you’ll comfort me like a best friend
A giving heart, a helping hand
time and space, you'll try to bend
millions you're willing to spend

But let me tell you once and for all,
no matter how far those hands reach
trust me when i say that
it'll only pull you in deeper like quicksand

Maybe one day you'll finally understand
how some broken things aren't for mend
and why this shattered heart stays
a no man's land

As long as you have God,
Your trusted friends,
Your loved ones,
Who know you inside out

And most importantly,
You.


You’ll be alright.

How is it that
People with money
Think they’re so powerful
High above everyone else
When the truth is
They’re only slaves
To nothing but
Numbers on paper

When I was a child,
I was taught poetry wasn't mild,
It was deep as the sea,
And it seemed truly unachievable for me.
I was taught poetry had to rhyme,
Every single line, every single time.
So poetry seemed out of my reach,
Like chasing a seagull down a beach,
Jumping ever so slightly away,
Or soaring into the sunny day.

So I never thrived for what I thought would,
No, Could
Never be.

I guess now I'm fixing the mistakes of past me.

Sadness is a feeling I want to feel
Just as much as all the days I’ve felt happiness
Anger and pain, I wish to fully endure
A slow burn remedy, perhaps the only cure.

Words have been spoken, feelings have been hurt
Lie, deny, sugar-coat the ache as much as you wish
Time is running out, patience is running thin
Nothing quite like destroying your own kin.

Reached out as far as I could’ve ever tried
No one listened, no matter how hard I cried
I knew long ago this journey’s one hell of a ride
But now it’s brought me to my lowest, slowly killing me inside.

My two childhood heroes turned out as enemies
My safe space no longer becomes sanctuary
The place I grew up in grew out on me
Entrapped within familiar walls where once, I felt free.

The shadows that surround me become my friends
Conversations with ceilings ‘till I reach my wit’s end
Past demons resurface and become part of me
Entrapped in my own cage of emotions, or am I free?

I know now this road’s the loneliest journey to take
I am my own hero, my own friend, and my own fate
The warmth within my bones will be the only source of comfort
Time will eventually dissolve, the disappointment and the hurt.

The demons of my past, future and present
I shall celebrate them with arms open wide
Happiness, sadness, joy, pain, love and fear
These feelings are feelings I wish to forever endure

People change, they’re ever-growing
The world evolves, time’s ever-changing
Our roads are long, they keep on going
Don’t hold your breath now,
nothing’s ever stopping

But you
In the midst of all that’s happened
Somehow you’re still you
Kind, passionate, beautiful
And perhaps everything in between
Still my favourite colour
You remain evergreen
