What if,
you're becoming the person you hate?
you're becoming the person you thought you'd never be?
will you be crazy or will you just go with the flow of life?

What if,
we never experienced being sad,
will we appreciate the times when we're happy?
Or will you be crazy and live like an idiot?

What if,
we never experienced pain,
you think life would be happy?
Or will it be plain like your heart?
Do you guys agree that "what ifs" are the most painful one?

What shall I call you?
Should I call you my friend? Despite my heavy weight you still catch me every time.
Should I call you my enemy? I do hate you. I hate that I can never hate you.
Should I call you my sibling? Sounds incestuous.
Should I call you my lover? I don't wish to only have you in between my bed sheets at three in the morning.
Should I call you my partner? Let's hold hands and use the buddy-buddy system forever.
Should I call you mine? Yet all I want to be is yours.
Should I call you by your own name? It's the sweetest thing that has ever left my lips.
I don't know how I feel
I am either too much or too little
I want to become ash
Fly away, free in the air and sky
Or to become ripples
In an unending ocean
Alas, I am grounded
with these feet that are so heavy
and these bones that can barely hold me
I am too much of the body,
Too little of the self
what remains of my mind is shadowed
what remains of my heart is cluttered

This joy, gone.
There is no clarity in murky water
No beauty in polluted skies
I feel very sad

— The End —
