Sun sears the surface of skin, previously flushed in cool, that lasted months.
Its light shines on a book of folded pages left from a stale summer,
dusted and ageing.
Eyes will never see the words: underlined, erased, written, and sealed through the pain of every day of the staleness.

They will stay absorbed in a placid world of four corners, their own words bouncing back on the walls.
Egotistical filters shield those I loved away.
The coolness of winter fills the spaces of the air; eventually dies,
as I thaw out and remember the bitter memory of the staleness.

A book I read over and over again, pages I fold and leaf like I can show them to you.
And a summer I'm trying to face forward.

I don't know how much
Extend we will go forward.
But, this moment..
This sense..
It made feel like I am truly living.
In every moment
I am wishing it will be my forever.

Yesterday was the past
but I still think about it, that's not what I asked

Tomorrow is a new day
I'm looking forward to it, but that's okay

It's just that we live now
thats what I want to say
Just love today
Live your life

Bin
You can try to water dying flowers,
and they’ll keep upright, alive for a week.
Convince yourself the fresh scent will come back.
Has rotten ever smelled so sweet?
move on and refreshh

We yearn to be whole yet,
       some are empty
      only though others actions.

Let us fill every vessel
           so everyone is of equal self.

Never leave another behind.

I forget that the sun shines every day
In a part of the world somewhere
I’ve lived in the gray for so ******* long
The nothingness is more than I can bear
It’s rained so much I wonder if I’m drowning
I can’t seem to climb out and save myself
Every breath takes more effort than I have
All I’m good for is gathering dust on a shelf
But when the skies clear and the day glows
I can blossom and flourish like a flower
I will be bright and beautiful
I can be my own power
In favor of the sunny days of incoming summer

Time is ticking and passing by

but I, I'm standing still



Everything is going too fast around me

but I, I'm standing still



There are so many ways to move forward

but there is only one way to stand still



One step forward,

but what if this step is the wrong one?



One step back

I'm standing still again



Still as always

afraid to take the wrong step
This is the first one that I wrote.
