”Where is home ? Is it where I'm growing, living, sleeping ? Where im travelling ? Where im working ? Or maybe hoping to live in ? I couldn’t get the answer until I found that home, It is not necessarily a house, But it is something, someone, you feel safe with, good with, happy with. It is okay to change of home, For me sometimes my home is my book, then my home is my music, Then my home are my friends and often, My home is simply silence."

”I was questioned, Why do I write poetry ? Is it to express my feelings, Express the deepest pit of myself that i can’t tell out loud, or to find myself in a maze that we call life. It may even be to entertain myself and for fun, or maybe out of boredom. After reviewing my thoughts and studied my opinion, I came to the conclusion that.. I myself still don’t know. Maybe i don’t want to know, Maybe one day I will, Maybe I never will, Maybe you know and i don’t. But who cares, As long as my brain still questions the world and it’s people, As long as my hands still write words in an order to make them delightful, And as long as my heart still beats, I will write over and over, And nobody can ever stop me, not even me”

Why do i write poetry
Winter has pried its way into the depths Sinking chilled claws into subcutaneous layers, Penetrating spaces harboring vital warmth Diminishing lively promises Objects surrounding me are chilled Inflexible, they seem Bothered by any attempt of motion Complaining with creeks and cracks All in agreement Descend further, Permanently frozen fixtures Something needs to be done Slide open a frosty drawer, Revealing an empowered wand Electric arc lighter Magically USB C charged Two discs, behind a cast iron cage Lie in wait, ready to emanate sun like fury Arc sparks gas rolling through a slithering line Blue flames erupt, heat tumbles upwards Above, hands rub and roll first Then a kiss to the face Put a fan on high to circulate Opposing forces engaged Zero degree weather, living inside a van Elements reign, they remind Whose who & what's what Trying to survive

Winter Depths
Are you blind? Can you not see? I do this **** without a thought I do this **** so effort Less - ly Like an old man sittin in his rockin chair Sippin on some green - tea Like I'm speedin down The highway just free to be - me Can you not see? Writings like an ***** and it functions like a heart - beat Boom boom - strap your ***** in and find a comfy *** - seat Boom boom - my writings all be formin when I'm walkin down the **** street Boom boom - Ima be lol'in as my fans line up - boom boom - for a meet n greet. Do you finally - see? Its like a mean grean hulkish transformation Ima straight beast. I be smashing competition like Michael Jordan - its a straight feast. Hulk smash! Its a fine treat. I be swishing all my buckets as they All be kissin my - feet It all comes without a thought and Comes very natural- ly like a virus - coursing through my veins like a musical dis - sease Ima sneeze... Achoo! And pass it onto others - as much as I - please. ***** freeze! Ima infect the world with my Musical. - ****** Now that I've laid my piece While sippin on some green tea While ridin so free I hope you finally - see - Ima straight beast. Peace! 😂

My Hand At Rappin
Small, weightless forms Yet striking with such force Be it blood, rain or something else Little drops carry so much So much meaning, the small drops Be it us, be it the world The droplets of this earth They are what makes it work They're the substance of it all Little bricks that build our reality For us to be whoever we want Or anything, in actuality It's all those small details That bring us closer For at the core of our souls We are just many, many droplets.

Droplets
My life train is passing through, Many stations. I don't know what exactly but they have some kind, Of temptation. May be one of them is, My destination. Regarding my feelings I really have, No explanations.

My life train
I've seen you smile with pain in your heart Watched you fall, Crash to the bottom And crawl your way back to the top You're stronger than you think Every day is a new beginning, A new page, a clean slate A chance begin anew, start afresh, To get it right I want you to taste life like it's new Let the sun remind you That life is beautiful every day Let the rainbow bring colours of laughter to you Embrace the gift of life Cherish the blessings that guides you And may you only know Hope that makes you dream Failure that brings you success, Success that brings you joy Friends that makes you laugh Passion that makes you live And love that makes you love more.

Dear Self
you. you became from the 1,999,999. so despite what it may seem— you are a rarity, a true force of nature. out of 1,999,999 you were the one which remained: the one who overcame. your emergence itself was a miracle— so how could your existence now be any less?

you.
I remember the moment I knew they were watching— the moment they became of thin air. but who were they? our mothers? our sisters? our friends? could they be everything wrapped up in one? so from that moment forward I lived in a fear of them staring & spying— judging every last move. will they always be watching? god, please say they won’t.

watching
my body is sanctuary— my body is built of stone. my body is always with me— why im never alone. and while it may be a part of me, this place is not my home. this structure of bone and mysterious matter is truly nothing but a place to house my mindless chatter. the rest is but dust, taking up space to prove I exist— to show i am more than my madness. I am a heartbeat, a brain wave, a breath. I am a sister, a daughter, a friend. but I live in a body that is not my own— this is not my home and therefore I may roam.

the newbie failure complex(ity) the poems come torrentially, hurricane, waterfall & tornado are working adjectives worthy of the task, yet unequal to the unlimited army of the written dead of unread poems and poets that occupy the nether of blog, podcast, and poetry sites, orphan stars in the un-salvaged junkyard galaxy of verbiage a faceless wight, once alive, now permanently dead, we shuffle march, chanting each our own newbie poem, onward soldiers to ignominy and glory so fleeting, we are forgot before we are remembered *this is life in poetry, or better yet, the worst of it, (sigh) this is the poetry of lives* all for nought, nought for all, at least we pass our prison time in the company of fellow strugglers*

the newbie failure complex(ity)/the poetry of lives
Feelings spilled on the moonlit paper Heart on her sleeve holding it tighter Pitter patter of heartbeats Her favorite sound in her playlist Wide awake under the blue ceiling Another night with overflowing feelings It's time to create artwork in silence Where everything seems to make sense Bleeding pen on her hand and memories in head She’ll write before her feelings gradually fade She's a fighter just to win her life A believer of "Maybe soon everything will be fine"

Pitter Patter
It’s already 3 in the morning My eyes are still wide open I’m not even yawning I’m not even doing anything Staring on the ceiling Right there I saw my world crashing Right there I saw myself drowning Right there all I want is sleeping Sleeping and never waking. Sadness lingering around my body paired with the emptiness that wasn’t evident if you saw me, It’s here, right inside this ugly mediocre body. I beat myself every night, Thinking is tomorrow really worth to survive? My day goes by “yes I’m fine” when it’s actually “help me, I’m dying inside” All I could ever think is to die Dying fascinates and scares me at the time Questions began to arise, “It wouldn’t hurt that much if I leave everything in this world behind, right?” It’s so unusual that one day you feel nothing, And then the next couple day suprise, you feel everything And when I think everything’s okay There someone somewhere saying “something’s wrong today” You think this is the day you can justify you’re definitely happy Only to realize that later at night in the four corners of your room you’re incredibly lonely and empty. And to be honest I don’t know why I feel this way, One thing I know for sure there was missing inside me, I couldn’t possibly pin point what could it be, So I’m trying to fill it with thousands of possibility, I ask myself “Am I going to be like this day by day?” I never understood myself then, Was there something wrong with me? Was I over reacting? Or this is really the real me slowly unraveling? I couldn’t tell anyone what I feel putting my feelings into words is so much to deal But then I tried, I tried telling them I’m dead tired. And only to get “It’s all in your mind.” They would say be positive Or look on the bright side I hope it’s that easy, But it’s not, right now my mind is way way messy. And how I wish I could control what I think, And when a toxic negative thought felt like coming, I could let it go away in just a blink. But it’s not. It doesn’t go that way. I’m crying each night, crippling my own heart. To the situations I am trying to brush away so hard. I’m maybe the one to blame. For the thoughts that hardly keep me sane. And then one day I get used to feeling not okay. I get used to the hole living inside To the devil that’s speaking in my mind. And lastly, I get used to telling people I’m wonderfully fine. But I couldn’t help but to hope Hope that one day All of these ******** would go away, hope to go back to the old me, Positive, spontaneous, happy and carefree.

You cannot create a monster and then condemn it hate its ugly features it’s terrible gait You cannot be afraid to look into it’s cold eyes touch it’s rough skin or feel it’s hot breath You must face the consequences Because when I look into the mirror I do not see myself but all of what you’ve made me I see pale skin and bruised lips and bloodied knuckles and a demonish grin I see a monster ready to do monstrous things.”

Sadistic Lover
all my life i've been preparing faces to meet the faces that i've met friends family the man who delivers newspapers at our doorstep each morning i've laughed at their silly jokes as they tossed their heads from side to side in naive stupidity and their sheer ignorance a pompous lot, the human race i tell you i've acknowledged their staunch morals and tried to make them my own as they scorned at the girl in a skimpy dress and chewed on mutton bones gluttonously all my life, i've been trying hard to blend in with people who've shown me that i don't belong with them and tonight when i shed gallons of tears i have only my bed and pillow to share i've learnt that my sadness is my very own

as he stood brave, staring, into the eyes of death 'are you not afraid ?' asked death. smiling, he replied, 'do you see fear in my eyes ? it's not death i fear, it is the living. it's not oblivion i fear, it is the remembrance.' as the fog lifted, as he found himself to be stranded on this rock again, his arrogant smile was no more to be seen, his eyes were no longer fearless.

Lost
I met a person, who’m at first glance I can tell That I love the way she talks and how her hair smells As days went by I just couldn’t resist I told her how I felt, “Thank God you exist” “I’m sorry”, she replied. “We could still be friends” “For if we trully fell for each other, it wouldn’t be a happy end”

Fairy tales and fantasies are someone's cause of happiness, Happiness that can't be seen in reality, Reality that we want to escape, To escape just to feel faux happiness.

Happiness
I am lost in a world where griffins fly and the faries flutter through the trees, I am lost in a world where mermaids inhabit the lake, where dragons are curled around mountains and magic is complete real I am lost in a world where I am free, a prince/ss that does not need saving because I have saved myself I am lost in my own mind, so please, do not disturb

Where Griffins Fly
her touch was soft, mapping out the constellations of freckles on his shoulders and back, pale skin, blue eyes and golden hair against the dark sheets of the bed, words of honey left her lips, spreading warmth throughout his body, she was the sun he had been chasing for years, too bad eclipses only last for a few brief moments.
