All this time
I thought
We had more time...

I know I’m a disappointment—don’t say I’m not.
You gave me trust, and I let it rot.
I see it in your eyes, even when you smile,
That quiet hurt you’ve been hiding for a while.
You tell me it’s okay, but we both know the truth—
I’m the burden you carry, the bruise beneath the soothe.
I just wanted to make you proud,
but here I am—still failing you.
And in your silence—i fail myself too.

Thank you darkness,
For you have made it possible
To see the stars and moon
In the sky

Thank you darkness,
For without you
I would not have been able
To imagine the light
at the end of the tunnel
And so,
I would have no reason to keep walking towards it

Thank you darkness,
For you keep everyone
"In the dark"
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Because if we knew the future
There would be no point in having it
One of the best things, though misunderstood
We are all naked on the inside
Where we can roam free
What about on the outside?
We can't be because of society
We are forced to put up a façade
We can't show our true naked selves
We would be ridiculed
Why is this?
From far away we look so
So perfect
Unblemished
Nothing ever comes between us

Until you see us at home
So petty
Our bickering
Anything could come between us
Well
I guess
This is where
It all comes to a close
Will this ever happen again?
I think not. History won't repeat that quickly

A cloud hangs low, still,
pressing on the city’s spine—
does it ever breathe?
