Is a pair of spectacles needed
for you to clearly see me,
for you to perceive my worth,
and appreciate my existence?

He asked me if I was hurting
But I told him that I was not
He then asked why am I crying
And I couldn't voice out a response
I was stumped for a while
"Why are you crying?"
The question echoed in my mind
Why am I crying?
Am I still hurting?
But no, I don't feel anything
And so, why are these tears falling?
Then I realised.

Perhaps our eyes need to be cleansed by tears
To wash away the memories of yesteryears.

Sometimes
The panic
Is more dangerous
Than the pandemic

Mother hen-
Lead the way
Tell me when-
And where to stay.

I need a guide-
Through my life
A place to hide-
No more strife

Mother hen-
I'm sorry I lied
Fault of men-
I just can't cry.

I always thought we were the perfect match.
But matches are meant
                                   to ignite
                                         and burn out.
