As A Broken Doll, Odds And Ends

Sunday, June 30, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

You won't break my heart.
I would have to break it first.
Heart moving fasting.
Such a beautiful disaster.
In this skin
So breakable
These old wings
Burn these strings
These old things.
Life a tight rope
And these burdens
Only apart of who I am.
No remote.
To tell me I'm beautiful.
Fragile I am.
Like a broken porcelain doll.
Odds and ends,
No one to believe in.
My life knocks on my door.
Throwing stones at my window.
At 4 in the morning.
And maybe it won't suck as much.
Walk away.
But slithers like a viper.
And gets me in the neck.
The thousand ways I try to forget.
I pretty much suffered in lightness and darkness.
Trying to suck the pain right out.
So many reasons.
I'm surely no like the rest.
In all due time, I hope to forget.
My heart checks me in.
Society kicks me down.
And chews you up and spits you out.
Messing with my sanity
By twisting all these thoughts around.
Sometimes it's blind.
Sometimes it waits.
But everytime it seeks my fate.
Pleasure without pain.
The odds and ends
My soul you'll never claim.

Gratitude

Saturday, June 29, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

It's so surreal.
How you make me feel.
Like a gentle breeze.
Roses and Jasmines
Spread your wings
And fly away.
Gratitude
From me to you.
Let me express that to you.
Heartbeat increased.
When we meet.
Putting a smile upon my face.
Being a part of you inner space.
Life is too short.
No time to waste.
Doing exactly what you can.
Always ready to led a hand.
So thankful.
So admirable.
You understand.
You cried my tears.
Vulnerable but you listen.
Disappointment at myself.
Subtle circumstances.
But you were there.
Reaching out to me in ways I never expected
Feeling loved like never before.
You still try to rescue me.
That's why I show my gratitude.

Second Best

Sunday, June 23, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

Everyday I feel like I'm second best.
In your life behind all the rest.
There is so many times I tried.
Now it is time to go away and hide.
Because I'm ignored.
That's nothing new.
If I call or text, it means I need you.
Yes again, everyone says they need me too,
I don't run to them.
I run to you.
But when they need you.
You run to them.
So I have someone new.
Just a friend who needs me too.
But I still feel second best.
I just want to be someone priorities.

Disconnect

Saturday, June 22, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

Is this all life is then?
Only shallow breathes
Why the struggle for?
The world makes no sense.
Air is everywhere.
Filling the room as if in a trance.
Like two negatives
Or two positives.
It does it match
Nor does it attract
My soul on a piece of paper.
In a puddle of words.
Cliche' it may be.
I feel a disconnect
Something I cant get back
A crosswalk cut short
Between life or death and in-between.
Society treats me.
With drops of indifference.
Like a wild boar chased by bullets
In a quiet forest contemplating.
Walking barefeet in the sand.
Feeling the cold body of the hand
Nobody notices.
How beautifully it does not show.
Between me and the other world.
The world and the society we live in.
Slowly a subtle disconnect
In the damaged word we live in.

Right Here All Along

Friday, June 21, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

You are my opposite.
Looking back at me.
Figuring it all out.
But you've been here all along.
Never seemed to noticed
But you never left. 
I see my dreams in you. 
Something I'm just realizing too.
Wished I known before
You protect my vulnerability to the core.
When you did come back. 
It was easy.
But hard to admit it. 
I'm not innocent. 
Far from it. 
And you are good for me.
Sometimes you make me strong rather than weak. 
I genuinely love you. 
Even if I marry the one I'm meant to be with. 
You have always been here all along. 
You never left in the first place.

Happiness Deserved?

Monday, June 17, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

I always hear I'm sorry. 
Everyone always care. 
Don't I deserve to be happy?
My shell suddenly rewrapping. 
Nothing to do but settle. 
I'm on my own with this
Apparently I'm born for this. 
When there's hope. 
Misery comes crawling. 
Struggling between who I am
And who I'm trying to be. 
No one really knows me. 
Everyone lives like the last song you will ever sing. 
I'm whole but incomplete. 
Can I feel the pressure. 
Obviously not.
I don't let things go
I forgive but never forget. 
I do suppress it. 
So it doesn't get in the way. 
All the words I can possibly say
Means as much as the actions it display. 
The shell of me appears to be happy. 
My soul is lacking.  
I see what I want
The truth facing front. 
Intellectually speaking tongue. 
Find me and embrace it. 
Happiness I'm hopping for.

Snap Back

Sunday, June 16, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

I try to run away to a safe place I can not find.
I want to snap back and say. 
Emotional boundaries caught
In a web if foreplay. 
Just back off. 
No more Miss nice girl. 
No more being in the clouds and going soft. 
Living it out. 
My fingertips reaching burning hot. 
Don't come to me with the vulnerability. 
I am nowhere near in pure stability. 
Remember the feeling. 
Remember the day. 
My stone heart constantly breaking.
The love ran away. 
I chew on hope. 
And spit out its sanity. 
That's sin against humanity. 
Body eager. 
Turn around and snap back. 
Think I'm plain and stupid. 
I will drop you just like that. 
So don't toy with me. 
Utter depleting emotions you see. 
Because I will snap back. 
I am nobody else!

Why I Care So Much?

Friday, June 14, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

I love him.
You love her.
So neglecting.
Drawn together by the loneliness.
Not seeing what a wonderful person you are.
Aiming for our hearts.
Like a bullet first from a 50 caliber rifle.
Constantly played.
She claims she loves you.
And I know you do.
He claims he loves me
Nothing but neglecting, arguing, and immaturity.
Sometimes I don't get an "I miss you"
Look at it this way.
Somehow, you mean more to me than I claim.
Love making us crazy and insane.
Why do I care so much?
Maybe I don't think its a good idea.
To love someone who will leave you all alone.
Comfort needed.
Emotional self-destruction setting the tone.
We may not be meant for each other.
But I know I can treat you better.
As a lover and friend.
A bond we can not break.
A genuine concern for our well being.
It's wrong, but you catch me before I hit rock bottom.
Just so you know.
Life got us stuck in one place.
Trying to get away.
Somehow you are always there.
I always put the world in my hands.
No matter how hard we try.
Our heart wants what the heart wants.
Even though mine is torn.
Wondering why I care so much.
We can't hold on.
But I can smile every time.
You cross my mind sometimes.
Get me wondering
Why I gave up the first time.

Subtle Pressures and Drastic Decisions

Monday, June 10, 2013 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

Tell me where I went wrong. 
Life is like a bad repeat of a song. 
Subtle but durable
Wallowing in my own emptiness.
My emotions pure and simple. 
No one is truly there to listen. 
I could care less about this life
But willing to help a hand without a price. 
I do want to press reset. 
That's a simple test. 
I can't necessarily press reboot
That is a borderline mess. 
I can fast forward
To the dreams I can move towards
But it seems to backfire
Or possible self destruct like a short circuited telephone wire. 
There are 7 billion people on this planet I have not met. 
Or have the chance to meet whether I want to or not.
195 countries I have not visited yet. 
That is something I need to sort out. 
Yet I'm stuck in this insignificant town
Being pressures into making decisions about my future. 
When I barely know who I am or to be found.
