What We Become
Cecelia Jan 2018
Dread lives longer
than happiness will thrive.
It keeps us going, it keeps us alive.

To wish and to dream,
of a Hollywood theme,
will soon be disrupted by a reality scene.

Putting our desires to ink then to breath,
is it really worth it, when it comes to death?

Is all we see really only a dream?
Is all that we want, just a perfect song?

Is all that we succumb, transform to what we become?

Talking to You
Cecelia Mar 2018
Talking to you makes me feel like I'm in Paris

This intense passion we both share for a moment
that brings us an overwhelming amount of
infatuated joy

It's incredible, it's magical ...
it's Real.

Sour Sunrise
Cecelia Jun 2018
The sunrise comes
But you're not here
My mind can't fathom
That you've disappeared

Your existence can haunt
Several hallways
Several miles away
Though that does not mean
You were meant to stay

You've disappeared
Only in atoms
But you'll live forever
And ever

Your Kingdom
Cecelia Jun 2018
Here is your mighty throne
Take it as your own

Here are a couple presents,
Desperate, hungry peasants

The power will reign,
And the city will thunder

Always look up,
And never wonder

This is all yours,
Now and forever

And they all love you,
Everyone together

Hallway Mirage
Cecelia Jul 2017
Drowning in a flooded hallway of despair
will be the youthful death of me.

To try to understand the current scene lying in the
city, right besides me is a mirage.

An enclosed mirage
that keeps me from nothing but
the truth.

Real Talk: My Dreams
Cecelia Aug 2019
My subconscious is another world
It drags me into the luring apparition of
Love and fear

This world is filled with what I want
At the base of it all
It's another world I'd love to live in

But this earthly world drags me back upon each wakening
The reality of love and fear
But it's not worth it
And it's not what I want

Thus every waking moment
After experiencing my dreams
Is a nightmare, and a torturous reminder
Of what I don't have
And of what I can't feel.

Opening the Door
Cecelia May 2018
Here I am with the key to the door
Standing, waiting
All of this pain is now overcome with pride
It wasn't easy but here I am
I am waiting
Open the door

No

I will open it with joy
And pride
Because I now have the key

Can I go back?
Cecelia Jun 2017
The worst day of my life was when it was ripped away from me.
It was a just a dream but suddenly it was real.

Can I go back?
Can I go back?

I'd give anything to go back.
To relive to very dream that set me free.
But now I'm caged up again.

Can I go back?

It's scary but true that I'd rather die there than live here.

If I Give You Freedom
Cecelia Aug 2018

If I write you the song?

Will you hop on the plane

If I remove the carpet
Will you dance on the floor?

If I leave you to freedom
Will you walk out that door?

Ropes of Anxiety
Cecelia Jul 2018
I feel as if you are holding me by my throat
With the ropes of my own anxiety

Yanking the rope tighter and tighter
While I suffocate with no control

Why do you do these things?
Can't you control your own lives and not mine?
I have done nothing to deserve this ...

I would speak but I feel so tightly wrapped
Around their power
That I haven't any left

How does one free themself?
How do I free myself?

Divine Natural Wish
Cecelia Jun 2018
I want to see you face
I want to hold your place
It doesn't have to be disturbed by the sour world

Be awakened by the nature
Who's calling for you? Who's calling for me?

Soft ink draws rough words
The silk solid sky, suddenly winks an eye

What is there to be angry about?
Enjoy this dream void you've now stepped into

This dream is calling for you, and calling for me.

fascinatingly painful

a black and white vision
of dreams in color

just an embodiment of
the object called life

afraid to know
yet we all know

afraid to see more
yet we crave it

because it is art
a dream

a dream called
Reality

Untitled
Cecelia Aug 2017
I don't know what to say to them.
All they do is distort my own view.
All they do is try to condemn
My own world that I've created through you.

How could they know what I haven't said?
How could they share what they don't understand?
It makes me want to stop wishing I was dead.
But at the same time, to wish I was under command.

One that's not my own, because when I'm free to my own self,
I reveal too much.

Relief
Cecelia Oct 2017
When I feel pain, all I can wish for is to feel relief

However when I feel a painless relief, all I can dream of is the pain

Pain and I are intertwined as one
I've known it too long for it to leave me behind.

I am nothing without the burning sweetness it brings me.

Before
Cecelia Apr 2017
The end will come, and one can only wish it's the end of life.
It is worse.
It is the raging war of pain that will fall upon you.
The day, the moment that will last for what seems like a lifetime.
You'll cry, scream, not care, see things, remember things,
You'll be introduced to the new beginning of pain.
You'll be utterly Insane and it will all be from one being.
You can try to run but you can't avoid that the end is on its way.

Mountains
Cecelia Jun 2018
Gracefully dancing in the wind
Holding my best friend's hand

Laughing at all the good
and all the bad

Bonding over nothing
yet everything

Confused but determined to
reach such aspirations

Until the storm comes,
whisking her away ~
though somehow she stays

But the wind has changed her
Stronger than before,
stronger than it has even changed me

Where are you going and
how much more can I bare?

Racing To Adventure
Cecelia Jul 2018
What is racing faster?
The clock - or my heart?

Adventure is out there
And I've never heard it pronounce
My name better before!

The flashing scenes of constant action,
The beautiful lives
Give off such an attraction!

It's all for me, for you, for
Us
Race to it now before it turns to dust!

It's up to your will to save this plant
Still it's very much possible
And,
Very much fun

Liberation

Please free me from this doubt
As I anxiously roam about

Thinking of all that has come and gone

The times never seem to last long

Yet long enough to feel regret

I look to you for liberation
As I plea with eager desperation

Set me free,
so that I too can escape the chain

Don't Ignore the Rain
Cecelia Mar 2020
Ignoring the rain drizzling down
Wiping away despair
Allowing distance, drama and reflection
Is a crime

Ignoring the clouds
Forming your heart
Forming your thoughts
Bringing clarity
Wrapped in confusion

Such beauty
Such natural explosions from within
Must not be ignored

The Feeling
Cecelia Jun 2018
Infinite is an endless quantity,
But it is widely known

What I feel, is a feeling too strong

No one can see it,
But all can hear it

No one believes what they can't touch,
But once something touches them,
They're suddenly believers

All we speak, all we write
Is recycled through time

But the feeling,
The feeling we share -
Will always be there

But we don't know the effect

The effect is bad
And will paralyze you in fear
Now you know why I am here
Scared.

Ode to Anxiety
Cecelia Jul 2018
Breaking free from all that I've chained myself to
You have left me here
But I've chosen to stay

When will the day come where
I myself am not a slave anymore?
Not to you, not to me, but the anxiety
Deep inside of me

I am tired of waiting for the fear to pass
I will continue to run and run to my own
Dignity at last.
Personal, current feeling.

Up There
Cecelia Aug 2018
Washed up illusions
Painted by the most insane

They’re floating in a fiery space
Where they’ll never land the plane

Do they even care of
How they are, up there?

They’re drowning oh so elegantly,
Destroying slowly all they meet
Because inside they feel so beat

They are so wrong, can’t you tell?
But whom will truly break the spell?

To Drown
Cecelia Oct 2018
I tried to run as fast as I could
To avoid falling down the well
Deep into the unknown
And the feared

Little did I know
I had already fallen
All the way to the bottom

How could I have been so blind?
How could I not have known?

For so long I've tried to hide
From the truth I knew deep inside

Now the time has come where
I can no longer run
I've only the option
To drown in reality

Unheeded (untouchable)
Cecelia May 2020
There she is, like a wildflower sitting on top of the world
You can see her, you can breathe her air
But you cannot touch her.

If she didn’t want to be found out
She wouldn’t dangle so close to the ground
Right?

If she allowed me to see her colors, smell the scent
And feel the petals,
She must want me to know more and more.

But I cannot obtain more.

No one seems to care, am I the only one
Who does treat this wildflower in an unheeded manner?

I admire the beauty, the mystery and the brilliance
Coming from this flower.
This is no typical flower, even if it is,
The fact that it is stuck up in the air, is unfair.

I cannot help but desperately crave to bring it down
Bring it down to ground level
And hold it tightly in my hands.

Even though it is out of my reach,
Even though I keep discovering more about this wildflower,
It will never be enough.

I will never learn enough.
I will never stop craving more.
it's about someone if you look deep

Much quicker than it should

Face to face with death itself
Meeting him is just a stroll down the lane

And face the flowers and light

So I see the Grim Reaper
And I am turning away
Goodbye to this dangerous weeper
