Calm

The class was loud

So was my head


It banged and banged

As if trained to play drums


That ruckus you play

Keeps you at bay


You music taste is angry and weary

Just like your family


Maybe it’s better to sit in the dark

It opens the mind to brand new thoughts


The vile that you spilled

Seeks you at will


Posioning your mind for fun

Telling you that you are ā€œdumbā€


While a common man

ā€œaccidentall...

An Ode For Him

I wonder if you ever wonder about me,

Probably not, probably never.


I wonder if you have already fallen in love again,

Savoring the contrasting flavour.


I wonder if you remember our lives back then,

Inseparable, together, by night or day.


I wonder if you tell anyone around you about us,

Secrecy being your coveted forte.


I wonder if you agonize over the plethora of what ifs,

Daydreaming about s...

I’ve Always

I’ve always crushed on guys a little too easily,

but I don’t want to do that.


I’ve always had fleeting feelings for guys,

but I don’t want to have those.


I’ve always seen the best in every single person,

but I don’t want to see it.


I’ve always been a little too indecisive in types,

but I don’t want to be.


I’ve always been a little too book-invested,

but I don’t want to change.


I’ve always kep...

Love Storm

Today I will try to love

The storm is coming


I met someone of my dreams

The clouds are coming in


I got married and I’m happy

The rain starts to fall


It’s our one year anniversary

The wind picks up


We have a child

The trees fall


We been married for ten years

The houses are falling


My love came to have hope to rest

The storm destroyed the world...

Stormy Day

The sky is shadowed in gray

Just like the night


A storm is gathering

See on the horizon


The day will be tough

You can already tell


As wind starts picking up

And rain pores down


Of course the sky is actually sunny

The storm just in my head


But all I see is gray

Todays a bad day...

11:44

I love what I love.

And I love what I don’t.


I love who I love.

Even when I won’t.


I see who I am.

But I also see it in you.


I’ve been here before.

Yet somehow, it’s new....

Time

I am scared for

The future


I dwell too much on

The past


When I stare into the distant skies

The present is passing me by....

Justice For All

In valleys deep where shadows creep, the cries of men resound,

With hearts so true, they seek what’s due, in laws and rights profound.

Oh, justice fair, beyond compare, your scales of truth we hail,

With strength and grace, in every place, your light shall never fail.


From dawn till dusk, in iron trust, your banner we uphold,

In halls of stone, your voice has grown, more precious than pure gold.

...

Stain

You splash into my life effortlessly

Setting like a stain


I don’t carry Tide To Go and I won’t immediately put myself through the wash

I let you fade naturally


You’ll always be there in my fabric

But you don’t ruin my outfits anymore...
