Among a thousand threads you tore,
the finest one you held no more.
You called the river wild, untrue,
and chose a desert’s shade of blue.

The mirage now slips, the light grows thin,
no oasis waits when you walk in.
You left the trees, their sheltered track,
for cactus thorns that bite you back.

Strange, isn’t it, how winds conform,
a gentle breeze becomes a storm.
Just for someone who went for a pretty face over my average face and now got cheated💀💀.

I used to have to sit down and make myself write
Now it comes as naturally as breathing

Ideas churn in my head
Spilling out when emotions get high

I have so much to write about
And I find it so relieving

To see my feelings typed out
In dark black ink on a page

I can understand them better that way

Poetry filled a hole I didn't know existed
And I am now a complete soul
I entered a dark house,
With the dazzling flame of my lamp.

I entered the lonely living room,
But the lamp got dim.

I entered the rusty kitchen,
Only a few things glimmered by my lamp’s glow.

I entered the haunted bedroom,
Where my lamp betrayed me in the dark.

At the end, I forgot the entrance,
Because the brightness of my darkness
Was way too strong.
I'm Still lost in the dark house

The comfort of sadness
falls short
only to the comfort found
in a mother's lap.


YOUR HAPPINESS SURVIVED...

Did you ever think of
What happened to those glass pieces?

The shattered glass pieces
Held some of your happiness like
A mother breastfeeding a new born baby
It slowly gathered and tried to joined
The remaining left over happiness

Years passed but glass pieces
Never parted with your happiness
And preserved it with lots of care

The broken glass pieces
Still hugs and kisses your happiness
With the hope of giving it back to you

Your happiness is secure & safely alive
With the shattered glass pieces

The remaining life of the glass pieces
Is destined to more breakages

Don't worry if
The glass pieces are crushed, stamped
Still shattered further in more tiny pieces
Disintegrated into powder

Be sure whatever they do to glass pieces
It will not let your happiness go
It's clenching your happiness tightly

Come one day to find how
The glass pieces are living
Come and see the castle of happiness
The shattered glass pieces has built
Naming your happiness "An Angel"

What if I told you that
I am the glass of LOVE that encased your
Happiness and that you shattered...!

(Read the flashback story in NOTES below)


One day when you were a kid
Your happiness encased in glass = shattered
You cried and scambled
To pick up some of your happiness
You wrapped your happiness
with a cloth and put inside the bag
You dropped the bag in a river
But grasp some pieces of happiness
You put some happiness under lock and key
But your happiness was stolen
You tracked down remaining happiness
and now carry your happiness in your pockets
Sometimes, it falls, out, you find it
And YOU cherish what happiness is left behind

YOUR HAPPINESS SURVIVED...

Did you ever think of
What happened to glass pieces?

Am I doing enough?
Or falling behind?
Do they see the real me?
or just what I hide?

Will I ever belong?
Or always pretend?
Is this just the start?
or already the end?
Sometimes I ask myself —

why people meet,

why feel an instant connection

with a stranger,

why an invisible thread pulls

so strongly?

Is it destiny,

or just random

cosmic events?
