They say we fanthom our thoughts to constellations,
but in truth,
my thoughts are fanthom to storms.

They say we have flowers in us,
but honestly,
I only have weeds growing in me.

They say we picture death in darkness
but all in all,
I picture myself falling into absolutely nothing when it's all dark.

They say our inner demons eat us alive,
but has anyone ever thought,
that it is ourself who surrender to it.

They say we love writing poems for it is our unwritten thoughts,
but the truth is,
we are all just too afraid of the surreality that our thoughts may never be accepted if we speak of it aloud.
My surreality in a nutshell.

We would all have come to a point,
where we are just so done putting on masks,
to conceal of whom we are,
what we feel.

And we go on living our lives,
as if nothing much had happen,
that the scars in hands doesn't sting,
that the room is darker than the immortal night.

Questions not asked,
and answers never to be revealed,
uncertainty is definitely thick in the air,
and so albeit the tension.

But how do feelings overcome insecurities of the heart?
How do we live on to everyday's life as no roller coaster ride has happened?
To feel on the verge of a thin rope,
feeling all at once that the rope may snap.

*Why do I still put on a mask,
and tell myself lies?
feeling the verge in jumping a cliff of no tomorrow and I am so sick of having to put on a mask everyday.

I am of broken wings,
beaten up to no compassion.

I am of cracked windows,
cracked to pieces in vanity.

I am of dying flowers,
invaded of my liveliness.

I am of a thread,
snapping when I'm cut off.

I am of a porcelain doll,
abandoned and only to haunt the
living with my shattered face.
feeling rather broken tonight.

Nights like this,
had me thinking,
under the abyss of milky way and constellations above me,

if anyone is suffering?
if anyone is homeless?
if anyone doesn't have parents?
if anyone is being bullied?

if anyone is in grieve?
if anyone is lonely?
if anyone is dying?
if anyone is wondering like how I am now?

And I wonder and wonder,
even the heartbreaking truth is right in front of my face.
yet I just keep wondering.

And here I am,
of all bitter and sweet,
and how fortunate am I,
to be alive and maybe content with where and who I am now.

but I can't help but
keep wondering...

*if anyone feels the same as I do?
Overthinking about life.

Rain,
the sound of raindrops,
on my rooftop.
a pitch of black.
                 deep within.

Rain,
a whole insecurity,
fills with overwhelming,
like the stars of the dark night.
Holds me. Consumes me.
Eat me alive
              and left me in
                           silence...

Rain,
my demon comes to play,
in grieve.
in absolute compassion.
in death.
Seeking vengeance of the day,
and bearing the false.

Rain,
my companion,
drip, drop, drip, drop.
                    consumes me still...
                           little...
                                  by little.

Rain,
for eternity,
could leave me not,
even happiness found,
can never overcome.

                          *Drip, drop, drip, drop.
Something I wrote a year back.

maybe
one day
I will be the dying stars,
wasting my lights away
to make the world a little

*brighter.

A thin line
of
judgement
behind her
eyes
of lies.
