"Can you listen?" But I am.
When would someone like you listen to me?
Tell me, when did you ever listen to me?
You never cared about my opinion, never cared about what I have to say.
Everyone always had to do it your way.
The reason why we have nothing to talk about anymore,it's cause I can't bear to say anything to you.
It's gonna be that kind of one sided conversation.
It's not that I'm not trying,
It's cause I don't want life to be like that.
Why must I always be that person trying?
When you don't make any effort.
Home and taking care of your children is more than just supplying them allowance.
I know you worked hard, I know that. I'm not blind.
It's just that things change so drastically, I don't understand why.
In the past, we had quality time together, we had warmth, we had memories in the house.
Now, this house is nothing but pain for me, all i remember is the smell of smoke each day.
All I know is that I wanna leave this place.
Smoking every single fucking damn day.
Can you see what you've become?
You can't see it's hurting me.
You can't see that it's causing the drift.
You can't see nothing.
One day, when I had enough, I would just leave.
I told mummy once when we quarreled that I wanted to jump out the window,
so many times I wished I did. Maybe it's better for everyone.
It's the logical side of me that saved me.
It wasn't you because you never fucking cared even if i cried.
You just scolded me for the way I talked back.
You don't even bother finding out the reason why I talk like that to you and mum.
People say I shouldn't talk like that to y'all.
I do that because I really can't be bothered with you.
If I had the financial ability to support myself,
I would a long time ago.
It's not that I changed for the worst, it was you.
It was you that changed me like that.
You never bothered to listen to what I have to say.
I should be the one saying "Can You listen"
Make you feel my love
Thursday, August 23, 2012 @ 2:21 AM


When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
There is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
Make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
Down on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love, to make you feel my love


“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.”

"Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come out of it" -Benjamin Mee, We Bought A Zoo

That 20 seconds of courage that I never seem to have.
I probably could have a lot of great things happening to me if I wasn't so shy,wasn't so scared and afraid of trying.
last time

Songbook baby, I like to thank Mr. Bryan Micheal Cox
For helpin' me illustrate my feelin'
It's just gettin' too hot, baby, it's gettin' too hot
This the last time and the last chapter, ah me for you
For the last time, this is gonna be the last time
It's gonna be the best though, I promise, just one last time

'Cuz if she catch me with you, she will kill us
These hotel rooms is lookin' too familiar
Your love is so, so serious
Girl, you keep me comin' back, back that is

I be with her thinkin' of you
I be with you thinkin' of her, my boo
She just don't deserve this, ain't nobody perfect
But I just can't take no more, 'cuz

I'm livin' two different lives
One girl in the day, you in nite
And even though this ain't right
I just can't get enough

Of da way you put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up, baby girl
Don't talk just listen

Let's just make love, girl, for da last time
Yep I said, da last time, girl, this the last time
I'm all caught up and it's time to put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up baby girl, just listen, this the last time

See the problem is I'm too deep involved
To be playin wit yo emotions, you really got me open, oh
I gotta figure it out, can't let no pussy come before my baby
Not baby, no, 'cuz she's da only one that ease my mind

But girl, you just so fine, oh, give it to me one last time
Baby, let your hair down, take it to the bed now
Spread them lovely legs now, one last round

I'm livin' two different lives
One girl in the day, you in night
And even though this ain't right
I just can't get enough

Of da way you put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up, baby girl
Don't talk just listen

Let's just make love, girl, for da last time
Yep I said, da last time, girl, this the last time
I'm all caught up and it's time to put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up baby girl, just listen, this the last time

Let me see yo, take off ya clothes for the last time
Let's keep this thang on the low for the last time
Tell me how you wanna get it
I know ya favorite is da kitchen

And da way I used to kiss it
Girl, I know you're gonna miss it
But there's only one condition
Baby, please don't fuss

Don't be trippin', keep it pimpin'
Baby girl, let just make love
For the last time, the last time, the last time

I'm livin' two different lives
One girl in the day, you in night
And even though this ain't right
I just can't get enough

Of da way you put it down
You got me trippin'
Hold up, baby girl
Don't talk just listen

Let's just make love, girl, for da last time
I said, da last time, this is the last time
I'm all caught up and it's time to put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up baby girl, just listen, this the last time

I'm livin' two different lives
One girl in the day, you in nite
And even though this ain't right
I just can't get enough

Of da way you put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up, baby girl
Don't talk just listen

Let's just make love, girl, for da last time
Yep I said, da last time, this the last time
I'm all caught up and it's time to put it down
You really got me trippin'
Hold up baby girl, just listen, this the last time

I said the last time, that "this is the last time" but i'm not strong enough to make it the last. I'm holding on to it more than I ever should. So when would it be the last time?
down that road

Pointless arguments surfacing. Doubts here and there. I don't know what's happening, but all I know that it hurts. Maybe we simply ran out of words to say, we're trying to make a conversation last but it seems to be going nowhere and meaningless. I'm trying to keep it together but it's falling apart. Maybe I should stop, maybe this friendship was never mine to keep, maybe I wanted more than what I'm suppose to have, maybe this is all wrong. It's hard to say goodbye, but sometimes all I need to do is try.

Words that are overuse seem to lose its meaning overtime.
Later. Later can mean a minute later, an hour, a few hours, a day, a year.
Well, guess I shouldn't care how much words means.
cause my words never meant anything to you.
I'm glad you came

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Faster, Higher, Stronger. That's where I wanna get to and I know I would get there. It's all about doing my best and striving to be the best I can be.

Being disappointed in myself hurts, but I never knew that knowing others are disappointed in me hurts more until today. Maybe that's why I always tried my best in everything I do, because I hate to know that people are disappointed in me. A lot of times I know I give up on a lot of things, and this time maybe dance. I don't know if i'll ever find that feeling of dancing back again, but all I can say is that i'll try.

“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

I blog whenever I'm sad, there never seems to be a happy post for quite some time. Looking at my previous posts it hurts to know that I feel so much pain in my heart all the time. I never seem to ever let go of things that hurt me, with my lips I say "yeah I'll be okay, I've moved on", but deep down in my heart is where it remains. The worst post was the one about Dom, but that is something I learnt to live with and deal with. Other things, I've not yet learn to cope.

With my lips I say "I don't feel anything yet, I'm just scared I would feel it", but everytime I say it I know it's all lies because I know I already feel it, maybe it's not the exact feeling but I feel some thing in my heart. I'm not asking for much, not even asking for you to feel the same. Just asking my heart to be able to shut up, stop and pull away. I just wanna leave, get away but, no matter where I think of going, whenever I feel sad my first thought is towards you, that's where I wanna go when I'm upset. This is so wrong, this isn't suppose to happen.

It's gonna hurt, but I need to try. You wouldn't even notice if i'm gone. So guess it makes no difference. Goodbye
Wishing i could forget

Everywhere I go
Everything I do
Reminds me of you

Just a picture on the wall
I’m surrounded by it all
Gotta walk before I fall, yeah

Fall out, out on the street
Streetlight, light up for me
So far from where I used to be

When she was mine
Everything was easy
Everything was simple
Never felt so good
When she was mine
I wanted to remember
Never missed a second
Now I wish I could forget

Forget when she was mine, mine, yeah
When she was mine, mine, yeah

What I miss the most
Is talking up all night
We laughed until we cried

Now I’m breaking at the seams
Dropping to my knees
Nothing left of me, no

Like stone turned into dust
My heart wasn’t enough
So far from where I used to be

When she was mine
Everything was easy
Everything was simple
Never felt so good
When she was mine
I wanted to remember
Never missed a second
Now I wish I could forget

Forget when she was mine, mine, yeah
When she was mine, mine, yeah
When she was mine

Wonder if she’s out there
Wonder where she goes, she goes
Wonder what she’s doing
Will I ever know, yeah

Everything was easy
Everything was simple
Never felt so good
When she was mine
I wanted to remember
Never missed a second
Now I wish I could forget

Forget when she was mine, mine, yeah
When she was mine, mine, yeah

I’m down on my knees
Gotta see her, gotta see her, gotta see her, yeah
I tried to forget
But I need her, but I need her, but I need her

I’m down on my knees
Gotta see her, gotta see her, gotta see her
I tried to forget
But I need her, but I need her, but I need her

When she was mine
Someday
Saturday, August 11, 2012 @ 1:32 AM
From the start I knew I needed you more than you need me, you were like the pillar of support, the pillar that never cracks and never falls. Actually, you never needed anyone and I knew that. I know there would come a time I have to start pulling away from you. I just never knew how to do it. I don't how can I be strong again after relying on you for so long. No one needs another human being to survive, it's all a matter of learning how to cope. I'm slowly getting there, slowly but surely. I just want to be so far away from you so that I know that I wouldn't hurt myself at the end of the day. Maybe you won't even realize i'm gone, it probably wouldn't make a difference cause you never needed me in the first place. It's hard, but I know it has to be done. Cause I don't wanna hurt anymore, not like this. All I can say is, thank you but goodbye.

Maybe someday we'll meet, we'll talk again but it wouldn't be like how it used to be. You've got everything you need. A lot of times, i wished we didn't meet because I would be stronger now. Since we have met, it's a good memory. But we all have to say our goodbyes someday, so let me be the first to say.
Hanging on the moment
Sunday, August 5, 2012 @ 4:20 AM
Disappointed in myself, pessimistic and flooded with negative thinking. But, giving up on life was never an options. I can give up on a lot of things, not so foolish to give up on life.

I don't know what happened to me. Happiness seem so out of reach these days. Smiling is a chore, doing everything or the thought of doing something not because I want to, but cause I have to, makes me stress. I can feel the heaviness of my heart, the pain I feel somewhere deep down in my chest. I'm hurting. Really badly. I can just lie down all that, curled up, trying to take away the pain. After hours, knowing that the pain doesn't go away. I feel lost. Lost in this world. I'm physically here, mentally half existing here.

All I can say is that I'm trying. Trying to be happy, trying not to go crazy, trying to hold on what little I know that is part of me. I've changed and I know that, I feel it in my heart yet unable to grab hold of it and stop it from drifting away. I'm becoming weak, not knowing how to be strong anymore. I'm sorry to those who have to listen to me, to those who have to be there for me. I'm grateful, but sorry. I wish I could be stronger, I wish I wasn't sad anymore, I wish I'm not hurting, I wish I didn't feel pain, I wish I can be happy. Sound simple, but why is it so difficult for me to reach it.

What happened to me?
Time, Decisions, Life
Friday, August 3, 2012 @ 11:49 PM
Heavy heart, vexed, frustrated, stress probably going to go crazy soon. The closest words i can find to describe how i'm feeling right now. At the speed i'm going, i'm probably gonna take awhile to complete this post. I'm getting stuck with my words.

Time. How can i grasp the fact that I have 3 days to decide my life for the next two years. I wished I had more time. Everyone hopes for immortality, to live and not to die. But sometimes I wish I didn't have to live, because if i lived in pain everyday then it had no meaning in life. All I ask for is make a decision between UNLV and Kaplan that I would not regret. It's a tough choice, I can't decide. I wished someone would decide for me. Maybe I should flip a coin, maybe I should make a list of pros and cons, maybe I should close my eyes and just point one. I don't know what I should do, where's the advice when i need one, where's the help that i needed. Parents that doesn't really listen to my dilemma and just leave me hanging. I chose where I wanna go and what I wanna do all my life, so it shouldn't be any different right? It shouldn't be that difficult right? Usually, I have more time. I don't know which is better, I don't know which school is more trustable because I don't trust any. Why must it be today that they call. I rather they said they reject me cause i've already given up hope after waiting for 3 months plus. Is this a test? It's a test I didn't sign up for. So much similarities, how can I decide? All I feel is this weight in my heart that I can't lift.

I failed myself, cause I didn't get where I aim to be. I guess hard work doesn't pay off all the time. It's like I'm not complaining, I just count myself unlucky. Now, I've got two universities accepting me into their school not because of my qualifications of sports, i'm just filling up the spaces cause I would be paying them money for school fees and stuff. Tell me, is education really everything. At the end of the day it's just pieces of paper with words written on it saying the level of education you have obtained. Sadly, in my logical brain, i know in this society, that piece of paper means everything. It gets you money, a job and a life without worries. I know I can't even afford to pay for university but, it's the only way I have to go.

Everyday I wake up, hoping things will be like how it was when I younger. Hoping the house would clean itself up. Hoping this house would be filled with love and warmth. Hoping things will change. Hoping I didn't have to wake up with a heavy heart. Hoping I could stay home and not worry about smoke that fills the air every night and afternoon. Hoping I could truly take a rest at home and not worry about anything. Hoping that I do not have to go out because I'm trying to escape from everything in the house. Hoping.. hoping things would get better.
