The truth
got lost
in the maze of justice

forgiveness does not grow on trees
it grows as a tree
and takes its time

it might take an eternity
or feel like one, at that
but once the seed is planted
it will grow
and sprout
just give it time


leaves will emerge
branches will take a much-needed stretch
and your heart will heal

Are you in need of a jester?
One who'll make you burst out with laughter
One you can engage in witty banter.
who'll bring out the peculiar laughing sounds
With no desire to weigh you down.
Turning the serious affairs comical
But not with the intent to demean their true essence.
I know it sounds incredibly nonsensical
In a world full of pain and sorrows.
Isn't that why we need some humour?
Since we are unsure of tomorrow.
I suppose we are all in need of a jester.

anxiety attack
sweat down my back

sleepless nights
and walking nightmares

I am being followed everywhere,
my own shadows are ahead of me

they lead the way,
and have me doubt
each step, each word, each thought
they crawl from underneath my skin
they mock, they push, they scream

“not good enough “
-again, they bluff

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
