unfair Showing us things that really aren’t there It’s like reading a cover of a book Sometimes all we can do is look We never know what it’s like inside And it’s not up to us to decide Fate has already made up its mind That life is going to be unkind It always shows us what we can’t possess How we get around it is anyone’s guess We see people living extravagant lives And we can only envy as they thrive Like a child wanting an expensive toy But it’s another unattainable joy We see love and envy romance In our hearts we would kill for a chance But sometimes it’s just not meant to be Or at least we feel like we may never see That fairy tale ending we want real bad And we live on, still alone and sad It’s all so close and yet so far We feel it’s part of who we are Like you’re that character in the story Who tries so hard but finds no glory Like a window shopper in the rain all wet Wanting something, we can never...

Me

Intimidating, sad, unhappy and moody scary, a loner, depressing and broody melancholy, angry, stupid and lazy a doormat, unlucky, fat, slow and ugly On the flip side, gentle, charming and funny a real nice guy, stoic, warm and fuzzy an em-path, a listener and a loving friend a teddy bear, caring and loyal till the end Now, before you cringe at the words you see these are words people use to describe me It's like I'm two people, polar opposites at that but there is only one of me and that's a fact Most times now people only see me frown because of heavy thoughts that weigh me down people think I'm scary and don't really approach and some think my heart is too easy to poach Some people think  I'm obsessed with my past that I let it control me and that I'm being daft it's funny to me how things can be assumed but I guess I cant let myself get consumed See, I've made mistakes like anyone would and I've paid my dues l...

Unnoticed

How do you find what you seek, if you feel but never speak? how could anyone really know, if you never let your feelings show? Life is all about taking chances more than words and a few glances if we don't try then what's the point? not doing anything will only disappoint We have to push ourselves to try things who knows what joy it may bring? not knowing is part of life's beauty even if it exposes the worlds cruelty Forget the stories your history has told, who knows what the future will hold? while life may not always go your way you'll meet interesting folks along the way Weighing pros and cons does take a toll and we must let go of what the world stole It's time we just enjoy our front row seats because there's no telling who we'll meet Nothing comes easy, we must take risks it's the only way to know why we exist stay in the shadows and you wont be missed so take that leap and don go unnoticed 

Introverts

Alone on purpose, and broken inside strong on the surface silently wiping tears aside Lost,lonely minds, protected by walls crowds are unkind yet still standing tall There's nothing to show, no words are spoken but behind closed doors the silence is broken The over-thinkers curse, thoughts in multitude and to make it worse there's solace in solitude Words with pen on paper, flowing smooth and true no foul, no harm, no caper just honest to a few Conversations are seldom, mainly with the closest around only a handful are welcome because trust isn't easily found To wounds of sticks and stones, the introvert never succumbed whether in public or alone always comfortably numb

In your lying eyes

I see you, who you really are I see the pain beneath the scars I see the fear locked in your heart A fear of love, tearing you apart Inside you want that companionship That someone who'll never abandon ship But you're afraid to open your mind Cos in the the past, someone was unkind Yet I see it, the love you so desperately hide I see the cravings you have locked inside But it's not my place to tell you how to live Nor is it anyone else's advice to give But I see it all, hidden deep inside you I see through you, cos I've been there too And that strong face that the world sees May fool many, but you'll never fool me Cos I see the loneliness in the tears you don't cry And I see it all, in your lying eyes 

The Long Walk

Broken inside, haunted and alone Walking through life, all on his own  All his losses, his heart still mourns Tears in his eyes, cos of chances blown  With no real direction, he wanders on Walking through roses, but covered in thorns  Thinking of his purpose, why he was born And why it's always his heart that ends up torn  The road winds long with much in his way  His desolate heart wanders without much to say  Fighting for his sanity with each passing day  Hoping the next person he meets might actually stay His mind clouded, pondering what went wrong  Looking for reasons for him to remain strong  Pushing through hurdles on his journey long Growing tired and weary of the same old song Weak and broken, the predators begin to stalk Like a fish in the water through eyes of a hawk  All he wants in life is an ear to hear him talk Hopefully he will find it, and end his long walk 

Somewhere out there

I don’t know who you are, Or if you’re near or far I don’t know if you even exist Or whether or not I will persist I wonder who you could be or why you'd ever choose me Will I really be the only one you need? Regardless of my caste or creed? I’ve searched for you a long, long time Longer than I’ve been writing rhyme If I meet you, will you truly be the one?  And will my search be finally done? But what if I have already met you?  And you were just passing through Or maybe we were never meant to meet And I’m in denial and cant take defeat Even if it feels like something’s amiss I guess that’s just how life really is I wonder who this will all end up with? Or if I should accept that 'the one' is a myth And whether or not I accept that life's not fair I'll always wonder if you’re somewhere out there

Empathy

We always look for that common ground People who can relate to us are seldom found We all crave the same like-minded companionship The kind that feels like more than a normal friendship We always look for that truly understanding heart People who know what we’ve been through before we start That one person we enjoy talking to, someone who listens One who you can laugh and cry with, without inhibition It’s rare that we actually find someone who gets everything And when we do find them, we’re quick to let them in We open up hearts to them without holding anything back And just by being there, they help us get our lives back on track We trust them completely and they become our best friends And we hope that they won’t break that trust till the very end We all need that one person, that one confidant in our life The ones who will never leave us, even when we endure strife They are the ones we turn to when things go completely wrong Through the h...

One Day

One day I’ll get things right And only then will I give up the fight One day everything will work out  And I’ll finally know what life is all about One day I’ll be back on my feet And I’ll move forward without retreat One day I will make all the rules And I will no longer be judged or called a fool One day the tears will stop falling And I’ll stand up instead of crawling One day I’ll be able to stand strong And make right all I ever did wrong One day I‘ll be back on top of my game And I won’t have to hang my head in shame One day I just might meet someone again And she will free my heart from these lonely chains One day I’ll earn back the respect and trust I lost I’ll get through the hard times no matter the cost One day the whole world will hear me say That I made it to the top, and I did it my way

Pain

We’ve all felt those god awful feelings The kind that hurt so bad they leave us reeling Some people will never understand the pain Or how it slowly but surely drives us insane Depression is a brutal killing machine It’s felt by millions, though it’s rarely seen Most suffer in silence and bottle it all inside And it feels like there’s no bright side It has no remorse, the merciless pain it brings No matter what it stems from, it’s unforgiving Some claim that being emotional is a cry for attention But those people don’t realize that it’s not the intention There’s no way to measure how much pain one endures And nobody has the right to judge that pain, that’s for sure People can be vicious and insufferably remorseless fools And to ridicule someone who suffers, is just plain cruel Imagine the difference we help could make in someone’s heart If we had just listened to them and been there from the start We could save countless lives if we could ju...

The Beast

He had everything any man could need Just like the arrogant Prince in that fairy tale story Day by day he lived it up and his ego would feed Never realizing he himself would undo his on glory And just like that, one day he lost it all His life and riches gone and his heart broken Upon his knees he watched his kingdom fall His tears describing words unspoken Now all alone and his past a distant memory The life he knew slipped through his fingers Locked in his lonely tower for what seems like a century His appearance changed, like a beast he lingers The scars he bares from self-inflicted wounds Watching the world go by from his own personal hell Hoping that one day he will no longer be marooned and like the Beast in the story, he too will be saved by a Belle

Valentine's Day

They say it's a day for celebrating love in its purest form, and the courtships blooming all around is the norm being in love is a wonderful thing, it's a beautiful feeling it's so powerful that either extreme will have you reeling Valentine's day, a commercial buffet of chocolate and flowers cards, dinner for two and romance sprouting all over for hours candles and hearts decorate the entire world, specials all around couples holding hands and gazing into each others eyes so profound But then, there are those who don't get to celebrate love people who always get hurt when push comes to shove the ones left nursing broken hearts everywhere all alone feeling the extreme of love, they wish they'd never known There are some who feel that love escapes them looking on in envy of every couple they see before them there are those who've never experienced love at all they look on and wonder what it might be like to fall Love should be felt and ce...

The Crush

Have you ever liked that one particular person? The one that everyone says is wrong for you, But despite it all in your heart, they're perfect, That one person, that you wanna talk to all the time, About pretty much everything, cos they're out of the box And because they can relate, you instantly feel that connection? The one you didn't expect to ever reply to your simple 'hello'? The one that unexpectedly stole your heart, ? With that captivating smile or that cheeky smirk, They become the first and last person you think about everyday, A glance at a night club or a picture on social media, And your heart and mind are in a tail spin, And when its time to actually speak to them, Your tongue gets tied in a knot and the words don't come out right, Even the message tone on your phone gets you excited, The one that makes you feel like anything is possible, Like you can endure anything, And the one you would do anything for, But when they sudde...

Taken for granted

It's a given that in life, people always come and go, some stay forever, others for just a moment or so, Either we don't understand or see their full potential And at the time, we're closed to their credentials There are people who genuinely open their hearts And with certain people, we don't know where to start we just assume that they'll always be there for us through thick and thin without putting up a fuss But the sad fact is after that initial seed is planted these are the same people, that we take for granted we don't realise they may not be around too long at all and when we reach for them, we'll most likely fall Fact is, sometimes we need that support in our lives especially as we get older and it gets difficult to survive we make harsh decisions and leave good people without a word they've moved on, and you haven't even heard Some just text and ask ' hey, how was your day?' or 'wanna catch up for a drink or dinner someday?' w...

Than to have never loved at all..

Some would say, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, Some would argue that one is lucky to have their heart broken rather than never knowing what its like to fall And holding on to the end of that burning rope, while hanging on to every inch of sanity Sometimes it ends up helping you overcome a certain level of obscene vanity Some question 'What is love?'  what does it actually mean? To some, love is the reason the sun shines after rain It's an addiction, a craving one just has to give in to even if the injection causes excruciating pain It is light and darkness at the same time, it's motivation it has the power to cure as well as kill, But while two people are together in the depths of love, it's nothing short of a phenomenal thrill And to never know the feeling or to never fall in love? everyone deserves it, even those who are wicked It is more powerful than any weapon, it'll bring to you to your k...

Nice guys finish last

Everyone wants to be the good guy or the hero, although sometimes it might not be right, sometimes its being the one nobody cares about, the one who everyone steps on and uses at work, the one who never has good luck with relationships the one who is always the third wheel, the chaperon, the one who hold's the door open for everyone the one who sometimes feels being alone, is best  seldom does being the good guy actually mean anything he's the guy that sits at the bar all by his lonesome, the broody one, who his friends always complain about but no one approaches because he looks like an outcast the shy one who doesn't know what to say to the girl he likes the one who loses out to the guy with deep pockets, good looks, broad shoulders and a six pack the one who walks away and disappears without a trace the one who gets left behind, because he doesn't play politics he's the honest one and oddly the lonely one, the recluse, whose bes...
