Malia 1d
I smile in the mirror
Trying not to cry.
I cannot comprehend
How my red eyes
And white teeth
Can coexist like this.
If only I could will
Myself to be happy.
I have to be happy
For the others.

So I grin
Because I read
Somewhere
That it could make
Me happy.
Everyone dreams
of a happily ever after
But nobody asked, it seems
what happens there after
Maybe they forgot
to add another chapter.

Prince charming left Cinderella
and went to be with someone else
He found some other Bella
He was always like this, someone tells.
All that they cared about
was if the shoe would fit her or someone else
Then there would be no doubt
There are going to be wedding bells.

But this is real life, not everything can be perfect
Like in a fairytale
Things won’t turn out as you expect
right down to the very detail.

But it is your story
It’ll be as you write
Love in itself is a fairytale
if you play your cards right.

Don’t be too fast
let the flow take its course
Let it happen organically
let there be no remorse.
You will smile, you will cry
You will succeed, you will fail
Just don’t give up, and always try
You will definitely create your own fairytale.

An angel on my shoulder,
But my demons dug in deeper.
It whispers in my ear.
Like a nightmare in my sleep, yeah.

Sometimes I close my eyes and think that I'm a freak,
Every single moment just fumbling on the beat.
It makes me look at myself and think.
"Weak"
Feeling like the ground is stuck to my knees.
Already counted down from three,
Took a deep but the world's still here,
Took a deep breath, but I'm still drowning in my fears.

But I'm
Still trying, still fighting
The devil of me.
Lash out, but I'm the only one in front of me.
It's cold, it's hot, it's hell, it's not,
And I don't know what to believe.

Just
...
My own worst enemy.
HOW DOES THAT RUSH FEEL ?
THAT FIRST TOUCH RUSH
THAT FIRST KISS RUSH
THAT GLANCE RUSH
Bekah Halle Jan 2020
See
Why have I been so afraid of being me?
Is it because I really couldn’t see the reality of the truth, the promise, and the hope within me?
Why did I close my eyes and my heart from thee; to be truly free, and see,
The pure delight intrinsically, within, rather than embracingly love and choosing to be happy?
What a waste; the years of lies I have believed,
But now, I want to be revolutionary, flee those lies and start on a new journey...
towards the promise of joyful harmony.
while we continued to suffer
we still loved each other
"tum haaree vajah se dard
vah meree pyar ki  kahaanee"
the suffering brought on by you
"That's my story for  LOVE"
with tears rolling down my cheek
i understood that
"they may want you be the happiest in your life
but you will neve be their first priority"
and this hit me hard...
