I try to help others,
because I have no idea
how to help myself

They say to destroy
the things destroying us,

But what do you do
when the thing destroying you
is yourself
dear you,

please remember that your voice has power.
power to raise an ocean of words,
please make them mean something.
power to create a storm,
please don’t destroy too much.
you have been given hands to create,
a mind to wonder,
a life that is worth living if you make it worth living
Besides you

Never search
A key
A secret
A source
A place
A person
To be happy
That way
Never will, you be

Think like a kid
Stop searching
Only then
You will
Embrace the harmony

You
Are
Happiness
Genre: Observational
Theme: Peace Of Mind
Note: Every positive emotions lead towards happiness. Searching happiness elsewhere is a waste of time.
A black bird sits on my windowsill.

Mocking me with its unlaboured loyalty to the present moment.

I wonder if it remembers all the valleys it flew over, all the food it pecked on.

I yearn to know all the birds it must have known.

What it felt like to feel the wind under its wings for the first time?

Does it remember?

A black bird stands behind the windowsill.

Mocked and dawned with the task of laboured living.
Inspired by the constant wave of nostalgia and anxiety that surrounds me.

We are made with all kinds of flaws,
Some are fat, some are dark and some literally have Down's,
All we've got to do is survive in this world full of teasers,
All we've got to do is to be deaf to all these haters,
Then look up, walk tall and enjoy the journey of the beautiful life,
we've led and will lead ahead,
Thank him for giving us a chance to prove our worth,
Just love and be loved,
For love is the most powerful force.

My first poem. Any constructive criticism is most welcome!
I’m only myself
When I’m depressed
Evaporating
Into nothingness

Out of this world
Just a cloud looking down
Exasperated
Lost in my own town
How many stars are to fall, until you notice, who made them all?

How many seas are to dry, until you see how hard I try?

How many dreams are to be , until you remember Me?

I love you more than you can fathom, and yet you can't seem to remember Me,
you leave Me in the corner,
waiting patiently...

But when you'll need Me,
I'll still be here;
and even if I seem far,
I'll always be near.

Forever loving

God
Conquer now, little by little,
work hard and harder, just don't become brittle,
hard work devoid of true rest, will surely derail your quest,
you aren't the first or the last, to go through hardships,
remember the past,
many before you have come and gone,
so what makes you think,
that you are the one?

It doesn't matter,
do your very best,
so you'll be able to end,
without regret in your chest,
that you didn't try, or were afraid to act,
we are all meant to die, and that's a proven fact,
no, you might not get rich, or have stadiums packed,
but your hearth will be right, you were brave in the fight.
