Your smile gives me butterflies in my stomach,
I hear happy music no one else can hear,
Every day is a dream.
I'm so happy, even boredom sings.

I can write a hundred lines of stories,
I can sing happy songs,
But when you’re near, I’m overwhelmed—
Did I just eat my tongue?

Myriad of feelings, my love,
I can’t understand why I just let you fly.
A lost love, a forgotten dream,
But forever, my boredom sings.
Bernardo Cruz May 14
It is as it is, although I'm afraid.
What will happen will happen —
and I can't do nothing.

Although I wrestled
with study
and anticipation…
It is as it is.
It is as it is.

A prayer is all I need
to guide my feet,
and my hand —
against this fleeting time.

It is as it is.
God’s word I will embrace —
to give me light
and my worries erase.

I wrestle with the stars
Crushed diamond under my hand

In my Jungle Lion is not a king

Famous people are my community
They adored me
But

That’s all imaginary
Imaginary community

Feeling loved via Fantasy
While reality bites me
While self-hate surrounds me
Ill embraced this immortal

Fantasy
Time Will Pass
I know.
Decay,
I know.

Why I'm here,
I don't know.
My purpose,
I don't know.

Keep searching,
Keep hunting,
In this cycle, I know.

Like smoke,
Present now,
Gone tomorrow.

May the Lord find me,
I am lost in circles.
I want to walk with Him,
To find the true meaning,
Of everything...
I am you.

You are me.

But I don’t want to be.



Your weakness

— my weakness.

I want to be new,

but I’m not.



Because you are me.

And I am yours.



Tied by blood,

You have shaped me



Only God can help me

— break the chain



And make me

Someone free.
** hum, ** hum, everything’s a humdrum
Need to be awake — for money’s sake.
Rake in money, need a coffee quake.
Sleepy in daytime,
Can’t sleep at nighttime.
Need to be normal —
But must live abnormal.
Oh lord give me a night time sleep
Save me from shame
Cuz I know everything’s in vain
Oh, how beautiful the flowers are.
They are dancing with the air

There are reds
There are yellows
Makes your heart mellow

Oh, how beautiful the trees are.
They are dancing with the wind
The wind, the tree
kept me cool


The sea sound nice
With the chirping of birds
It soothes the mind.

Natural entertainment
They are dancing and singing
They are partying with me
Because I’m happy

I’m forever grateful
I'm forever playful
To the Lord who made all
Ill forever faithful
