Heaven rained on me,
I breathed in the petrichor,
Bathed in the downpour.

Beautiful hearts are
beautifully broken too

Before you judge, ask why is it this way?
Listen to them, take it in is what I’d advise
All lives matter is what you say?
Could you please try and hear their voice?
Kindness could eventually beat this hate

Listen to their cries, worries and fear
Is that really what you want to hear?
Violence and mistreatment happens
Energy & positivity is the way to go
Stand up tall & lift your hands up in the air

Maybe if black lives matter then all lives will
Are you ready to take part?
To show the world the fire that is in your heart
To fight against the prejudice and malice?
Each person should unite and fight
Remember to lift your hands in the air

pain is a permanent marker
unremovable like coffee stains on carpet
undoable like stomach knots
unalterable like bad surgery
unwanted tattoos tell the truth

reminder of pain imprints in flesh
indelible ink writing on private parts
ingrained in memory like ***** rings around a tub
surgery scars reveal new skin

entrenched in the brain
pushed to the back of the mind
pain recorded, hidden, collated, undeleted
recycled every 14 days
triggered by foul smell, bad tastes and bitter tea

badly drawn with a pen
pain is a permanent marker
forever and binding

My ever changing mind,
Which was bestowed upon me by God,
Is an unfinished product,
Full of as many cracks as chiseled edges.
My unrecognizable reflection,
Which is composed of a momentary
Glimpse into a facade,
Shelters my conscience from the truth.

Remember the days of soft melodies
Of the dreams we once had
The adventures we've been on
Those sweet memories

Of the scent of books
Your vast walls of quests
The ink of time etched onto my mind

How one can slip into the
Never ending nooks
Of the universe
And cosmos

There's a place for you and i
In the stars
Where we can imagine a
Whole universe
For our own

We are the progeny of stars
Children of the mind
Of the universe

Where we can run
To all corners of the world
And live

We can find
So many of our memories
Put together by an orchestration
Of the universe

Do you remember those times?
Where we could dream away of time?
Those wonders of the skies

We live to exist
In this beautiful world
To be happy in these moments

When i remember
I feel as if
I'm in a place
Farther than the moment

Dwell on the beauty of life
And remember, you can live
For the moments where
You are the stars and the moon
And all of the world

Do you remember?
Those nights of dreaming away our time
Of the adventures
And never ending happiness

It meant the world

So please

Remember to not forget
The reason to exist

Remember to not forget
The memories of time

Remember to not forget
Why we are here
So we can live

So remember to not forget
That
I love you

~Fin.

I am ashamed
At how broken i am.
I apologize
For the amount of stress
I may cause in the midst of your
Efforts of trying to keep me held together.
I apologize
that i continue to fall apart
Before your glue has time to dry.
I apologize
That every time you pick a piece of me up,
Yet another breaks.
I am trying.
You are fixing me slower than i am breaking,
And i am ashamed.
Thank you.
Thank you for not giving up
On a broken piece of nothing.
