Words
Words

I don't even know
Whose I can trust
Which I can trust
Which are really meant
Which are just things
People say
Just cause
It's appropriate to

I don't like them
They're not
Constant
You don't know if they're
Real
They can be that pillar of support
Until the mirage
Gets broken
And it just
Disappears
Dropping you
Like a stone

This is why i like
Solids
Hard things
Cause solids don't
Just disappear
They're
Real
And they
Don't
Lie

Words are like
Medication
They can save you
Give you life
But they can also
Take that
Away
And ****
You
And still seem
Harmless

Interesting
How you can
Manipulate
Them
To contradict
To agree
To reveal
To hide
To confuse
To clarify
But that means
Everything
Is doubtable
The duality
They can be your friend
Or your enemy

Words
You either
Hear them
For a few seconds
Read them
On paper or texts
Whether they're the
Former
Or the
Latter
They can still
Be
Thrown away
Disregarded
Given away
Changed
Never to be
Meant
Thought of
Again

"What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them..."

I
Hate
Things
That
May
Disappear.
Sigh. Words are dangerous. (sorry if it doesn't really make sense. I was sleepy when I wrote it...)

Hints
I don't lie
I just phrase things
Differently

I don't hide
I drop hints
Everywhere

You just
Don't
Notice
679 · Jul 2013
Observe
Not sure if I'm right
Not sure if I'm thinking too much
But I'm just gonna wait
And sit here
To observe...

Mirrors
"Mirrors never
Lie"

But

"Perception is
Reality"

And

"What you see in
Yourself
Is what
Matters"

Then where does
Perception
Stop

And

Hypocrisy
Kick
In?
I've always been fascinated by mirrors..

The Beauty of Rain
I find that rain
Is a heavenly thing

It can wash away
All the pain

It can wipe clean
All the troubles and tension

It can relax
The mind, body and soul

It can make you grin
Like you were five again

Splashing around in puddles,
Turning your face to the sky.
Breathe in the smell of rain,
And feel the drops on your skin.

Familiar Figures
The more familiar
The figure,
The easier for me
To sketch
Observing.

Music, my savior
Music.

One of the things
That makes all this

Bearable

Be it listening to
Or making
It’s one thing
That takes all this

Away

Lose yourself
In its lyrics
Dreaming up
Another story

The heavy bass
Beating in time
With your heart

Pour everything
All your energy
All your thoughts
All your pain
All your unspoken words
Into the chords

Feel it flow into the keys
Weave them into the musical phrases
Transforming them into a symphony
Giving life to the notes on the page
Just feeling everything

Gush out

Just for those six pages
Or so
Just for those four minutes
Or so

Music magically
Takes
Everything

Away

Turning them into something

Beautiful

And then, as soon as it had started,
It stops.

And that
Silence

Resonates through you
Through that

Emptiness

And that’s when you can
Get up
Smile
Bow
And walk off
Carrying on
As if nothing happened

Thank you, music
For making this possible
You’ve brought me this far
And you’re still keeping me going.

You are

My savior

Chasing Shadows
I'll try
My best
To dispel them
Even for a little while
To see you
Smile

I'll poke them
Out of you

I'll sing them
Out with you

I'll play them
Out with you

I'll hug them
Out of you

I'll shout them
Out with you

I'll sit them
Out with you

Even if for
Just a little while
Seeing everyone
Laugh and scream
Chase and shout

It's like the clouds
Just parted
To let in a little
Sunlight

Falling
Yuck
Not again
I'm failing
For yet another
Time

Walls collapsing
Mask disintegrating
Voice disappearing
Smile vanishing
Thoughts muddling

Grip is
Loosening
Throwing me back
Into that ******
Pit
I fought so hard
To climb out
Of

My strength is
Depleting
I don't think
I can make that climb
Again
Or at least
Fight that
Monster
Suppress it
Squash it
Ultimately
**** it

My control is
Slipping
My tongue is
Sharpening
My voice either
Booming
Or vanishing
Evil thoughts
Rampaging

I wish it would stop
Where's my will
When I need it
I need it back
To climb
To talk
To smile
To fight
That
Blasted
Side

I can run
But not for long
It will catch up
It has already caught on

And nothing
Already
Matters
Anymore
Oh well. I've slipped again. should just shut up. and ironically, I'm not. Fudge. Fish. Fork.

Gamble
Life is a game
A very big one
A betting game
All the same

You either take it
Or let the opportunity
Pass you by
Hoping for a better one to come along

What if it doesn't?

You either gain all
Or lose all
Nothing in this game
Is guaranteed

Sleep, the Wall and I
The wall
Hard
Cold
Solid

A silent companion

Comfortable

The wall
Won't move
The wall
Won't disappear
The wall
Won't change
The wall
Won't break
The wall
Won't turn
Green
The wall
Won't turn
Blue

The wall
Supports the weight
The wall
Shelters
The wall
Calms
Blank
White
Bliss

Sleep
Shuts off everything
Else

And I am
At peace

Sleep
The Wall
And I

Some things

No matter how many times you tell yourself they are.

Tone
The perks of texting
Is that the tone of voice
You're using
Is not detectable by some

However

This can also become
A bane

Rain
I love the rain
Lose my thoughts
In the steady rhythm
Of raindrops
Falling

I love the rain
Just breathing in
Its refreshing scent
Natural
Peaceful

I love the rain
The cool raindrops
Falling on my skin
Replacing tears
That are left

Unshed

Hanging On
Every time
I feel like stopping
Giving up
When I find
It unbearable
When I find
It torturing
You always manage to come in
You almost always come in
At that moment
And give me encouragement
Like a light to a moth
In the darkness
Giving me warmth
In the cold winter
Make me feel so much better
Giving me a reason
To hang on.
Thank you so much.

The Sun
Sunshine you say
Bright and Sunny
Shedding
Warmth
And light
On Everyone

What everyone takes for granted
Is in fact
The Sun
It just stays there
Suspended in nothingness
An endless void
Of darkness
And space
The next star
Light years away
So
Alone

But it doesn’t cease
Shining
Shedding light
Giving life
But still
Moving steadily
Towards its end
A black hole
In the middle
Of the galaxy
A inevitable destination
Unless
It ends its life
In a nebular explosion.

That day
Woke up
In the morning
The skies looked gray.
I didn’t trust myself
To keep smiling
Or to keep
From crying

That day

I didn’t feel
Like going
Anywhere
I didn’t feel
Like meeting
Anyone
I didn’t feel
Like doing
Anything

That day

We were trudging around
Like lost souls
Under the hot
Sun
Our friendly greetings
Unseen
Unheard
By many

That day

When all seemed
Futile
Our legs weary
Having walked
For miles
Our feet hurting
From standing
For hours
And our cheeks aching
From grinning
And speaking

That day

We all but started
Singing
Our little
Song
A tiny verse
A laughable one
And that little
Song
Piped our spirits
Just for a little
To keep us going

That day

At the end
Of that day
I looked up
To find that the skies
Have turned
Blue
And I’ve got to
Hand it over to you two.
If not for a while
You turned my smile
Into a real one

**That day
Hehe... And thanks for keeping your spirits up guys!  ^^ (And thanks for the hug.. (:  )
In case, you're wondering, the song goes like this (and I'll probably get killed for putting it here, but oh well. XD It's sung to the chorus part of Love is Easy):

"If this is love
Donate some money
It's the easiest thing to do
Give five bucks
And get a keychain
And we'll sing and dance just for you
A simple donation
Makes a big difference
For someone in need
Is this is love, love, love
Ooh it's the easiest thing to do"

It really made my day. ^^ hope it'll cheer anyone who's reading this little verse, even if it's just a little.  :)

Don't give in
It's hard
It's tough
But it'll be over
Soon

"Heads up
Don't stop
Put your shoulders back
And spread your wings up high"

Hang in
Hang on
Don't let
Go

It's hard
It's difficult
But it's still
Possible

Keep going on
One step
In front of
The other

Slow and steady

I'll be here
For you
Anyone
Anything
Anytime

Ears to listen
Hugs to give
I'll just be
A text away

I'll lend you strength
I'll give you smiles
I'll try my best
To cheer you on

So
Don't
Give
In
Remember...

Irreversible
Words
They hold a lot of power
But when you need them
They just
Don't
Work

A simple sorry
Will never do
Enough


Life is a game
But this game
Doesn't have
A replay button
Or
A save button.
Once it's done,
There's no going back.

Sleep
The blissful oblivion
Is magical.

You don’t feel
Anything

You’re not aware of
Anything

You don’t need to hide
Anything

You don’t need to hold
Anything

You don’t need to do
Anything

Any bad thoughts
Any bad happenings
Go away
When you sleep
Suspended in that
Nothingness

When I wake up
I’m a new person

No longer bearing
The grudge

No longer
Tearing

No longer
Exploding

But I wonder
How long
It would last.

Will it?

I need you
Sleep

Don't
Go.

Hearts
Hearts
There are many.

There are those
That are soft
And fuzzy

There are those
That are hard
And cold

There are those
That are cracked
And broken

There are those
That are whole
And warm

There are those
That never
Skip a beat

There are those
That hold
A storm

Every heart,
Differently made

Some of them
Are made of ice,

Some of them
Are made of fire.

Some made up
Of all things nice

Others carved out of
Stone

Treasure your heart
It's more precious
Than gold

Cause sometimes
Some of us
Just have
None

Sick
Cough cough
Hack
Shudder
Head hurts
Giddy
Feel like
Sleeping

Sometimes,
I just wish this were
More than a cough
And that it will take me away

Maybe the medication
Oh yes
Maybe that little sticker
On the side of the box
Marked “POISON”

It doesn’t taste that bad.
Hahas, don't take it seriously. They're just thoughts I get when I am sick... XP

Disaster
The bridges
So carefully pieced
All the time spent
All the effort put in
Burn down
In a second
London bridge is falling down,
Falling down,
Falling down...

Just the Surface
No need
To look so deep
No need
To think too much

What’s on the surface
I want to show
What’s behind that
Smile
What’s behind that
Laughter

Stays behind it
I'm probably the one to worry least about.
Cheer up. :)
411 · May 2013
Living on the edge
That’s how it is
Living with you now
Not sure
How to please you
Fearing every move
Is a mistake
Fearing every move
Will trigger an
Explosion
Fearing that every move
Is
Wrong.

Whatever I seem to do
Is wrong

Whatever I not do
Is wrong

Then tell me
What do I do?

I try
I try
I try
I help
I help
I help
I do
I do
I do

And yet,
I still have
To live on
The Edge.

It’s really tiring.
Don’t you know?
And I'm just thinking... Why... How... What... Did... I... Do...

Of Flight and Weights
Something
Weighing you
Down?

Don't stop
Don't give up
Run
Faster
Further
Stronger

And once you're
Free,
You'll learn
How to
Fly

Just
Doesn't

Flying
Staring into the sky
Wondering how it is to fly
To spread wings
And soar
Breathing in the cool, fresh, air
To be free of everything
Racing ahead of your troubles
Leaving them far behind
Feel the wind in your face,
The air in your lungs
Each wing beat
Taking you
Faster and faster
Further and further
No time to think
No time to worry
Just fly
Into the endless sky

I must thank You
For you have made me
Find
My passion for

Again
I gave up a long time ago, but now you've helped me relight the flame. :)

Too late
Mhm.
That’s me.
Always.
Just a step too late.

Too busy
Too slow
Too far away
Cut off
Not there

I don’t know how others do it
Especially
You two
You always manage
To find
Them
And
Make
Everything
Better

Me?
I’m nowhere
In sight
Oh what a revelation.
It was
Right
Under
Your
Nose
Surprise..

— The End —
