I just wanna say that,
I really tried hard, maybe even harder
To compose myself again
I did so many things to distract me from the pain
I thought that I am already okay
I didn't expect that you really have mastered ways on how to break me
Every move you make,
Every step you take
Every words you say
Just you're mere existence
*breaks me
It's the things we love most that destroy us
It's a struggle, a dilemma;
One that have always been
but a procurement of
emptiness and insecurity,
in the way of a fish out of water.

While life and death was never
brought to front,
it was simply the matter of
awaiting the alloted time.

It would've been good to recognise all the weaknesses and treachery at a glance but in that split second when a point was made, naught came to mind
but a lesson of life.

Of simple humiliation,
of swallowing that lump in the back of your throat and suppressing that gargantuan rise of emotions in the chest, heavy and foreboding.

Because it is then you learn,
of yourself and the world.

No one promises that it'll all be fine,
but there's more to life than
failures and setbacks.

On the day past the point of living,
maybe then you'd understand that it all is necessary afterall.
The cold textured feelings, ripping up my arm,
the saddened look, I give out - screaming help.
The black and white layer is for a reason,
the mask of the witch doctor, laid on her face,
I don’t want to involve myself in beauty so painful,
it’s seems so sadistic of me, yet an artistic advantage.
When you scream out and call me wrong,
I've learnt to love the agony that pain brought.
The reason for the pain is because when it began,
it began on false alarms - they mistook me.
I was once a young girl, so free and angelic,
then it all began when I realized everything,
I was a bully to the young, a monster inside my soul,
I hid away from everybody, except isolation itself.
A girl known as angels came to worry for me,
I cried out because I am the blood thirsty demon.
She did not know that the dress that she wears for enchantment,
is a witch-crafted nightmare of a long lost devil.
I remember when I loved him so dearly,
I wanted to be with him forever.
Little did I know, how foolish I were to even believe,
in fairy tales at all, the witches and the queens.
“Never grow up”, was the advice I was given,and honestly,
it was terrible advice sunk into me.
I love the pain smothered in the darkness,
welcome to my game, the world of dim.
A girl known as angels came to worry for me,
I cried out because I am the demon,
There by the bushes, picking all the leaves,
I felt their patterns exchanging my thoughts.
I really don’t get it. If I were a demon,why did I feel like an angel once?
Why did they paint my wings white?

Horses gone wild
stumping down hard
in my head
Canaries breaking
vocal cords just to
make me mad

my world of notions
tumbling,crumbling
it's a massive rock slide
in my cerebrum
Hack
my skull with axes so
I can feel the breeze
and set my mind free
My head was just on fire too much stress maybe a poet can get overwhelmed at times by emotions after all emotions makes us who we are

You bit your lips,
All bloodied and damp
From the despair
That consumed your teeth

Your eyes
weary and lifeless
From the silent nights that fueled
Your torment

Your body,
A testament to the
Musings of a wrecked ship
That is yourself

Your words eager to blow forth
From the mouth
That has rolled with
The bitterness of dark solitude

Your mind
a mere shell
of madness and escape

Your life
An empty message
That the world is a hopeless clash
Of selfish souls
Thirsty of imprinting their kind
With the demons
They themselves have reared

This much I know is true:
I'm as much me,
As I am a part of you,
Your words will never change this,
Nor distance, nor time,
And some day in the future,
Again, you will be mine
We will be together again, whether it is in this life or the next

I dont know what's right anymore.


And even if i did,
would it even make a difference to me?
