Distant
Like the moon
She became
Trying to mend herself
While secretly wishing
For someone to mend her.
While others only see the darkness,
She's secretly hoping
For someone, just one person will do,
To notice
That she also has light.
To know
The little things
That make her happy
And the little things
That make her sad.
To admire the fact that
Despite the darkness enveloping
And the stars competing
For all the attention,
She's okay
With having only one soul
To look at her
And believe in her
When she can't do the same for herself.
She wishes to be loved as the moon
And not just the moon among the stars.

I forgot
How the pen felt
Underneath my fingers.

My First Haiku ❤️

As distant as clouds
As cold as the pouring rain
Caged her heart again

The Vanishing Point

It was a hot summer day
But felt like a cold night in winter
I see your figure receding away
In the plain 'til you reached the horizon.

This is the vanishing point
The part where I'm supposed to say goodbye
It's not just that I can't but I won't
And perhaps you know the reason why.

My hands reach out to you
But my feet is stuck on the ground
I'll be right here til you come back
Whether the sun chooses to stay or the rain comes around.

The rain did come after all
And I'm still standing on the same ground
My feet, bare and wounded and sore
From struggling to walk towards the horizon.

I willed myself to stay
Standing on the ground filled with nails
Ironic that the unseen can cause so much pain
While it's easier to bear the physical one.

I am but a parched being
Who can't be quenched by rain
And I can walk right into the oasis
But I chose to bear the pain.

It was a scorching hot summer day,
Til the cold night in winter.
I knew it was time to walk away
When someone handed me a sweater.

Alone

My thoughts are loud once again
It screams through the depths of my being
Warring emotions deep within me
I thought being alone is comforting.
Still, this is better than having many people surround me
I'd rather be held captive by my own thoughts
Than be drowned by the words of people around me.
It's a lonely thing
Yet also comforting
When you find something to do
To write poems
Inked by emotions
And touch a heart or two.

Chameleon

You don't have to change
To prove them you're not the same
You don't have to be the same
To prove them you haven't changed.

Blending in to hide yourself
From prying, critical eyes
Blending in out of fear
Of enemies in angel's disguise.

Little chameleon, be careful
Not to lose yourself
This world is a labyrinth
And sometimes, a game of chess.

It's hard to be someone else
But harder to not be yourself
So come out of that camouflage
And just be yourself.

Little chameleon, don't be afraid
I am here to say,
"If no one else will accept you
Then I am here, I'll stay."

Supposed to be

You're supposed to be confident
But I feel the opposite inside
Supposed to love yourself
But I just want to disappear and hide
You're supposed to be positive
I tried and tried
Endless voices reaching out for me
To do this and that,
Be this and that.
The truth is,
You're drowning me.
Am I expected to be always happy?
Supposed to be.
I was, I am, I'm going to be
But for now
Be silent
Your words are killing me
They're supposed to be helping me.
I'm supposed to be free.
