Trying Hard Enough

Who are you to tell me I am not trying hard enough
What is the true definition of that?
Is it forcing myself to stay awake every night?
Waking up early every morning?
Even though I walk from one end of the campus to the other end
It is ok; I am having my heart to lend.

People throw around this sisterhood thing.
What is it anyway?
Someone who listens to you?
Tell you when you are wrong?
Constructive criticism?
Be hard
In order to better one self?
Isn’t that what a best friend is too?
People throw that word around too.

So what I am anti-social.
I don’t choose that on purpose.
I guess that would make me suspect.
A person someone who doesn’t trust.
Change is a working process
And I have been working on that since birth.
But for someone to say I am not trying hard enough
That isn’t not love.

How dare you tell me I am not trying hard enough?
My sleep pattern is all messed up
I am breaking out
Stressing out
Hair shedding out
Yet, in order for me to be deemed as trying hard enough
I probably have to slit my wrist
Letting the blood drip.
Right?

I am trying hard so I can be
Someone people can rely on and trust
Not a shy somebody
Everything I do is the wrong decision.
I am like a rainstorm filled with dark black skies
And haunting rainfalls full of lies.
Is there a silver lining in the clouds?
Because I am constantly fighting with myself again, and again.
Trying to please others time and time again.

Human Is Fragile

Monday, March 05, 2012 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments


The spoken word exists, always and forever.
Describing the fragility of every living creature,
The human is no exception
Expand the mind
The communication exists there.
You live only once
So exploit your chances
Carpe Diem, live in the moment.
You may not return home.
So just believe, in your own spoken fragility.
It is the most unknown thing you will experience
Slightly curious?
Human is fragile
So lets not be human
Lets be…
Unique
Uniquely human and spoken free.
Break out of the prevalent roles
A modern concept of equality.
Bound by the words that are coming out my mouth
This fragile state is my house.
In which this, I control
The technology of simplicity
Motion, devastation, reversed
Or reverse this devastation in motion.
Exclusion?
Not mine
Because you see, I stand alone
Amongst breaking and entering spoken tone
Always and forever as the human is fragile

What Is Not To Love About You

Friday, March 02, 2012 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments


You are more than a handsome face
A man with a gorgeous shape.
You're full of substance
You're not shallow at all...
For hours we could sit and talk
Just about anything from A to Z
It's crazy how you relate to me.
Because with you I can always be myself

What is not to love about you.
Everyday I find more reasons too...
Your inner life that always shines right through.
Really, what is not to love about you.

I love how you don’t always walk around
With an “all about me” attitude.
I would never expect to find someone like you
But here you are
Because there is no one who can take you place.
You complete me
Even through the arguments
I love you
Through thick and thin.
