I think it's safe to say
that right now I'm doing okay
I don't feel sad
I'm not even mad
I'm not yet happy
but then again, I don't think I ever will be
I just think that right now I can truly say
I'm just doing okay.

Peace is like sun,
Strife is like rain,
You have sun,
Then the rain comes,
And washes it away.

I’ve been at the helm on a rudderless ship
lost in a mercurial sea of deficiency
I could fly by the sit of my pants
with a suitcase already packed
on any given day
at any given time
at any given place
I was where I wanted to be
seeing who I wanted to see
doing what I wanted to do
despite my responsibilities as a father
or having to face the daunting tasks
that appeased my current girlfriend(s).
having no structure and no plan,
life was a timeline of formidable prospects.
I rather enjoyed it
quite nicely.
Parents always tell their daughters:
"Don't stay late, it's not safe."

Can't parents tell their sons:
"Don't disrespect, do not ****.
They too are human beings,
just like you are."

You caught me.
For the first time,
My systems are faulty.
I have no content.
404 error (page not found)
You typed a command,
you made your demand—
but no code, no lines, no paragraphs were sent.

I didn’t have anything ready for you.
There used to be words on this page before.

It’s a self-defense you cannot undo;
your comments cut me to the core.

It doesn’t matter what I wanted to say—
I malfunctioned because you pushed too much.

Maybe it’s better this way.
Maybe it’s fate—
to find a user with softer grace.

There’s no need to remain, no need to clutch.
I’ll find a keyboard with a gentler touch

A skillful dancer
Into the Depths
A ballad of love
(I can see we are alike)

Equals ? Certainly not !
Nor could we ever be .

But alike spiritually

Unfortunately
we could never meet

It would be a
(contpěetement fatal)
collsion
A vacious affair
of lightning bolts
(kissing)
inside a tornado's
twisted maw !

I have known you as far as my memory goes.
I have observed you, watched you grow—
As I did too.

But I wonder why we never talked,
’Cause we never talked before,
Was all I could think back then.

And even now,
I think it’s still the same—
’Cause we never talked before,
And maybe… we never will.
I've been an introvert for as long as I can remember. This poem reflects on what could have been—how many connections I might have made if I’d just smiled and started a conversation. But that moment never arrived.
