Missed you now for decades
Nowhere to run, Nowhere to hide

Hell.
here,
there,
everywhere.
tha' bell,
tolls clear,
tha' mark,
sear'd deep,
in darkness,
weep,
forever,
to sleep.

Sunshine yellow
Or perhaps
Mustard hued
The suede jacket
Like an old fading memory
Worn on the outside
Cozy and warm
Reminiscent of a place and time
Long gone
Like the jacket
Once worn
Now frayed

I’m weary, tired, shadows near,  
But like the song, I’ll persevere.  
Sick of the struggle, longing for peace,  
Yet I’m still standing, my heart won’t cease.  

Though feeling done, there’s still a spark,  
You know I’ll rise, igniting the dark.  
With every challenge, I’ll find my way,  
Just like the lyrics, I’ll seize the day.
made to read while listening to I'm Still Standing lol

In the heart of the hustle, where dreams collide,  
A king walks the streets with no crown to guide.  
His throne is a corner, his scepter the grind,  
Yet he rules with a fire that’s hard to define.

He’s got no gold chains, no royal decree,  
Just the weight of the world and the soul of the free.  
The pavement’s his palace, the stars his domain,  
Every day’s a battle, every night’s a campaign.

His crown’s not on his head, but in the way he stands,  
In the grit of his hustle and the strength in his hands.  
Though the world might overlook, his spirit’s profound—  
In the city’s heart, he's a king with no crown.

The sky was blazing
fingers point at
the distance of never
concrete crumble
rose petals puffs
a big heart
no more ashes only love
Phoenix's rise in a silvered sky
the Angels still sing
from the olive branches
our Doves they will never die.
