Poetry of Rafael

I post and reblog music, art, and, of course, poetry.

[mindfulverses]

I wish someone would put me first

Even just for a little while

That way I can learn

How to treat myself

[mindfulverses]

I miss the feeling of wanting to find love

Maybe I’m tired of being lonely

Or the nostalgic innocence of a young man is still there

Because now I’m just jaded

The philosophy of ‘self-improvement’ has gotten to the point

Where I care too much about what I want to do in life

that I feel like nobody else cares

I distance the idea of someone coming too close

and don’t allow people to form the bonds

necessary to fall in love

Maybe I’ve accepted that I have commitment issues

and I miss not coming to terms with that

[mindfulverses]

I used to spend so much time in my own head

Thinking maybe I could be someone,

Someone I looked up to, and go somewhere other than here

But now, I just want me

to recognize that all I have to be

is here,

is now

being me

Too little too late

is the name of the game

It seems, like always, things sorta messed up

And I'm the one to blame

Advice

The world owes you nothing.

 Not even advice.

 Most people give it.

 Just to be nice.

 Accept it or reject it 

And roll the dice.

 It is your choice.

No one can burst

The same bubble twice.

Trying to feel confident in my own skin. Maybe. Someday.

Ten word story

[late-nights-and-daydreams]

“Dear readers, This is me. All of me. My emotions, my thoughts, my sins, my joys, in their purest form given directly to you. This is who I am when no ones looking, this is the inner workings of my mind. These are the words that I wish I could say out loud. This is all my insecurities, all my doubts, all my wrongs, all my mistakes, all the pain I caused, all my addictions, all my faults. This is every bad angle and every bad side of me you could imagine. This is Also me. My joys, my happiness, my rights, my attempts at healing wounds, my warrior moments, my fighter spirit, my favorite things in the world. This is me in every good angle and every good lighting you can imagine. I will share all of this with you, dear reader, Whoever you may be. I will bare my soul and my mind laying out the contents for you. All I ask is that you are careful. Because people never realized that if they were to do the same, they wouldn’t look so pretty in the harsh light either. I am showing the darkest depths of my soul, do not treat them like this Is who I always am. dear reader, Please. Be careful with me. I’m trusting you. yours forever, the author”

Today we’re so entitled to our social right

that we’ve forgotten to do what’s right

Taking care of each other

This earth, our mother
