it's our laughter that
bound us;
the moment of camaraderie
new friendship being born
unsure whether this'll be thorn
or storm
and i sat there, torn
unsure where to go from here
a welcoming clasp
palm on palm, fingers
coiled around one another
a peace treaty, a clap of agreement
a silent pact between us
" i gotchu"
a " thank you"
a smile here
a couple more there
am offer for selfless help
and pride in me
pride in you
teamwork.
teamwork,
that forged out friendship
and i thank you
for all your help
all of it.

man i'm tired of being sad
my eyes are sore from crying
it has to get better eventually
so that's why i keep trying

Maybe, she's just tired
Maybe, she's just sad
Maybe, she's just too weak to handle the pressure
But,
She's tired
She's sad
She's too weak to handle the pressure
And when she closed her eyes
She see herself in water
An anchor on her ankle
Making her drown
To her tiredness
To her sadness
To her weakness
And maybe,
Maybe she's better to be drown anyway.
I'm back with my anxiety..

as the devil would come after it

The world is at war
fighting a bitter battle
a no gun or bullet battle

It's an unusual war
that requires us all
to kneel down

kneel down and fight
fight with a prayer
and through quarantining  

It attacks us like a whirlwind
and the flight is out of necessity
but fighting  is a necessity

feh
I knew you
Were the one
When you said

You could only finish
33.334% of a *** of
Kraft Mac n Cheese

For I myself
Can finish no more
Than 66.667%
a simple poem with countless deeper meanings
