a day and a half

Sometimes a person get so caught up in your own issues that you don't realize there's a whole world out there with millions of people running at a pace much faster than you, in the big ocean of the human race, you are just another branch to the tree.

Today was a busy day, my first of a temporary job, the day included 4 bus rides, 2 train rides and a 2km walk...i haven't done this much activity in months, or should i say a year...i am exhausted!
But tonight i feel good in a weird way...when i walked the last distance from the bus to the apartment, it was pouring with rain and i walked slow with my earphones in, and I took in every drop that fell on me, i felt alive for the first time in months.

Being able to feel alive is the best feeling in the world, and when its accompanied by good deeds done, its even better. I met a girl today, and she made me realize that i should be thankful for what i have and stop complaining.  With her deformed face, she takes every opportunity and turn it into a happy moment.

Its always strange to meet new people, for many months i secluded myself from the outside world, i focused on all the things i went through and still have to go through, but today i actually didn't think of anything in my own life, i was distracted and for once i focused one those around me, and i enjoyed it.

For once i think that maybe, just maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel...maybe there is a healthier way of living...maybe things will work out for the best.

I dont have all the answers tonight, but for now all i have is Hope...

Waking Up

It blows my mind how some days i can be so extremely emotional and down and messed up for no reason at all....and then suddenly something good happens and it feels like the universe is actually on my side in a way...

Last night i struggled to sleep, i was so restless and extremely down.  I was worried, because i had a very important interview ahead...and i desperately wanted the job opportunity! But just nothing made sense, my moods were erratic and unexplained.
When i got into bed all i could pray was : "God i dont know whats wrong with me, but please make me fall asleep soon, so that i can feel better"...and i did fall asleep soon...but at 3 am, i was wide awake and my mind just said : read Bible!

But honestly i thought, who reads Bible at 3am???Not me!! i turned around and tried to sleep as i had to be up very early for the interview .  Needless to say i could not fall sleep!!!

So i got up, got my Bible and opened it .... Psalm 121...

It was all that i needed... needless to say, i got the job!

Thank God

coping

Sometimes I feel like the loneliness---person in the world and I don’t know why, there’s an ample amount of, people who would rescue me in a minute, it’s just that, people are so distant even when their close you can see it in their eyes you can hear it in their voice, their response to you is coherent at best you don’t really have their full attention--an, the, confusion you’re left with makes it more difficult to deal with so you’re left with you’re consumption of  how to handle it and the task is heavy but steadily you move along with what makes you strong and capable to deal within this journey, you take life’s  almost impossible a couple of knocks along the way but ,what do you do?, do you follow through and leave nothing undone or is it just my illusion…

when i dream

When I dream...
I see my inner self
weak and pathetic as my demons
tear me apart piece by piece
ripping out the stitches
that cover the heart
that I have hidden from everyone
The emotions that I have locked up
Leak onto my face as they taunt me
Bringing my darkest fears to life
When I dream...
I see my inner madness
The bloodlust that shines in my eyes
Seeing that sweet, tantalizing terror
brings the sadistic smile to my lips
The metallic tang of crimson
on my finger tips feed the chaos
inside of me
The monster that is a part of me
When I dream...
I'm drowning in my despair
The cold darkness
slipping over my head
Like the dark abyss
swallowing my scream
as the light at the surface
grows dimmer
my voice swallowed by
the ensuing darkness
and I am alone
with all my fears and self hatred
When I dream...
I see how truly unstable my mind is
How this sweet insanity is engulfing me
Eating away at me
Ripping me apart from the inside
This wall around my heart crumbling
with the facade I try to keep on my face
A mask of practiced lies
The mask that shows I'm a fake
It's bleeding through on the edges
like the stain you can never get rid of
Because it is a part of you
the ugly part of you soul
that never dies until your soul fades
And when you have reached your breaking point
You're tortured by your inner demons
lost to your inner madness
You're drowning forever in your despair
An inward scream echoing like a lullaby
inside your mind
As the world is blind
to the insanity behind your silence
Only you can see it in your eyes
mirrors of the sweet insanity that I see

when I dream.....

Used Goods

I have these million emotions bottled up inside me tonight, it seems like everything is messed up, yet its not. i wish i can take out the trash in my mind and live in the now, i would give anything to be okay, to be the person you are proud of, yet i disappoint you time and time again...

This aching feeling in my core can not be stopped, no matter what i try.  Someone said you have to let God in your life, yet how exactly do you do that? how do you comprehend His love? How does one being accept you completely for who you are, when humans cant do that? how does one being love you more than you could ever love yourself?

If He loved me so much, why cant i feel it? Does He really know what i feel, what i want, what i need?? When i don't even understand myself, how can i make sense to God? He hates sin, yet how can He love the sinner? If humans cant accept your sins, how can an almighty God accept them and forgive them?

If i look at the way humans treat each other, i cant help to wonder, where is God? Were was He when i needed Him? Were was he when i was a child? Why did He make a young girl fall pregnant just to give her baby up for adoption? Why did He create me when i was unwanted by my mother and father? What was the use in that?

Why does he allow abuse? Why wasn't He there when i needed Him the most? Why didn't i feel Him in the hardest moments in my life?

If i ever reach heaven , how will i take responsibility for all the things i have done? How do i explain why i took every pill i took, how do i explain why i cut myself to feel better? how do i explain why i inject to feel release? how do i explain the things i have done in my life to escape?
how do i explain when i don't have all the answers?

Why did He give me the mind that always ask "WHY?"

Can God love used-goods? Can He love lost causes? outcasts?

How much pain do i want to go through, before i allow God to love me? How much longer will i self-destruct....question ill ponder on tonight..

nutshell

So i decided tonight to leave all the poems and bullshit and just write about my life...00h51 and im sitting with my earphones in and just thinking about my life...
lets begin with dad,hes my whole life, lately i have been thinking how my reaction would be if he isnt part of my life anymore, im trying to imagine what life would be like without him, and my conclusion is never good, everytime he greets me the past week, i try to remember his last words, when we say goodbye, this intense fear inside of me grows, and im scared beyond reason, that i might not see him again.  2 days ago when i arrived home, i walked in with one hell of an opinion about the way he does things, i said things that i regret today, things that wasnt fair, i worked myself up all the way to the free state, just to explode on him when i arrived...and his only words were..: "i cant believe you said the things you just did" and he walked away. i sometimes wish i could take my words back (like in this case) but then other days i feel, its so rare that i actually speak my mind, that sometimes exploding feels justifying. i did apologies though...i still love him to bits!!!
Mom...so my father told me today that i sound just like my mother, lol i kinda thought that was funny! he said the reason we argue so often, is because we are alike...dont know if i agree on that one.  She works hard, waaaaaaay to hard, she never takes time for herself, its always work or kids, they say thats normal for a mother, but hell i cant imagine myself doing that! Maybe im still selfish in my ways. Despite our huge arguments, i still love her, i have never known someone that would give her everything for her kids, like my mom does, she live for her kids and i dont say thank you enough...(mental note: say thanks to mom)

Parents are at a year end function tonight, which leaves me and my little brother alone at home.

When i say "little" brother, i mean 21 year old brother, but to me he will always stay the little one....the special place he has in my heart is beyond words.  He was there as a small 9 year old , helping me cope.  without him ever knowing what i went through, he was there next to me, whenever my faith was shaking, he hugged me, held me and made me held my head high. he always made me feel that the climb was worth it, despite the struggles i faced. i never knew that those were the moments that would stay in my life forever.  Dont get me wrong, we fight like crazy but we love each other.  Ever since he was small we had a deeper connection, in some ways i felt like "the parent"...he always listened to me , instead of my mother, up till today she would "speak" to him via me.  Sometimes i dont see my self-worth when i think of the role i play in his life.  i remember when he was in primary school, he saw a psychologist once, and he asked my bro the write something about each one in our family, and next to my name he wrote: "she is my life"...if only he knws what he means to me...its small things, like laying on my bed tonight and chatting to me...about random shit, but i appreciate it. the fact that i could ever love someone this much, blows my mind.

Older Bro is a different story, we fight like hell and the one is to proud to apologize and the other to proud to forgive...i guess al i can do is sometimes just TRY...We had this huge fight about two weeks ago, and he was extremely rude and put the phone down in my ear, before i could respond and i cracked up...two weeks later and i still havent spoken to him, so what does he do? what he always does...: phone my dad and complain about me not responding to his messages and what does dad do?? like always phones me and diplomatically adds in the conversation the fact that i dont respond to his messages...and its always the same story..."he just care about you" , "he isnt a person that apologize", "thats just his way of handling things"...
so infact he can act however the hell he wants to towards me and i always need to accept that?? No way...
He had such a big hold over me as a child, that it angers me to hell and back when he does it now. and hes always the golden boy, the first born, the child they waited for , for 9 years...Just typing about hm makes me angry.  And..they wait till im almost home to inform me he is coming home for the weekend as well... so whatever is comfortable for them, despite of how i feel. And thats just wrong in my eyes. Nothing will justify it, yet it happens for the 500th time...should be use to it, but cant.

Sister in Law... I adore her..we were close from the start and still are...we can open up towards one another and give advice...and listen, yet i have to say, i limit my information, as she is married to my older brother...But we still get along very well.

Then theres me...a lost cause in action. i was always high when i felt low, but through out the rehab mess, i had to let go of that part of me...and its hard as hell..i always thought its bullshit when they said in rehab, you must take it day by day...for me its minute for minute...everyday...its praying alot, begging and say thank you after each day...im almost 5 months clean and i have no idea how thats possible, its been the longest in 7 years...right from the start, drugs stole my heart and i was a willing victim, it made parts of me so ugly, but with every touch it fixed me,it fixed parts that i could never speak about...and today i just need a reason, a reason to know its all worth it...feeling this raw open heart beating hurts more than words can describe.
Just a little bit of reason would help a lot. how do i move forward without my crutch? how do i learn to feel pain without a fix? how do i learn to love myself, besides for external factors, i realize more and more each day, that the root of my problem, is me.  they way i think and feel about myself.

Then theres still my relationship with this guy...maybe its a delusion ...maybe its not worth breaking my head over,tonight...its an entry for tomorrow

time doesnt heal

What if when I close my eyes, you slowly disappear?
If memories are traitors, how will I keep you near?
What if time's my enemy and it steals my grief away?
So that I hurt a little less, with every passing day.

What if my perceptions, fade with every passing year,
your blue eyes become less vivid, your voice I strain to hear?
What if I start losing you, evanescent with passage of time?
Your jokes I still remember........... now I forget the punch-line.

They say time makes it easier, platitudes to soothe,
Well let me tell you this, its so far from the truth.
If existence is a time-line,running linear and straight,
every year you're further away, I guess that's what I hate

not nearly enough...

I've been trying to write this poem for days,
 I pick up the pen and it just feels
 lifeless ...
 unlike what lives inside my heart;
Just  how does one 
 begin to speak of hurt
 when the tongue is heavy
 with too many words,
yet not nearly enough?

You always have a choice!

There are times in life
When you look back in time
Things that you fear
Still stays the same
Those times, you want to travel
Back in time
To wipe those tears you’ve left behind
Relive the laughs you’ve been a part of
Do those things to change your future
And that’s the time you snap
To realize thats just a fantasy
But never too late to do the right thing
Things that you want to change for tomorrow
Can be done today
And shape your tomorrow the way you want to
Change it for good or worse
The choice is yours
And believe that you always have a choice
A choice to shine in the light
Or be a coal in the dark.

Dont

Don't count on the sunset,
don't rely on the pain,
the sky will always be darkest,
before there comes the rain

Don't count on the sunrise,
don't rely on the dawn,
there will always be someone,
who remains here to mourn

Don't count on the twilight,
don't rely on my love,
you will find better,
in the embraces above

Don't count on forever,
don't rely on today,
tomorrow is coming,
to wash us away...

view from the top

Its weird how perfectly a day can begin and how horrible it can turn for the bad...its funny how you can move outside your body and view your life from the top.. When i look down, i cant help to wonder how i would ever be able to explain the emotions that run through my body...each day a war against emotions. All the ups and downs like title waves uncontrollable , wanting to reach out to people around you but instead you dissociate deep into your own world and sometimes so deep that you are not sure if you will ever find your way back to yourself.

Sometimes i wish i could pick up the key to my locked up heart or maybe i it would be better if the cracks in my heart becomes wider so that it can breath fresh air and get some sunlight. because how do you put a plaster on heart?

Days like today i silently pray that God could hand me an extra tank of oxygen, to be able to breath slowly resulting rational thoughts. Seems like my days lately are filled with a lot of silent prayers, like helpless ecoes, begging for strenght to hold on just one more day...

How do you stand tall if you doubt yourself?  what do you do when it feels like your core is a mess yet you act like a survivor? if i brake down infront of you, will it all be worth it?

so i decide to keep silent instead and linger in my thought till the end

1000 parts

I could live in a thousand places
and live a thousand lives,
but no matter the many faces
I cannot escape the lies

I could breathe the alpine fog,
maybe taste the salty air?
Though wherever I run to
I am left myself to bear.

I have sprinkled secrets like bread crumbs
and left them lie in my wake
as soon as sun's facade slips
I'm vulnerable for memories to take.

They creep just inside the shadow lands.
The cracks in your mask they seek-
waiting withing the darkest hour,
attacking when you are most weak.

I've tried out many costumes
and played a thousand roles.
Nothing seems to ease the pain
in which history takes its toll.

Myself through the glass

As my mind spirals out of control
Taking every poisoned breath inhaled
I can't seem to let go
Thoughts racing through my blood as if this is the ultimate race
No time to stop
No breaks in between
Already broken at the seam
Having no sense of direction
Full of blind expectation
Wanting more but accepting less
My hands are too small to hold
These images my eyes want to unfold
Only tears capable of dripping through
Coloring my heart not red but blue
Blue and frozen from the fear of tomorrow
Hoping that there will be no more sorrow
But my eyes cannot hide
The pain left inside
From yesterday's memory
Leaving me to believe there is more to my story
Because there is...
