I have found
that there are
no certainties,
nothing that
one may truly
claim as their own.
Torn from my hand
was your heart,
and you have sought
to devour my soul
through manifestations
that have charred
the walls of my mind.

Literature
Broken Free
Don't tell me
What to do
I don't care
What you think.
Don't tell me
The rules
They're meant
To be broken.
Don't tell me
I'm wrong
I know
I'm right.
So what if
I'm different.
I'm not
A molded figure.
I'm different,
Free
Of the
Rules.
Everything is meant
To change.
Nothing is
Forever.
The normal
Exists to be broken.
Literature
Confusion of the Soul
Confusion
All around me,
this world of rage and sin,
Engulfs. Overwhelms.
And I am forced to retreat further within.
Literature
Ever After
I don't believe in fairy tales
no magically ever after.
I don't wish upon stars
or pray to god.
I'll leave that to dreamers and pastors.
When it comes to life,
I make my own way.
I don't take handouts or favors.
Just stubborn pride
that lingers inside.
Despite the hardships I've faced.
No miracles
or lucky sprees in Vegas.
No dreams of winning the lottery.
I'll take my own fate
and all that awaits.
I'll make my own ever after.

After reading many of your works before, it has convinced me that your work is becoming quite contemporary. I just feel at ease when reading it -- everyone can relate in some way, shape, or form to your work, because it's simplicity packed with power.
Some readers feel the need to use archaic language and whatnot to make for a powerful poem, and I can say I am guilty for that, or maybe it's just my style, I don't know.
Anyways, your writing gets better and better each read. Thank you for sharing!
