maybe my way of coping
is also the way that hurts me
by putting meaning into everything
it makes all the memories difficult to forget
like how the most special day for me was when a total lunar eclipse happen, year 2022
you don’t even have to ask
if i can keep you in my heart
you’ll always stay
here, always
why am i hurting myself at this hour
and when i’m feeling extreme emotions
like feeling genuinely happy or sad
there’s this unknown phenomenon where all i could think
is you
and when that happens
it feels as if the pain is as new
as how the pain felt on the day we ended
why is it so hard to follow a dream
that society doesn't approve of?
it's either choosing to live while walking through thorns
or choosing to be dead whilst surviving,
doing the things that kills you inside
i hope one day it will all makes sense. i hope one day i could start this journey, this dream of mine that society won't ever approve of. that my parents won't approve of. i hope one day i could fully believe in myself enough to sacrifice everything just for this dream.
She
That girl carried pain and wore it like a jewelry.
I went out today for a walk.
Dark clouds were looking down on me,
I know rain is coming.
All I could think on that moment was,
β€œI should’ve prepared an umbrella,
I only have my jacket on me.”
Looking at the dark clouds scared me.
It feels like it will devour me alive.
I felt the pour of drizzle on me as I expected the rain to come.
Just then, I noticed the dark clouds moving,
Moving away from where I was.
And on that moment, all I could think was,
β€œI never wear my jacket during walks,
Good thing I brought my jacket.”
As the dark clouds pass me by,
Eighteen thirty on the clock,
Blue sky was seen.
It was only a matter of time before I see the moon.
In life, it’s only a matter of changing perspectives and you’ll see how everything just passes.
for someone who experienced β€œdeath” of the people i cared for in different ways and perspectives

i’m wondering why i’m not becoming numb
