A smile stretches your face

And extends your lifespan

A frown also hides behind your smile

Uncertain of which emotion to feel at what time

Is now good?

Is later better?

You can't pick and choose what emotion(s) to feel at what time

They are instinctual

And individual

A Shadow Of A Smile (21 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Expressionless when in the counselor's office

Other kids happily plan out their futures

But me

I could care less

Won't plan for uncertainties

I'm thankful for each day that I don't die

All my life I've seemed to be obsessed with death

My death to be exact

Can't give anyone a valid reason as to why

Think of it as a birthright

Given when I entered the world of the living

It's not something I can manually turn on and off

I wish it were so easy

I've wished for it to be so easy

But

It's not

It Ain't Easy (16 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Open mouth full of blood

Closed door involuntarily neglects

Mother drags a fetus by the neck

The voiceless can't call out for help

Dead children are seen like roadkill

Unrecognizable

The inner spirit of a parent will endlessly search and try to find their child

As they remember them best

Alive

It's hard to accept our own mortality

Let alone the fragility of life in those we hold closest to us

We'd rather not come into contact with death at all

It'd be better as a surprise

Let us think that we're immortal

Don't give such inspiration

Such motivation

Our lives will be on the line continually

The world will ask us to rest in peace

Whilst we struggle to live in peace

With our anxieties

Looming Over Us (15 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Will do anything for you any time of the day

No matter the time or date we'll always be soulmates

A hero to many

Let me tie on your cape

Amazed the weight of your world doesn't break you

It's how you deal with adversity that makes you

My Beautiful, Strong Woman (14 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Won't leave my girl for a new one

I know she's a keeper

Who doesn't like being with their favorite person every day?

There's unmistakable allure in familiarity

Being aware of each other's idiosyncrasies and insecurities

And I don't think I'll ever fully understand you or know you

And that's okay

Stay by my side, please

That's all I'll ask

No New Love (13 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

You'll ask me to leave

After I've given you my all

Shouldn't expect less from you or anyone else

Us having years together doesn't matter

Us being blood isn't important

Think my presence isn't welcomed wherever I go

But I must keep my cheery demeanor

Sadness isn't attractive

I'm supposed to be there for you

No matter my feelings

And

I will be

No matter

The neglect

Mistreatment

Or

Abuse

Unconditional Attachment (13 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

For you, I'd take a bullet, without hesitation

Really, really

You have much to live for in this life

So I won't let your life end prematurely

You Can't Die Before Me (12 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

So, doctor, where is my baby? I see this --thing-- by my bedside, but it can't be mine, can it? I mean, look at me and, although it may be hard to and you'll regret having done it later, look at that. Oh, why me? Cursed with such ugliness, ugliness that the world wants me to claim as mine.

Tough luck, baby. I don't want you and I don't need you. Me and your father will investigate and see where we went wrong; we will see to it, using all of our powers, that our next batch are made in our likeness, to your liking and will.

And you don't want to be with us either, you don't cry, or ask for attention, or try to test our patience. You just sit there silent and motionless, and expect us to wait on you baby hand and foot. The least you could do is be a bit of a help to us, like a tool.

Right, I've found a way you can be useful, to yourself and more importantly -- us. You will help us become the best possible parents we can be, you will be our learning process. Funny, you cry now, is this a coincidence?

Little thing, you could have been put up for adoption and left to live the rest of your 18 years till adulthood with god knows whom, but now you have 2 legal guardians who will happily take you in. And at no cost to themselves, why wouldn't they take you? You'll pay off in the future.

I will take it upon myself, as a woman and baby maker, to practice love, in its most deepest and various forms, on you. People and even you will think you're mommy's dearest. Your sperm donor won't be around much of your life, but I'll make sure to have him involved in our children's futures. At least we get the chance to observe the effects of neglect firsthand and prepare ourselves accordingly. Yes, our children will, really, believe that they are loved equally by both mother and father. And it'll all be thanks to you. At first I was playing around with the idea, but now I'm all for it.

Tomorrow we will start. Today, I will savor my independence and freedom. You were in my stomach for nine months and I wasn't allowed a moment to myself in all that time. I'll call my sister and ask her to take you for the day; she loves ugly babies, she had many of them. Stop your crying. You don't know me. Everyone loves me.

Take Your Baby To Someone Who Will Selflessly Love It (23 December 2024)

[line-by-line-creator]

I think I'll go hop in front of a train

I think I'll go disintegrate

What's life without you?

Something I don't care to entertain

Your pain becomes my pain

Our meeting is the gateway to a happily ever after

This matrimony stands above all other cadavers

Arguments are a minor chapter

Standing against all odds

Speed bumps in the road won't be a cause to stop

Go forward, my heart says I must go on

Feels like a lifetime together already

I don't want a pause

Desire an eternal song and dance

My inner sprit will reveal itself

Only you get to see that I'm made of glass

Others think I'm diamond and can't be cracked

I've sworn my life to you; I can't take that back

Nor do I want to

The same sun rises and sets for us

Till death do us

Apart

I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE (10 JULY 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

To this day, I wish you were slain

Hate that my hate is not what it once was

We share a surname

And yet I'm out for blood

Wisdom wasn't shared

Didn't hear of your life experiences

Passed me on to a sworn protector, have you ever cared?

When you opened your arms out, I fled

Outsiders see you different

To them you walk on H20

They think I speak of fiction

I'll keep my mouth closed

Our pictures painted things perfect

In them we were close, but I never grinned

Was standing beside you my purpose?

You gave me the ability to live

Also scrutinized all of my decisions

For you I'll never be good enough

Keep my distance

No one knows what to make of us

They say that we're alike

We don't exchange words

Wish you'd go onto the next life

For now we'll both be stuck with our hurt

Here's To The Blood That Boils In My Veins (09 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Large family divided into small rooms

Money woes keep us from leaving

Optimistically think of my square as a cocoon

The lack of personal space keeps me from breathing

Thought at this age I'd be in a mansion

Proletariats keep this house running

Forty hours a week won't nourish a money famine

If you continue to hold a good life over our heads, we'll keep jumping

A promise feels more real than a guarantee

The worse lies are the ones we tell ourselves

Perhaps the truth is not what we need

Our beliefs are our jails

Is it a sin to want to be freed?

Not sure if any answer ever prevails

Forced To Live In These Conditions (08 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Nearing thirty, feeling like it's too late

Ashamed to know that many look at you with envy

Stuck between life and death with your age

Thinking all that you sowed has been reaped

No one knows what the future holds

I can't give you an answer that is right or wrong

I cannot give you or take away control

You won't need to travel alone, I'll ride along

Your Passenger (06 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Old passions help define

Signs of aging frighten

All that is ahead only blinds

Limited life left holds onto your neck and tightens

Don't look as young as you once did

Skin is starting to sag

Feel you have nothing left to give

All you can look forward to is your past

Tried to walk a mile in shoes

My feet started to bleed

But I was more concerned with your wounds

If we were both dying, you'd be the first one I'd treat

My girl wouldn't approve

Though she knows that's part of what makes me me

A Past Hero Down On His Luck (07 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Walk with me through flames

The bottoms of our feet are black

At our closest and most intimate when we share our pains

You got my back and I got your back

Connected upon first contact

Can't explain how I knew you were the one for me, my destiny

If I tell you it was intuition, would you accept that?

Don't know if you'll ever believe me

Hand-In-Hand (06 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

The nights are much more enjoyable when spent with you on the phone

You'll be much better in person

Our special time is coming close

After all our time together, I still do get nervous

My worthiness I will constantly question

If I ruled the world, I'd hand it over

When it comes to you and your body, I do get possessive

Anyone stepping close to the love of my life with malicious intent I will murder

We Do More In One Night Than Most Do In A Whole Relationship (05 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

You sit above

Separated by our wooden and human frames

You watched me as I grew up

Think you see me with disdain

Of you I've always been envious

You've always had everything I ever wanted

Not moving through life in a rush

At times I wish we didn't deeply connect

Please Get Out Of My Life (05 June 2025)

[line-by-line-creator]

Soon we'll meet and assimilate

The world will spin slower

Us being together is fate

A nerve is a mere nerve

Very hopeful for the future

The one that ties us

I've found my person for sure

She'll be all I ever think of

We're Soon To Be Forever (03 June 2025)
