most people like you
for being what they want you to be
not for being who you really are

the person they like isn't the real you
it's the one they want you to be

to make them like you
'be not you'
but if you are not you
you won't like you

what matters is that
you be the real you
be what you really want you to be
– not what others want you to be –

being the real you
will make you truly happy
to be you.
be YOUnique;

Some days,
I feel everything at once
Other days,
I feel nothing at all

But I smile
even though I feel sad
I try to be strong
even though I'm weak

I am quiet
but I am shouting inside my head
I tell you I am fine
but I'm not

I tell everything
of what's nothing,
and nothing
of what's everything

I hide the things
that matter the most
And those things that matter less
are the ones I put on show

Don't let appearances fool you
Not everything is what it appears to be
Look beyond what you see
Uncover the hidden truth behind it

There is a certain Beauty in Brokenness
And Purpose in Pain.

somewhere between
typing a message
and erasing it,
an untold story ends
something between
them would have changed
if only she clicked send
but she didn't
and so,
their love story
that haven't began yet ends

Star light
Star bright
Can I please get peace tonight
Been a struggle times are tough
I've just about had enough
Everything is just so rough
I wish upon a smile
Wouldn't want a burden on anyone
I know it's been awhile
Gaze upon something that should've been done
So star light, star so bright can I please get a peaceful sleep tonight?
despite being in war with love
i gave you my weapon
the very one you used
to destroy me
in war with myself
It's never too late.
The sun also takes
Time to rise,
But the sky
Never remains empty.

- Christian
Go slow but go far, it will be difficult but don’t give up. That’s it, don’t give up.
what hides in this chest?
a pleasure I treasure?
or a pain without measure?
