We don't know each other,
We have not seen each other.
Yet, we are bound together
by an invisible thread of emotions
in this world of words .

Together we stand ,
   with each other ,
    for each other.

I remember smiling brightly
and laughing
when talking about you–
as if you were still alive.
I don’t know who I was lying to,
if to them,
to your memory
or to myself.

Rain , rain falling
Cool drops on my face
Enjoying my space
Rain, rain falling
I hear you calling
Misty warm air
Everything
Crystal clear
Rain, rain falling
When will I see you
I hear you calling
No more falling
Only laughter
Forget the pain
No more rain

i smile

    (like i’m fine)

        but

each word  
        each look  
              each silence  

          chips away

                and

     i sink,

                 slowly  
                        quietly  
                              invisibly

     until

       nothing.

         just
             me

               pretending
                  to be
                    okay.

When raindrops fall,
rivers are formed.

When teardrops fall,
epic poems are born.

Parents always tell their daughters:
"Don't stay late, it's not safe."

Can't parents tell their sons:
"Don't disrespect, do not ****.
They too are human beings,
just like you are."
