Sometimes I doubt
If I truly loved them
As much as
I could have.

But I know I did—
These tears are proof.
I died in my 20s
I had hope, energy
I had dreams that I was sure I was gonna make it happen
I had youth

Oh my youth
The belief in rocking the world
The belief in a better future
The belief that I was the main character of the story

I died in my 20s
What happened with that bright morning?
Why is it so gray and dark now?
Is it because the hope is gone?

The whole beauty and beliefs are now a pile of ashes and pain
The entire dream went to trash, buried with my young soul.
The hope was supposed to be the last one to die, it was the first.
And the youth melts every time I look at myself in the mirror.

I died in my 20s
And I traveled from hope and smile to pain and a cold tea on the desk
All that in the blink of an eye, as fast as the light
Faster than I thought it would be.

Our civilization created a bunch of Gods
Gods to explain everything
Gods that are good and bad.
But the most merciless God is named Time.

I died in my 20s
And this God doesn’t listen to your clemency
To all your prays of “please, give me one more chance”
“Please let me tell  I love them”

Your please is basically nothing for it
And then the chance passes
The wind blows, and with the wind, our life passes
And I didn’t even notice

Because I died in my 20s
Awoken on the isles of fear and sanity
Ive lost it all ;The sense of clarity
No anger ,contempt;Only a blind calamity,
Like myself are you a lost tragedy
Have i lost the colors to see
The black and grey is all i see
Despair, Distress ,don't come to me
Nor love ,Nor faith shall stay and remain
Nothing remains!Nothing remains
Ive lost the hope ,the light,the sun
Should i escape or Should i run
Far away where i wont turn
To joy ,To glee ,To hapiness at all
Running on thorns untill i fall
Is this the doom or is it hell
Is it the pit where i fell
Filled with pain Filled with grief
Sometimes long and sometimes brief
I would burn like a candle flame
Soon to burn out in ash, in embers
Am i monster or Am i a beast
Am i someone  you can not tame
Nor love,Nor faith shall stay and remain
Nothing remains!Nothing remains!
Far so long in this prison cell
In this fortress with no bell
Hearing the screams of my echoes
A damsel distressed on its toes
Singing her grief in an elegy
A sorrow A pain in this melody
The left paintings ,The untainted canvas
When you wept with sane madness
So paint this canvas with those tears
But make it sure no one hears
When left alone in that cage
In that misery when no one came
Nor love,Nor faith shall stay and remain
Nothing remains!Nothing remains!

The gold in my crown is covered in black
As it drips down over my eyes
In the distance I can hear the sound of their cries
They’re calling for me in impatient patterns
Scattered in feathers,
I’m slathered in shadows
Murky waters up to my knees
As the black is covering me.

Can you hear them?

The black it coats over my skin,
Chocolate over vanilla limbs
Tar painting the ivory of bone
As I sink into the night alone,
Out in the distance I can hear their cries
Impatient as their feathers fly,
Drowning into the sea of shadow

Can you hear them?

Out of the fog,
Into the rain,
Black as the night
Comes clinging to my frame
The ****** cries.

On the sinking night,
I can see their faces
Calling me as we flee
Into the sinking night.

Can you hear them?

Caw-aww
Depression be a mfer
I hover over this space,
A cliffside from a peak of happy
Knowing the roller coaster tracks led me
And there’s only the drop-down
Facing back with a gradual distaste,
Knowing time can’t turn back
As quickly as it’s spent,

I want to levitate.
Float here forever,
Be as still as Everest
Bury my head in snow-capped weather
Freeze this moment so it doesn’t spoil
Keep it still so I won’t chase it -
As quickly as it’s spent.

Don’t let the wind sigh,
Don’t let the cool fingertips of a breeze
Push upon my shoulders,
I’m clumsy, and easily led Into the fall.

Painted in black as the abyss calls
Running through my light
Choking aura, bludgeoning happy
I want to stay right here,
Hovering, gently spinning
Reliving the feeling left upon my lips,
Silky, soft, sweet and succulent
Taste it again, as quickly as it’s spent.
For all those who have good runs only for something to plummet you back down to the ground. Keep getting up, and keep chasing those moments!
Empathy in this world
Is what we need
Empathy is what we should breathe
I sit here at night
And i cry
I ask god why!?
Why?
People are fighting
For their rights,
yet they're being called
Evil and spies
Watching their families
Screaming goodbye
Yet the people watching the news
Screaming they're the bad few
They're the evil of the world..
Empathy needs to be cured.

It breaks my heart
And it should break yours
The state of this world
The state of the people
So much suffering
So much pain
But they only care about
All of their gain,
Billionaires
And fame

It's getting darker
more cruel
It's hard to ignore
But what can i do?
I'm one of the weak few
The disabled
The poor
A women
Crying at your door

What can i do?
What can any of us do?
Stand and scream
Have an epiphany
Fight for what's right
Burn the senate down
Take away his crown

But in reality
Will standing and screaming work?
Or will we all just go berserk?
Fighting for what's right,
While being told we're wrong
Til we're all gone..

But we belong!
We aren't doing wrong
We are the weak but also
The strong
We will stand
We will give a helping hand
It's all we can do,
To keep empathy around

Act 1- The Urge
I want to scream.
But—
Instead I write,
The things I cannot say.

Act 2- The Tension
Silence.
My words are
Tearing
At these pages,
Trying to get out.
Freed.

Act 3- The Ache
Desperation—
Between every line
And pause.
Waiting,
Wanting,
To be seen,
To be heard,
Felt.

my birthday falls on father’s day...
how poetic

for a man
who gave me life
but never showed me how to live it

and when he came back
he still wasn't really there

he doesn't like who i am
as if love should come with conditions

i learned how to raise myself
from the ruins they left behind

funny...
how father’s day reminds me more
of what i survived than what i celebrate
fathers day + my birthday falling on the same day this year has me all sorts of emotional

A musician strums a sorrowful song
chords ringing loud enough
for his little girl,
who sleeps in the earths embrace,
six feet deep.

A woman files paperwork,
answers relentless emails,
and even stacks her grief in neat piles,
but it’s only her distraction
from nine to five…

A girl avoids mirrors
because it hurts to see
how she traced pain
along forearms and thighs
‘damaged’ ‘ugly’ ‘ruined’, she thinks,

A mother screams
about clothes on the floor
and unwashed dishes
because the silence of her broken home
scares her more than feigned anger.

A writer spends endless nights
scrawling lovesick thoughts,
and morose notes
on scrappy, tear stained paper
no one will ever see.

A teenage boy, never at home
swallows pills like promises
whilst he loses himself
in the haze
of a swirling smoke room

An old man looks out the window
of his care home
and names clouds after the ones he loved
while he waits for someone
who will never come.

If you look closely-
Everyone is in pain.
And that’s the truth,
the real, visceral truth,
but we carry on.

She was waiting for him outside the house in the rain.
And she was constantly peering into the far distance.
She didn’t think what would happen to her with that.
The rain was covering all her pinching sadness.

She was waiting for him outside the house in the rain.
She wasn’t crying, no, she was getting wet.
The rain was pitiful to her and crying heart out,
Not realizing that she was extremely wet.

She was waiting for him outside the house in the rain.
And the rain wasn’t calm. It was simply pelting.
She must have made mistake - the house was wrong.
Or maybe he forgot her and stopped waiting.
It's a small story about sad love, based on true events. Again about love... Again about rain...
