I wish I had bright eyes

And a soul full of life

But I'm covered in clean skin

In a house full of lies

-Kaya
People are like water

They all seem the same

But taste different

-Kaya
You stole a plant
watered it
And expected it grow
but as days pass by
You see no change
And you slowly start to know
That it was made of plastic
-Kaya
My mind,
A hollow sphere
My eyes,
A home for tears
My ears,
A room for fear
Where lie
the things I wish I didn't hear
My soul,
A cleansed temple
A temple that I wish
You could see

-Kaya
Sometimes,
I wish to see myself
in somebody else's shoes
I wish to not be myself
I wish to disappear
To a place
where my face and thoughts
Can't be seen or heard
Sometimes,
I long to know
What it feels like
To be in my own shoes
To be safe,
To feel safe, in my space
My fenceless shelter
A home without a roof

-Kaya
Why don't you grow
Dear seed,
that I did not sow
Asked the parent,
in sorrow

-Kaya
The needle
Completes a second

The needle
Completes a minute

The needle
Completes an hour

The needle
Completes and completes

Until the clock stops
Until silence arises,

the last tick tock

-Kaya
