Danger!
Danger from above
We scatter like mice
Running for the shadows
Lest your paws come down on us from above
And imprison us
We hide our faces and our claws,
Crossing our fingers over our lives,
Waiting till you finally rest
So we can breathe

Aren’t you glad frozen smiling faces
Are beaming up at you?
Offering rotting daisies with trembling hands
Noses twitching with fear

The lies we tell to survive the war

crowns

managing mental health
wrapping head around
changing outlook views
wearing scars like a crowns
won’t help you to survive
without food on the table
without a chance to be well
it won’t matter
self taught lies
when problems are in real life
and you're not allowed yourself

Distill

study the parabola
wonder when i’ll peak
can i survive the heat?
distill deceit
study the hypothesis
wonder when i’ll resist
can i remain authentically rich?
distill disrespect
mismanaging bliss

Poor wounded Soul

Poor wounded Soul,
trying to survive
Life's Trauma,
from one powerful blow.
All that your soul needs,
is to feel at ease,
careless and free,
just feel the nice breeze,
sit back and relax and
Have no worries.
Let go of it All,
The Pain, suffering,
worrying, and sorrow,
Leave yesterday behind,
push forward to tomorrow.
This agony that you endure
won't Last long,
So try to be strong,
it is only a test,
REMEMBER:
WHO'S ON YOUR SIDE, and
In this JUST REST!!!!!

So perfect on the outside
Unblemished
Façades
That's how we survive

‘Life’

This is the time in life,
Where life is not worth living,
Each day gets harder to survive.
‘Life’ drags on day by day,
While you hope,
For something to go right,
But it never does.

Ephemeral Night

As the ephemeral night passes on,
flourishing beneath the moon's luminescence,
the will to survive in this constant place
referred to as 'home',
goes along with it.

And once again, it's morning.

birthday

it's my birthday today
another year of drowning
myself in sorrow
and frowning
every morning
kinda feeling proud
that I survived another year
and still haven't landed
in the clouds
above.

Prison of pain.

I force myself under the water,
Feeling the cold invade my mind,
My skin tightening against the attack,
Shuddering,
But yet,
When I come out the other side,
I feel the hot sun on my skin,
Making all that cold suddenly feel worth it.

Make your pain worth it, because it will never stop.
