here is my heart,
here it is.
you are reading it.

"why do poets
have this courage?"

"what courage?"

"to be open."

"we were the caged.
we were the voiceless.
but now,
we are not.
don't let our courage make you believe
we have always been brave."

i love you all just wanna say this

When you' re close to me
The air is thick like honey
Denser than cement

Maybe it's the heat..

Summers

Through winters I long
For summers to come
And then they come
And I hate them
I'm always escaping
Never a part of the world
Through daytime I long
For the night's veil to fall
But it falls on me
Heavy like a rope net
I'm always waiting
Life always on hold

Static

I had good intentions when I first found you
You seemed like the missing piece to my unsolved puzzle.
But time blurred the lines - the world grew loud,
And I left you on a shelf to gather dust.

I was chasing a dream, but I couldn’t make it in time. Now, as days, months, and years pass, it feels distant; almost foreign. I don’t know, to be honest. I’m just trying to figure things out.

Perception Of Time

Perception Of Time

Time is slow, time is fast.
It never stops, but it always lasts.
It's time for bed, it's time for school.
To waste your time is to be a fool.

If the time is right, the timing will be perfect.
Having the time of your life will always be worth it.
Some spend their time mad,
Some spend their time sad.
For some people time is all they ever had.

Some spend their time and some people save it.
Some love wasting time and some people hate it.
People waste time being in jail
People waste time being mad when they fail.

Some people have lots of time to spare.
Others spend their time not having a care.
It's time to stop, it's time to go.
Time can move fast or it can move slow.

You can lose yourself or lose your mind,
But as life goes on you will never lose time.

been thinking about time and passing. (draft)

Elise.

A beautiful girl Elise
Whose laughter and
Smile would always
Bring us all peace and love
And her smile was so bright
It lights the stars up every night
Making worries and troubles all cease.

Israel executed Elise today in Gaza with a bullet to the head.

She was 12 years old.

He begged for pieces of me, then called them ugly.

He begged for pieces of me, then called them ugly.

You kissed my scars..
Then mocked the blood.

You wanted a girl,
To replace the one you lost
Not grief
Not pain,
Not me.

You saw my soul,
and flinched..
I cried and begged for you,
Till I choked and loved
And you said, “too much.”

I shattered and you said I was too loud,
I begged,
You lied,
I broke.

Fairness of Death

Fairness of Death

The only thing fair in life is death,
It comes for everyone,
Young or old,
Good or Evil,
Beautiful or unsightly.

It doesn’t discriminate,
It’s not plagued by the modernity of society,
It is just,
And unbiased.
It doesn’t care who you are,
Or what you are.

Everything created,
Must be destroyed,
And what destroys better than death?

A Day

A Day

I just want a day,
where it doesn’t feel like i'm falling apart anymore,
A day i feel completely okay
But such a day will never exist,
Will it?

Writers hurt,
In a way no one can hurt
We dont cry,
We bleed on paper.

And i will forever bleed on paper,
Everyday;
For the rest of
My years.

But I let the same problems steal these tears,
It’s not a choice,
I’m tired every day.

I just want a day.
where it doesn’t feel like i'm falling apart anymore,
A day.
