I turned off the lights
    to remember
        things I ought to forget
Mindlessly getting mi​graines over many matters that seem to be in amalgamation.
We never thought while we talked for hours
       And messaged good morning and goodnight,
                                       Sweet dreams and sleep tight,
And endlessly told each other, " I love you."

We never thought
Of a time we barely talk
And don't message anything anymore
And a time we call each other, "Exes."

Though time has built
an
endless warp
of
suffering and pain
the
ancient dust of Africa
is
breaking down the chain
can you hear
the
winds of change
shifting
through the brain
the
ancient dust of Africa
makes
diamonds
in
the
falling
rain
a message of hope to all parents
Of
the
Third world child
You were Peter Pan
To my Wendy.

A Lost Boy.

Who only wanted to know...
that His Voice
Mattered.

For it meant...
He was finally
Loved.

And that meant ...
It was safe to mature.
I never let you down.
Wake from the dark to a darker place,
Silent room, silent heart. Stillness,
There’s no oxygen and I’m suffocating
Maybe open a window and get out, ran away,
Prison! A square of four rough cement walls,
Dark, silent, airless, trapping bedroom-
Trapped mind.
All my thoughts before I take the morning pill.
Learning the pills are there to assist though life than a way of life. However antidepressant pills sometimes are not diagnose correctly but it’s helping me.

there’s a strange dance with the past:
blurred visions.
if only i could’ve held on a little longer.
swinging back and forth, faster and dizzier, my sunken eyes can’t erase this hazy torture.
