it has its own
journey - as do I
unknown 3d
You always wanted to be treated like a queen, like a princess.
Be in a kingdom of love, faith, hope, care, respect, and honesty.
Acting as if your life was filled with fairytales, filled with possibilities.
Drowning with the thoughts of battling with once upon a time and happy ending.

You once painted him as your knight in shinning armor.
Described him as your light in a place that's filled with darkness.
You wrote everything perfectly, but on what reason? What purpose?
Were you just overwhelmed by fulfilling the thought of being with him?

Two different paths to take, one choice to make.
One choice to make.
One path to take.
And without hesitation you choose him, over and over again.

Little by little you started to wonder,
What was really the purpose of doing this? Of being with the knight that shined light?
Was the light made everything clear? Or did it just blinded you?
Still you've got no answer, you're lost in your imaginations.

Your knight in shinning armor? Did he really saved you?
Your light in the darkness? Did you really see everything?
The path you took? Was it really the right path?
You should be saying yes, but why are you gloating?

Didn't you want this? Didn't you prayed for this?
Didn't you waited for this? Didn't you work hard for this?
The story you created for how many years just to make your life magical,
Yet you're stuck in your own fairytale that has no spark anymore.
Eli 3d
If life is full of coincidences
To show us the way
To make sure the path we travel is right
Full of color
Full of light
Instead this dark gray
Over the last 3 years
With the amount of unfortunate coincidences
I’ve encounter
The voices now echo
How are you still alive?
Why are you still here?
Do you even matter?
This is your last chance
But I don’t want to disappear
I want to stay here
Please turn the lights back on
I need to see this through
I need to persevere
Eli 7d
There once was a little girl
She saw things
Heard thing
Things that weren’t real
She talked to herself
She made up imaginary friends
They comforted her
Since the voices weren’t always kind
They protected her and her light
But I’m not sure if the light is mine anymore
It might have been taken in spite
Eli 5d
In my life
I’ve had a lot of dark
I’ve had a lot of light
The darkness was always there  
It would send shadows in the night
To keep me from my light
It would hide pieces in places unknown
Making me forget why I was here
Making me feel alone
I need to find my light again
I don’t want to disappear
Maybe if I find my sight first
I’ll remember why I’m here
I need to remember why I fight
I need to make sure my reality is clear
Nigdaw May 28
light will find us
illuminating the dust and neglect
that has gathered on our lives
shining between blinds
and curtains
we have designed to keep it out
because we are asleep
to its possibilities
and the darkness hides
our nakedness
and doubt
time to squint into the brightness
shake off the covers
and walk out
Sara Brummer May 20
FIREWORKS


A summer night and fireworks
break dark’s quiet whisper,
drowning fragile moonlight.

First a flickering, then
a blossoming of color--
wild and illicit –and
the air’s askew with booms,
delirious with fiery chaos
as a million man-made stars
tumble across sky.

A veil of smoke creates
a glorious illusion --
the art of pyrotechnics.

A stolen moment’s exaltation
without the wariness of danger.
As fire jewels dwindle to obscurity,
there is a strong spell of reversal.
What seemed like revelation fades.

Universe returns to mystery
and mind to world’s reality.
My Dear Poet May 17
father  said
you should
only dream
with open eyes
to see clearly
the rays of lies
dreams are only
made for sleep
not for day
nor light to seek
keep your dreams
beside your bed
and a candle lit
inside your head
keep it there
and keep it where
vision withers
for  no light
redeems or
day delivers
your dreams
once your dead
❅⛈☼☄

If you stop expecting miracles from people,
you can never get hurt by them;
instead, if you initiate the expectation
of blessings only from God,
your heart will bloom again.

Pain keeps you awake
So you don't fall asleep.
