Words I dearly treasure
I'll cause no pain whatsoever
I am but a poor writer
I scribble now and forever
Sh.
I read a poem
about silence
aloud,
sat down,
held my breath,
wrote this.
Oh,
you can get through this,
its true,

And even in the darkness,
The stars shine for you !

Every day is a gift
And all we do is take

As life is often taken for granted

Time heals all wounds
Yet the scars still remain
A smile is plastered on your face
Yet your eyes are vacant with pain

They tell you to move on
That your feelings are aged and invalid
"You're always happy; you're not depressed"
Their words portray their ignorance
And still, you never rest

Time heals all wounds
So... you must be okay

My memories are fading
My life is but a petty existence
My mind is foggy
I can't feel a thing
I can't think clearly
I have to be coddled
So I don't accidentally hurt myself
This is just an episode
It will change
I'll be myself
Perhaps tomorrow
But not today
My life continues on in the distance
Like my life is a movie
I feel so empty
I feel so useless

Khaab
Every cell of her body screams
As light falls on her
She is done with these days
carrying this big ball of fire around!
She craves for the nights to come
The dark comforts her
As she loves playing with her demons
Under the moon.
What's up with her!? I can't understand...

When you're weak
I'll be the foundation beneath your feet

When you feel alone
I'll be by your side from morning until night

When you are hurting
I'll be the one to take your pain all away

Just say the word, and I'll rescue you from all you've been evading

When no one listens
I'll be there, I'll hear your voice. I'll always be there

Lean on me, in my arms
I'll keep you safe from all harm
Some days you feel like that best seller
Up front, all glorious on display

Some days you feel like you’re in the the 90% off bin...
(Only needed to prop a door open)
Ups and downs... but you’re  still priceless
