Colorless world without sense;
countless of lives lost in the way.
That's how it feels to be in Earth;
that's the truth we have to understand.

But sometimes, a faint light appears out of nowhere
giving meaning to our lives and to making it feel fair.
So we follow it without a thought
to end up wounded and lifeless in a dark spot.  

The ruthless fight starts with our mind and heart
and it continues until we feel broken inside.
That's when it turns into Hell;
where we don't have another option but to suffer.

I thought to myself that changing was for the best.
That I broke my whole being into pieces to be a better version of
my corrupted self;
Believing I did the right thing
to find out later a monster dwells
within me.
And without a glimpse of salvation
I scream to the devil in here
so I can beg him to take me out of this miserable world.

the moment a poet
falls in love with you

is the moment
you live

God. How am I still not okay?

God. It's been so long.

God. I'm so tired of life right now.

God. What happened to me?

I was such a nice kid.
I was calm all the time.
Mature for my age,
Little but so lively.

I was so helpful.
So loyal.
I always supported my trust.
But I never really spoke my mind.

I was shy.
I was small.
I never stood up for my feelings
I never stood up for myself.

And now I'm older.
I realize I don't need support.
I need myself.
I need confidence.

Speaking your mind is not wrong.
Standing up for your feelings isn't rude.
Standing up for yourself isn't mean.
Saying what you feel doesn't make you imperfect.

No one's perfect. Not even them.
The ones you hate for being so amazing.
Maybe she has anxiety.
Maybe his mom is alcoholic.

No one has a perfect life.
There's not one perfect family in the world.
There is not a person in the world who's perfect.
There's not a person who doesn't have one bit of strife.

But just because you aren't perfect.
Doesn't make you less worth it.
You're amazing.
You're still charming, kind, and strong.

You're just more experienced.
You just understand some more things now.

And maybe, just maybe,
You just aren't as shy anymore.
I'm not perfect. But I'm not shy anymore either.

She Writes
Tell me this!
How can you cage a bird
When you fell in love
Whilst watching it fly?
