My mommy is sick, I do not like this
Daddy, is she going to die
You say to be brave I'm doing my best
Daddy, I'll try not to cry

Both night and day she spends in her bed
I love her so much I can't lie
I sometimes wish it was me instead
But I know that's something she wouldn't like

I want my mommy well, back to herself
Can't the doctors make my mommy new
Tell me the truth, will she be better soon
Daddy what are we going to do

I told her today that it's okay
She can go to heaven if she needs to
But to save us a place because one day
Both daddy and I will be there too

But until then we will miss you...
some days
i must say
in my haste
i'd like to run away
from where i'm at
to another place
perhaps a wrinkle in
someone else's face
or hide out
inside a crooked smile
anywhere
where i'd not be found
catch an eye
in the middle of a blink
slide round back
and watch them think
after awhile
i would venture out
heading north
to bushy brow
change my looks
and identity
so no one in their right mind
would recognize me
jump onto a tear
wiped close to the ear
whisper subliminal messages
get me out of here
as i make my way
to another place
hiding out
on another face
another town
another frown
just your everyday
runaway
I'm afraid
We're going to isolate
Even further than we are

If we don't get a grip
On this sinking ship
Going down for the third

Being all I, me, mine
Where we spend our time
Inside our solitary rooms

This constant creep of self
Will soon be our death
If we keep humming this crazy tune

Our social butterfly
Has up and died
Cut off in mid-bloom

The once abundant life
Took to flight
With nothing much to do

But to isolate
I'm afraid
Even further than we are

With no flotation devices left
On this sinking ship
Going down for the third
When you walk into a place that your ever so comfortable at but yet so uncomfortable you can cut the tension with a knife leaving you feel unwanted...

Time makes memories
And
Memories heal time






Timeless memories
Are a way of life..

The path might look somewhat unclear
My heart might be throbbing due to fear
My pillow might still be moist from tears
Still, I wouldn't stop moving onwards
The path becomes clearer as I proceed
Even with the fears, I'll push through
undeterred
Until the tears of pain becomes the
tears of triumph.
In this moment
Live in the moment
For all other moments
Are just mere memories
Hello?

Is anyone there?

Is anyone seeing my work?


Have I disappeared?

I feel in a rut that no one can find me!

Hello?
Keep going
Keep flowing,
Keep flying,
And keep calm.
