Life can seem like a nightmare
I'm afraid of all of the time
I release my flair in the night air
Noticing all the fear is of the same kind
I more than recognize the familiar glare
The eyes looking back at me are mine
Aware that I'm unaware
Fair or not,
Witness my paradigm

Do not
pity the
flower
that has
died, it
will bloom
once more,  
as an
ephemeral
moment
in life you
held dearly,
unaware of
how it
always
returned.
Nynke Jul 2021
Closed your eyes
Now you never know
It does not hurt
Neither make you grow

I say I don't care
Laugh at problems like it's fine
Masking hurt I feel
You don't say you don't care if you really don't care

I watch you lay there
The light of my screen creates a glare
You seem unreal
So peaceful
Unaware
Of the mess that is loving me
