How do I do it
For the first in a while, I found myself asking myself that question
How do I go around acting as if everything is perfectly fine
When in reality I'm a wreck inside
Almost lost my life today on my way to work
Yet still here at work no one can tell the mixed emotions I feel inside
I guess it's a mastery of the of what they say
You need to separate you personally emotions and life from work when you're at work
But is it wise to do especially when having to deal with real life persons with multiple issue
To truly be human is so rare to me
Sometimes I thinks I've forgotten how to even feel and act like one
I've been through so many emotional and mental situations in life
My mind just doesn't react the same any more
Going through the day as if nothing had happened yet still
I can't completely know how to feel
But then again it's probably due to the fact
I only have a few persons I can be emotional around
How do I face possible death and then act as if everything is fine minutes later
Is it truly being emotionally strong mentally or
Am I really emotionless in lifeComment fait-on ça

Complicated isn't it
To have someone who means so much more to you
Than just a mere friend but not able to really be together as one
You laugh together, cry together and are always there to support each other
You're almost inseparable if you both had things your way
But there is always that one obstacle
One that has always been there before you met
To be more than just friends takes a new height
When you two admit that you don't just like each other
But crave the taste of each other just the same
But are too disciplined to act upon those urges surging through each other's veins
Only if you two could escape reality for a mere day and let time stand still
Who know what would happen then
Once there would be no penalty for the unspeakable
But that's just a dream to remain in each other's mind for all timesPlus que de simples amis

You don't know what it's like to be loved by me
Nor do I know what it's like to be loved by you
But I do know one thing for sure
I don't just want to love you physically
But rather mentally and spiritually deep to your soul
I see in you more than just a mere girl
But a beautiful woman filled with so much potential
To be loved by my me I know it won't always be paradise
But one thing is for sure the potential I see in us is worth the trouble
I'm not just looking for a one night fix
Or an on and off friend with benefits
Once you caught my attention I want to see what the years ahead can bring
Someone to nature and grow with
I'm never looking for the perfect relationship
But one that has love and trust to persevere troubled times as they arise
We'll start at the bottom and work our way to the top
From strangers to friends to a point words can no longer explain the bond we share
But through our actions the words take form
Until those forbidden words are finally spoken to each other
With true meaning to the words till death do us partAimé de moi

Sigh, at this stage in life sometimes I wonder
Am I mentally ill or just emotionally empty
With each event that happens in my life there's so very few things that surprises me anymore
Wither it be a living person, or a none living company
They all have become so predictable
To be correct almost every time some would consider it a gift
But for me not so much, I grow tired of knowing what the outcome will be
My mind at this point just needs peace
And a peace that can only be found in being proven wrong sometimes
Maybe it's just my trust issue toward others that make things so predictable
But who knows, all I know I'm tired of being right
My mind work on so many possibilities that may be
It just seems I can't slow down mentally
My body will at times but my mind runs on still never really slowing down
Sometimes I just wish I could take a break from everything
So that I could enjoy the small unpredictable moments of life
Only if my life was that simpleMentalement fatigué

I've been told many times by others
You're living in a fantasy world
Just because of how I view things in life
And as normal I'm not phased by it
Merely because the fact is I live by my own rules
My fantasy world ain't no fantasy
It's just that I'm willing to sacrifice a lot more to bend things to a mutual point in life
Eventually one learns that life isn't just about winning
But learning to live with your failures as well
And learning how to think ahead for the next time around
My fantasy world hmm not so much
If I want something it's what I will get in the time I say
People often take the things I say for joke
But what the heck once I am on my own it's possible as I have no one to worry about
A strong man is strongest when he's alone
And I've proven this in my life time before
I live in my own world with such high expectations for myself
Yet so little from others as I hardly expect to receive the same energy I put in
I'm the guy who thinks of every possibility before diving in head first
I'm the kind of guy who wants to rebuild my world on my own after losing everything
I don't want any handouts or pity
I want my own empire from my own sweat and blood
I'm the kind of guy who wants a family and not someone to play games with
A visionary who's in the game for the long run no matter how hard times may get
To have an easy victory sometimes results in losing more than expected
I don't want to be rich and famous
Just humble and comfortable so I can enjoy the time spent with those I love and care about
Time waits on no man and our destiny is not carved in stone
I like being different and I will make my fantasy world real one step at a timeMon monde fantastique

It almost a year now since I first met you
As another ordinary person at work seeking my help
But unforeseen to me things would have changed so much
Once I had the courage to approach you
Or should I say to let you in since approached me first
At first I never really took those words you've always asked me in a playful tone
Into taught but as I got to know you they began to hold meaning
And at times meaning so deep I contemplated if I should act upon them
To think you would have been able to break me
To make me want to open up to you ways I've hidden for years now
You've slowly but surely grown to be more than just a friend to me
One might even say you've become an aspiring bride to be in my eyes
Someone I still have a lot to learn about but willing to take the time nonetheless
You at times make me nervous to act upon my natural instincts
Or may say just confused as I still learn who you are
To be or not to be is a question I ask myself constantly
Or is it the fear of losing something I'm not sure I ever had speaking now
But nonetheless I'm glad I you came into my life when you did
And hopefully this ain't the end eitherLa connexion imprévue

You know sometimes growing up ain't easy being the first born
So much is expected of us from the day we're born
Sometimes it's a challenge or one might even say it's a burden
As all expectations fall on our shoulders
To carry on the families name and will
It's often times our job to be the problem solver of the family
The one who has to maintain a delicate balance
In all affairs of the family especially the families stability
Sometimes we wish we could be free like our younger siblings
Sometimes I wonder why is it that so much is expected from us
Sometimes we want to keep our families in good standing
While on the other hand we want to enjoy life to the fullest
As we discover who we are
We are the ones who our parents look to for support
The ones who a entrusted with keeping our younger siblings in line
We are trusted with so much it's a privilege
As every decision made of great importance we're consulted for our approval
As the first born we not only assume the title as hire
To our families fortune and blessings but also we inherit all the problems and downfalls
Of our predecessors
As a first born sometimes our lives are not our own
But nonetheless it's our choice to forge our own future
Even with all the challenges we inheritLe premier né, le résolveur de problèmes

At a first glance I might seem like a heartless bastard
But as you grows closer to me you realize
It's just a show for self protection
As at times my own emotions are too complicated and dangerous
To expose to others even if I wanted to
My emotions that hides behind this pretense
Are like kryptonite as my emotions will
Make me want to put those I care about before myself
As they become my only weakness in life
With these emotions exposed my plans are placed on hold
As your dreams becomes a priority as do your happiness
At times one would say I become less self focused or self centered
As my main energy is diverted to replace your lost faith
But these changes are sometimes not visible to others
As I'll always act like the problem solver even when down on my face
I act brave in the presence of other but deep inside I'm tearing apart
But closing you out from these emotions I have no wish to do so
With rise of each sun I struggle to balance my choices
To be neutral without picking sides
But this is probably why I chose to suppress these emotions
The words I love you are now forbidden words
As now at the snap of a finger my emotions can change towards anyone
At anytime I see fitMes émotions me rendent-elles faible

At first one never really understands love
As many times we think we've found the one
The one to erase all pain and loneliness
Repeatedly you ask yourself is she the one
As you sit and think back on how she makes you feel
The way her voice can make your day of misery turn to joy instantly
The way you admire her smile and laughter
Or the way you make each other nervous just by looking into each other's eyes
You find yourself speechless or stuttering when she say hi
I will never understand it to tell you the truth
She makes you want to be a better man each day
As she inspires you both with words and the actions that follows
You find yourself gazing off at night wondering is she ok
While she's absent from your arms
Her pain starts to become yours
As your joy becomes her's
She slowly becomes your world, your joy and pride
The center of your focus in life as you look to the future
Of creating a family in paradise together
And not a one night stand
She not only becomes a close friend but also apart of your soul
Someone whom you can never hide your pain or fair from
As you become connected in a way beyond physical understanding
But rather through each others souls
But in times like these who really knows if she's the one
Or even if the one really existEst-elle la seule

Do you ever just feel like you’re dying,
Like a million suns from unknown galaxies
Are crashing into you,
Stealing the space and air from your lungs,
Colliding with your heart,
Until what’s left of your soul detaches from your body?
Do you ever just feel like even starlight
Cannot keep the hope awake in your chest
And you yearn for the precipice that is the night sky
To swallow your whole?
Do you ever just think to yourself
That only monsters live inside you
And you are doomed to forever repeat
Your mistakes on time lapse
With despair in your bones?
Do you ever feel like there is no soul alive
Who is want for what you have to offer,
That the madness within is your only gift
But no one dares to receive?
I do.

We are the ones who are hard to understand
We'll be the last ones in the movie theatre
because the ending scene made us cry
We'll stop to smell the roses
because they deserve to be appreciated
We are the ones who will take the time
to get to know what keeps you up at night
We are the ones who will imagine
an entire future of adventures
with the people who show us love
We are the ones who will love you more
than we love ourselves sometimes
We will give you our strongest parts
in hopes that we can make things better
We desire to see you become the best you
to make sure that you always feel our love
We crave affection and appreciation
We give a piece of ourselves away every day
sometimes to people who don't deserve it
Our love is easy to take advantage of
and sometimes we don't get back
the love that we give away
When we hurt, we crumble and fall apart
We constantly have to put ourselves back together
We are more fragile than we like to give off
We carry our emotions on our sleeves
Our flaws have the ability to consume us
We aren't afraid to give you the world
but we are afraid to feel unloved
We want you to see what we see
We want you to understand where we're coming from
We are good people with good intentions
We are stronger than we look like
Not everyone can feel the way we feel
We feel too much, too often
We are not hard to love
We are something not everyone knows how to love
But you need to remember that
your worth does not change just because
no one is there to appreciate you, to remind you
You are not any less lovable
You are the most lovable person in the world
You are a light that the world needs
Your kindness is not your weakness
You do not need to change for anyone's acceptance
You do not need to stop giving love
just because you don't get any back
Your heart is the best thing about you
And one day when you least expect it
someone will notice you from across the room
and know exactly how to love you
They will think all of these things are beautiful
They will deserve the love you can give
They will fill the empty space in your heart
But for now, don't stop feeling
We are the ones who feel everything so deeply
We are the ones who can't give up because
We are the ones who will teach the world
how to love
We are exactly who we are supposed to be.

Thank you so much @writersnetwork ❤I cannot compose brilliant poems,
Sonnets, or verses,
and I cannot speak to you
In Latin or Greek;
I cannot move you with any language
Made up by man.
Love is the only only language
I could converse you with
And I'm brave enough to tell you
That we're one of a kind.
