When something comes to an inevitable close
That it will not matter anymore
That may end up forgotten by most
And why it is even there just to hurt, shame, or bore
You have to just remember
That what happens back then, no matter how atrocious or strange
That what you did yesterday or in September
Are just ways to make you learn how to change
Because life is packed with changes that serve as a s...
When I was a kid, I have many dreams. All of my thoughts were about how to make it happen. So, just like others, fighting for what I believed. Along the way, ups and downs, happy and sadness, brought even more joy to my daily life. I was hopeful for the future and confident that my dreams will become true.
All these wonderful things suddenly stopped as a unexpected event striked me. I was dia...
Is your depth perception skewed?
I wonder as I’m just looking at you.
This being one of my first glances and thoughts.
Maybe it’s just completely shot.
You see the surface and are aware.
Yet to you that’s all that’s really there.
The chest at the middle of the maze,
is something you search for many days.
Perhaps you lack intuition.
Or is my pessimism just a condition,
you wouldn’t want to...
In a world of shadows, where darkness did reside,
A soul emerged, battered, but with a flicker deep inside.
A rough childhood, a path filled with pain,
But a new beginning awaited, like a gentle rain.
As the years went by, this soul grew strong,
Learning to rise above the things that went wrong.
With every setback, they found the strength to cope,
Nurturing resilience, filling their heart with ho...
Everyday I wake up and the sun rotates the entire way around the Earth just to say hi to me
And on days I’m stricken with insomnia the moon stays up just to keep me company
The sky is a canvas of blue that changes colors each day to suit the paint in its canvas
Black at night to let the stars shimmer brilliantly like gemstone piercings on the velvet fabric of reality
Shades of every color to ...
If only I face the past
So this life of mine will last
If only I didn’t fear the ruin
Too many loose screws to screw in
Yet, here I am stuck on a ledge
Only way is back which I can’t kedge
If I stay here I go nowhere
If I leave the fears will ensnare
But I am already covered in scars
From my skin, my heart, emotional bars
So I turn, make my way back
Yes, I faced all that I lack
And you ...
Chill winds carry dark tidings —
death whispers on unseen wings.
A heavy white blanket covers the land.
Silence.
The freeze is indiscriminate;
it takes all —
trees, animals, humans, plants, life.
Gone.
Through the snow, life struggles.
Pushing past flakes and ice —
a sprout.
Life renewed....
The forest is quiet.
Even the trees are still,
Expectant for the first
Glimpse of sunrise.
Even the lake, which
Was covered in whitecaps
All day, is perfectly still.
If it were colder, I’d think
The lake was frozen
From an early bout of
Winter, too early
For the snow.
There. A song
Pierces the air,
Splitting over the water.
A pinecone falls from
A tree, thudding against
The ground before
Rollin...
Thinking this would be it
The new start
But ones again I am the quiet kid
In the shadows
Hidden from all the shining people I see from my corner
I love watching them
Though I can not help but wonder
What if I was that shining light
What if I was the one, that everyone wanted on there side
What if I was out
Dancing in the light
But no
No… I am in the shadows everyone passes without even lookin...
