today,
i wore it again
and people complimented me
they say red is my color
and it suits me.

today,
it's too thick and dark
did i overapply
no, it's the right amount
just enough
to make them think
i'm fine.

today,
i look at myself
in the mirror,
and they're right
red shines on me,
so i applied
another layer,
and another
until my lips felt too thick,
but my eyes still see
the scars beneath it.

my heart loves you much
mind refuses to like you
dilemma for me.

Of peace is deep within you,
Find it
Nurture it,
And spread the branches everywhere.

In the vase,
On the window sill,
Whispered to me.
I'm for love,
Smell me deeply,
And exhale the fragrance of my love,
To your loved ones,
With a beautiful smile.

Kindness
was a house.

Knitted by
knowing you.

It was made
of sticky notes.

Encouragement
aching for actions.

Friendship
is the fuel.

Hearts only
in its windows.

Looks didn’t
really matter.

A firm foundation
invisible.

Gates of wisdom
walk to it.

Depression
laughed at it.

Gossip galloped
away from it.

The golden rule
knew better.

We fell in love by chance,
We stay in love by choice.
