Fledge peered over what felt like a limitless expanse. Even with how tiny Buzzy appeared, Fledge could tell what she was doing. Any time Buzzy noticed a bit of water on the ground, she would stare at it for… well… too long. Buzzy wanted to make sure that each feather was in its place. So instead of trying to find a way back to Fledge, Buzzy was obsessing over her image.
Fledge squawked loudly at ...
I **try**
And I **try**
And I **try**
And I **try**
My effort stretched for **miles**
If laid out in a **line.**
Higher than **high**
My goals in the **sky**
I did everything I could
To bring them to **life**
I **tried**. I really did.
The late **nights**
Little sleep
Lost track of **time**

Hope fades
So does the light
The waters of the sea of grief
Close in around me
Tight
I try to swim for where it was
I try to scream for there it was
And now it’s gone.
I claw desperately at salted air
Green blue and dark
And I am there
Drowning there
For there it was
And now it’s gone
When all hope fails, what do we rely on?...
_it’s just a game_
_it’s just a game _
_calm down _
_your overreacting _

we played board games when we were little.
they warned us of capitalism.
we didn’t hear their words for we were too busy c̶h̶e̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ winning
_it’s just a game _

When the final piece falls
The hero sits alone
Counts his days
From his broken throne
The people turn ‘round
To look nowhere
There is nothing to see
And nothing worth care
Streets wet with the blood
Of wishes and dreams
Husks of souls, too
Ripped at the seams
Cold in a dark cell
Shreds of hope cry
And sink to the floor
To wait there and die...
When all hope fails, we turn within,
To where the quiet whispers sing,
The shadows cast by doubt and fear,
Become the echoes we hold dear.
The world outside, a storm of woe,
Each step we take, a heavy blow,
Yet in the heart, a spark remains,
A stubborn flicker in the veins.
We seek the solace of the night,
When dreams and memories ignite,
A past where joy and laughter reigned,
A future where the...
The chasm of the void calls to me
The instinct of fleeing would not benefit my well-being
But when all hope fails
Where do you go?
Do you plea to the gods ?
Hail to deities ?
Now get on your knees
Scratch your nails in the dirt
And pray that this won’t hurt
Let the emotions flow
Let your body drown
Because nobody can save you
Your body will never be found
Only you can be your sav...
When all things seem down
When all things seem really bad
When everything is crashing to the ground
When everything is making you feel so sad
There is always one thing we can rely on
There is always one thing we possess
That will not fade away, never be gone
That can help us get through this mess
That one thing is to wait
To wait until everything has passed
That inevitably is in a different sta...
God.
hopes comes from him.
we rely on him.
weather hope fails or achieves,
he’s the motor of our dreams.
hmmm, doubt enters our lives at some point.
We go to God with a genuine heart and he gives us back our hope we lost.
cause something made us lose it.
right?
life is full of falseness dressed in truth.
they say, “never lose hope”,
it’s possible,
yet difficult.
in between hides the spark we...
The sun dips low
The sidewalks darken
I frantically glance around
For any sign of light
But the sky
Steals it all
Every single flicker
Is gone within seconds
They all skip ahead
With their little firefly jars
While I’m left in the dusk
No flying insect in sight
The darkened sky
Dims every little starlight
In the depths of my
Newly hopeless soul
Like a broken seed
In a field of roses
