Broken ties
Right before my eyes
Sat at the dinner table
Fed with silence
And disguise
For how long
Does this stay
Unbearable
I whispered through the night
Wishing things would end
Because if they aren’t
I don’t know where I’m heading

I wrote a letter
To my family
Friends and unknown lover
That if i disappear
I swear on my life
I am not dead
Maybe I just couldn’t
Find my way home
As i have never been
To one
What does sacrifice even mean
Does that make people happy?
I’m sorry
If my worries
Control me
I’m sorry
If my depression
Wins over me
I’m sorry
If you think
I’m an adult
And smart
But I ain’t that
I’m just 26
And anxious
What was the saddest apology you’ve ever heard
An apology for simply existing
It has always been easy for you
To step on me
Because at the end of the day
I will always understand you

I have always wondered
What you always meant by
Everything’s gonna be fine
Because none of these is fine

I am a lost child
With an empty stomach
No matter how much I eat
I still crave for something else

I am your lost child
The beginning of your misery
The echo of your anxiety
A slave to your trauma
I watched you fade
Into the sunset
Like how i used to
When I was three
When I didn’t know
What living and dying meant
No one explained to me
Because I didn’t ask either
I still think
The sunset is pretty
And nice people
Go in there
Til inevitable things happen
And I watched my grandfather
Vanished into the pretty sky
Of January 13
I wasn’t anymore three
And now i know what it means
To stop breathing
It isn’t a pretty phrase
And the feelings aren’t pretty either
The sunset came again
And i stopped caring
