Because I've been lying to everybody
I even lie to myself
I tell lies that they believe
I tell a lie that I would believe

I know you really don't care
None of you do
Well, guess what
Neither do I

I'm okay
I really am
Express pain in a shorter way
And yes, it's a lie, anyway

You won't understand me
You'll drown
I am more complicated than this poem
You don't even know that this is a poem

I'm alone in a small crowd
Drowned in deserted drought
Blurrier than a vague hope
Weaker than a decrepit old skyscraper
Deeper than the depths of a core
No one
Nonsense, eh?

Well, yeah.
Okay is enough
No weird things to understand
Nothing to elucidate
I'm okay
Just okay
Okay?

A small rhythm I hear in my cage
Beat that sings loudly when I leap page
You whisper even when I sleep
Whose noise has depths of an ocean's deep

When I'm with exhaustion, you demand for rest
With fastest song, you stop me with your best
Your music continues as long as I live
But when I'm done, you'll proceed on other's rib

You never fail to bring me heat
The heat that comes from a single beat

I was damaged
I am bandaged
Yet encouraged

If
our souls
mimic the colors
of the night,
then there
won’t be stars
in the sky.

We met an awful night
Your eyes were not bright
I thought I could be your light
To surpass everything with delight
Seems like I ain't right
And we gave each other fright
The ending’s not here yet
Still in the fight
Blindfolded, armed with flashlights
In the aftermath
I embraced you so tight
So tight that I almost lost my sight
Now we play like an air and a kite
Looking forward to our next flight

Love is not selfish
Not jealous
Not boastful
Not proud
But kind
Patient
And loud

You said you love me
Yet you envy me
Come think again
Is it really love?
1 Corinthians 13:4

Nostalgia is a swamp.
Swim.
Don't drown yourself in it.
