Sometimes at night i get these visions in my head...
Visions which torment me in my sleep...
Visions of a life not lived
Dreams not chased
Risks not taken
Fears not dispeled
Efforts not put in
Love not fought for
Battles not finished
Words not said
Things not done
A life not lived to it's potential

I get these horrifying nightmares
I see myself growing old
All alone withering like a leaf in the winter of my life
Not a single soul by my side
No one to care for me
No one to even bother about me
Whether i live or die
It don't make no difference to no one
I don't see no hope
Only doom and despair
This crazy sense of guilt and regret just overpowers my senses
I weep profusely
But have nobody to lean on
I see myself drowning in my tears
My soul is bleeding from all sides
Nothing can cure it now

I sometimes fear that these visions might come true
And i'd rather die than live a life like that
I want to make a promise to myself
I will do everything i can to make sure that my life is nothing like these visions i keep having every now and then
I will fight
I will survive
Someday i will flourish
Someday i will blossom
God willing...i will fulfill every single dream i have

These are days of change.
Eggshell cracks,
Sun rising differently.

Sometimes I put my ear to
The ground and listen.
Heartbeat choirs of

Our unborn children.
Seeds of poets.
Write love; not war.

Sing me a lullaby
Put me to sleep
Stay at my side
Please never leave
Words I cannot utter
Because of too much pain
So sing me a lullaby
At least, keep me sane.

What you were at first
Was a beautiful red rose
A breath of fresh air

What you then became
Was a vengeful pointed thorn
Quick to ***** my hand

Tearing me open
Drawing blood as red as you
Just to heal your wounds

You apologized
But I don't trust you at all
Who knows what were lies

So the lesson learned
Is beautiful red roses
All still have their thorns
