Inner Battle

Love yourself first people say,
Love your neighbour as yourself the Bible preaches,
But neither my neighbour nor myself do I love,
Which makes it no sin.

My life has been on a hold,
Everyday passes with no hope,
Yet many expect some hospitality,
Even from the one who has no home.

I know I am crazy,
And I don’t pray I get well,
This life is worth nothing,
Not its possessors deserve a thing.

I just pray I don’t get misjudged in the afterworld,
The way I feel is not my decision,
It is more of a curse than a choice,
Something I can’t really battle from within.

You and I

You say you love me,
But deceit, is all I perceive.
You vow never to desert me,
But already, I feel lonely.
You sing to me sweet love songs,
But in the middle, I rummage lies.
You send me motivating morning text messages,
But I see you as the barricade, standing in my way.
You may mean all you do and say,
But maybe I’m the ingrate, tired of us.

Sometimes, we are the problem
