lose everything
still pay a price
do anything for love
still consumed by hate
take all roads to freedom
still imprisoned in myself
I tried to
show me
Why I
loathe me
I sit in
the dark
Cause I can't
stand me
Doesn't matter if
I say
I'm sorry
to myself
There's no
forgiving me
I know that
the thing
That disgusts me
is me

Where I come from - food looks perfect but always tastes watery.
Here, cucumber and tomatoes have mineral arteries.

Nomadic crypto bros enjoy fruity conversations.
French girls showing me apps that map constellations.

It's funny how new connections still leave me in solitude.
Even when the reasons for leaving home seem to collude.

All we see and feel is ultimately our own.
Promising futures in our countries have sadly flown.

Most seem to be fleeing, rather than becoming.
I've never been religious - but this must be my second coming.

I enjoy the relief of not weighing anyone's opinion.
Living fully, no longer my ego's minion.

First nights spent silently at a jazz festival.
Instead of hiding and crying - behind my self-built wall.

I've been afraid of writing without a broken soul as the source.
I hope you find your strength - you too, could do it of course.

No need to be like me, leaving everything behind.
Maybe just for once, to yourself, simply be kind.

I wish I could share this feeling of love.
Believe me when I say: your life can in fact fit like a glove.
I've always been overly self aware (and still am now) but now the thoughts I can finally bear


Everything is temporary, that includes depression.

Tonight, the moon hangs soft and wide
A silver hush across the tide
She doesn’t speak, but still she hears
The quiet weight of all our years

She knows the ones who dream too loud
And those who vanish in the crowd
She watches lovers drift apart
And still believes in every heart

A mirror lit with borrowed light
She turns the dark to something bright
Not blazing, no — she simply glows
And somehow that’s enough, she knows

So if you’re lost or feel unseen
Look up, the sky is not so mean
The moon is patient, calm, and true
And every night, she waits for you
A longing obsession

Even deep in depression

One topic always rises above

An unknown poem writer

A frequent run hider

With ink always dripping with love
But you're not in love

It's always been limerence
