i wish i could go back in time
and see my younger self
and warn him
that it would only get worse
im relapsing with depression again. i miss how it used to be

i have a sadness lurking in me
the base of every poem i write
the core of my love
as i give myself papercuts
from your letters
and your poems
and i sit quietly
in the shadow
of your starlight.

I CANNOT TELL
WHETHER MY PAIN IS FAKE OR REAL
ALL THEY ASK IS HOW I FEEL
I HATE MYSELF
Roses are red
Netanyahu is a swine
I pray to the Lord for
A free Palestine

One day I'll grow wings,
So big and strong.
Not fragile, not weak
Like my shattered soul.

One day I'll grow wings and stand tall,
And I wont give up, wont fall.
As the astronaut reaches it's Moon,
I'll be there waiting for you.

One day I'll grow wings and die,
A destiny that is meant for us all.

What I truly feel
doesnโ€™t survive the telling.

It breaks
on the edge of languageโ€ฆ
leaving only
a softened version
for others to understand.

while the real thing
keeps burning quietly
where no words can reach.

Some truths are not spoken - they are endured in silence.

You are more radiant than the sun
my words lean upon
you like gravity pushes us down
but in those sounds
are the meanings that ground
my very existence
and life
if anything relates to you
it tends to send me into a dreaming state
Scheming late
to win you at all costs
in this game of life
which trees survive frosts
to bear fruit
like actions
you are more than a distraction
you are my everything
and yet I keep coming back
and I am taken
my heart is awakened not bored
I live aboard your wishes
which dance like dandelion seeds
on the wind
I love you I love you I love you lots.

They asked me once,
โ€œWhy do you always take the hard path?โ€

I said,
โ€œItโ€™s not that I choose it
Itโ€™s just the only path I see.โ€

Not all of us are given options.

Some roads are rough
because thatโ€™s all there is.
Sometimes, life doesnโ€™t offer a choice between easy and hard - it simply gives a road, and we walk it.

Lost in a world i knew so well,
Locked myself up in my own hell,
Losing friends,
Hoping that it finally ends,
And sets me free from my own prison.

False beliefs,
Trying to find relief from the grief
Of an alive person,
A brother, a son,
He's still here,
But i believe he's gone.
i might take a break from writing (i know i keep saying this, i'm sorry) because i quite literally went into psychosis and i can barely function, not even mentioning writing. btw yes, im getting help, it just doesn't really work tbh
