You cant escape reality
When it hugs you like a casket
Ready to burry you deep into the ground

They tell me
I am so adventurous
Because I moved to another
Country.

But little did
They know I was
Simply running away from
Myself.

They tell me
I am so successful
In finding and creating my
Adventure's.

But little did
They know I have failed
At the one thing I meant to do;
Escape.

The happiness you have given me
That's inspiring to all of my steps
The tune you've given in my song
That's playing on my mind always.

You're living in my little heart
and you'll stay every moment
My dreams won't be fulfilled
without your love and support.

The raindrops, you have given me
The storm you've raised in my life
The secret you've shared with me
All that I'm feeling with shyness.

You've gone away, stay away more
Why are you knocking at my door?
I wouldn't want to burn in your fire
No. Be happy in your life forever.

I sip on my green tea
wishing for it to cleanse me.
Wishing for it, to cleanse out the oils and the misery I consume.
Wishing for it to break down my toxins.
Wishing for it ... to cleanse the sections of myself that even I cannot reach.

Green Tea

A substance that supposedly detoxes the belly, but not strong enough to detox the soul

Not strong enough to take away my shadows, my doubt, my ego or my woes.
A drink, not strong enough to hug my spirit at its loneliest hours.
Yet, I sip
.. praying the wet herbs that tickle my tongue shall unlock the gateway, or the path, or the door... to my soul.

So I sip...
And sip...
And sip...

Swallowing it’s brew...and my tears.

Breathing

A breath.

Each breath takes up part of a day.
Every breath restarts the clock of life.

Expansion.

The expansion of the lungs can be meaningful.

A sigh.
A squeal.
A gasp.

A breath.
