I am lovely,
a lover,
and loved.
It’s something that won’t
ever be can’t be taken from me
because I have known humanity in every corner,
in every age,
and they all are so eager
to love and be loved
that my Mariana Trench heart is always full.

I admit that I am confident in myself.
I believe that I will succeed in what I want to do,
and no one can stop me
because I know the secret of life.

I'll tell you a secret.
I make adults insecure sometimes
because I have ideas,
and I push to make them a reality
even when adults don't.

My mom told me:
Your mentor feels weird
because she's five years older than you,
and she's still learning things from you,
but I learn from you every day,
and I'm more than twenty years older than you.

Time
Just an abstract concept stuck in the beings of reality.
The cause of everything or something. Of pain and healing.
They say it mends all wounds, but what is it really?
Four letters in the English language used to describe the motions of the universe.
Because for there to be nothing there has to be something, right?

Time
The curse and the blessing of life.
It signals the gentle light of the beginning and the crushing darkness of the end.
We wait for answers, but they are already present.
Humans are just not intelligent enough to comprehend them.
One day we will wake up to find that everything is gone. But was it ever really here?

Time
A single word that is said too much but not enough.
Letters of mixed meanings and dying memories.
Of fading and remembering.
Of hate and love.
Because we have never felt anything until we experience the true suffering of our existence.

Time
Of infinite years and more.
Because our minds are made of the entire universe in a single body of cells.
We say that pain is the real reason for suffering,
But they are just chemical messages being sent from our brains.
We are coming to our demise even before we are aware of our waking.



Time
Because the end will come before our beginnings
And we are just trapped in the endless circle of life and death.
When we return to the endless spread of stars,
We may be the start of a new form of life.
And we may cause the very end of our worlds.

But all that will happen with time.

I cannot wait
I really can't
I
Can't
Wait

If I ever get married
If God has that in my stars

God, will it be great

There's no distance I wouldn't go for them

Pain now is temporary
And those eyes will always hold a glint for me
I will--am chasing that glint
Until I belong to them,
And they want to belong to me

Until that silver shines through me
Amplifying
My eyes, my nose, my mouth,
Everything.

Until that light reflects back
Brighter to them
Hopefully
Than my open, vulnerable, enamored,
Eyes received them
Though I know I'll never believe it if they say so

Look!
There

I can see it now,
Can you?
The flash from their eye?
As quick as their breeze walking past,
But twice as warming
Now their smile!
A smile
I would bear the rest of my life
alone
If only at my final conscious sight
I would see it
Once
In person

it's better when you whisper it
even though we shouldn't
be talking about it at all
