They think they're better than the rest smarter, more mature, and stronger too  but in reality when they're put to the test they are the easiest people to see through They live in a bubble, a blissful ignorance in their minds, they can make no mistakes and there's no limit to their arrogance they'll get their way, no matter what it takes They always put themselves first  and be the first to call another person weak their way of quenching that hurtful thirst is by placing themselves on that peak There's no reasoning with them, not at all in their eyes, everyone else is beneath them they'll do anything to make others feel small like demean, humiliate, hurt and condemn  If only they could see the error in their hearts and understand the severity of what they inflict but they don't, even if they tear someone apart only their opinion matters, even if others contradict They're so blinded by their egos and selfish ways they think they're invincible and ...

Taking a step back can open our eyes  To a greater world of truth and lies  It gives us time to observe and reminisce And provides perspective we'd sometimes miss  From situations and people we already know  Things become clearer than they were before Our opinions and feelings can instantly change Even those we love, can seem distant and strange Re-evaluation is sometimes a step we need to take  Of friendships, work and other choices we make When we step back, we see all the irregularity  And more enough reason to make ourselves a priority  Some will understand and some will ignore But it's a fact of life that people come and go Reflection shows reasons why some get to stay  And opens our eyes to why we should pull away So start with yourself, it's the only way forward  Sort out your problems before you move onward  Disregard the blood, sweat and tears you spill  Cos if you don't invest in yourself, nobody else will 

There you are, a distant memory  A ghost that continues to haunt me Just a reminder of the love I feel Another chapter in a story surreal I've trusted my heart, I have no regrets And You were as real as real could get All I wanted was to love you and be true  Because I always saw the real you  I saw the pain and the darkness within And the shadows you've tried to hide them in  I've seen the truth, I've seen your heart And I've known you right from the start  I understand why I wasn't right  And I know why you weren't willing to fight The fault is mine, and mine alone And that's why I, am still on my own I guess there just wasn't meant to be A future for the likes of you and me Not romantically, but maybe as friends  And yet if you need me, I'll be there till the end  Will I hold it against you? no I won't  Do I regret anything? No I don't  The heart wants what the heart wants  And it's my heart that you will always haunt  In th...

Who is good for us and who isn't? Who improves us and who doesn't? It's up to us to choose, though it is tough  Who we want by our sides, when life gets rough  Friendships are a dime a dozen, that's a fact  And everyone claims that they have your back As we get older, everything changes  Even best friends, can end up strangers  But it's up to us, it's our call to make Even if the decision is or ends up a mistake  And though looking out for ourselves is a must It is important to know who we can trust  Because we all fester about who will be there, And sometimes we're blind to people who really care  Communication is another essential  Because a lack of it, can be a defining differential  We can a do lot by just reaching out to each other  And resolve any issues we have with one another  If we accept our faults, we can progress more  As human beings we have to, in order to grow  It’s easy to blame others for our shortco...

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...

And so it began, one dark and stormy night Lost and drowning in an ocean of thought With pen and paper in hand, I began to write Not knowing at all the outcome I sought. With Rolling thunder and a flickering candle And a heart full of sorrow and pain I penned all the thoughts that I couldn't handle As I sat staring at the pouring rain "Memoirs of a Burdened Heart" the first title I chose Inadvertently opening an unimaginable door Looking back, I'm glad that door didn’t close I never imagined myself a writer, all those years ago. A hobby born from a pain filled heart Is now a livelihood that I'll never give up From a time I didn't know where to start To a point where now, I never want to stop So I found my passion in very trying time A place where I can open the floodgates In poetry I found a love of words and rhyme  And this became my Twisted Fate
