Don’t be alarmed
if evil blooms
where you sowed
your gentlest good.

Not all earth
welcomes roots
some soils rot
what should have stood.

So plant with love,
but learn the ground,
for even light
can be misunderstood.
A reflection on misplaced effort, toxic environments, and the wisdom of discernment.

Air we need
It's free for all.

Freedom we want
It comes with a price.

I would give up
The world, my life
My soul, my heart
Give everything up for you
But the only thing
You will give up on
Is me

The greatest actor in the world-

The one who hides his tears
behind his smile
and makes the world laugh.

I try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
But still
I'm not
Enough
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of the person in the mirror and wonder what anyone sees in them

Will I ever be
The lover that inspires
Your poetry?

Will I ever be
the one
You cherish on paper?

Gone too soon,
too far away,
far beyond reach,
without saying goodbye.
Only memories are left now.

The love I want is where the girl jumps and gives me a hug where I almost fall because she didn't see me for a long time.
The love I want is being able to be me and not having to worry.
The love I want is where I can sit and cry while being held.
The love I want is where I'm not used.
The love I want is the girl is obsessed with me.
The love I want is being able to play games with the girl that loves me.
The love I want is that kind of love.

What will I leave
when I leave
a bunch of words
for someone to read?

What will I leave
when I leave
memories of a life less lived?

What will I leave
when I leave
dreams that remained unfulfilled?

Whatever I leave behind
will stay behind.
Not be my companion
in that other world.
