That’s the way life is…
greatness wrapped in a tattered box,
lined with regret

hiding the truth
Fear and delight masquerading as one,
chanting behind the mask

If I would be born again
I'd be a humble leaf.
Leaves, when they fall in time,

And there wouldn't be too much sadness,

You scared me, jumping
At me from behind the couch
That was not funny

Shaking
Crying
Bleeding
Sighing

I need someone to hold me
In their arms
And tell me
That i'm going to be okay
I need it. Always.

I used to run in fear
Afraid of the thoughts in my head

They only make me stronger
The shadows want to protect me
If i get hurt along the way
It is my own fault
