Ife May 2020
What are we,
But fragments of moments in a vast universes.
Cursed by our own creation and ideation of survival
We are the architect of our own destruction

Are u even you?
Your a blink of an eye,
Inter woven with million of years of memories
Impossible to grasp

Yet we torture ourselves with this ideation of perfection
Reaching out to nothing but a void

Take a step back
Breathe in.
And visualise how truly small your are
Like a needle in a haystack,
A temporary ripple in the sea of eternity.
Just remember ur passing by so breathe
Ife May 2020
I'm tired
Tired of the way you make me feel
Feelings sealed

Speak up you said
Talk to me instead

I did and u listened
Happy you was and glistened

But it was all a hoax
part of ur plan to keep me hushed

You made me this way you know
Planted your words into me as i grow

And your surprised by the fruit educe
it a little abstruse

Do i not matter
i should be smarter

Detach from your web, I might fly
I might fall

I'm just tired
Tired of the way you make me feel
Feelings sealed

sophia
long hair cut short.
apology after apology.
jackets often worn,
if not, sweaters or
long-sleeved tops.
anti-social,
not because
i hate people,
but i fear they hate me.
isolation in my bed,
sometimes,
panic attacks
in the bathroom.
constant overthinking,
whether 3 am or 3 pm.
scribbles thoughts
into poems,
but hides them.
pushes away,
even though i want
to pull them closer.
just a few sentences on (my) signs of depression.

He was a shadow, slick and empty
Full of greed and disparity
I push him away but he was drawn to my purity
A complex chemistry,
He and I
He devoured me and I felt alive
I searched for his love for all my life
And yet only did I find,
Simply a Devil trapped inside.

Intrépide
I might've shoved you off
but lately you're the only one
I'm thinking of
this morning I could barely
get out of bed
after last night's
cry I've shed

so I pinky swear to you
to not ever mess with you
(again)

I am a bee that stung you
little do you know, I've died inside too

nights became longer
songs became sadder
you became colder
and I've became sober
after "we" became over.
