⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️

I’m not suicidal,
I fear death.

I think about dying—
it's always a vivid, beautiful, sunny day.

I just want to bleed, cuts under the skin.
I just want to starve, protruding bones.
I just want to disappear, non-existent.

I’m trying to get my affairs in order,
to tend to my responsibilities,
to care for my loved ones
just in case.

I’m not suicidal,
at least, I don’t think I am.

I fear death.

Growth

Growth

Within my fallen body,
Roots will thrive.

And in them, I am alive.

As old as my arms reach,
They will bare the fruit of all that has come before me.

I shall feed to the next generation of disciples,
The sugars that are born from this forgotten language.

And there we will all rise,
as we flow back down the river line.

This unfortunately was brought on and inspired by a Kanye song

Once, A Friend

Once, A Friend

How lucky they are
To call you their friend
To stand close like a shadow
Or drift far like a star
And never fear the distance.

To pour words like rain on thirsty ground
To share as if time were endless
But I couldn’t
Like a bird slipping from open hands
I lost a friend.

الذيب

يومنك شفتني عرفت ان احبابنا قاسيين و الوقت يسيل
الا تفسر حسك و من يومها قرر الحبر الأتي و المصير
عشت لحظات توفي بأوقاتها الملتوية و تكسفني طية
عيونك تلتفت لغيري و تلق فكشفك النور يا حية
حبيت تدربني على الوداع و كأني لعبة للأستمتاع
قطعت معاك الخيط و انا مقتنعة مع المكتوب بأقتناع
لعبت بأشاير الحب حطيتني في وهم و خداع
اوقاتنا تكلمني بدمعاتها و تشرح لي معاناتها
قلت اني اشاكي و اباجي و هاذي من عاداتها
لعبة الأنتقام حلوة و هاذي من لذاتها
ما فكرت انك تجي و تسرع في مواساتها
اشعاري ما عاد تحتاجك تتواجد على صفحاتها.

Natural beats

Natural beats

Rhythms,
Unashamed sounds,
Playing to the beat of their internal drum,
No fear of questioning,
But unleashing originality as it comes.

The perfect child

The perfect child

I grew up the perfect child.
Seen but never heard.
Painfully aware of the mood in the room
And grew up way too soon.
Suppressed any hint of emotion
To make life easier for them.
And played the part of the perfect child
Receiving the bare minimum.

Waiting

Waiting

I waited for you at midnight
to wish you a Happy New Year.
The minute passed.
Reality struck.
Your lips occupied another.
Time.
The great reminder
not to waste another year.
Waiting.
