can't wake up,
itยดs not a dream,
trying to escape it,
with no way out,
just dissociating,
disconnecting from the world,
the feelings,
the thoughts,
from everything,
entering the void,
a simple retreat,
only I am there,
a time out

Woven into space
Spun from the same dust
Born from the cosmos
So when the stars collide
Remember me in their constellations

I trace your name across the night,
With solar ink and lunar light,
Each syllable, a burning thread
โ€˜Tween stars that have not shifted red
That I still count each night in bed.

I know you do the same for me
Beneath some distant canopy.
Upon your lips, my name a sigh,
A whispered vow to midnight sky
That tethers us, both you and I.

Our names are written line by line,
With diamonds set to intertwine
As constellations from above,
Devoted to the keeping of
The tacit truth of starlit love.

For now, I will talk to the birds

For now, I will exchange
these thoughts that have been
floating in my brain.

I knew this was coming-

It doesnt make it hurt less

When you said his name my heart stopped
Any time you look at him
No
This is wrong

You deserve joy
Only joy
Understanding has fleeted

But I need to realize
Another chance
Causes another heartbreak
Kindness between us is gone

As
If
Desire
Yelled
Never

Every no turned
Lies to yes
And he will be yours
Your happiness is more important
Not my sanity
Even in the longest run

Free birds ๐Ÿฆ…

As much as I can see can I go
as much as I dream can I be
as much as I seek can I find
as much as walk can I reach
I was living a life of a falcon
with the dreams of an ostrich ,
and had to guide my own like eagle

As much as I can see can I go
My eyes could see freedom but the wings
Couldn't fly to freedom
As much as I dream can i be
Only the dream of freedom was in my head
The lost bird that was caged for years dreaming of freedom
As much as I walk can I be
The freedom couldn't reach to but I had to walk to freedom
I was living a falcon dreams ,that I could spot all the danger nothing goes unnoticed
Yet am eagles
Yet I could run the race like a ostrich

Dream you never existed,
For my life that you made twisted,
You'll go to hell,
I am dumb but I can tell,
These nightmares chase my shattered soul,
No matter if I sleep with open eyes, cold,
Chases me every single second of my life,
Flashing scenes like a grave of dreams and strife,
Used to wonder why adults want to die,
But as I grew, I feel itโ€”like a silent cry,
This sad life,
Depressing smiles, fading like withered light,
My heart can end itself anytime...
...drowning in veins of sorrow and fading rhyme.

I am a resilient seed in the eye of the hurricane.
Once the storm calms, I will bloom and nothing can uproot me.
I don't care if every other plant is wiped out.
I don't care if I am the last one standing.
I refuse to care anymore.
You failed as my haven.

The experiment,

In the perfect Brew,

With the eons, that

Superior life forms,
   would fall,
      and climb.
One would come
   forward with
       it's claim.
With its, superior
   *****,  known as
      the brain.
They would break
    into tribes, to
       numerous to
           name.
Inability to share,
   would bring, strife,
      to the game.
It seems, the fall
   of the "humans"
      will "Be"
What can I do
   that's best
       for "Me"
Not, what's best
      for "We"

Sultry summer breeze whispers,
Cools warm skin, carrying floral notes.
The gentle padding of tender soles treading
Plush moist earth. Pulsing planet perceptible,
Seamlessly sending signals as through osmosis
She is ready. Seeded and sprouting with new
Verdant growth. To feed the hungry cycle.
To give fresh inspiration to all creation.

always feelinโ€™
overwhelmed,
stressedโ€”

heartโ€™s gonna
break,

brain wonโ€™t
shut off,

so you canโ€™t
fall asleep
and forget.

is this a test?

why does the
world
treat you this way?

youโ€™ve come
so far, but
you find yourself

lying awake
at nightโ€”

convincing yourself
that everythingโ€™s
gonna be alright.

youโ€™ve gone so
numb, you need
just one reason

to keep going.

because youโ€™re
one step closer
to breaking

than making it
through another day.

let this haunt youโ€”
this rough
journey

isnโ€™t what
you make it
out to be.

the pathโ€™s only
less traveled

when you go
alone.

but with time,
the sun will
riseโ€”

light will
touch the road,
and show you

where to go.

so let this haunt youโ€”
and carry on.
inspired by slavesโ€™ โ€œlet this haunt you.โ€

this oneโ€™s for the people who lie awake, wondering if they can keep going.
sometimes the past doesnโ€™t let goโ€”but you still can move forward.

I still remember his hands on me
Touching me everywhere
Everywhere he shouldn't
I still live under the same roof as him
Acting like it never happened
Acting like a loving family
But still I feel his hands on me
I told my mom
She knew everything
Yet nothing ever happened
Yet I sleep crying cuz I feel his hands on me

Faizi ne Zainab se ishq ka izhaar kiya tha,
Dil se dil tak ek raaz-e-muhabbat kiya tha.

Tune umr ka farq humein dikhla diya tha,
Zainab, teri baat ne dil toot gaya tha.

Teri muskaan mein Faizi ka khwab basta tha,
Par yeh umr ka farq ne sab chheen liya tha.

Har saans mein tera hi naam raha Zainab,
Faizi ka yeh ishq tune kyun na samajh liya tha.

Faizi ke qalam se yeh ghazal likhi gayi hai,
Ke Zainab ke ishq mein umr bekaar hai ab.

Am I Relaxing, or am I relapsing?
Who's to say when not even myself knows

But she does
My Ignorance does
All my friends do too

But what makes me keep doing?
What keeps me up at night?
Is my Motivation within my addictions.. or to beat them.
Is it my stress or every past trauma that I give reason.

Nonetheless, I do not know
I Dont have an answer

Do you?

Life hasn't been so easy
Sometimes you really have to persevere
We all have a problem, but it still has a solution
We still overcome it right?

So are you going to give up on the problems you are facing now?
Don't try to give up
Our right time will come, not now but soon.

Don't rush life too much
Vienna will always wait for you
You don't need to be perfect
You just need to be real, to keep growing.

Just work smart, little one
The right time will come for you to overcome it
Reach your dream and be independent
Fix the wheels in your world that you needed to fix.
Never stop trying..

For a moment slow
I heard the wind blow
When I saw your smile
I held a child
And smelled the rose
In the sun grows
Not for the touch
A moment of such.

For a moment slow
I heard the wind blow
Etched in my heart
Never to part
A gentle breeze
Playing melodies
Not for the touch
A moment of such.
