16/F/Amsterdam my friend made me do this
The captured memories on the walls Are starting to crack, about to fall. We never had an expiry date But we never begun, maybe that's our fate. Holding onto every conversation Like a journey's souvenirs. You might be next to me, But in your heart the distance between us is of light years. I could write you a thousand letters Pick the petals of a hundred flowers Yet the truth of your heart Will time and time again, tear mine apart. Day by day you leave me baffled, So I'll leave all the memories in a time capsule. Buried in the ground, in a time capsule. Never to be found, in a time capsule.

Time Capsule
This world is forever evolving, Every part of it changing. And of course so do we, Our thoughts in this thing we call society. Funny people aren’t we, We impose our ideas on each other, Call each other out, To the point each of us crouch down in a corner, hoping to be what we know as normal. But in this forever changing world, Am I the only feels like I’m in the wrong time? Like my body would’ve been loved eras ago, And I’m stuck here and this is fate playing some twisted joke? Am I the only one who is confused and puzzled, This concept everyone knows as best or normal? Besides who decides? You, me, us? When I look around all I see, Is people thinking why am I like this, oh why me. Which makes no sense to me, We made the choice, didn’t we?

Twisted Joke
In a yellowing photograph Smiling back at me My doppelgänger from the past Who supposedly is a part of me But lately, I feel her slowly fading A piece of her breaking away And Im sat here desperately clinging To the piece of her, willing it to stay I put the yellowing photograph aside And see my reflection in the mirror A person I still recognise Wondering when she will turn, into a distant figure But these doppelgängers How do I know when I’ve become better That I have left the parts of me behind That will push me towards some peace of mind Or I have left the parts of me That made me unique Have they gone forever? Because lately I feel incomplete
