I know you didn’t want to

become one of them…

But life is so messy,

so heavy—

all in your hands.

You’re caught in the present,

in sorrow and distress…

Afraid that the things

that you love

might slip through your hands.

And I know,

you are trying your best.

But they judge you…

in every single way.

Even if the ocean is true,

you are stuck in your sailing blues.

Can you see what I see in your eyes...

_Our making of ourselves is set apart,_

__

_Distinct, authentic, holding worlds within._

_Created each in difference, not the same,_

_To guard the vast originality of life._

__

_And yet, we humans fashion random words,_

_To mark another as unlike ourselves._

_We craft a gaze that names them “different,”_

_As if that means they stand outside the whole._

_But when I call us “ethereal,” I mean_

No matter the circumstances,

make sure to count on me.

Hold my hand

when you need reassurance.

Lay on my shoulder

when your tears need to flow.

You’re special to me—

from the moment I saw

your tiny figure

in that soft pink crib.

That’s when I knew

my role.

No matter the distance,

the time,

or the place—

know that I’ll always protect you.

I’ll follow you—

quietly,

faithfully.

You will always hea...

Awakening

Awakening—

Drifting truths

Soon become

Fireworks.

Drawn in closer,

The more—

You’ll see it spark

In a blink of an eye.

Awakening,

Believing freely—

Freedom,

Like flying columbidae....

If only you knew how much I think about you.

I mean it—you’re on my mind every hour of the day.

How is it that you have me so wrapped around your hands,

Just with your gentle stares, your laughter, your silence…

Even your unspoken conversations?

I don’t communicate well through a phone or text—

But believe me, I scream, I kick my feet, I jump up and down

Whenever I see your name light up on my s...

Something about her always caught my attention.

And it was her loudness.

Way too loud—just so she could be heard.

I never understood why she acted so extra in my eyes.

Yet somehow, she seemed like one of the most beautiful,

funniest, and most lovable people to exist.

That’s when I realized—

She’s a broken girl.

One who carries so much insecurity,

thinking no one could ever truly love her.

I sa...

When I look in the mirror,

I see another reflection—

of my broken self.

She’s full of lies,

hatred, and…

jealousy.

I ask her:

“Why can’t I be like her?”

“What does she have… that I don’t?”

“What… makes her so damn special?!”

But—

She’s looking right at me,

ashamed of who I’ve become.

And what—

I made her become.

I talked back to her,

punishing her for something

that was never her fault.

I y...

_You were right there,_

__

_next to me._

_But suddenly—_

__

_you vanished._

__

_I tried to hold you tightly,_

_wishing you wouldn’t let go._

__

_But…_

__

_Were you really there?_

__

_I hear you,_

_I feel you,_

_I see your reflection—_

__

_within me._

__

_I try to follow your guidance,_

_within…_

__

_perhaps you could give me a sign._

__

_Or…_

__

_were you even there?_

_Did I perhaps—_

Truths hide

deep inside a gloomy cave.

Deep inside—

humid, and cold.

Trails of unforgiven lies

you’ll unravel.

Crystal clear—

Truths,

who would hold us through.

Despair,

as we flee through the cave of lies.

Deep inside, that terrifying cave.

Sad, and abandoned....
