i guess what saddens me
isn't the distance
but rather,
the unshared memories
and new stories written
without you being in it
To my friends who are leaving this year.
I’m sad about you leaving, but not as much as knowing that you may no longer be a part of my life as big as you are right now. Everyone says we can always keep in touch. But the truth is, after a time of separation, we just start to lose connection. Everyday messages become scarce, Skype calls are long gone. The only interactions we'd have are Instagram likes and seeing unfamiliar faces along with yours on my feed.

I'll miss you guys, and I'll miss all the memories we have had together.

the answers we seek
in history, has been taught
time and time again
yet we never learnt

only if it wasn’t fictional and i got infected,
don’t even bother thinking about
my plan to remove the flowers i had
in my lungs-
if that means i’ll have to feel
completely numb
towards your presence afterwards.

because you are
someone whose all my senses
have always been so familiar with,
and as much as i can barely breathe
through the roots that planted deep
in my soul,
i am more than willing to be able to live
with this feelings for you.

though you really are the reason
that suffocates me,
i am afraid that i can’t differentiate
whether it was flowers or happiness
that clogged up my neck.

then i’ll choose to keep them growing
and even water them gently
with many endearing thoughts of you

until the time will come
and the flowers finally drowning me in,
i won’t ever blame you
for making this love
becomes the death of me
- to love without asking anything in return

writing is where i feel the most at peace,
the most honest i've ever been with myself

i don't feel the pressure
to create visually enchanting pieces,
nor do i feel the need
to impress or to please

i write so selfishly,
so inwardly,
so unapologetically;

as if the world is mine,
as if it revolves around me,
and will continue to do so,
as long as words keep flowing like spilled ink
on marble

with every letter that i scribe,
i build a bridge to dreamland;
with every word i craft,
i fill the tank with gasoline
and give myself the wings
to fly

because you could claim
that you've taken everything
that made me who i am,
but you could never take away my words
which i have so intricately
sewed onto my tongue

because for as long as my words live,
i live;
and as long as my words thrive,
i'll fly.
this is not a perfect poem by any means, and certainly not my best work. but it is by far the most raw, most honest piece i've written. i felt a great amount of love for this art as i wrote this at 1 am, and i hope that you can feel some amount of it as well.

twinkle twinkle pretty eyes
stop whining crying every night
you don’t deserve his useless lies
you should see he’s not right

twinkle twinkle pretty eyes
i wish to see you finally smile
twinkle twinkle beautiful eyes
oh how i wish you are mine

Wish

i asked the genie
if i could get a five wish
instead of three
“my lady, the more the wish,
the more you greed,
so now let me grant your wishes”
and so I told the mighty genie
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
that’s it, now tell me if it’s greed
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
“don’t let him forget me”
