The Lotus Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces Emergency, heartbeat increases Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning

Thoughts As I lay in bed at the late time, my mind is focusing on making this rhyme. Things aren't so great with uni being hard, when I'm sat in class I label myself 'tard'. How much more can I take with #depression so strong, why does 6 months seem so long. My weight has increased.. I'm feeling disgusting and fat, people must think 'at least I don't look like that' So it's almost 6am and not a wink in sight, who knew sleep could put up a fight. So help me now with words so kind, to ease the pain if the over active mind.

Another ? Now I stand 24 years young, how many more years can I surely have fun. The love I feel for that certain one, has wilted away, just an empty gun. A new challenger awaits with a bullet in hand, pretty soon we'll be walking on sand. See love is strange and everyone knows, you cannot change the ones you've chose. So if its really not there and you're feeling empty, there's someone out there that's screaming come get me.

That Feeling... We've all been there the anticipation rises, we look for an escape to avoid the crisis. The nerves we feel make our bodies shake, tongue goes dry how much more can you take. Heart beat pounds inside your chest, picking your nails you can only do your best. So when the time comes for you to go, always remember I love you so. When you're stood there broken and your heart is peeling, remember my love you can beat this feeling. * These #poems come straight from my heart in light of difficult times ahead*

Moving Away The road is long and the path is clear, You knew I was going and would no longer be near. The time we've had has been some of the best, You're my first real gay love, you're above all the rest. I may be gone living time zones apart, I really don't mean to break both our hearts. This is a choice I've made from so long ago, meeting you last year it's been one hell of a show. So please don't hate me I hope we can stay friends, I really hope we can amends. Our paths are going their own separate ways, but I'll always remember we were such perfect gays. Technology is advanced we can still communicate, I really don't want to lose you as my closest mate. I love you despite what happens. *This #poem reflects the difficult choice I face in ending my relationship due to me leaving the country. It's one of the hardest points in my #life so far. Thank you for reading*
