My relationship
with you
is toxic

Connection is only
happening
through our phones

You are not supposed to feel happy all the time
Tell yourself this again:
I
am
not
supposed
to
feel
happy
all
the
time

What if you just skipped
moments hoping there will be
better ones.

What if everything that you want
isn't meant for you?

I was born in a country
where you aren't respected for what you are
but for what you have, what you own.

I don't want to belong , I want to feel secure
To do what satisfies my soul
To take care of my passions
And love myself as I am.

What we believe in is ours,
it is intimate.

People come to you
When they need you
When they can’t survive without you
They trust you with their loved ones
They have hope that you’ll make them better
Respect their bodies
Give them space to heal
Do not suffocate them with medicine
Pills can ruin lives

To reach out
When you’re not okay
Is an accomplishment

You don’t have
To find a meaning
To everything that
happens to you

How
Do you escape
Your thoughts?

You cannot expect
Others to like you when
You’re broken

Create
A refuge
In yourself
So can you can visit it
Whenever you feel unworthy

Be honest
Speak about it
Give a voice to your anger
Let it all out
Show your vulnerabilities

I cannot write
When I am happy
Disturbance is a must

The people who died are not martyrs
The people who died are innocent
They did nothing
They suffered
Because they live in a country
That hurt them
And destroyed their future

You are made
Of so many beautiful details
You cannot be replaced

This is the street of my school
Where my parents used to drop me off everyday
for fifteen years
This is where I've grown
where I made friends
where I learned how to write, how to read
This is where I've had dreams
of a better me, a better self
This small space was my whole world
All my childhood is shattered
All my memories are destroyed

Normalize the feeling
Of giving up
And not having
Enough to hope

You cannot hear your own thoughts
When you are surrounded by chaos

Slow mornings help us relieve our tension

Speak about it
What bothers you
What makes you mad
What turns your world upside down

This body is yours
Take care of it
Nourish it
Listen to its signs

What doesn’t make sense now
Will find meaning later

We create our lives
With all the decisions that we make
And the opportunities that come through
But if we’re not happy about it
It is okay to leave it
And start again

I deserve
Rest
Sleep
Lying down
Looking at the ceiling
It is okay
If I feel empty
Overwhelmed
Tired

It feels right
It makes you feel alive
You don’t have to question it
Even after so many years

There is a kind
Of love
That walks to you
Slowly
Passes by unseen
Unnoticed
You will discover years
Later
How much it helped you
Believe in yourself

How can you introduce yourself to someone
When you haven’t met yourself yet?

When society rejects you
Nature will open its wide arms
And let you in

I was always fascinated with words
The way they could change you
And let you see other people
In ways you never thought were possible

Sometimes
we fail
to express
a love
so deep
so strong

Sometimes I am unable to see it
see how lucky I am
to breathe
to move
to have a job
Is it okay if things stopped making sense ?

Sometimes
Not understanding each other’s behaviors
is a normal human condition

Talk to yourself
Everytime you
Have doubts

There is someone out there
Looking for your soul
Searching for you

You will never fit in
If you try too hard

You will never succeed
If you can’t trust yourself

Sometimes
The things that matter the most
Drain us

Believe
In
The opportunity
Given
To you

Absence
has a strong
presence

Why does my happiness
Always depend
On external
Components?

Miracles
happen everyday even if
you don't want to
see them

Small things
Little details can take so
much space
in your mind

All I wanted to do
when I was young
was to grow up
Is it too late to change
my mind?

It is your choice
to either choose
the light
or lay in the dark

Give a voice
to all the thoughts
that speak in your mind

Keep going
no matter
how much
you are scared
of failing

Keep
your mind
busy
fill it
with hopes
dreams
what you never
expect would happen

Do not expect
anything
to happen
without
your constant
care
and time

Do it
whatever causes you
pain
awkwardness
embarrassment
Make it happen
even if you are
unexperienced
beginner
with too many hopes
