you are a universal cosmic
particles of all galaxies & stars
that only see you when you can’t see
your own goodness
you are a sweet serenade
lullaby in the night
you held your arms
so tight and embraced the things
that made you here
you are a great sword
of words
that come from your mind
beyond what you didn’t expect to
you are a river
that flows
in being okay with good or bad situations
but whatever crosses your way
you can get it through.

Because
everything is evolving,
including you
who is in the process of
learning
and progressing.

Sometimes you gotta learn
the hard way,
so you can learn to appreciate
the things that’s already there.

change is inevitable
and everything is temporary
but all I could say is
that

you are a plant
that bloom
and grow;
you plant what you seed,
you seek what you see and
you believe what your heart
tells you
& by your experiences in life
it made you become wiser
to go out of your cocoon
& you realize that you have so much
potential and energy
to give something out to the world.


so let your wings spread
and shine like the brightest one.

the difficulty with remaining shrouded
comes in direct opposition to the desire to be seen

I won’t be defined by subjection to outsider’s projection of self,
but still, I am human, and the pull to be understood lingers in a way they don’t tell you about in self-help books or charts that mark the planets and stars

I wonder how loved ones will ever catch up, as I’ll forever live my life three hours behind

out of arms
out of lungs
out of head
it’s an effort to be dragged
catch beneath the lock
where i tore my lid three years ago
each descent returning
spit from the cavernous body of marx

an empire of glass
the wretched of centre city
mop the open wound of 24/7 affairs
*** and grease stained upholstery
apologising for everyone else's mess

it’s blasé-faire
it’s pro-choice
corporate megaphone through the airwaves
distilled into the perfect idiot subject
enjoy life
enjoy life
enjoy life
enjoy life
enjoy life :)
the happiness industry would have you believe that all the ills of the world will be solved through positive thinking :))

like smoke
you drift apart

its a sad old cliche
your braided hair
lost
in the glare of sunlight
turned
to obliterate

i hadnt looked in years
i hadnt looked in years
but there you were
caught in my mind
loved without remorse
or so i wished.
