i always have
the urge to run.

but what is it like
to be a tree?

to be confident enough
to root yourself
and grow with
wild abandonment,
being unapologetically
you?

i'm still running,
but i wish i knew.

He doesn't burn photographs
He doesn't join therapy sessions
He doesn't smoke too many cigarettes
Nor he drown himself into alcohol
He scratches his wounds daily
And never let them heal
He doesn't try to get rid of the pain
Instead he let it grow on him
He waters the seed of sorrow with his tears
He feeds it with the manure of old memories
He takes it to sleep with him
And nurtures it in himself
Till the moment when every single drop of his blood gets replaced by this pain
Until his fragile heart can bear no more
And his soul starts overflowing with emotions
That's when he dip his pen into this pain
And empty his heart on a piece of paper
He bares his soul for us to feel
He creates poetry that the world would cherish for centuries to come
That's how true poetry comes into existence

If I had a chance to time travel
I'd stay right where I am
My past is filled with many mistakes I'm still trying to forget
My future is not something I want to see
Present is the least burning hell right now
Turns out life's not that bad right where I am... Doesn't mean it's not bad :(

What if the world was upside down ?
Putin would give away Russia
Trump will remove the tariffs from every little country
There'd be no more frowns

What if the world was upside down ?
We would walk on air
Every little sister would beat up their older brothers
China will be called a town

What if the world was upside down ?
I would be the prettiest girl ever
My country would have good leaders
I'd be a princess with a crown

To think the rain hides all the pain inside
The sun burns us till we're almost black
The stars are scattered so they won't guide
The thunder puts us under attack

Everything has its downside
All have downsides... Even us

I'm trying to hold on
The road is slippery
Trying to play safe
Safe's over now
I lose all hope
When the troubles grip me
Killing myself slowly
Yet I'm alive somehow

Your words don't hurt me
I'm already tearing me apart
Don't try to **** me
I was dead from the start
Letting go is all they tell me
So that this version of me can grow
I guess it all goes down to my wish
For my own tomorrow

“Are you okay?”

Sweetheart, I write poetry
And some kindhearted people said I write it well

That can only mean one thing
My mind is an unescapable hell

“Yeah, just tired”
