I do not want you to cry
Most of you
Crying at my grave
I don´t even know just yet
At least so I hope
Still, I do not want you to cry
I want to die old
Surrounded by family
Surrounded by friends
Well knowing what I did
With a proud smile
I want to part
From my body
At least for this life
I want you to laugh
To remember
And yes...
If you feel like it
You may cry
Though not forever
Life keeps going on
We have no choice
No say
It´s better that way
I don´t know when
I don´t know how
I just want you to know
No matter who will be there
That I was proud
And happy
I am now
I shall always be

A reflection of the self
The bathroom mirror shows so much more
Her eyes
An ocean trapped in an endless storm
Marks of heavy tears below
And sleepless nights
Her lips
Kissed by cherries
Smiling hurts some days
Sobs kept falling out of it
Her skin
A desolate winter night
The sun was always avoided
The night was her only friend
Her hair
Colored in the same shade as the trees
Sometimes short, sometimes long
The bangs always straight
She is beautiful
Not even broken
Just bent
A reflection of the self
The view I give myself shows so much more

Time never stops
For no one
You can´t keep living in the past
Expecting a bright future
Death is close
Will you dance with him?
The end is the beginning
Will you embrace it?
You cannot run
You cannot hide
It will keep haunting you
Until you cut all the ties
The past is not your home
Not anymore
Let it go
Or you will be drowned

Your inner child
Is still afraid
Is still wanting to play
The monsters in the wardrobe
The most lovely doll
It´s still waiting for you
Into the depth of your mind
Sometimes it calls out to you
But you won´t listen
Only your dreams
Offer ashore
For the forgotten waves
What will you do?
Is it right, is it wrong
You may wonder
Where is the line?
There is none
There is just you
And yourself
Don´t suffocate yourself
Others had done it enough
It´s time to raise
Not out of the ashes
But out of the water instead
Go another way
And maybe you will be blessed
By a children's laugh

,,Do not cry“
But what if I want to?
,,Behave“
But what if I don´t want to?
I always tried to hold back my tears
My mind full of voices
Which tried to blame me
My feelings always drowned
In the fear of displeasing others
It might be my last challenge
I am worthy
Worthy to feel
Worthy to show
I will cry, scream and weep
In their faces
Sadness will be my guest
For a moment
For a day
For a week
As long as it takes
I won´t swallow any more
I will spit it all out
No matter if you like it or not
So take my tears
Take my smile
It will be different tomorrow
Nothing stays the same
I refuse to hide my change
I refuse to hide my emotions
You may leave if you dislike it
Because I won´t give up on my path
I won´t give up on my choices

I did not
Nothing ever made sense to me
Why would they do that
Why would they say that
I never felt like they felt
I never spoke as they spoke
It felt unfitting, unwanted
There was always a wall between us
Nothing I tried to built
Just something which appeared
Scars always seemed to tell a story
A story I was interested in
Until I carried them on my own
Suddenly they felt heavy
Heavier then they looked on others
I thought they would make you strong
They do
But they are also a burden
And always will be
Nothing will ever let them disappear
You can just learn to live with them
That´s just part of life, I guess
Still, I wonder why me

All I ever waited for
I always waited in vain
Nothing I desired
Was meant to be in the end
Meant to be mine
Is there something wrong with me?
Nothing and no one
Ever could comfort my burning soul
I learned to live with it
It belongs to me, I accept it
Though some nights I wonder
How it would be
To be listened to and understood
To be comforted and held
Like rain
So sad and yet so beautiful
A gloomy day
Wrapped up in endless hope
An endless disappointment
Still, I pray
My voice doesn´t even shake anymore
It feels like everything is ignoring my existence
Fate
Oh what hate I felt towards you
Ever since I can remember
I tried to love you
But I doubt you wanted me to
A month of success
But for who?
My name seems to be missing
On every single list
Like I am outside the circle
Maybe it should make me proud
Maybe I should cry
Or laugh
But all I can think of is silence

How can you judge
With your eyes alone?
I do not care for your colorful shoes
Nor your expensive jacket
Even less for that long car
Why would you?
Is it truly all we wish for
Something to please the eye with?
Does it bring you more pleasure?
Then a talk about the stars?
I want a connection
Not just attraction
The excitement to meet someone new
Often melts away after a day
Maybe after a date
I want more
I want to see beyond your soul
Tell me what you miss
What you hope for
Your story is what I long after
Not your empty shell

It stares back at me
A reflection I long thought of my own
Too blind to see
I cannot fix myself through you
You kept adding cracks
Refusing to care for yourself
Ignoring your duties
And pushing your problems on me
Like a plague
Your words sought my heart
I kept tried to smile
Believing you were too young
Too young to understand
Yet the voice inside
Kept telling me the truth
That it had to end
No matter how far it would go
Like everything in life
It was no use
It was no good
You had to leave
One way or another
I ignored my own cracks for too long
There is nothing I regret
But maybe the last days
I could have been free
Way earlier than this
The big stage wasn´t meant for us
We both did mistakes in this play
But I won´t give up
Not yet at least
I still have enough breath
For another play
All on my own
Without your toxic thoughts
Without you adding cracks to me
A clear mirror
Old but fixed
Reflecting my movements
This life
Until another

Connection
All we ever wished for
Since we can think of
A soft touch
A hearty laugh
All meant for us
Loneliness doesn´t suit the pretty face
Neither does tears
Still, it´s a part of life
You cannot avoid it
It all returns to you
For you to cry during the night
Staring at the ceiling
Wondering where you went wrong
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
Yet you might feel at home
Because you keep hoping
A feeling more powerful than time
It made you what you are
You should be proud
Instead of frowning at your reflection
In the bathroom mirror
Your body carried you
Your mind shaped you
Even without a friend
Even without a partner
It is you
A choice to make
Wherever you like seeing the tears
Or reject their existence
In the end
It all comes back to you
