 May 26 ophelia
lore
are you supposed to feel afraid when tasting daylight
after a long night?
am I supposed to shake and ache, at the idea of
sunshine on my face?

what is there to fear? you ask.
everything.

just a hint, a glimpse –
of a world, a life bathed in gold
and it will never be enough.
I will leap into the sky,
to capture the sun –
and swallow it whole.

it will burn going down,
burn me alive.
make me alive.

that is what is to fear.

Life doesn't come with a map.
It throws curveballs, storms, and silence.
You take the hits. You get back up.
You wear the scars like armor—not shame.

Not everyone's going to clap when you rise—
Good. You're not here for their applause.
You're here to own your story,
Not beg for a role in someone else's.

The world will try to crush you.
Lie to you.
Tell you you're too much, or not enough.
Laugh when you fall.
Doubt when you speak.
But guess what?

They don’t get to define you.
You are forged, not broken.
Bent, not beaten.
Every bruise is a blueprint.
Every fall, fuel.

So break the rules they wrote for you.
Set fire to the limits.
And walk—no, run—into the life
you were told you couldn't have.

Fitful Sleep
Dreams Flit

In and Out-

If Dreams were Real-

How could We Tell?

Hatimu tumpah, malam pecah
Maka sirna sudah gelisah
Dan semua kalimat lelah

Hatimu tumpah, kemudian malam terbelah
Dan aku hanya bisa mencintaimu lewat dinding tanpa celah

There is Morning Fog
Sometimes

There is Illumination
After Noon
Sometimes

If Clarity were Constant-

How would We Know?
wet
all alone
im in my bed
lights so low
and my family gone

i washed my hair
scrubbed skin for hours to remove his touch
yet he
clings
on.

but im barely hanging on
and i dont think anyone else is
sometimes i think about you

and
         i
             am
                      wet.
hypersexual disorder
I want to write honestly.
Speak the truth.
I want to stare in a mirror
and see anyone but you.

I want to love out loud
and speak my feelings, too.
I'm not the kind of brave
that counts, no matter what I do.

I wish it wasn't almost over
that I had more time to spend.
I want to speak words into facts,
to stand tall but only ever bend.
I'm working toward a finish
but only coming to an end.

Immortality
No distance,
no time,
only this moment,
you and I,
as if the god above,
has listened to my heart's love.

Life is a series of moments.
One moment happy, the next sad. But when two hearts meet as one, nothing else matters......

He'd give her the constellations
bound amid every flower
to hold her close
