Tears are salty. I found myself flying in an ocean. The currents splashed over my emotions. All my hopes where in the skies whilst I was barely floating. I was soaking in..soaking with my tears. I tried convincing myself with a little bit of "I'll make it out surely."


Contradictory it was,seeing an eagle in sight. Perhaps this could only be a mirage for all I know. Saddened when reality strikes,all hope is lost. I folded my wings and reminisced those scenes where I was carelessly drifting in those clouds.

I should learn to adjust. I learnt to appreciate who I was. A good omen.

Everything is temporary,I smiled. I opened my eyes and look around and there I was sitting on a cloud. My tears are dry.

Because we live in a masked society,
it’s ever so acceptable to leave no footprints anywhere we go
or honest words to anyone we meet.

Every masquerade party is a reassurance that indeed,
we are the best versions there could ever be.

But boy have I gone weary…

What’s the point of all these beauty
if I can’t live it to tell my story?

I’d rather leave with endless worry than stay,
watch myself survive yet another day.

I know you are weak my friend,
I am too.

I know you’re broken,
I’ve been there too.

But for now let’s just live.

Have a day.

Shower yourself with care and kindness,
one you’ve been saving for others.

The morrow wouldn’t be so bad, trust me.

You can scream, you can cry or you can write
either way you’d wake up to a better light.

Now smile and keep your head high,
for I’m here with you
we’ll go through even the highest tide.

Together may be we’d understand
the beauty of life
and may be one day
we’d even dance.

When will I begin?  
I always make excuses.
Today is not the day
Tomorrow, perhaps I'll do it.
Tomorrow came a went
and tomorrow yet again.
Excuses find there way
But it's time for them to end.

Her eyes speak kind words,
words of love and passion.
Her lips, peach pink, stay shut,
I only listen to her eyes.

The windows are open,
a beautiful scenery can be seen.
A soul behind the windows.
A soul seemingly made of dreams.

Her body is not slim.
Her face without make-up.
She may not be amazing to you,
but to me,
she is perfection.

Won't you dare
Step in the storm?
Won't you dare
Cup the hand of fate in yours?

Lead on the way
Amidst corridors of blazing sands
Won't you let the friction carve?
Your hands, your sight and heart?

Brushing against your face,
Peeling off your gentle fate
My friend; won't you dare?
And step in the roaring lair?

For ashes and dust
Is this greyish world
So burn the flame
And light in fumes

Hear the tapping of your feet
And feel your sole melt away
On strange wooden lands
Sprinkled with blazing sand

Catch the pebbles
Struck at you
Let it burden till you grieve,
Or build the castle of your dream

Set ablaze, set ablaze
Set yourself ablaze;
Let yourself combust and scarred
And become the blazing star

he asked why I tried
  
      'nobody is here to witness you try'

with those words I felt my motives my hopes all dye

       he grabbed my hand said it was alright

I'm the man who will watch you and cheer

    I'm the man who will tell everybody how truthful you are when your tears
      drop to the ground and you overcome your fears

I am the man who will pretend to care just so I can see you

   be the woman you do not fear to share

but everything you said was all an illusion

    cause once I woke up you were just a false vision
