It feels great to be unique
It feels beautiful to be special
But being one of a kind
Is so lonely

Can there please be at least one other person in this universe
That's like me?
Can we be two of a kind together?
Just one...
Please

I've had enough of this
I just need ONE other person
I hate this compliment

Tears come to my eyes
Mum thinks it's because I itch my eyes
I get distracted easily
She thinks it's because I don't sleep enough

I know why
She doesn't
Doesn't mean she doesn't care
It's just not noticeable
It just means she doesn't know me as much as she thinks she does

lie
“i’m not fragile”
i said
through trembling breaths.
“i know”
my mom replied
a little too quickly,
both words filled with pain,
almost like
she was trying to convince herself.
and we both were
pretending it was true.

all i ever do
is lie.

I wonder what I'm doing awake at 3 am

Am I just tired of the secrets smothering me in my sleep?
Am I avoiding the dreams where you sneak in and we pretend it's ok?
Or is it the thoughts of what could be that keep me tossing and turning on my bed?

I think I just need to get some sleep
Drowsy and dreamy...

i always have
the urge to run.

but what is it like
to be a tree?

to be confident enough
to root yourself
and grow with
wild abandonment,
being unapologetically
you?

i'm still running,
but i wish i knew.

He doesn't burn photographs
He doesn't join therapy sessions
He doesn't smoke too many cigarettes
Nor he drown himself into alcohol
He scratches his wounds daily
And never let them heal
He doesn't try to get rid of the pain
Instead he let it grow on him
He waters the seed of sorrow with his tears
He feeds it with the manure of old memories
He takes it to sleep with him
And nurtures it in himself
Till the moment when every single drop of his blood gets replaced by this pain
Until his fragile heart can bear no more
And his soul starts overflowing with emotions
That's when he dip his pen into this pain
And empty his heart on a piece of paper
He bares his soul for us to feel
He creates poetry that the world would cherish for centuries to come
That's how true poetry comes into existence

If I had a chance to time travel
I'd stay right where I am
My past is filled with many mistakes I'm still trying to forget
My future is not something I want to see
Present is the least burning hell right now
Turns out life's not that bad right where I am... Doesn't mean it's not bad :(
