Lying down under this beautiful starry night Fills me with a quiet kind of happiness. Alone on this silent hilltop, A glowing lantern beside me, My favorite book in hand — It’s the scene I always dreamt of. For once, I’ve stepped away — From responsibilities, From the noisy world, From people and their expectations. Here I am, Feeling the warmth of the lantern’s light, Letting it remind me That a simple, peaceful life is still possible. This silence. This natural breeze. This soft glow. This time with myself — It’s all I need right now, To hope again.

A Lantern of Hope
Drank a whole year at twenty-four, Almost thought my liver forgot its job. Fingertip burns; losing streaks, ******* rivers of regret; I can't swim through. Christian tears only fall When I’m bargaining with God... It’s human. Heaven’s promised tomorrow, The next day feels like hell. Sunday first, Mondays again. Fall to my knees, fall out of my pleas; Jack of all trades, jacking myself up Just to cope; barter trade myself Just to get by; I rearrange stars Behind closed eyes. Please Lord, take me back home To that poem— lost in its world, Far from this broken one, in pieces... I broke down in my very first poem
