To be accepted
To be welcomed
When settling for bare minimum
Is no option
Impossible it feels
to receive your dreams
In a fake devoured society
that is today.
I'm in a big black hole
digging my own grave.
Suffocating in my reality.
Shame crawls in
as my heart is breaking with disbelieve.
What once was,
where has it gone?
Why are they all the same?
Why are they nice only until
they get what they want?
Don't they have a heart?
A heart beating; some emotion.
I'm broken. Hard to believe.
Long term promises.
Broken. Without care.
Only dismay.
Disappointment.
Why oh why.
Do I keep making
Same old mistakes....
Where is my prince now?
Nowhere to be seen;
Or found.
All. Alone.
Switched on or off
True or False
Bit and byte,
It's our daily fight.
Programming in C#
Debugging ASP.NET
Monitors, Motherboards
All hardware faults.
Screaming faces
Angry bosses
All complaining
their PC losses.
All we do,
we try to please
And for this
We charge minimum fees.
In front of my mirror, naked
A reflection of pictures on my wall
hanging there
staring at me, smiling at me.
I wonder about the days gone by
about the good times
about my family, friends
moving out and coming into my life.
I wonder how innocent I was
how adventurous I was
about all the activities and fun
I was part of, how it all disappeared.
In front of my mirror, naked
A reflection of my old self
my scars from the car accident
my crow's feet, my wrinkles.
I am not happy
I am not fine
Mad about people,
My personal life.
Everything was perfect
But now I have doubt
What shall I do?
Do I want out?
Life is challenging
Everyone, demanding
I want to forget
They keep bringing it back.
Little they know
they're making it worse
I don't want pity
I don't want help.
I've always been a lone wolf
Deal things on my own
So please understand...
I wanna be alone.
What lies inside,
is what matters
Or so they say...
Our beauty fades,
but who we are stays.
Our lies and secrets,
buried, hidden,
from the ones we love.
Are we monsters?
We pray -
They will not find out;
They will understand us
They will forgive our reasons
when we're on our death-bed.
In the meantime
As our heart is thumping blood
We live our adventures,
Our forced smiles will come out
(while we pretend, everything is alright)
the mysteries, the darkest secrets
stored within.
Young, careless and free
Is what I long to be.
I am sixty-five
fed up of being alive.
Eager for company -
'No, I'm not a loony!'
Trying to persuade my family
As not to abandon me.
Waiting to be fed
Hanging by a thread
Sitting in the same old rooms
As my ilness blooms.
Every night I pray -
What I wouldn't pay!
To get back my faith...
And peacefully die in bed.
Words remain unspoken
Thoughts are buried
Dreams are driven
into the abyss of Neverland...
Standing still - sick and tired
of your unfulfilled promises
Breaking my heart
into a million and one pieces:
Which you try to weave together
Unsuccessfully. Helplessly.
Just like a puzzled jigsaw -
Trial and error
waiting for my guidance
only I deserve better:
I have feelings.
