today, sir, is the day to say thank you
and my way to do so, ermh --
is to write you a poem
i don't know about your past but your

knowledge of mine is vast
you knew me better than my parents
and you spotted the real me during our therapy never said my "father" that he

was proud of me -- but you did, you revealed in me the true kid because you have the gift to lead people to the place where their truth is; most people join the rat race, but you always kept the same pace and you

made it to erase my shame, healing people is what you're here for, reliable and faithful, and regardless of any writer's fame: YOU HAVE A NAME... an inner flame of kindness glows in your soul, you released me from my

blindness, and you helped me dealing with my tormenter: cole, i never felt that you played a role, i sensed you are whole, may god bless your four daughters, and i wished YOU had been my father, but thats fine: cause you

became a father figure, and soon i figured that your goodness makes you richer than a person owning millions, i do thank you a billion times for being
a mirror who is speaking, at our first session i

shivered, but hid it, you opened me, and noted nothing down, you just listened and saved me from drowning
each letter is for you, each word proves my gratitude how can you have this attitude? how do you do this?

im not idealizing, yet, you're my idol, cause you taught me bout my anger, that as a child, i never had a man as a rival, i had lost my destination and you were my arrival

Fakhri Khalik, you were my arrival.
You stopped my denial.
You are a huge part of my survival.

You are my arrival, I am your disciple.

Forever Yours.

I solve problems
To get my blood flowing
I play like a happy child
When I'm on an obstacle course

Getting ever more complex
And solving it even more gratifying
I make a mud castle
And kick it down, when I'm bored
you were just having fun,
within a day your feelings were undone,
happiness is a warm gun.
How does it feel 'killing' your feelings every night?
Is it almost the same as avoiding get in too deep all the time?
Do the residual feelings influence you anymore?

The eclipsed ether,
Fairly honest yet complex,
Lit by countless stars.
A soul is but one emotion,
Do acknowledge the complexity of a person,
For that is what makes all of us,
Human.

My most complex
Terrifying
Heartbreaking thoughts
Are always followed
by a question,
You know?

The ones who have to stay,
will always stay.
And the ones who don't deserve you,
will drift away.
Sometimes it's not your fault...but you are told that it was all yours.It's the time you need to reflect back. But if you know that you gave your best and there was nothing wrong you did...just stand high and ask that person not to question your loyalty.

how can we comprehend
the human brain
it is not simple
not weak
but designed with complexity
and the greatest gift
yet the worst curse
is love
love
how shallow and weak
yet deep and powerful
many a sailor
fallen to the enchantment
of the sirens song
it pulls you in
only to spit you out
wiser and broken
i pity the heartbroken
yet envy the lovebird
the mind so complex
contradicts each text
should we love
or drown without feeling
