The more I understand man
and what he’s capable of…

the more I am convinced
the wolf was framed

and Little Red
wrote the story.

Interpretations are often shaped by those who survive to tell the tale. Sometimes, the villain is just the one without a voice.

They asked me once,
“Why do you always take the hard path?”

I said,
“It’s not that I choose it
It’s just the only path I see.”

Not all of us are given options.

Some roads are rough
because that’s all there is.
Sometimes, life doesn’t offer a choice between easy and hard - it simply gives a road, and we walk it.

Don’t forget me all at once
Let me slip away in pieces.

Lose my voice today,
Tomorrow, my laughter,
Then that flicker in my eyes.

Let my words fade like old songs,
Let my kindness dissolve in silence.

I want to fall from your memory
Like raindrops
Dripping from a soaked branch
Not like a lifeless corpse.

☔️
Some departures deserve the courtesy of slowness. Not everything should vanish with a bang, some goodbyes ache sweeter in fragments.

Take the breath
Out of my lungs
The fear
Out of my heart
The worry
Out of my mind
The anxiety
Out of my nerves

I have no hate
In my heart
I just sometimes
Hope your tongue
Tastes like a lemon
And your garage door
Won't close

I'll learn to breathe
But only as soon
As your back is to me

I feel no high
And feel no low
You'd think that I
Would be in control

The days still fly
The nights still go
You'd think that I
Wouldn't want it so
Can’t sleep
They won’t stop kicking and yelling
Why don’t they understand
Not everyone gets to live stupidly
I want to not feel pain for six hours

My name means pure
Untainted by immorality

That's far from true
If only people knew the truth

To each person
I am someone different

Broken pieces
The memories of my past

Open wounds
Bleeding flesh

My eyes tell a story
I've been through Hell & back

I want to break the chains
They hold my heart together

I am not okay
I fall apart when I'm alone

I feel numb
I feel everything

Emptiness washes over me
I'm drowning in tears

It's hard to breathe
My lungs are overflowing

I need a lifeline
Only I can save myself

I write your name proudly on the top of the letter
as I'm writing the name of a hero
you left with the thought that things ain't gonna get better
now I collect your notes and your pictures from your bureau
June , 13 , I will always regret
I could have hugged you tighter
your time hasn't come yet
you will always be a fighter
