Pitch dark night, rock still above woods,
is chiseled by a million fireflies,
in unison with their
mute, synchronised lights.
Yesterday was serene n playful,
But today it’s just about stress..

Yesterday was about a joy ful laughter on our chubby faces,
But today it’s about babbling all day..

Yesterday our ambition was to win every game next door,
But today it’s about loosing everything just to get the right one..

Yesterday every work was fearless n freaky ,
But  today it's jittery behaviour for any n every work..

Yesterday it was a habit to be scoffed n loved together,
But today even a harsh word peers away in our heart n love is overseen..

Yesterday every moment was like having repose,
But today it's just about having bubble reputation at any cost..

Yesterday was about spending all day on our dad’s shoulder n mum’s lap,
But today it's just ’our’ room, ‘our’ bed,  n ‘our’ lives..

Yesterday changes were cherished as souvenir of childhood,
But today few changes have actually changed us..
But in a deploring way….

i live
my life
in lies.
i keep
my secrets
in my eyes.
yet somehow
you still get hypnotized.
if you ever asked,
i wouldn't deny,
that almost ever word
i've ever said,
has been
a lie.
i'm sick of things,
never going my way.
and i'm sick of never knowing,
the right things to say.
and the words get stuck,
and my hands get tied,
and although i've tried,
i just can't hide,
the secrets that live,
deep inside,
but i can't help but realize,
that writing this,
just like usual,
i lied.
I am no Superman
for kryptonite doesn't make me weak
I am no Hulk
for i have no love one to protect
I am no Batman
for I have no scary thoughts inside my head
I am no Achilles
for my feet and ankles are just fine
I am no Hercules
for love doesn't make me weak
I am no hero
for I cry weep and bleed
But I am superhuman
because I capable of being one
but most importantly
I am superhuman
because I am able on being human
the Hercules thing, i am not sure, i just based it on Disney's story.
I'll add more heroes when i think of any.

Inspired by Briana Joy's hercules. A Cheap Rendition
oh man oh man
you are the apple i want to chop
the banana i want to drop
the watermelon i want to squeeze
the germs i want to sneeze
you're the being i can't tolerate
you make me so irate
you don't know how annoying you are
to some people like me
although i still wish you the best
i just hope you let me rest
i am not one of your projects
nor i'm one of your subjects
who do you think you are
as if you know the whole me
find some other one
who would like you to be
their father, their brother, or their friend
for surely it ain't me
haha! just a silly play on words, cause i don't know what to say or how to say it... but i guess eventually i was able to at the end...
I don't understand how what or why
I don't understand anymore the human mind
I don't understand love hate and relationships
I don't understand anymore the human code

how can they be cold and calculating
how can they be unreal and annoying
how can they change the day of someone
with just a word a look a sound

what made the humans better
what made think they can judge
what made them think they could go after
their fellow comrade

why do some deserve unhappiness
while others think they deserve more
why do some think they are better
why some abhor

I don't understand what how or why
I don't understand anymore the human mind
I don't understand love hate and relationships
I don't understand anymore the human code

You’re his
And he’s hers
You can complain in song or in verse
It doesn’t change anything
You’ll remain his
And you’ll keep hoping he’s not hers anymore
You want to know why
It’s because he didn’t ask
He didn’t even need to try
He didn’t come to you
You gave yourself
Forgetting selfish feelings
And pride for him
Now you’re repenting
Or you’re pretending to
You cannot be feeling remorse
For what your heart –
Or maybe it’s your brain –
Decides
It’s not your fault,
That’s what you keep thinking
And really you should
There is no reason for you to take the blame
For what?
Falling in infatuation? –
Love is too big a word
And you know it
And she’s still there
A big blotch of jealousy
On your idyllic picture
A stain in your happiness
You have to live with her
Even better, you have to accept
That even when – if – she gets out
Of that picture
You can’t do anything
You don’t want to be that girl, do you?
Pride is slowly creeping back up
“I’m not taking anyone’s sloppy seconds!”
“I’m better than this.”
And maybe somewhere in there
Is a little concern for others
“I can’t do that to her.”
“What will people think?”
Oh, there we have it
You don’t want to be known
As that girl
You know her,
Of course you do
You might’ve laughed at her
You might’ve pitied her
And now you want to avoid becoming her
Following like a dog an inexistent trail
But you know that trail isn’t there, right?
You’re better than that, right?
Is that what you tell yourself
Lying alone in bed at night
In the violent imprisonment
You suffer?
You’re not better that that, dear
What do you see in his looks and his smiles?
What do you hear in his words and in his laugh?
You see it, right?
That invisible thread that ties you together?
Of course you do
He’s perfect for you
you have so much in common
I’d urge you to forget him
But you feel special
You think he actually likes you
He doesn’t
He’s playing
He’s a guy, just like the others
I hear you
“No he’s sensitive”
“No he’s my friend”
Friend?
I don’t think so
You are not friends
You’re that girl he sometimes talks to
Especially when he needs something
You’re kind of weird
But always willing to help
And it’d be sad
If you were only that way with him
But it’s okay, I guess because
You’re always like that
That’s one good thing
About this destructive relationship
I’m happy you’re not changing
I’m happy you’re the same girl
The same person
But I wish you weren’t so smitten
I wish you didn’t care so much
