Memories like glass,
Carving images into my brain.
Tattooing them there,
Forever.
Never forgetting,
What happened.
My mind is playing them on loop,
Over and over.
Until the day my heart stops.

Your life is almost died and gone
Feel your heart with what is left but not gone
Chose to love and to cherish every moment
From this point on, don’t turn back
For your luck is still open and strong.
A world for you, a world for me
No one else dwells
To sing in the rain

A world for you, for your comfort
Shut your apartment
Sleeping away the day

A world for me, no one has seen
To hide and be free
And I’ll sing as much as I want
Take advantage and weep
Because no one here will ask why
With no one to see

A world for me, it’s what exists for me
Perpetual rain
Chilly warmth but I’m with my coat
And while I weep
I’ll sing myself a song
Walking in the rain

A world for me, not for you
No space left, I’m afraid
All reservations filled
Can’t wait
I got to
Sing in the rain

A world for me, another for you

I’ll weep because of the rain
Because the love of life it’s too much to contain
I’ll let it all out
And I’ll
Explode
In a world for me

A drop
     which falls
                  in the sea,
                              becomes
                                      
              sea.

to my Ukrainian friend.
one day i will leave this world
this world with four walls confining me
i will make wings that can fly and turn me
into a person so humble and wise

i’ll be free from rules and regulations
and one day this world will be mine
one day i’ll grow my own way
one day i’ll grow in my own time.
used this for a project at school ****
theres a breaking point inside of us.
it can be hard to find.
we are all made out of glass, and we act as if we arent breakable.
we treat ourselves with caution,
yet neglect every other fragile thing around us.
I wash
myself
clean
with
forgiveness
each
new
breath  
spring
water
each
thought
soap
and
cloth
