I was running as fast as I could as I heard those siren sounds
Blood is still leaking with every step of my way
My heart is racing, my tears are falling
My mind is blank as I stare at the wall in front of me
"I'm sorry, I have to save myself", words you uttered before you hand me the knife.
I still remember the pain in her eyes as the sharp-edged knife went in and out of her.
I can't blame him; he saw her naked with another man.
Perfect alibi! I went inside the policeman's car, smiling.
Love goes beyond what mind can think

we were only three weeks from shore,
when thunder struck and started downpour,
a great mist and fog clouded our eyes,
blinded us to the direction of the tides,
progress soon we did lose,
and as we lamented our perilous cruise,
we did hear an enchanting voice,
we dropped our sails and made the choice,
to rescue that fair maiden poor,
lost at sea like a jewel in a moor,
alas, when we neared her silver tongue,
entranced in the light of the song she sung,
we threw ourselves at her feet,
watched with smiles as she began her feast.
Inspired by the sirens of Greek mythos!

Let’s not sleep—
let’s overthink!
Let’s rethink
every awkward blink.

Let’s write a novel
in our head,
then cry about
what we should’ve said.

Sleep is boring.
Peace is fake.
Let’s spiral till
the morning breaks.

mirror mirror on the wall,
why am I always the one to fall?
maybe this reflection you show me,
doesn't reflect the truth I see,
for though you can see beauty true,
what gives you the right to judge and rue,
who fits your beau ideal, who just won't do?

Watercolour,
Two tears of rain-

Coppered silk dissolves,
Hanging over time.

If Fuji remains
Tell me when

She is a bubbling crater
Steaming lake, fisher,
Cormorant
And all

why does my happily ever after...
need a Prince Charming,
is it really that alarming,
that I don't want an Adam, a Phillip, or even a Ferdinand,
none of my aspirations are that grand,
neither do I care for an Eric or Aladdin,
these suggestions only serve to make further madden,
why can't I be a Merida or a Raya,
an Elsa, a Moana, a Mulan without a sigh of,
'she doesn't know what she's talking about',
'leave her alone, she'll back out,'
back out of what? this pity party idea,
that I need to capture someone else's philia,
I am not disillusioned when I say,
I don't give a **** about that in any way.
