Warm sunbeams
touching
cold snow

Making it
twinkle
like stars


Before
the snow
finally
returns
to its
original form

my eyes
burn

my face
is a hurting
grimace

my chest
trembles from
sobbing

but the tears
won't fall

it's 3am
rain
is ponding
against
the window

darkness
swallows
even
the moon
and stars

and my soul
feels weirdly
vulnerable

she is
in love
with

places
she has
never seen

and
people
she has
never met

It’s the 21st century
but still –
some people
get judged
about whom
they love

It’s the 21st century
but still –
some people
get criticised
about who
they are

It’s the 21st century
but still –
women are
less worth
than men

It’s the 21st century
but still –
dark-skinned people
get discriminated
and killed

One would think
that we live
in the 21st century
and not
in the middle ages
but still –
we must change
a lot
until
everyone is equal

here i am
talking with
my friends
about love
as if
i know it all

but what
do i know?


i barely
understand
my own feelings

yet
i act like
i do

today
the moon
kept me company
even whilst
the sun
was there

but maybe
she wanted
to catch more
than
just a glance
of him

they always say
'go out
meet new people
you'll fall
in love again
when you
forget them'

but they
never tell you
how to forget them

i thought
i knew
who i am

but lately
everything
seems to be
wrong

what if
we fall
in love
because

we'll never be
able to
love ourselves
one hundred percent?

what if
we fall
in love
because

we unconsciously
need constant
reminders
how worthy
we are
of love?

when
will my heart
understand
that i am not
living in a book?

that when
i fall
for someone
in a relationship
or
for someone
i can't have

that there isn't
the slightest chance
i end up
with them


when
will my heart learn?

i don't know
if i am lonely
and
craving for
romantical love
or
if i am
just a hopeless
romantic
stuck in
her dreams

oh honey
we are
just young
a bit dumb
and definitely broke

so write
that person
you like

dance
and sing
without shame

and wear
whatever
you want

because now
is the time
to feel
the most alive
