You may say this work is negative; however, there's an important message which I hope you'll get from its reading.
When you're feeling so cold and dull
And when you look in the mirror
  and it's not what you wanted to see
Just sit down and sip some coffee
And put on your favorite socks
Just remember you're you, you're loved,
  and everyone wants you to succeed
So as long as you try, then you'll be alright.
Yeah the results don't matter,
  And there isn't a score to life.
So just try
  and you'll be fine.

You're not a stranger in the universe
You aren't a unique fluke of life
You weren't born into a curse
And there is no wrong or right

When you look into yourself
You'll start to figure out
We're not meant for material wealth
Its hard to believe without doubt

One day i hope you realize and feel
That what you are deep down inside
In the essence that makes you real
Is what can not be denied

You are
the fabric
and structure
of existence
itself

Life is but a dream
Perception but an illusion
Strange as that may seem
Wake up from your delusion

When your soul journey begins
Don't scare away too easy
Don't judge thy self for sins
I know that sounds a little cheesy
But take a second to believe me.
Hello Prolly Mar 2019
Today woke up to see,
if still here and breathe.

Shared the crazy colours
with those precious in the arms.

Raced the town to say,
the yellow train goodbye.

Visited the morning trees,
seeing the specks of light in beams.

Went to the banks of river
to dream a bit of lovely ******.

Speeded up just enough to take off,
to ****** up the day.

Today.
Because I've witnessed beavers to be gifts, make fireworks and save her day )
Have you?

I found myself in wonderland,

a false fairytale to be exact,

i think i have lost my mind,

but i hope i get back.



I fell in a rabbit hole endlessly,

my head is spinning vigorously,

i think i am going crazy,

so i ran and ran carelessly.



Today i met the hatter,

laughing over some matter,

out of the blue he gave me a reminder,

that this dream was a killer.



Confused from the warning,

i woke up from dreaming,

i held my hands when it started trembling,

for the things i don't remember doing.

She woke me up
no kidding
I thought I was lost
not beating
My heart had failed me
not working
My brain had turned off
just empty

Then there she was
still smiling
I could feel something
inside me
My heart had restart
fluttering
I could keep going
with her
beside me

what happens...
when we fall asleep,
and don't want to wake up?
PLEASE...I DON'T WANT TO DIE
i just...want to end the pain

We are tiny little ants,
Living of plastic chants.
Open your eyes and look closely,
The life you're living is ghostly.
Thy neighbour, you can smell,
Whats wrong with that, I can tell.
Space and time is what we need,
To fully apreciate every deed.
Paying with paper sweat,
And living in hoarded regret.
What are we, but plastic dreams,
Wrapped in radiation screams.
