Idealist-cynic paranoid INFJ
At the end of the day, they will look for the worst version of you. Good actions will be overlooked, and you will be taken for granted. They will dig your soul for whatever it is they consider as dirt. They will make you feel as if there is something wrong with you. And you—you ask yourself what should be done. You have not one, but two options. Either you fight and go against the current, Or become a slave of their judgments. If you fight, expect that there will be more coming; every stench of your soul will be revealed and they will not stop until they have dragged you down And if you become a slave of their judgments, you might think you are in peace; But contrary to this, you have a bigger enemy. Yourself.

Them vs. You
Dead crocs and rabbits being worn and stepped on as rugs and carpets and furry trench coats Panned, sluiced, and now shiny gold toilets All thanks, to your 10-year old laborer Fancy Ferrari cars Lavishing clothes and mind-blowing *** What else could you wish for with that stone heart of yours?

Coin Monster
but I am a just an absurd poet who writes about your love from the first time it bloomed when your light filled my room to the moment my words bleed when you stepped my heart with your feet

Just A Poet
There is so much misery in the world that we are becoming quite hardened and callous to that constant plucking of our hearts.

Compassion Fatigue
He travels the sphere As he sail across the ocean of fear He has thirst for experience Just like hunters eye for a deer He carries his knapsack Ready to set off for a journey With 2 years before his comeback He leaves the land of brasa Playin' his Red Hot Chili soundtrack Enamored by her glance He met this gal He offers her to dance Singing their hearts out As if he was stuck in a trance Little did he know she's a faker-- Alluring travellers with one deep gaze Her ability to paralyse the sufferer And words as sharp as knife Makes her one hell of a lucifer From a heartbreaker He thought he had a chance He swore to never wander And to not set foot In another land ever again

Adventurer's Misadventure
I'm haunted by ghosts. Screaming profanities, Shattering the barriers of solitude. Banshees cursing me, Leading them to the depths, Of the hell I created. The blackened pit, I the tormentor. Where my eyes pierce Sweetest fantasy, corrupting innocence. Filling hearts with dread. Dreams turned into night mares. Stampeding insanity, Like merry-go-rounds Drilling painful truths into The painted fictions of hope That we dream of as children. I am the madness your heart craves. And the poison that kills you.

They call me Demise.
Your pupils collided, in crescent moon Venus and Jupiter approaching swoon Spiral of rings extend toward the Earth Dancing upon your laughter and mirth Lovers sway in light of distant planets Built solid on base made from granite Together a joy and beauty past slight Two becoming one that stardust night

Stardust night
Poetry Became the voice Of things that could never be spoken Poetry Gave reason To what is unfathomable and unimaginable Poetry Fueled the desire to incorporate love Into the world of literature Poetry Told stories Of thoughts That only speak of love But It is also because of poetry How she came to understand What is suffering and how sorrow feels like

The Power of Poetry
That one mistake Cannot be easily forgotten It trapped me In the misery of regret Making me unleash, something buried deep within Confused on who is to blame Is it I? who did nothing to prevent things from occurring Or you? Who led me Into the midst of darkness Get ready and brace yourselves Because the beast has woken up from its lair Ready to swallow its prey Stronger, quicker and hungrier than ever

Burning in Rage
I'm avoiding you because I feel like I'm starting to like you. All I wanted to do was talk to you for hours and think about you. And I don't like that. I don't want to like you. I don't want to like you because you distract me. I prefer talking to you than to do my assignments. I prefer staying as late as 4 am just so I could talk to you-- even if i had to wake up at 6 in the morning for college. I don't want to like you because every time I eat food I always think about you-- how you like bananas and black rice and sausage and basically everything. Or that every time you have your dinner and it's sleeping time for me already. Yet I have to stay awake just so I could know what you are eating. I don't want to like you because you talk a lot about girls or anyone from your past, I hate it. At first I tried to deny it. Simply because I wanted to be a good friend to you by listening to your endless rants-- endless rants about girls from all over the world. I don't want to like you because you don't go to school. I love the idea that you grow by exploring the world-- but at the same time I happen to dislike you for not valuing education as much as I do. I don't want to like you because all you do is drink in bars and get high at times. I know it's part of your culture, but I am different from you and I hate it. I hate that I don't drink a lot or that I haven't experienced getting high. I hate that I don't kiss spontaneously with someone in public and have never experienced genuine love with someone-- like you did, few months ago. I'm not like you. I'm not as fun as you are. You are cool, spontaneous, funny and always filled with adrenaline. I find that terrifying. I have to stop liking you because I can't handle the two possibilities that might happen when you read this. I don't want to be rejected by you, nor to pursue this friendship any further. I know I'm not ready yet. All I know is that I like you and I have to stop it.

A Letter For You, From The Other Side of The World
