Sometimes,
I wish to see myself
in somebody else's shoes
I wish to not be myself
I wish to disappear
To a place
where my face and thoughts
Can't be seen or heard
Sometimes,
I long to know
What it feels like
To be in my own shoes
To be safe,
To feel safe, in my space
My fenceless shelter
A home without a roof

-Kaya
Why don't you grow
Dear seed,
that I did not sow
Asked the parent,
in sorrow

-Kaya
The needle
Completes a second

The needle
Completes a minute

The needle
Completes an hour

The needle
Completes and completes

Until the clock stops
Until silence arises,

the last tick tock

-Kaya
Can I take away the cause
Can I take away the reason
Can I become sane
Can I become the person
I used to be once again?

-Kaya
"Tomorrow, this time"
  Said I, the next day
"Tomorrow, this time"
  Said I, the next day
  This saying,
  is all that I ever say
  This saying is what,
  Gets me through everyday

  -Kaya
Dear places of the world
I wish I was there
I wish I could be everywhere
Breathing the same air

-Kaya
As the day comes to an end
I crave for an hour more of peace
Before the thoughts of the night
take my lungs away
While I still try to breathe

-Kaya
