Only human; as it seems
Fallen into sin when falling onto my
repenting knees
Saying cheese to the screens,
stuck in a lens of eyes to capture my dreams

Was dead at times, when I felt alive
Questioning myself around the ideas of suicide
Out of sight, out of my mind,
still in this out of foresight and feeling drunk out of mind
Numb to the fact of not being treated well in kind, for my kind

Still that's human- at most when you all know you're a little broken
A clock for hearts; ticking slowly in the circles love
gave us for being too open
Proceed with caution; judging the proceedings of
reasoning your one focus

The forecast today:

Under the cloudy weather, it doesn't all have to be grey
It's okay to not be okay,
you don't have to picture yourself a perfect person, if it's not an easy picture to portray

It's okay to not be okay,
just be the best version of yourself day by day

It's going to be okay

I see the beauty flowers show;
imagine in the wild—
My oversight before July
had been a blindness mild.
The beetle brought her grandness by
erupting sight untold—

love never came my way
despite of praying for it everyday
i waited for something even just a bit
why do i still have to beg for it?
it's so unfair.

It's always darkest just before dawn,
So my love,
Don't feel forlorn.

From within the cocoon,
Break open the door,
Whatever was imagined,
There's so much more.

Collectively turn a new page,
Welcome in a golden age.

tell me, how can i consider myself alive when ur embrace makes me feel like i'm in heaven? when your words strike through my heart? when your presence gives me peace? when sleeping with you actually feel like rest? oh, my love, i die whenever i'm with you.
if this is what heaven feels like, i'm ready to leave this cruel world.

mercy

Nicole
you're the only mercy that the universe has given to me.
you're the only compensation i would gladly accept.
If fire burns
and destroys
everything
in it’s path

then why
do I want
to touch
the stars

so badly

can self destruction
really be so
beautiful

When the impossible
becomes inevitable
& all else seems to fail,
obstacles that once burdened
paths fall to the wayside,
making way for silent miracles.
Don’t ever give up hope, no matter how hopeless things get.
