Broken but not defeated

                                    Broken but not defeated

Sometimes I feel suffocated,the feeling of being underwater with nowhere to go. Drifting away from the land slowly and painfully. I know with every passing moment the chances of my survival are reduced. I scream and shout for help, I reach out my hand in hope that someone will save me. Someone will come for me, someone will remember that I am lost. I have been wrong, it seems every decision that I have made took me further away from you. My actions may seem wrong but my intensions were always good. I am isolated, drowning slowly. I can feel my heart beating fast and my hands going numb. In my last moments, I can just think of you. How your smile made me think that everything is alright. 

Somethings are not taught to you, you learn them along the way. You make mistakes, you fall, you rise, you learn, you forget, you love, you hate, you write your own story and choose your own destiny. Life without a manual is the only life i know.

The Unappreciated

                                                   Tears of a Clown

                                                                  Sitting on the stairs,

                                                         was a man with a painted smile,

                                                              Everybody laughed at him.

                                                               He had tears in his eyes.

                                                           If you could see in his eyes,

                                                         you could see the pain inside,

                                                         Underneath that painted smile,

                                                    There was a man living an empty life.

                                                             People laughed at his pain

                                                            and when he was ashamed,

                                                                       At his last fall,

                                                         There was no one he could call.

                                                              He danced and jumped

                                                           to entertain the whole town,

                                                               But no one cared about 

                                                                The tears of the clown

                                                                Sitting on the stairs,

                                                        was a man with a painted smile,

                                                            Everybody laughed at him.

                                                             He had tears in his eyes.
