.......restrained

I feel like a fool
I can’t even look at you
Because I know that my eyes
Can’t hide and you can see pass
All the lies
Can’t help but feel blue
When you’re around I just don’t know what to do
I feel like all my energy is drained
My heart is filled with pain
You were the only one who could make me sane
And this shameful feeling is killing me making me insane
I wish it would go away so I no longer felt restrained

HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

Everyone as individuals have rights that are attached to you since your existence. This does not only apply for citizens of the United States or are not only applied in the United States. Even as an undocumented immigrant you are still entitled to some rights, not only in the U.S but anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of this and therefore are taken advantaged of by other people, organizations or even national governments. This is a constant issue that affects many people globally and in some cases it is a threat to an extinction of an entire group! Genocides are a major form of human violation; there have been much genocide that endangered many ethnics and religious groups. In fact, today we are witnessing the suffering or many men, women, and children dying in Darfur. People are being dehumanized, tortured, and discriminated against.

Aside from the constant injustice and heartless acts, what surprises me the most is the fact that although many of us, fortunate people who do not to go through so much hardship, do not do much to help our brothers and sisters. We become self-centered with our own problems and neglecting others. If we were more concerned for one another and more accepting towards one another less people would have to suffer. This is one of my major goals when I grow up to help those who are uninformed or too weak to fight for their human rights; as well as encouraging others to do the same.

i felt as if i gave out my heart to some one
and they tore it into pieces
in front of my face n dropped it in the ground and
set it on flame and
looked right into my eyes
and then walked away

its funny it how someone can
impact your life in such a strong way

compatibility

Compatibility

Many are deceived
into thinking one must share similarities
it's sad to know that when it comes
to love all people are share is ignorance
they can't comprehend that love is acceptance

It is shaping your flaws
in form of a man or woman
it is to look into their eyes and embrace
them

they are your gifts God sent
they define and complete you
they love you for the very
reason that sets you apart
your heart

the heart that only speaks one language
that only another comprehends
something so strong distance cant separate
It is the very thing that never makes you loose faith
by Indira Alvarez

I didn't leave

I didn't leave

I didn't leave
you just decided not to stay
you left me all alone
and just walked away

you didn't hear
what I had to say
and when I tried to get close
you pushed me further away

I was patient
by you side everyday
I saw you change
you no longer cared
you didn't want to stay

but I held on,
loving you, hoping
that one day, again
you also may

I tried to make things
right. figure out what I did
wrong. Were you punishing
me? I was willing to pay.
Anything as long as you stayed.

I lost faith
so I let go
and watch you runaway
so you see I didn't leave
you just decided not to stay
