They speak of absence & inaction - Yet, 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩, ¹ Such things do not exist. Like imbalance, These are merely perspectives.

Pythia, Medusa; Castor, Pollux
In an old bedroom filled with art, I tied my hair up, willingly about to go through the boxed mementos. A wave of anxiety and nostalgia crash over me, like The Great Wave of Kanagawa, while I stood idly framed by the large, cresting waves. I was born the day I learned how to love, and cursed when I learned how to feel things too deeply. Inside the boxed mementos is a timeless tale of two distorted hearts; Wilted flowers, photographs, old handwritten letters... Do we box these memories in fear of completely forgetting them? It was a ticket to a sepia-toned memory lane, Engulfing my heart and soul, with  memories that will forever be memories. IA

01 | Chaos of a Memory: boxed mementos
I will put in a box How our eyes locked when we first met When we finally kissed in the light of the dark party And when I found out- this was getting heart-to-hearty I will put in a box The way you'd gaze at me biting your lower lip Tension when you pulled me closer With both your hands on my hip I will put in a box Every time we hugged goodbye How you adapted to my liking The breath-taking look in your eye I will put in a box Our late night walk How you'd pleasure me anywhere The way our lips would perfectly lock I will put in a box The texts that made me smile Your shield of protection Even if that means I won't be happy for a while I will put in a box Every **** remainder of you I will put in a box All the tears, all the blue Every cry, ever scream The pain of not belonging Hoping that one day I'll wake up, and no longer be longing.

BUT I CANT
“Keep that mask on, it will make you look stronger.” They said, Constricting my empty veins, Shielding my vulnerability, Hiding my humanity, Making my bones stronger but my soul much weaker. All ‘real men’ must take on this mask, Exposing fraction of yourself is your task, ‘Real men’ are… Physical, Strong, Independent, Powerful, Scary, Hard, Stud, Muscular and List goes on. I am scared and I need help, Scared to rip this mask, It is such a hard task when, Wuss, Wimp, *** and ***** Are what defines the ‘True men’. Sitting in this narrow box, Suffocating from these shallow thoughts, Attempting to jump out, Thrown back by societies mouth.

Tough Men
boxes full of the reasons why I can’t begin holding the memories that should have been an empty closet of my lost thoughts forever unwritten
