29/F Maybe it's not about courage. / Maybe it's more than a closed-eye moment of bluntness. / Maybe you like the interior design of your mind, / And you want to stay there with no intruders.
You cut the glass before which I stand Looking at the world And it looks back You cut the scene, Director's interception And within their claps, we lost our friendship My cut is small You think it gratifies my scripted wishes, Dare to catch my eye? They cut quite sharp, trust into betryal You called for friends, but to no avail Let's cut things short How are you not, I gained the world when you got lost ●●●

Cut
It lingers in the air, The one scent I avoided. It was no active choice, But I knew the second the memory hit. I heared them describe, Creating a memory scent. But little did I know, That the new bottle would stand awaste. A bottle the color I love, I'd love to never smell again. As it waivers my facade, With the trip it took me down memory lane. It's tricky if you ask, Embracing a new perfume. If you never know the unforeseen memories it would assume. •••

50 ml Memory
The word cycle comes from how things revolve around, Hearing the echo trace the edges of a sound, As it circles and rotates, then finally rebounds, Shifting the uncertainty into an assurance that hounds. I am a half chewed apple you can trace back to a tree, A three-way split mirror with 3 broken versions of me, A silence you can familiarize with an epiphany, That what's inevitable has no other ending than to be. Circumference, border, assigned seating.. are all just names, The ink ran out when I tried to curve the sphere I became, No matter where we run the beginning has us trained To sniff every pattern, till the cycle is ingrained.

Do you mirror the person you resent by time? The ****** in your head getting both your shoes intertwined. That you become them, the more you rationalize. ... I lost parts of me, the more pieces of you I gained. I learnt to hate myself, your thought process had me well-trained. I am the eager intern, you are but my narcissistic boss. When the promotion hit me, I socialized, with the intent of loss. I gathered people, the way you gathered my awe-eyed interest. I left them mid conversation, like they were uninvited guests. My certificate of achievement said, I learnt from the best. ... Do you mirror the people your resent by time? The ****** in your head getting both your shoes intertwined. Is that why my hand is bleeding, shards ashine?

Mirror Mirror
I'm a square trying to fit inside a circle All my sides are bruised, My story is now a rip off, Cause my original one didn't fit the mold's strangle. I remember when I was just a small circle, Falling through vessels, Gushed at by my inner circle, When I adapted with the world I grew right angles. Back to square one, I iced all my bruises, When one almost healed, I Found my old self, today's leftovers, and me in a love triangle.

Disfigured
In the depth of winter, the splash of cars, Mud collecting in the leg of my favorite jeans, I wrap my jacket around me tighter, And the let it hug my frozen torso and fraying dreams. Starry night playing on each of my eyelids, A whimsical fantasy unlike the fog in my skies, Oh how predictable the end of the road, Yet scary the ruffle of the morning after each night. And I can't help but radiate this coldness, That stirs the passerbys away as they shoulder past, Ice continues to collect under my fingernails Who'd wanna shake hands with those glacial hands? I plead with the rainman residing in my head, And write to the clouds leaking inside my eyes, We can't keep warning people of our weather, Whenever they set foot near our arctic pride. With a sigh, I curl one hand over the other, Letting them lone companies hang, For most people winter lasts four months, But for me, I never knew where it ended and I began.

Arctic Pride
How do you feel things lightly? How do you let them pass To separate all the layers To let a full breath last? Cause there are no peripheries, No borderline were we separate, I'm smothered by this weather And I'm so entangled in its fate. I tried to tread lightly, To pull up a glass screen, But when I close my eyes My mind can't unsee what it has seen. The more I try to run to the shallows, The more selfish that I feel, A traitor fleeing from the huddle Where all the wounded kneel. Hands moving in accordance, Words uttered with no meaning, A mismatched figure trying To make her condolences more appealing. In this bed of water I lay wondering where the leaks are coming from, But does it matter, now that the currents have made it past my wavering front? So how do you feel things lightly, How do you let them pass? To allow for you to address Your own crumbling castle of sand. ●●●

Lightly Lightly Lightly
With uncareful watch of the hours, The night spreads like threads unlinked, Drawing a comparison about what’s more frightening, The stillness or the sudden shift. Laying in a still motion picture, A million frames of the same fear, A tailored Bermuda triangle where Life stops but the arms of every clock disappear. And you’re left stranded, With the anticipation of every wrong scenario, So for today you’ll munch on anxiety for dinner, ‘Cause the face of every tomorrow scares you. Oh how little you can do in those early AMs, When both of your hands are cuffed to your insecurities, And the night is there like a watch guard, Standing between your panic prison and clarity. And when desperation comes to join you, It tells you tales of a monster that preys on time “Never sleep.” It warns. “It’ll take you to those intimidating mornings, It will leave you without a dime.” When all of those night friendly emotions gather, And drench your gut in their cold foreboding, You, too, become a silent watcher, dissociated from your body, Awake, asleep, floating. Your mind says goodnight with finality, Not willing to futher succumb to the night, In the morning you’ll find you some superglue, To hold together your broken promise to always take your side.

The Inspiration Agency
The week goes by, Your attitude the ***** laundry I get to go home with, I open the washing mashing The drain inside my mind And for a second I wonder, And the thought coils and spirals, Rotates with the wheels of my mind’s washing machine Would the stains you left – From your lipophilic words Adhering to the seems of my skin … ever be washed out? Or will this thin cloth – Thinned by my tendency to forgive – Not see better days? That it’s only a matter of time, Before it’s time to recycle it, Hop onto this cycle And give you back the attitude You ever so generously spilled, I don’t recall a bigger dilemma That kept me awake even on mondays When all the laundry was fresh, Than this one. Do I become you to you, Or do I show you how to be me to me.
