Black is the colour I see.
Black is all I see.
Black is the darkness I fear.
Black is all I fear.

Life's darkest shadow has been hurled upon me.
I cannot escape.

Through darkness I see tranquility.
Through darkness I create.

I am an artist,
And that is what I am.
I create,
To recreate.
Work with what you have.

You start from a seed.
You are planted underneath.
You start in the womb.
You are planted inside.

You begin to peek.
You begin to seek.
You embrace the touch of the sun.
You embrace the cosmos.

You grow taller.
You get higher.
You extend to the horizon.
You expand your mind.

You burn brighter than the stars.
You glimmer in your colourful essence.
You outshine the rest.
You radiate the power within you.

You whither and squeal.
You long for strength.
You shrivel and burn.
You long to live.

You have bloomed
You are *doomed
The flower of life.

I'm trying to get inside my mind
But all I find are empty spaces inside
I'm trying to find the words in time
But all I see are letters spread wide

I want to share my thoughts with you
I want to show you my world too
I want to shine some light into you mind
I want to shake away all your fears

I can't find the words to tell you
My dear, I long for you to know
The beauty inside my mind
Is nothing you could ever imagine

What can I do
Life is
Beautiful
But you don't have a clue

I'm leaving everything behind.
I need a peace of mind.
I'm leaping with my eyes shut, blind.
I need to redefine.

Take me to a place,
Where I can run as wild as my imagination.
I pled you mercy,
Don't take my back to the train station.

Hope,
Was what I felt when I unexpectedly met you.
Hope,
Was what I felt when you adored me from afar.
Hope,
Was what I felt when you approached to speak with me.
Hope,
Was what I felt when I started falling in love with your thoughts.
Hope,
Was what I felt when you fell in love with my thoughts.
Hope,
Was what I felt when our minds connected like opposite magnets.
Hope,
Was what I felt when we had to part
Hope,
Was what I felt when I knew I would see you again.
Hope,
Was all I was left with when I never heard of you again.

I jump,
I light.
I gleam,
I bloom.

My palms are sweating,
My eyes are shining.
My heart is racing,
My feet are tapping.

I have one chance to show the world what I am capable of.
I have one chance to show the world months of my hard work.
I have one chance to shine in the light of my soul.
I have one chance to prove myself to the world.

I stand behind the curtain,
Listening to the crowd chanting my name.
I tell myself that there is nothing I have ever wanted more than this,
That I have everything at stake to bring me fame.

I pray I don't fail,
I pray I don't fall.
I promised myself that I would do this to prove myself worthy.
I promised myself that I would come out to the top.

The stage is bare,
The lights are sharp.
The curtains expose me,
The music begins to play.

My palm are sweating,
My eyes are shining.
My heart is racing,
My feet are tapping.

I jump,
I light.
I gleam,
I bloom.
Let the dhol drive your soul.

Burning photograph
Captured an image of you
Igniting terror

Laced my love
With stardust
Because you
Needed space.

We humans are a mere spec of this beautiful universe. We're a strange species, full of endless emotions of which we let overtake out mind, body, and soul. There are far larger things to worry about in this world, so free your heart from all the negativity around you and surround yourself with positive energy. Live life the way that makes you happy, and that'll be your key to living a successful happy life.

CHERISH** every memory for it's simply a short moment.
LOVE every moment for it opens doors to endless possibilities.
EMBRACE every possibility for it can make your dream come true.
IMAGINE your dream for it calls for true happiness.
CREATE your happiness for it gives you a reason to live.
LIVE your life for it creates memories you will forever cherish.

I have visions of myself,
Dancing, Laughing, Loving.
I have visions of myself,
Screaming, Crying, Shouting.

Full of joy,
Full of regret.
Buried in depression,
Digging with obsession.

I belonged to no one,
Who belonged to everyone.
Sulking in my sorrow,
A helping hand is all I need to borrow.
I am ******* crazy. I am free. I am happy.
