If time is healer
As they always say
Why does  it still hurt
After all these years

The loss of love
Is never replaced
No love is the same
From another’s face

Each love is different
None are the same
So the hurt from a lost love
Still feels fresh through all time

Wash your hands / Don't touch your face
Touch your face / Touch your face
Wash your hands / Don't touch your face / or face corona

admit it
we've all messed up
admit it
we've all hurt people
admit it
you're afraid to let anyone know your human
AND that is what makes us human
so just admit it

ink is the same color
as a certain canvas

when you look hard enough
you can almost see
the stars sprinkled in there

We have become so complacent as life goes day to day.
Doing things that we do always in the same way.
Now things are changing and times are getting sad.
People are getting scared, people are getting mad.
"I'm losing time and money, you're interrupted my life!"
But we are realizing we have family, children, husband, a wife.
We are becoming human again, caring and kind.
Thinking of others and keeping their needs in mind.
We are taking time to think, breath and slowing our pace.
And maybe this is what we needed, reality to slap us in the face.

The roaring sound of the early morning breeze
Creeps through my ears
It tries its hardest to lull me to sleep,
By whispering my deepest, darkest fears

At the wee hours of the morning,
Where the calm and darkness dance and crawl,
People are dreaming deeply of a tomorrow
That may never come at all

As our cries are thrown silently to the void
And as the world sleeps tightly tonight
The solitude within the night comforts us
As we wait for the glorious morning light
As the title implies, I wrote this one when I failed to get some good night sleep and I cannot help but think of all the thoughts that make my head heavy.

They don't tell you about the beauty
They only talk about the horrors
Never reporting the good
Only retelling the terrible
Waking up to the television screaming
About current events
Overwhelming amounts of news

Being informed is one thing
But ignorance is bliss
Know the big news around the world
But sometimes it’s best to ignore the everyday stories
To rid the constant looming chaos
In daily life
