.|But Then|.

Actually a series of smaller poems I've compiled here~ Please enjoy~

Wings of freedom are so easily clipped

A simple frown can end a dream before it’s born

Fear causes many to stumble

But rejection is what really kills

Indecision is painful and confusing

And many never start anything for it

The road is often too long to cross

But no bridge will guide us through

Our footsteps are shrouded in mist

Traps lie about our feet

So that only the brave shall pass

 

Smiling is shameful,

But frowning is hateful;

Tears are disgraceful,

But laughing is painful;

Lying is the only option

Because the truth burns too much.

Lying is like drowning.

Once you breath in,

Life clogs your lungs

And you cease to breath

 

Terror courses through my veins

As lead touches paper.

To write is to admit;

And to admit is to accept.

The only thing holding me back

is my refusal to acknowledge.

All the decay just beneath the surface,

Is something I wish for no one to see.

Tentative steps in any direction

 are the only course I’m willing to take.

I will never ask for your help.

 

Smiling is easy.

To curse is to lie

Forgetting is regretful.

Sometimes, I want to die.

I pull my comforts closer.

As tears fall from my sky.

Loneliness prickles my skin.

I begin to wonder why

I am so unworthy

That I make you cry?

I’ve clipped my on wings.

I can no longer fly.
