23/F/South African Do not go gentle into that good night. / Rage, rage against the dying of the light. / / -Dylan Thomas / 23 years old. / Appreciate art, love and poetry. / I do not like change, but there is something beautiful about it.
If I had Audrey Hepburn's class and elegance, would I catch your eye when we passed each other in a morning rush? If I had Elizabeth Taylor's eyes and body, would you stay a bit longer? If I had the simple yet perfect beauty of Grace Kelly, would you wrap your arms around me at night and make me your princess? And if you saw the lurking shadows and sensed the sadness behind my smile, just like Marilyn Monroe, would you leave me all over again?

insecurities
in the middle of the night when everything is at its quietest i feel a tug at my hair i feel a nudge in my side i feel the pull of my hand i feel a restlessness in my body something is calling me a distant land or perhaps a forgotten muse something is calling me and i cannot wait to answer

purpose
My mind drifts in this abyss And as it goes and goes and goes I cannot stop it from touching those Tender, broken, shattered pieces of what seems to be so hard to identify and erase from the mind. My mind keeps on expanding And as it goes and goes and goes It touches those forgotten, dusty little corners and invokes a new set of flames in my heart. The fire reaches the bones that keep me sane and i begin to transition into ash. The wind picks up all the particles and scatters me here and there. Finally, I am away from myself.

here and there
He stays where he should be He knows just how to shake me Fate is not to blame It all started with a red, hot flame. He takes the glint out of my eyes No longer am I in disguise Fate is not to blame It all started with the broken frame. He kissed me on the hand Politely, as if it was planned Fate is not to blame When he burns as vibrant as that flame.

Flame
I wish I could Scrape the faults off like old and worn paint From the wall I created. But my nails are worn From fighting and climbing Up these holes I somehow dig Unknowingly. As soon as I see light and breathe In the sweet scent of your presence, I slip. I fall. But I'm tired and I can't climb again this time. Not alone.

Love and other Clichés (fourth and final)
She eagerly brushes her fingers through her hair, Pupils are dilating, Biting of the lip but swiftly stops.   She was told not to. Why, she thought, why couldn't she just listen. Or maybe she did that too much. He isn't there to stop her and she hates him for that.

She couldn't look past lovers in the eyes. When realising it, she'd set them free. She found him, and fell in love with his eyes. When realising it, she'd never want to set him free.

Love and other Clichés (2)
I'd like to think that we are all stars. Dead for thousands, billions of years. But our souls are still illuminated. And can still be seen over a course of time. We're slowly drifting through the galaxy. We sometimes fade, but are still there lightyears away. Stars are reborn. We scribble and dance our fate into the universe. We collide. We fuel. We die. We're part of history. We're part of eternity.

Part of Eternity
She catches her throat in horror And the scream escapes and shatters against the walls of his heart. She embraces her chest in pain And her faith starts to deteriorate with every tear that is not being catched by him.

Love and other Clichés
The words that come through my mouth flow from the very core of my soul Afraid of you taking them, I hid them, forbid you to make your way here. But I should have known, that your curiosity would have grown. (Mine would have too.) Afraid of you running away, I held them close to my heart, waiting for any sign of depart. It is hard, no it is torture, being inside of my mind, the plague messed with my thoughts. And it prevents me from saying the pure words that flow from the very core of my soul, the things that come out is tainted by the plague that is inside my mind. So please don't believe a word I say...
