i look at the mirror.
i stare at myself.
how could i be an alien
under my very own skin?

i wear layers and layers
to cover the alien outside
but, each attempt i make
adds to the demon inside.

i cry.
i reason.
i spend hours in the dark.
to fight away the demon that has already made its mark.

just something about what i'm going through.
you are your own demon.

Liars

We all lie.
Even I
Even now
Even on the last three lines
Even on the last line
Even now
Even I
Even…

You are a rose and I am a simple leaf

You are a rose and I am a simple leaf
People adore you while I watch from the trees
You handle yourself with dignity and pride
While I'm easily swept by the wind's blowing tide

You are a rose the most confident of them all
And I am a leaf that can easily fall
You have this beauty that radiates love
That beauty you have I could sense from above

You are a rose that can only stay in the grass
And I am a leaf that wishes to be with you at last
But you are a rose and I am a simple leaf
People will adore you, while I can only watch from the trees

I see dreams of you

I have been seeing you so often in my dreams now
that it surprises me to think:
how could I?
and why should I?

How do I stop?

Why should I dream of you, when you're nothing, or when, at least, I am nothing but a nobody for you.

Dear God Dec 2014

Like a bolt from the blue, again...

It's time to start again to be free,
Free to be...
Free to *love
