Promises and Proses

And as you wrap those once loving arms around my waist
Whispering into my ears
A promise

To love me just as much as I love you
Someday
I let my tears fall.

For if my eyes run dry from the realisation
Of self worth

The beautifully blooming path that leads to my heart
May suddenly change direction
And you shall never find your way back in.

I lie here, trying
To kill that part of me that says
I can't live without you.

Each breath in deep prayer
That maybe old promises made to each other
Within four walls, engulfed in artificial air
Will indeed come true

And I won't have to forget you.

In my broken relationships, in my search for myself, in my lack of true friendship and in my uncertainties. My Home is not home at all, if we go by the dictionary. Funny thing is, my Home and I.. our feelings aren’t mutual for each other. It rejects me...

Prejudices

The truth about life is that it isn’t fair. No matter how much you cry or beat your chest about it, karma isn’t going to come to you in person and hand you your rewards. There will be an ample amount of unfair difficulties in your life, but the only way to cross them is to accept the injustice of it. It’s the only way to get past it. Once you realise and respect the fact that it is not something you can control, and that it will continue to exist no matter how much you wreck your brain over whether you deserve this treatment from life or not, things will get easier. Often, you end up giving all that you have within yourself to the wrong things and people. And when the time comes, and you are faced with the unfortunate reality of heartbreak and betrayal, the real problem does not lie with forgiving those who deceived you in the first place, but with forgiving yourself, for being naive enough to invest in something that is now the reason your world is falling apart.   ...
