out of arms
out of lungs
out of head
it’s an effort to be dragged
catch beneath the lock
where i tore my lid three years ago
each descent returning
spit from the cavernous body of marx

an empire of glass
the wretched of centre city
mop the open wound of 24/7 affairs
*** and grease stained upholstery
apologising for everyone else's mess

it’s blasé-faire
it’s pro-choice
corporate megaphone through the airwaves
distilled into the perfect idiot subject
enjoy life
enjoy life
enjoy life
enjoy life
enjoy life :)
the happiness industry would have you believe that all the ills of the world will be solved through positive thinking :))

WHILE I STARE

While I stare at the deep of the earth
I tear from my eyes
Is this what He made it to be?
Were we all meant to live like this?

Guns became our toys
Breaking hearts became a thing of joy
Corruption became a hobby
and we've turned immorality into our Tommy

Now that I choose not to be part
they tag me, a daft
that I am dumb
for not wanting to be part of the smart ones

While I stare at the repulsiveness
instigated and done by the of the sons of men
Not even afraid anymore, we sleep and dine with them
and are forced to be close friends

Now, I am void of tears
What is the need to weep over what is dead?
I will try my best to revive them
Not cry over what will not be solved with tears.

I will save the few I can
So they also can stare from afar
and thank Him for our lives;
the lives of positive influencers.

This if for all of us who see the decaying state of the world and wish to make a change, don't ever give up.
Be persistent in all you do, you will see results someday

As the thin wheels keep on rolling clockwise
there is a scratching noise that annoys me
"There's nothing wrong, it's not broken"
I told myself and choose to ignore
Placed my feet back on the pedal
I kept going

Sunny side up straight gawking at me
I looked back and stare
I must be seeing blind and lured into oblivion
It was an awesome sun-shiny day!
Suddenly, I stumble upon this momentum
while "Tickets to Ride by the Beatles" playing on the background
I hit the ground and rolled

Almost passed out, invisible bruises all over me
I feel pained
Pain all over me like I was going to be forgotten
lost in space, eaten by a black hole
then spit out by it

Everything in slow motion
like in a matrix action film
My consciousness is beginning to
regain little by little..
Little did I knew that little things can hurt you
Split-second imposing wonder turned into chaos
but it comes to my mind that
it's so awesome to be hurt in order for me to grow stronger
Yesss, positivity at its best
I get back up again
and chose to keep going
What a ride.
Random thoughts on how we get hurt so easily.

one
two
three years
but who's counting?

i'm here now and i'm not leaving
I haven't been active on this account for three years. All I've done is get worse and spiral into depression. I need this outlet more than ever and as I embrace my past, I should embrace the arts too.

Make me sad again
So I won't have an appetite
So I don't eat anymore
So I lose weight
And I become happy with myself.
Well I make you angry, I want to punish myself. When I told you, you threatened to leave me. What am I supposed to do with myself?

Thunder for bees soar through the cloudless sky,
With infrequent arguments audible from afar,
The summer sun would continue to blaze from on high,
Until resting time, when new light would contest with the stars.

Flowing hair gently blanketed the forest seats,
Stumps sat upon by figures both unwashed and radiant,
The beautiful women wove ornate coloured sheets,
Weaving countless garments of many colours and variants.

Countless scents wafted through the still, warm air,
Grapes adorning my fingers I laid back contented,
The great trunk to my back serving as armchair,
Sun's warmth soaking into the air, still and scented.

Alone in good company I silently rested,
Restoration and regeneration unintentionally gifted,
Those outside and afar finally bested,
From below I was finally lifted.

Gay
I can’t wait to go on my first date with happiness.

I've said it once,
 I've said it twice, 
and I'll say it another million times:  
It takes time to make a home out of your body.

Nobody,
 nobody; should ever despise their own reflection.
Your conception of 'beautiful' is corrupted but we're all here to help you reconstruct it.
