I was made to be on top by God,
But I became a tool that only nods.
I see myself — I know I’m better,
But I can’t control it… and that’s what’s bitter.

I want to live as my true self,
But became someone who hides from himself.
I knew I needed a pause, a break,
But they yelled, “Stop? For God's sake?”

So I paused… and quietly broke.
Now I can’t hit back — I’m sinking slow.
In a lake of silence, deep and wide,
I watch the real me — float outside.
This is for the version of me that never got the chance to grow. I didn’t fall behind — I just wasn’t allowed to catch up.
You left,

but love stayed,

and so did pain.
The silent winds
whispering a breeze
of memories, yet unborn  
like a breath of air
inward against my face
with the scent of beings
on a journey across the dunes
You picked me like a flower
harmless, beautiful and trusting.

said I was special.

then tossed me aside for another.

Was betrayal always part
of your touch?
short ig, didn't rlly cooked
The more it hurts

The more you realize

The depth of your own love.
I still mourn for you
Although you're alive
Living a normal life
I mourn for the future
That had you in it
I mourn for the death
Of the dreams we had
Crying every night
For a love lost once
I mourn for the version
Of us smiling together
I am pleading with anyone
Bring back what is gone
Because I am tired
Of mourning the loss
Of whom I loved
