Rejection hurts like it does
envelopes me into deepest sadness
pinching me within the chest
spreading the despair in every inch
grabs the heart and crushes it
with the strength of my palm.

Rejection makes me wish I cease
and cancel the existing life lease
Mundane things loses interest
and the state becomes quite desperate
I could go on but to feel this again
the gut wrenching pain

Quite nothing to gain
Quite everything is vain.

...But still, I always want to be the only star beside you. I never got to touch you, but I feel you all around me. I don't know you all very well, but I liked you wholly. You delved into my deepest thoughts, which I never thought would go that far.
I've never felt this way about anyone else but you.
I'll wait for you in a haze because you mean a lot to me.
I'll still like you, I'll keep the same feelings while yours wither, because liking you is something that cannot be untold.
Perhaps I'm thinking too far ahead because I'm still unsure about your thoughts.

when the rain cries
no one notices

been bad for so long
sad for so long

no one notices.
Druzzayne Rika May 2024
Forced from ancestral lands,
Paradise lost, a life undone.
Deserts encroach, sands reclaim,
Hope's flicker extinguished, one by one.

Fleeing across hostile borders,
Seeking refuge in shadows' embrace.
Home transformed to a crucible of pain,
Twisted fate etched on each face.

Lines of sorrow etched deep in their palms,
No solace remains, no beauty to find.
Only despair's echo in the desolate winds,
A symphony of anguish left behind.

Life is like a hourglass,
Never even,
Always clicking out,
Never stable.
I want to get to it's top,
But the curves make me fall,
Down and beneath it all.
Wanna become like it's kind,
Narrow neck always pined.
But never attained in the hands,
While the thoughts turn into sands,
Is life all about running errands?

I'll belong if I am me

But If I am anyone else
All I want is to fit in
I won't ever win

the game is twisted in design
And I am forbidden
To cross the drawn line.

raced through the night
to arrive on time
had no choice
just went to sleep
and woke
to another place, in space.
