#identities
You are not your identities, Or what people tell you to be. What you think you should be Or how some may perceieve You are everything in between You are all your possibilities The energy that keeps going. Heart spilled out in ink Eyes that gleam. Eyes that bleed. Words that make others see & The words you never speak. The love you bring You are not just your story. You exist between the seen and the unseen.. You are not defined. You cant be. You are otherworldly. And One day, When i let someone inside, I won’t be so torn if they leave. For i know, I will always have me, myself and I. And they will know me better than any other guy. Learn the lessons, And get to steppin. Life isnt found in over thinking, wishing and daydreaming. Its found in living. Kc

You are not defined
those shadows under your weary eyes that change with every passing night; line them like dreary curtains, hiding your many plights. your head still plays that one tune; and your shadows are like the dark side of the moon. never the same, as if it were night in a field of rye -- accompanied by the pearly lights of the midnight sky. the inky blackness of your conscious hemorrhage, drenched in freezing waters, against the depths of your memory begin to effleurage. which at once creates a hazy fog in your great ocean, too still and opaque to make a single motion; and those dark, glimmering eyes open with the golden sunrise; warm and blooming, syrupy and glaze swirling with auburn and chocolate haze. i can never forget, and i will never regret. you speak, you ramble; you and your cares; and you breathe, breathing a mist into the cold air. you wake, from your slumber in that freezing past, stuck behind that window pane of shattered glass. i love both of you; you and your other half -- the reason i break out in a severe laugh. the dark side of your moon -- the sliver of light that breaking through. your heavy-lidded awkwardness, a shy smile, as you grip your coffee - this winter chill in your bones, your meek and quiet authority. the rose blooms in your face, when you quicken your pace. the other is teeming with vigor. he is filled with a profound rigor; eventually he will intrude, forced to pay for his life through servitude. he wakes in the dead of night to do what he believes is right; he wraps himself in white armor, becoming the knight. with crimson on his hands and plum bruises on his knuckles, he retreats, and so the hectic process repeats. his trauma heals and dawn arrives, and the other wakes up, believing the muddled disguise. you lose track of your sleep, the days, the time; your pain, the month, your mind. your insomnia grows at your windowpane, like a flowering *** of healthy nightshade. and your crinkled, dusty flat, along with your wrinkled kitchen mat; is perfect for a lazy evening chat. and though you may undergo many changes, i will still love you and your many phases.

They call me A... Mummy Partner & Love They call me Friend Lover Playmate They call me Sister Daughter & Auntie Iva They call me Mother Dearest When they're feeling Cultured & Refined Or Mummylumps When feeling Content Shiny Or snugly They call me Hey you Miss & Ma'am When I'm just another body In line In traffic In their way They call me Vivi Vi Or by my full name When they know my mom and dad They call me Student Client Patient Or User When they want my money They call me With tears, sometimes Or with ire With confusion Joy Or small triumphs When I have the privilege Of being their person They call me names These are their names They are not mine

They Call Me Names
Lewis Carroll, The numbers were driving him insane. George Orwell, His family didn't know yet. Mark Twain, A childhood on the rivers. A pseudonym is a weapon like no other.

Pseudonym
"Do you ever wonder where these voices came from?" I closed my eyes and for a moment, I thought I was talking to someone else… “Yes, I am them. They were the identities formed within my insecurities. A life I wished that I was once in; the shoes of someone I wanted to be… And to that, I have made you exist, but not living…"

Whispers.
There is an object lying on my desk Something so simple yet so picturesque Whose value tends to be forgotten With a purpose wasted over and over again With the help of tools, it's radiance flows With a bit of aid, it will surely glow Often, the results are better than we know But if left untouched, it would be hollow An empty space, a blank canvas Utilized properly, it would surely surpass All the expectations and the doubts Grab it now  and let your identity sprout May it be an artwork or literary A musical score or a piece of origami A sheet of paper, no matter how small Can make a difference for us all Something so thin and so plain Offers numerous experiences we can attain Take advantage of the entire blank space Let us put our imaginations in replace

Paper Life
They were children tasting sugar For the first time Without all the artificial layers The raw sweetness Making them gasp and shiver Anticipating for more Turning them into wild animals Ravaging its meal Showing their true identities Buried in these colors
