If
If I ever lose my battle,
Just know that I fought.

I tried real hard to be alive,
And my lost is no one's fault.

Say to them the lies I used to tell,
That I'm okay and everything's well.

If you're hurt, let it hurt today.
Cry over silly reasons.
Hold your breath for a while.
Then, only then, you'll be able to let go.

In a Blink
ultraviolet Jul 2021
In an interview I was asked,
"If given the chance to move to a different country, where will it be?"

I'd be where the birds sing,
Where the water flows carelessly,
The fields green.
I'd move to anywhere I can feel what being alive truly means.

"Netherlands", I said.

Hoping she never saw that I am willing to go just right now.

Will wanting to die feel different in another country?

Break the Cycle

At age six, my mother told me that dancing is not really for me. The ballerina in me died that day.

Age eight, I was told by my uncle that I shouldn't sing for other people. I never hummed eversince.

I held a guitar at age twelve, my brother told me "have you forgotten you can't sing?"

I  look like eight-shattered-dreams.

I trust that we know better now.
Break the cycle.

or if you are curious to hear them.

i know there's no point in sending this message to you,
but deep down,
i know you wonder, too.

We'll be alright.

I'm a Libra, and I like rain.

Most times when I am asked why, I snap and say why not.

But really, it was raining the first time my mom trusted me to go to the grocery store alone. I got a banana and I was proud.

There was a storm when my mom decided to let us sleep in, miss school and cook us breakfast for the first time.

A thunderstorm echoed our neighborhood as my mom and I danced through radio and static. The outside was gloomy but we were happy.

So, when you ask me one more time why I like rain so much, I'd say just cause.
