its one way glass
my eyes are one way glass
the window to my soul

i can see out
but you can’t see in

overflowing and flooding the room
following the glimpse of strength
overcome by the shadow of gloom

trying to understand
is like trying to build a sandcastle
with no sand

dipping in and out of sleep
screaming to be free
until the screams are weakened within me
when you're not heart broken
what's there to write about
probably i have to look for happy things
but finding feelings is little harder
than pouring unwanted love on the page
As a kid,
I was terrified
of things that went
bump in the night.
Until one day, I realized
this was just my parents
failing to do it quietly.
A new kind of terror
thus ensued.

Between
acceptance and denial
I teeter as I dream

Paralyzed by choices
At neither I succeed

Fear secretes the poison
That puts my mind at ease

That this is all I need
Deserving nothing but to dream

There exists a place within me
Where my memories intertwine

Dancing and embracing
They entrance my wayward mind

Their soft whispers of nostalgia
****** my long lost soul

As they barricade the memories
That fuel my sorrow so
