balance
you are
        everywhere

and im nowhere

you are
          everything

and im nothing

life always finds its
its sad
       when
             love
                    dies

on the other hand,


something
that
never
existed
cant
die

mine
im sitting here
      daydreaming about

               you

                            your hands

your lips

                     your body

feeling them
       (you)
     all over me

now

    all the time


because i remain yours
      but youre no longer
is not wanting to lose you
            really all that wrong?

is wanting to be by yourside
              really such a crime?

is waiting to see you every night
            really that bad?

i dont need you to breathe at night,
    but your scent makes the nightmares
        alright.

i dont need you to have a good day,
      but your smile makes a cloudy day
          cozy and warm.

i dont need your hand in mine,
     but it does make the walk
            easier and bright.

i dont need you.
        you dont need me.
           cant we be together
                 and let love be kind?

two hands we have,
      one for each other,
              one for the rest of life.

is loving you through it all
       a pressuring act?

is wanting the same
            just the delusional way?

do
    we
         not
              deserve
                            a
                            second
                                       chance
                                               at
                                                 light
                                                        in
                                                           this
                                                                 dark?
i am responsable for the sins
             of my past.
of the pain i've caused,
           of the heartbreak i've brought.

                 i am aware of all my wrongs.

i no longer think of myself as a victim,
                     nor a martyr,
                       nor the image of injustice,
             nor am i undeserving of what
                     has happened to me.

i've seen my mistakes,
        i've seen my failures,
               i've seen where i'm lacking,
and i own up to it.

      i've wronged and been wronged.
such is life.

i see myself no longer as weak,
         powerless,
              defenseless,
                  innocent,­
                        or broken.

life has brought me here
       where i have guided it.

i am responsable for the sins
             of my past.
of the pain i've caused,
           of the heartbreak i've brought.

                 i am aware of all my wrongs.

but...
    
                                  does that mean
                                my wrongs should go
                                       unforgiven?

                                           or that i                
                                      deserve
 ­                                              to be
                                                  alone?

whatever you do
for yourself

we're all made of stardust
with some melancholy
completed with nostalgia

but we still shine so bright

What you shoulda done
I miss you
but I’ll never tell
not because of them,
because of you
because I don’t want
You
to know
‘cause even though
it was unfair
it was still your fault
because you
shoulda known
shoulda done better
shoulda hang on.

I miss you
but you’ll never know
‘cause I’ll only say it
this one time
and
never again.

Because you shoulda
been here
even if you were far
you shoulda stayed
and faced the tides.

Blue
Sometimes all I wanna do is
be sad
It's all I write about
It's all that I am.
.
Sometimes all I wanna be is
Blue
It becomes my mood
It becomes my truth
.
Sometimes sadness washes over me
And I let her
Like welcoming an old friend
Knowing they will soon leave
.
Sometimes all I am is
Nostalgia
It drowns me in sorrow
It drowns me without color
.
But it's okay, they're a part of me
There's no denying it
.
But now they don't linger
They just come to greet me
To know about my life
.
And then they say goodbye
.
Sometimes all I wanna be is sad
And I'm alright

What I am
I am
.
I am
the product of my surroundings
.
I am
the result of my parents
.
The influence of my friends,

All that, is what I am
What formed me
What brought me here
.
Their mistakes run in
my veins
.
Yet, I refuse
to be defined by them
.
All of that
I am
.
But I will
define myself

fighting for uniqueness
that we have forgotten
to fight together as one

Art you made
Art you shall become

That's the lesson I've learnt.
.
We're not made of stardust
Or particles
Or a billion atoms running
Up and down our system
.
No
.
Art is what we're made of.
.
Art is what we aspire to do.
.
Art is what we inhale
and exhale.
.
Art is everywhere.
.
Art you made
Art you shall become
.
Art is what you
Dedicate your existence to
What you are devouted to
What your life resumes in
.
Art
.
Art is what you made
Art you shall become
.
Art
.
Artist don't burn
They don't turn into ashes
They don't return to the earth
.
Artists return to what
They're made of
.
They turn into their own
Version of stardust
.
Art

From art you were made
And art you shall become
.
Art you made
.
Art
You
Shall
Become

The Colour Blue
It is always there
           I can feel it all the time

         Adding flavour to all my reds
      Like a breath of ice cold air

What We Deserve
We deserve the world we live in.
.
We've worked too hard to destroy it
To stop now.
.
.
We deserve the wars being fought.
.
We've built too high our borders
To tear them down now.
.
.
We deserve injustice and discrimination.
.
We've made too much an effort to build social barriers
To get rid of them now.
.
.
We deserve bad governments.
.
We've enabled them too much and given them too much freedom
To start complaining now.
.
.
We deserve all types of pollution.
.
We've taken nature for granted for too long
To take care of her now.
.
.
We deserve illnesses.
.
We've lived on excess for too long
To start worrying now.
.
.
We deserve the reality we live in.
.
We've been moulding it for generations
To break free from it now.
.
.
We deserve what we have.
.
We've put all our energy on it.
.
.
But who's to say we don't deserve
.
The chance to change as well
.
The opportunity to wake up
.
The drive to find unity
.
The knowledge to see the errors in our ways
.
.
Who's to say we don't deserve.
.
The chance to live.
.
.
We all have a little sadness that we have to live with
            And that's not a bad thing

Darkness, old friend
I am attracted to all things
that have some darkness to them
to the mysteries they hold
-real or imaginary-.

I'm not sure of the reason why
maybe because I have some
latent darkness in me or maybe
I want to know if I'm
   Real

Noise Pollution
Sometimes, the noise in my head
                                    is so LOUD
that it feels the only way to
                                    shut it OFF
is with the sound of a gunshot.
And their voices rose in unison,
the same tempo, the same rhythm,
their hearts beating as one.
.
And their songs resounded
in every corner of every street
and the sound could break walls.
.
And their footsteps echoed
and they had the earth quaking
at their mercy under their feet.
.
And they made us all believe,
and we sung all their songs
and our hearts became in synch.
.
And for a moment all was well,
and victory was floating in the air,
and they held their hands over their heads.
.
It was when the wind changed
and the sun turned to blood red
and joy turned into panic and fear.
.
And they ran and fought and charged,
and their songs turned to screams
and their footsteps to falling bodies.
.
And we all watched it from a distance
with closed blinds and windows shut,
without turning to assist them at all.
.
And silence fell, and it was deafening,
there was no sound, no air, no life
and they were all sinking to the ground.
.
And the rest of us would later say
nothing can be done to make a change
and we would all turn our eyes away.
.
And the elder will proclaim again
that Revolutions are all made from air
and return to their card games.
.
And the thing we never understood
is that it shouldn't have been theirs
but it should have been ours.
.
For the world is our own, all of us,
and it should be our voices in unison
and our hearts together as one.
.
And the Spirit of the Revolution would live
if we could all, together, just stand still
and reach out to our brothers and sisters.
.
And make a change without death,
and paint the world different than red
and build a future as one, side by side.
.
But we sit still, raging at the T.V.
cursing at every injustice that we see
hoping the next generation will get to live.
.

Body Language
I love the way
your breath tastes,
and how it
feeds me life.
.
I love the way
your hands talk,
and the things
they say to me.
.
I love the way
your eyes smile,
and how they
always match mine.
.
I love the way
your legs shake,
and how strong
they always are.
.
I love the way
your chest listens,
and sets the pace
for my own heart.
.
I love the way
you move your toes,
whenever you feel
you're so close.
.
I love the way
you hair falls,
and it hides your
face from the world.
.
I love the way
your back moves,
and how it feels
so warm and strong.
.
I love the way
your neck beats,
and how it
helps me exist.
.
I love the way
your mouth stutters,
when air and words
fight to come out.
.
I love the way
your body combusts,
because mine does
the same for yours.

Dreams, just that.
Dreams, just that.
Dreams, illusions of the mind,
mockeries from my subconscious,
my hopes and fears
introduced as an incoherent mass.
Senseless, without reason,
without purpose.
Dreams, just that.
They aren't true,
they aren't real,

But oh how they help me
breathe throughout the night.

I Wasn't There
I woke up one day, in an empty bed,
even though your body laid next to mine
and I couldn't move, I tried telling myself
that I was still under sleep's spell.
.
I closed my eyes, shut them tight,
asking the skies for another try
to have the strength to keep my head straight.
.
But time stops for no one, it carries on,
and with your laboured awakening
my world, a fractioned world became
and from my heart, a vital piece fell.
.
You opened your eyes without seeing
and my body grazed without feeling,
and in a bottomless pit my soul fell.
.
With your eyes closed you sighed,
and inhaled a different air than mine.
And with your eyes, from mine,
you couldn't your reflection find.
.
Without thinking you raised from bed
and I laid there, abandoned, behind,
without a pulse that said I was alive.
.
With a heavy step I followed in your footsteps,
imitating a shadow, looking, longing,
without understanding the spontaneous rejection
suffering from the coldest involuntary exile.
.
I followed your footprints throughout the day,
watching you from afar, your posture so hard,
there wasn't a smile, a laugh in sight.
.
I couldn't understand the reason why
your gaze was so blank, distant, empty eyes.
Or why was your smile missing, you were so sad.
.
I walked with you all day, near and far,
but the blankness from your eyes stuck,
you ate without taste, without being satisfied
and drank without thirst, not knowing why.
.
I noticed the hunch in your perfect posture,
the lack of rhythm in your walk,
there wasn't music that could cheer you up.
.
I figured I wasn't the only shadow in your back,
that your heavy walk was a result of that.
I wished I had the power to free your heart,
even when my presence you decided to disregard.
.
Watching you, the world seemed slow,
the air was thick and the oxygen suffocating.
It never occurred to me that I could leave.
.
You closed the entrance door behind you
and slid down with your back pressed against it,
when you hit the floor and sat down, you cried
but when I tried to come close you dodged my touch.
.
I couldn't understand what was going on,
my soul screamed of desperation, of frustration,
I was all but begging for an explanation.
.
After a while your tears dried, you finally stood up
with your back still using the door as support
in order to give your still trembling, weak, legs
the time they needed to regain strength.
.
You took your time to fix your countenance
and looking at yourself in the mirror, you breathed,
I didn't make another attempt at approaching you.
.
At night, when it was time to finally return to bed,
it was my sweatshirt that you wore for that task,
I saw one final, lone tear sliding down your tired cheek
before you allowed yourself to surrender to sleep.
.
Walking through the hall I looked at the mirror,
and it wasn't until I couldn't find my reflection there
that I remembered I wasn't there any more
.
I couldn't keep you safe.

Peace and dirt,
break that fight,
get together out in the wild.

Have a drink, get up and dance,
laugh together while you can.

Love with all your heart.

Watch your friends,
enjoy life.
.
Sing a song,
play guitar,
join in the game of Life.
.
Be aware of your smiles.
.
Take a chance.
.
Scream your lungs out.
.
Use the things around you,
take your time,
but make it last.

Keep these memories all your life.

Cook something,
eat it all,
enjoy the taste while you're still here.

Star a fire on the beach,
go camping out in the cold breeze,
enjoy the summer all your life.

Sing songs,
play games,
laugh with all your friends.
.
Take love,
but give love as well.

Enjoy it,
it is the moment,

The Hardest Part
The hardest part isn’t waking up
The hardest part is getting up
When you barely slept at all and your mind races
.
The difficult part is opening your eyes
When there are demons eating away your mind
When your heart is racing and your hands are shaking
.
The painful part is when the ache is too real
When its not just your mind shattering,
But your body breaking too
.
When you wheeze for air and clutch at your chest
When your hands are shaking and there’s not enough air
When the nightmares close up around you
.
But the most tiring part, the most exhausting part
Is trying to hide it all cause you’re supposed to be happy
Cause you’re not supposed to fall.

Alcohol Chronicles Pt. I
Give me enough alcohol and I'll become either
      a Poet or a Cynic.
           Maybe even both at times, although that never
                  ends up right.
                        A worded bitter will make you loathe the world
                                without your consent.
