when someone's sharing
part of their thought
in which they've already
shared

be silent and listen
to every syllable
every word
like you mean it

never speak of these words
"you said it already" and
ruin every possible moment

for they were so excited
to share those memories
that made them
jump over their bones

heavily filled with
much anticipation
to share every time
it could never slip
off their little mind

appreciate the
temporal happiness
and admire those eyes
that sparkles before
the story begins

why did i thought  i was getting better
who ever said i am?

its been months and i fell back
into the vast pit of nothingness

renewed my blades, supposedly for school
to slice paper boards for packaging lessons

everything is coming back to me. again
back to my head where it's not supposed to be

it comes and goes, comes and goes
as and when it wishes to

nobody really wants me anywhere
rather sympathetic to say it out loud

except for you

you're like the fog
that blinds my vision
the smokey obstacles
to my ambition

those forest-green eyes
that speaks a dozen tales
leaves no agony behind
and let none to sail

SNAP OF A TWIG

endless splinters
like an arrow dart
on countless fingers
that turned to ash

wilderness hut
clouded by your whispers
where i place my trust
or fall into a trap

I never understood the meanings of birthday
Or why people celebrates it

Another year of survival
Or another year closer to death

Random strangers getting together
To sing in unison and rejoice

For what uncanny thoughts there are
Behind the dim-litted candles
And the cake you once so loved

Force a smile and fake a wish
To ones who burns your dreams

It's just another ordinary day to me
To live a life like how it should be

if ever dear,
you found a shell by the sea.

keep it to yourself,
close to you.
it could bring you something
you never thought it would.

like a safety charm,
to keep you safe
and accompanied.

if ever dear,
someone breaks your sight.
grab your shell,
and hold it by your side.

remember what it could bring.
a little sun rays,
and a little peace.

if ever dear,
you realised it was not a shell
that you picked.
but a hope instead,
brought by some tingles in your veins.

would you still have
kept it close in you?

for you have not seen it in your eyes,
but your firm beliefs.

the one who's afraid of
speaking up to pray for another
whose words are tied into multiple
complicating knots over and over

constant unravelling of visions
behind the darkness in those eyes
never got its heart anywhere
but where it used to lie

citizens full of lies
my skin is getting dry
like a snake in disguise

dried skin swaying off my lip
waiting to be freed
exposing a healthier meat

with eyelids struggling to meet
sobbing is a penalty
like an anchored body

left to rot
