Mirai (the future)
Even if you’re afraid,
it’s okay to take your time,
but you have to move forward.

Music of the Heart
Music
is always echoing
inside my heart.
Heavyhearted but on cloud nine.
My safe haven .

Every Touch
I drown myself in music.
To forget everything I feel.
I remember and feel nothing
but what i am hearing at this very moment.
I need to forget it all.
Forget the shame,
the pain,
the agony of it all.
Every line I step across.
I only burden myself.
Every friendship I make turns to ruins.
Every cut
Every blood dropped on to the pavement
was all for you.
You broke me.
And all their touches deformed my heart.
But here I am
Still alive.

Be Still
These feelings still tie me down.
I’m only abusing myself,
by remembering it all once again.
It shouldn’t disturb me this much.
It’s been years since it all happened.
I just need to let it all go.
Let it all turn to ashes in the fire.
Let them burn out,
until they can’t hurt me anymore.
I need to free myself,
I’m a better person for all that’s happened.
Even the bad things in life
can turn into epiphany.

What Lies Beyond the Hardships
Life is unpredictable,
life is scary,
but maybe,
Life only wants us to grow and learn.
That even in the darkest times,
we can thrive and find meaning,
why we exist, find a purpose.
We only see the truth
hiding between the lines
after the storm.

Quiet Room
A blinding light enters a room.
Alighting her as a whole.
Feeling as if it's meant to be.
She tries to hold the light into the palm of her hands.
It seeps through silently,
like water.
She holds the lingering touch of it
close to her chest
She hears a little voice
Her inner child.
Giving her words of comfort
To heal the wounds from her past.
She too, now knows
Nothing can harm them.
Together they will overcome.
The voice whispers into her soul
She feels her heart aglow.
"Stay with me", she says
She didn't want to break this spell
Her soul speaking.
Feeling reassured
Knowing that time will come.
Her time will come.
It will never be too far.

Sleep To Dream
Sleep to dream.
Escape from reality.
You take my hand and hold it close.
You whisper in to my ear
Words so sweet.
I feel my eyes starting to tear.
Take me away
For you are the only one.
Who can see me for who I am.
Caress me lightly.
And tell me why you love me.
Remind me why you and I
Were meant to be.
Dream of nothingness.
Illusions taking over me.
Sleep just may be
The last thing I really need.
For words are my fuel
An elixir all on its own.
It builds me up
Or tears me down.
In the end,
it will all be worth learning.
For every word
Has potential
Just like we all do.
