she smells of peonies, extravagant, luxurious, She smells of peonies, elegant, dangerous, She smells of peonies, elite, but soft, She smells of peonies, unapologetically;

Peonies
Marshmallow heart, Facing utter disregard. Neglected and forgotten, But what is soft cannot be broken;

What Is Soft Cannot Be Broken
They lie so cleanly now, you'd mistake it for a skill, celebrated on the Fortune 100, while the ones who built it can't afford the cover, And we buy the magazine, and we read the interview, and we learn their secrets to success, but honesty isn't one of their prowess, "Nobody wants to work these days”, they say, said the woman who never clocked in, born into an empire of cameras, another nepo baby cosplaying as self-made for cash, selling up the ladder she never had to climb, what an act; Lie, make money, repeat, the oldest business model with the freshest face, But every pyramid scheme needs a base — you, dear reader, you’re the base.

Lie, Make Money, Repeat
I don't know what else to say to you, Maybe I'm quietly trying to run away, Every message a mountain to climb, Every voice note a bomb to defuse, Every phone call a reason to fly away, So like the sea, my waves recede, Like water, I become elusive, You try to catch me, But like the sea, I'm already at low tide, Where your body can't dive in, I remain a horizon — elusive.

Low Tide
A society, liberticidal, liberate our bitterness, A joy of life in tatters, shattered on the pavement; Jobs that don’t exist, and then they call us people with Peter Pan syndrome; Union struggles, a symptom of management, the very same social cancer;

Liberticidal
You left in October and I'm still dressing for the wrong season, Last time I saw you, we gave each other a reason, To stay, to leave, to linger somewhere in between, The further we drifted apart, the closer my heart felt seen, As if your absence carved the shape of what could always be, This strange certitude that we belong together, Defying every reason, every season, every weather. What do you say to someone who still lives in your chest, It feels so simple, uncomplicated to find you again, like I can rest, And yet I dread the ordinary miracle of your face, I don't know if we can keep up with each other's pace, So I prepare myself, I practice being fine, from a careful place.

Without a Season
Société liberticide, libère notre amertume, Joie de vivre décomposée, éclatée sur le bitume ; Emplois inexistants, puis ils nous traitent de gens au syndrome de Peter Pan ; Galère syndicale, symptôme patronal, même cancer social.

Societe liberticide
Halfway in Halfway out She can be seen But only in between The shadow and light Catch her in the space Where two worlds meet To know her is to embrace this paradox

Paradox
Heart of Ice, tears of snow, every word you speak feels hollow. Your vision in the mirror seems ever so blurry, Heart of Ice, biting air, I can see the despair you wear. Your manipulation ripples off me. You bring frost, I am too deep to freeze. You dissolve before me — I was never meant to suffer from thee

Heart Of Ice
Coffee to wake up my senses, But my senses stay numb; Coffee to wake up my senses, But my senses stay asleep; Coffee to wake up my senses, But my senses have forgotten how you'd smell coffee in the morning; Coffee to wake up my senses, But my senses don't want waking anymore;
