My current life life is in a foggy, unclear state. I feel this longing for something or somewhere, but it’s too unclear to see where I should be heading. I don’t want to be stuck in the mud and just cave to this life that feels like the groundhog day. I want to dare to step out, take a chance and see if life is more to it. Where to start? When to Dare? What choice should I make? Many questions, no answers. Just me in my own echo chamber, quietly whispering my dreams of freedom. Freedom from the mundane, freedom from what seems like the only option. My dad always told me you should always a direction in oife, because without it you are a boat on the sea with no direction.

On the sea with no direction
My soul is dying It's dying I can hear it It's crying It's light is fading It's being swallowed By the dark I plead I yearn to find words That truly belongs to me I pressed my palm Through the surface of my skin Through my bones And into my heart Haunted by the fear Of the nothingness inside I bore my nails Unearthing my flesh Crying as I touched the mist It's a hollow space, nothing left I know there's something there It's not missing, it's lost I can feel its presence It's calling me there It's begging to be heard It screams its struggles Only for it to reach a void I think I've gone deaf To my own voice

Deaf
I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time Everybody wants something from me and I’m too fed up to reply I hate that at these hard times I’m turning my back And running away instead of facing it with pride The moment I wanted to step out outside , I realized I have no one to share laugh And I know I have no one to blame but myself But honestly, I get sicker and sicker each day

I’m bombarded with everything and nothing at the same time
I’m an ocean without any waves A song without any sound A book without any words A car without any gas I’m a shell of who I was Who I want to be Who I meant to be

Who I became
Ecclesiastes one These thoughts, these feelings I thought I was the only one I remember when there was a time when I could breathe out carbon dioxide and breathe in oxygen I remember a time when the world shone so brightly but that was way back then I remember when the world felt alive Full of possibilities, wonder, and a reason to live Ecclesiastes one It's neigh, it neigh, your time shall come Be patient and get through it for what reason; I guess it's meaningless too I've searched, and I found that the only reason to do this is for you But why me, Find someone else; I don't have the strength to pull through People always go without reason or cause; why can't I be one of them too? Ecclesiastes one Hurry up, hurry up, speed it up so that it can all be said and done Regal

Ecclesiastes One
Even if it won't help anybody but me It has to be worth it anyway. Writing down how I feel within me, How my mind is leading me astray. I once thought that I found the way That I knew where I'm going and why. I thought, I understand and can say What is wrong and what is right. Turns out I again was wrong Things are different, more complex. After all I feel broken, alone, And it has become hard to relax. I am wondering when it is time For myself to just fall and let go, To be able to let my thoughts be And to breath, deeply breath, on my own. Instead I am feeling estranged From this world and my thoughts Alienated. I am trying to grasp what it means And I don't understand, Feeling frustrated. This is where this poem leads us Needless to say into the unknown And repeatedly one may have asked, Is there really nowhere she can go?

Writing a poem, looking for relief
I'm not worried about my life I am worried about my image I am trying to strive and strive Performing on a stage Called life of strife This life of strife Hör auf, listen to me Du bist nicht so wichtig As it seems to be. What? You feel hurt again? I don't know what to do My friend. I don't know what to do, my friend.

Song: Life of strife
I just ran. I didn’t fight, I didn’t try to Get him away from you I didn’t pull him By his shoulders and Rip him from your Near corpse, no. I ran. I just, ran into The room with fear In my hands Making it difficult To lock the door And I never once considered How the hell you would get in. I never told him to stop I never told him to go away I never told mom And I never had the confidence to say What I needed to To get him away from you And help you breathe Again. I sat there on the floor With my sister in my lap With headphones in her ears No chance of Hearing the searing Screams Let out by your small Body I just let it happen And with every breath I took I knew he was taking one Away from you Knocking the ability to properly See, away from you And I Who was just scared Sat there with no thought Of trying to make it stop God I’m sorry If I had just pushed him away If I had just gotten him off If I had just let him see how it Affected me and Let it sink in that this Is not how you treat children Maybe I could’ve helped Prevent it. But I just ran I didn’t fight I didn’t try to And it’s my biggest regret That I didn’t help you.

My Biggest Regret
i used to love the scent of rain not until it gives me pain but who knows maybe this is where my poetry grows lately, i tend to walk alone gives me the feeling like i'm never known thoughts been treating me like a slave and it's so hard to find a place that makes me feel safe sometimes i can't feel my feet most of the time, my heart beat it's getting really hard to breath maybe i'm getting closer to the death as i'm walking away kinda hoping that they'll beg me to stay hey, what is this part? is it where everybody's treating me like a dart? throw me about a mile and only be remembered as a small while?

On The Way //Oblivion//
Not knowing where I belong;  Here, at home or beyond? Spreading thin, cut in quarters, What became of the unity we fought for? Afraid of the landscapes built upon We paint over lived canvases, Struggling to focus for too long, Looking for the creative thread among the masses. Saying we will settle in years to come, Waiting for a moment telling us its time, "Don't you know that settling isn't for some", They shout as they search for a place to call "mine". Firstly perched close to the shore, Seagulls as a waking call, Horizons as signs of furthermores, Avoiding any reminder of the restricting city wall. Secondly a little closer, To those who we hold in our hearts, Greeting mornings with a train tracks murmur, What an adventurous start. Then wishes slowly lost their power, Landscape stretch to resemble concrete cubicals, Lighting up in the midnight hours Yet another sign of the lost will. Third is when we return to where it all started, A full circle without filling the core, Was this what all the searching led too? Is home where I began reaching for? It doesn't need an ending,  just a beginning and middle, Endings are the one sure thing, In life's great sodden riddle.

Where do we belong?
time won't stop ticking day won't stop switching people won't stop changing day by day, nothing remain the same i have to make a move to stay in the game taking steps forward to reach the future but when i stop taking another step and look around i'm alone i tried so hard to find my way back but it was too late that i've lost i am lost and i realize why i feel lost it's not because i don't have a map but it's because i don't have a destination

Lost
It’s hard to say Whether you’ll be okay, Or if you’ll be crushed While your heart collects dust. You can’t really know When the pain will go. Perhaps it will stay Each and every day, And try as you might You’ll never feel right. You’ll reach for thin air, Enhancing the tear That’s deep in your chest Though you hide it with all your best. The indefinite is what’s worst, As it’s what truly hurts. And so it’s very hard to say Whether you’ll be okay.
