I’ve reduced my pool of friends to a handfulIt’s better to keep those you can rememberFor when life gets a little lonely and sorrowfulThere’s not a long list of phone numbers To call in the dead of the night,Or even when the sun is out shining so bright,To tell of my daydreams and nightmares,To share… Read more

Growing up I was told to quiet down and sit stillKill my happiness and surrender my freewillForced to smile to people I’ve just metTo respect them even when they didn’t earn it Always had to keep my back straightFor it’s unladylike to be crooked and look exhaustedNobody wants a woman who doesn’t follow the rulesMade… Read more

You light the matches while I burnedTo keep you warm when it got coldIn my garden I watered your sorrowsI picked you even with all your thorns In the dark I kept your spark from dying outKept your wounds closed so you don’t bleed outEven when I was asleep I answered your callsEvery recorded messages… Read more

And if I suddenly disappearWill I find missing posts about me?Who would dare to join the search party?The days would be long and nights’ lonelyThe whispers in the darkEyes glistening with unshed tearsNobody would dare to utter a single wordFor it could cut like a knife in your chestsThe memories would come flooding outPulse quickening… Read more

My anxiety has been lying to meIt made me believe that I don’t deserve to be happyBut the truth is far from what I call realityA life that no one can ever take away from me The past years left my thoughts in derangementMy scales tip off, unbalanced and waywardBut my body refuse to accept… Read more

When sleep doesn’t come I welcome the nightFor my dreams come alive after midnightSlowly they unravel, twinkling in the night skyThe darkness seems to fade replaced by moonlight My heart gets full with hope and reveriesPumping with resolve to end all my miseriesArmed with the sudden urge to defeat all my enemiesAnd end this raging… Read more

Unrequited love hurts more than an open woundThe scars don’t heal at allNo physical evidence that you’ve moved onNothing you can use even for closure It’s like putting down a good bookYou’ve always wanted to know the endingBut you’re too scared to lookToo anxious it might not have a happy ending They say to love… Read more

Here comes the rainPouring mercilessly againThe scent of fresh beginningsFlows down upon our graves The freezing wind it accompaniesCarries our obscure thoughts awayInto an empty funeral for our buried dreamsWhere only the dead can hear the living The gray skies matching our dull eyesCareful not to wake the demons insideThe roaring thunders sang like lullabiesPlaying… Read more

It’s the middle of the nightAnd I find myself longingAll those sleepless nights I’d doJust to keep the conversation going The suppressed laughsThe glow on my faceThe butterflies insideEverything felt like a haze Where did all the time go?I really didn’t want to let you goBut how was I supposed to knowThat was the end… Read more
