Now
I know you have questions.
I know you have wounds and scars.
I know you were hurt before, who wasn't?
I know you think you can do everything now.
I know you think time is in your hands.
I know you think life is longlasting, a slow ticking bomb.
Think. I said think. Thats what you think. That's what I thought.
Now I know that questions would have answers, and some, were just meant to be unanswered.
Now I know the pain I felt, is nothing but a blessing.
Now I know time is fleeting, that life is so short.
Now I know, now I realise that there is a time. For everything. In due season.
Everything that happens, happens for a reason.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;  A time to ****, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Once upon a time,
There was the sound of a cry,
The Cry that made them smile with tears in their eye.

Once upon a time,
There was a movement like a smile,
The smile which bought their world twirling in a while.

Once upon a time,
There were long nights as days,
The days which were turned into their nights in ways.

And the story went on
Their adventure of life was born
Born around this joy that they lovingly adorn

Years went on and they kept on,
selfless, wise and never torn,
Their breath was each for to teach courage,
that would need to move on.

Then came a time , the sand glass turned,
the cry was heard again,
Again with those tears came that smile,
And Realisation struck as plain.
For all parents!..

There is a wave of sadness in her
But you wouldn’t see it
There is a dam of tears waiting to burst
But you wouldn’t see it
There is a dream suffocating within her
But you wouldn’t hear it
There is a confused soul crying for help
But you wouldn’t hear it

For more than riding the wave about to engulf
Or wipe the tears out to drown her life
Or revive the dreams off to die
She would rather keep up the façade of being strong
Die every moment than let the world see her weak.

i'm on this journey,
clinging with scar faced palms
the thorns scrub my feet
heart bewildered as the salt licks my tongue dry
like a candle light i'av been burning without ashes
was holding on to this tree I thought will keep me
with its fruits as my mind is scurvied in hope
but it was a dream

i'm on this journey, sparring with him
through the water wall reflection   
this atmosphere is tailored to my skin  
so as I walk alone
through this shadow breathing valley
its okay, don't save me, its almost time
all i need, is one more melody.

why don’t people see that every word has hidden thorns akin to those of a rose
if someone does know, why is there often no reaction
nothing real or meaningful, perhaps a half assed “how’re you?” without intent

people say my humor is cancerous
but the real disease is everyone's ignorance
to issues other then “who’s ******* who?”
nothing matters to you except yourself

and whilst i’m all for loving yourself
i won’t sit by while someone would rather
be in love with a substance
their only connection to themselves being a common love
for something that takes love away


but by all means, continue to send your backhanded snaps


because by that logic
when life crumbles around you like the ruins of a once great empire
it’s darwinism
“survival” of the fittest


if you care more for online “likes” hoping someone will like you
what makes you more human than someone without your online fame?


i know it may be too late
but if you ignore the small things in life
the greater your fall will be


and some people make that choice
calling others “snake”
only separates the wolves from the hens
people aren't nice

but neither am i
however, i won’t let that stop me from helping someone who needs it

i do stop to check on people
it’s not a matter of what we “should” do
but a matter of we must do
in essence, caring about other’s essences


if nothing matters to you
why post “like my recent”?
if that's what’s important to you then i don’t know what to say


to me you’re almost nothing
almost, because redemption is always a crutch
whether it be through peaceful, meditative prayer
or showing that you actually care

you are a fire, you are dynamite
but if you’re also the victim, don’t stay and wait
if you do, your knight will be way too late

this is the way the world ends
not by bombs, though they may play a large role
but because of ignorance to people's problems
that have answers so simple as, just to Listen

When you realise you're holding onto a dead bird
Ha, But you still hold on.
Oskar Erikson Feb 2018
when all the memories
were in fact
nothing but dreams.
