we were both like the moon -
casting light during the darkest nights.
but despite the potential we possess,
we are unable to reach the greatest heights.

staying still,
holding our ground.
just patiently waiting -
to finally be found,
and to go where we are bound.

one and the same.
but that's just where it ends.
we can never surpass
being just two good friends.

At cross roads once again
No idea where to go
Lost in space, drowning at sea
But, whatever flows flows

The mighty winds
Used to carry me well.
Now like a leaf from above,
I struggled and fell.

Second star to the right?
But there isn't one star in the sky.
Will I ever find my way back?
There's no other choice but to fly.

There is nothing more stimulating
Than the thoughts I have at night.
Just when I try to fall asleep,
My mind puts up an exhausting fight.

Mind exploded, heart broken,
Thinking of the things that could’ve been.
Words unspoken, melodies unsung,
And views left unseen.

A song paused just before the chorus,
A film that never reached its ******.
Our story’s like a traveler in a forest,
Who forever lost its tracks.

From hours on end I thought of you
What could be going on inside your mind?
I am here, in darkness, pondering
How I am scared to get left behind.

Should I tell you the truth?
Not sure if it’s a risk I wanna take.
To lose you or to be with you?
Now it’s a matter of make or break.

I saw you cry yourself to sleep last night
A tear-soaked pillow screams that nothing goes right
But I know you'll survive a fall no matter the height

Your thoughts- so vicious and wild
You'll see your hopes and dreams get defiled
You're in a war; you'll find yourself all riled

Monsters lurking in the shadows‘ll jump at you
Your darkest nightmares old and new
Wherever the battlefield, I know you'll make it through

This is not just a physical battle
Your mind, your heart, your soul will rattle
You’ll hear your inner demons prattle

Prepare for your life's longest night
Prepare for an unrelenting fight
The bitter-sweet end will soon be in sight

Breathe deep, firmly hold your ground
Do not give in; do not, in your sorrows, get drowned
As you will go to where you are truly bound

You are not your parents
Nor who the cruel others make of you
You are the hardbound books you read
and the songs that by heart, you knew

You are not just one color
You are not just blue, red, nor green
You are the beats that you dance to
And the words you say you mean

Write  your own dreamy stories
The pen is on your hand
Don't let others write your plot
Don't let it come out so bland

You are who you make of yourself
Don't let the world tell you otherwise
Try to explore deep inside of you
Before your true self pay the price

Longing for a love so deep
Deprives one the most peaceful sleep
You endlessly wonder what you lack,
And the lost opportunities you can't take back

You think you are the problem why
Why in this world, you cannot fly
But in reality you just cannot see
That you bleed of so much love and glee

remember the feeling of falling,
before you enter the land of dreams?
i felt that in your presence,
not knowing what the future deems.

felt when I looked into your eyes,
and once our fingers intertwined.
we face an uncertain tomorrow,
with both our hearts aligned.

but no one can ever be prepared
to face dark, rainy nights,
when you've gotten used to sunny days,
and nights under bright city lights.

opened my eyes, realizing the fall.
head throbbing, but I'm awake.
was it a dream? a nightmare?
why does my chest still ache?

the line blurs between real and fake,
a memory, or a soul’s mistake?

I inevitably stood before a world with wars
And won most of battles up until now
I never did keep track of the scores
Now I face myself filled with questions of how

They say the greatest battles lie within
Within my mind's mountains and heart's seas
I'll arm myself, wait for the battles to begin
Begin to march to the land of the yearned peace

Someone whispered to me "be still and tough,
For the night's still long and filled with terror,
You'll fight with all your heart, that'll be enough,
You will win, then, the uncertainties'll be lesser"

He who's brave enough to go against the current
Shall find himself in a total foreign land
But only the exceptional finds it
As they're those who know how to take a stand

From birth to death they try to mold us
Into someone who we are truly not
But curiosity will always get the better of us
We'd rather be different than choose to go rot

Decide to not be a puppet of the public
Cut your silver strings and let go
Free yourself from the chains of orthodoxy
Go ahead my dear and put on a show!

I have weathered countless storms
And will continue to do so.
Why should I be scared of a flood,
When I can control the flow?

The stars may not align,
The universe may not be on my side.
But I won't be put out without a fight,
I have nowhere else left to hide,
I am here for the wild, wild ride!

Time enjoys to play with everyone and faith is his good ol' company
They mess with people hand-in-hand, revealing the subtlety

We are all wandering, unfortunate souls, willing victims to their ploys
One minute we plan our lives, the next we hear them make their noise

We drink, we breathe, we dance
Shrugging the darkness that lies inside
We drink, we breathe, we dance
Empowering the mortal pride

'Carpe diem!' we vehemently scream
Carelessly into the mountain crest
We swam in the uncharted waters of life
And drove our lives from east to west

There will arrive a time that we must halt
But that does not mean that we are to stop living
The unrelenting journey will continue on
Even after our beloved ones stop grieving

Breathe deep, breathe clear, my friend
For the path is long and harsh
Do not dare close your eyes
Do not; even after you reached the stars
