Today
Is our birthday,
The first time you appeared in my life,
So many years ago,
Fingers of my hands can't count.
Do you remember?
Probably not,
We both know
You're not good at dates
As I'm good at
Writing love letters
That are never sent
- and you know why -
It was June the fifth,
The century was about to die,
Just imagine if...
You and I.

I woke up in a movie
Just when the credits rolled
It might have been a romance
But I have no way of knowing

I couldn't help but think of you and me
And how we are like a movie
How we sometimes sleep through it
This romantic comedy

Maybe when it's over
We'll give each other credit
For all the things that we did right
And all the things we didn't

How we made it through to the bitter end
Of the laughter and tears that we played in
Major stars in our own right
In the way that we both lived

I woke up in a movie
Just when the credits rolled
It might have been a romance
But I have no way of knowing

Why

The Judge
Why
Why do you stay,
when all I bring you is pain.
What is left for you here?
What do you have to gain?

I have taken everything from you,
all your hopes and dreams.
I have taken most from you,
including that smile that gleams.

I don't understand why you stay.
You refuse to leave my side.
I will ruin you eventually.
And deep down I've already died.

So why do you insist?
Why do you wish to stay.
You know what will happen.
The end is all you delay.

I see now.
I know why you won't leave.
It's because deep down inside you.
You still believe.

You think I'm able to be saved.
You think you know me like a glove.
I want what you want too.
I want to know I'm loved.

But nothing I know can be stopped.
I am on the edge of insanity.
I will end my pain.
I will save your vanity.

Everyday is a new day and that is a fact
But each day is harder to keep myself intact
Reliving each moment within shattered memories
It eats away my insides until there is nothing left of me

I know I have to be patient for all of this to pass
I know that this feeling will not always last
As the time passes the minutes feel like hours
And in all the sunshine my heart is in rain showers

But it is the precious rain that washes everything clean
The rain washes away and makes everything brand new
But in the midst of this it feels like there is no escape
I am trapped in my mind and it is my own life I can take

I hope that you all will keep me in your prayers
As I struggle with what has been and what will be
My mind and my heart keep playing musical chairs
Until the day arrives that I can finally be set free

Some dreams are significant
Some dreams are just fantasies
Some dreams are useless
Some dreams are idiotic

Dreams can make you unique
Dreams can be your drive
Dreams can help you develop a vision
Dreams can make you a dynamic person

We all dream so you are not unique
You can sing and you dream to be star,
You are smart and you dream to work at Microsoft,
You have access to money and want to open another Google,
guess what???
You are not unique.

You must resist and transform structures
You must claim responsibility
You must produce knowledge
You must move through space and cause disruptions
You must affect people by induction

If you become normal then you don't exist
To exist there must be exceptionalism
The normal have no history
The normal have no memory
You are nothing...
This is a poem about uniqueness, dreams and existence.

abandonment

we are old buildings
covered in the scent
of abandonment
but once we were loved
and someone cared enough
not to let the dust settle
