What's keeping me tossing at night? lately I've been thinking about that rope - thinking about lynching my thoughts on the same tree that we got this knowledge from. And they say that the apple didn't fall far from the tree - Well, I ate mine rotten, and its seed sprouts depressing thoughts, like - "I wish I wasn't born" or "I was cushioned in the womb, only to find out that being born is a nightmare" Still trapped inside my dad's body - but I wake up everyday hoping for a transition.

Forbidden Thoughts
I'm well aware that there's too many fish in the sea but I don't fish on shallow water

Loyalty
Society - the caterpillar I ripped through in order to be an introverted butterfly, pollinating wallflowers

Introverted Butterfly
With a mind made out of Oujia boards, depression became a medium to the whispers of premeditated suicides - they whispered - "take your life, engrave your skin and create a tombstone out of your body. Your grave will be honored with fresh flowers.." "Well don't you know that this is death's romantic gesture?" But I never befriended razor-blades, though I'm acquainted to feel how it feels to have my thoughts bleed - And like an artwork I scarred down my incisions - and amputated these whispers like Van Gorgh's ear.

Whispers (scars II)
My mind gropes for sanity - but how can I be sane, In a world where the weather is bipolar

Scars (interlude)
I love you in the darkest hours, where my heart is pierced like voodoo dolls, Under the spell of Eros - love is tantamount to the forbidden fruit, But I can't help it when I wear the thoughts of you like a nightcap, Thought you of turns my pillowcase into a dreamcatcher, So when daylight breaks I won't remember you like a nightmare.

I think life is a playground - I swear l'm swinging on mood swings
