we move through life
in PARALLEL LINES
like tire tracks
moving far and fast
and side-by-side
in sight of each other
the whole time
but never coming together

we move through life
in PARALLEL LINES
like a divided highway
stretching far and wide
and side-by-side
in sight of each other
the whole time
but never touching

I see my twin brother
One thin screen in us
I pulled my brother with my hand
He's not coming
The tanks are not coming
I cry
I'm my blood
Do not let others spread anywhere
The screen is between us
Mother breathed her breath;
Yet he is not coming.
Asked me; What is mother
Whether the substance? Whether its own mass, weight and space occupies?
I showed her mom's photo.
'Okay! Mother means a color photo? And asked.
I tried to convince him that there is no definition of mother in our universe.
Mother never objects, sometimes non-object, and feeling
If you want to see a mother, you will have to come to this universe.
He told me
Actually around the screen
Seconds will move the thorns
He'll turn his Universe
Maybe this can be found in the universe
 He may find the structural definition of the mother.
So, the Universe, it is better to let him stay in that universe.
I thought for a while; But as much as I mean, I'll never let my blood stay in another Universe. promise!
it is better to let him stay in that universe.

"In distant parallel dimension,
17 years ago we met,
And just like that, without intention
Our life became a single thread.

But then you left to roam the forest
And i got drafted in the rain.
We said goodbye, but we had promised
That someday we will meet again.

And so time passed, i split the army
And i had wondered where you’re at.
You traveled almost every country
On the vast Old World continent.

I came to meet you in a valley
Of vast, eternal, endless grass.
And from then on we wrote our story
Creating magic as we pass.

It feels a bit surrealistic
To know that somewhere in the world
This path has actually existed
And our story has been told.

But in our actual dimension,
Where our story won't be known.
We have to fight our intuition
So our lives will not be blown.

I think a lot about this concept,
Of spinning doors or simple fait.
If things do happen for a reason
What is the purpose of this pain?

This is a complicated feeling,
Conflicted between truth and hope.
I wish i understood the meaning,
Of life, the universe and Love."

I walk alleys and avenues of broken roads.
Black tops eroded from years of punishing
Rainfall, passerbys and time.

After a hard rain, shallow mirrors open up,
Revealing an unyielding world on its head.

It seems, as I walk amidst the distinguished,
Cracks, chips and pebbles that this moment,
Both real and a memory is everlasting.

Overcast, both dismal and hopeful, I read
Between the skylines of the upsidedown.

I breath in this parallel, I write it all down,
A collection of neverhaves.

A creation that is mine for the making, or
For the taking, should I wish.

What if we never happened in the first place?
When things turned different and you were in a different place
Far from mine
And there you're  doing way more fine
Than you are with me today
Just putting your heart in dismay

What if you happened with another
Will you be happier?
I feel like I'm just bringing you down
In a darkness myself can't cut down

I can't help but think that you were luckier
In a different world from ours where you can spend your days merrier

What if I wake up someday
Our paths never crossed in night neither in the day
And I'm the only one who remembers
For me the memories we had I remember them as a burning ember

I'm afraid when my ifs turns to be true
My ifs just continue to grew
I'm not sure if I can be fine
If finally, the world tells me you were never meant to be mine

i remembered the time
when i begged God to stop the night
because it was the closest i got to be with you
and then in an unexpected moment
the wish was granted

the city was still alive
and the electricity continued bursting outside
everything was noisy and crowded
but i got to cherish this lovely silence beside me
when i thought we are always moving forward
never crossing like two parallel lines in a universe
somehow there was going to be a divine intervention
that will keep us together
even in a short period of time

i heard your slow breaths
i felt your fluffy cheeks
i saw you in your beautiful grace
your hair moved in slow motion
and being the fool that i am
i captured every single thing

in an unexpected moment
i got to look at you
not looking at somebody else
like how you stare in awe
at your celebrity crushes

in an unexpected moment
i got to listen to you
not listening to somebody else
like how you still care about what other people think
after telling you there's really nothing to worry about

in an unexpected moment
i got to talk to you
not talking about somebody else
like how you describe every exact detail
of your special friends and families

and in that unexpected moment
i got to love you
not loving somebody else
like how you cry your heart out every night
wishing for that person to never say goodbye

i don't want to end this moment
but if i want to stay with you

i have to.

— parallel
inspired mostly by boy pablo's tkm and a special person in my life

hope you like it

I want to lay my face in your hands
And close my eyes.
Your hands - those thick and strong hands.
So much bigger than mine.
I miss your face so much.
How I long to touch you - because I never have.
And never will.
Not in this lifetime.
So... I want to believe that parallel universes do exist.
And just may be in one of them, I do get to touch you.
You never showed any signs but I'd just humour myself - I'd believe you want the same things as me.
So, I dream of a parallel universe with you and me in it - together.

My life got flipped upside down
Today was the day I finally realized something:
Something that I would get bullied for,
Something that I could get killed for.
I am a minority.
This is me coming out.
"Mom. Mother. I'm straight.
I know this is difficult for you to
understand--No. Mother. Please don't get mad.
It's not a phase.
Mom. Don't cry.
I'm still your daughter..."
That night I got kicked out.
I had to start a new life.
I wasn't accepted anymore.
Why has the world come to this?
Why can't I be accepted as me?

This is the reality that the LGBTQ+ community has to face every single day. This is the sad world we live in. In this day and age, we should learn to accept people no matter their race, gender, sexuality, or lifestyle. Teens get kicked out of their homes everyday. They get abused: mentally, physically, and emotionally. They have to go through everyday life dealing with the horrible reality of not being accepted. This world needs to change. We need to make a change. I'm tired of hearing slang yelled at me in the hallway. I'm tired of seeing my friends getting kicked out on the streets. I'm tired of noticing bruises on people just because of who they love. Let's make a change. We need to change reality.
