It's okay to be tired,
It's okay to feel weak.
We all have our moments—
That doesn’t mean you’re weak.

Let the tears fall, let your heart breathe,
Release the daggers your own mind weaves.

Hold yourself—
You're the only one who knows its depths.
Take your time,
Trust me, it won't bring your death.

You love yourself more than you know,
It's in the tears, the screams, the fight—
That’s how it shows

A beautiful tragedy

Tragedy...
A friend that needs companion
An illness that takes every piece of me
A feeling so familiar
Nothing now seems peculiar.

An acquaintance to abuse
A fiend addicted to the misuse
A misery I create on my own
Confirmation bias - my mind seeks this frown

A friend I don’t need, a foe I can't evade,
Yet peace I've made with your embrace.
A beautiful tragedy, laid bare in place

A wandering soul

I lay my eyes upon the sky,
Where the depths of my soul lie.
A tired, fragile soul—
Longing to escape the misery of it all.

Oh heavens, take my breath as yours,
Draw me into a realm where peace endures.
A haven free of these binding chains,
Etched so deep within my brain.

A prison I ache to leave behind,
Yet a home that soothes my mind.
I am nothing but a wandering soul,
Drifting, seeking its next north.

My heart craves you so
Even though I know we can't be
So the least I can do
Is hope that in one of our lifetimes
We had the chance to be you and me

Roses and Thorns

You captured me with your bright colours
Your soft petals created a sweet allure
You pricked me once but I brushed it aside
Trapped in a hypnotized gaze, all I did was abide

The Roses burnt up and the petals died
Soon the truth sprung from the lies
Your thorns continued with their cuts
A slow death by a thousand cuts

Your touch became venomous
To a point that I no longer craved an us
Are you beautiful? Sure, you are—
But a beauty best admired from afar
