I write another to the void,
just 'cause I don't know what else to do with my day.

Declaration of emptiness.
A taxidermy bird.
A dark room in the core of the sun.
Two legs on a wheelchair watching a marathon.
A soldier in a war who's lost his sword.
Devil on his knees, praying to go back to Eden.
A dead man's soul asking for another chance.
Moon, jealous of the stars that can shine themselves and don't have to beg.
Mistake after mistake, you can't control your restless hand.
You can't take back the clock's hands.
Reading a book over and over again, expecting it ends different.
A king of a small land, in front of Alexander the Great.
Mom, would Dad come back home again?
Trying to light a flame under the rain.
An apple tree hating the spring, for it’s like the drynessβ€”
for it feels the fruits came from hurt,
but the hurt comes from itself.
The wind became mad, so she hit her head on every wall she saw,
but they call her wild in the end.
Hope was just a name you could choose for your kid.
Giving up is the only way.
Giving up is the only way.
