Temporary feelings can be fleeting
Letting them go as quickly as they came
Finding the answer in each feeling
When will this begin and end

This has to be a sin

It's like I summon the universe now
we talk at night
meet for coffee
and sometimes
he surprises me
when I think he doesn't listen
I am not only some peaceful stream of the forest,
Twinkling beneath songbirds,
Watering romancing deer.

I am also the river that cuts through the mountain,
That carves the earth to better fit my ease.

The one bears dare not cross.
The cascading ire,
Raptors are unfit to tame,
With any bellow.

Men will come to know the rocky bottom,
And winding parts,
Men will come to know their helmets and life preservers,
Won't be salvation,
When I say that they shall drown.

While we're laughing
And smiling,
Others are
Dying.

While we're eating
And drinking,
Others are
Starving.

While we're running
And playing,
Others can’t
Walk.

While we're reading
And learning,
Others can’t
Write.

Shh…
Do you hear that?
That’s them
Crying for help.

Hold on…
Do you see that?
That’s us
Not helping.
There are people suffering in this world, whether you know about it or not. Those of us who can help, should. Everyone deserves to enjoy life as much as we do.

I tend to fall into a complacent obsession
Over unhealthy attachments

That will lead to me self-harm

And carving suicidal thoughts along

The dotted lines of my veins

Just so I can portray my favorite role

Once again -
The victim

When you laugh,
I am the happiest.
When you are sad,
My eyes are in floods.
When you are away,
I am restless.
Try to feel the love in your heart,
Love is like that.
