Heavy memories that reside in feathers
pulling them down like an anchor tied to a bird
cobwebbed feelings left unattended like worn-out sweaters
just another girl with thoughts that scream to be heard.

Are you afraid of shadows?
Are you afraid of the dark?
Ethereal wraiths wandering about
their bodies are nothing but tear-filled hollows
everyday passing through their loved ones
hoping to be seen, hopping to be touched
despaired prayers once begged for a spark.

Under the sunlight, you don't think
these transparent creatures exist
the living, the breathing, have souls to reflect
under the clouds and sky so blue
but they are mere deceptions
to hide the ones without boundaries
those are the ghosts you can't see through
and you realised that you're one too.
