Time is like water cupped in your hands, slowly seeping through each crevice until eventually collapsing.

Childhood dreams are replaced with idealistic futures, until a show or book uncovers them once more.

The pages engulf you, transporting you to a life in a forrest, where you remember each dream you promised yourself.

You feel free, only to emerge from the pages, gasping for air.

That small spa...

When I was twelve years old, I thought I was ready for the real life. Just because I had been in a hard family situation I assumed I could do everything by myself. Even cooking. When I ignited the stove to make a simple tea, while all my family was resting, I realized how erratic I was. All the boiling water dumped in my right leg causing me second-grade burned skin. How would I wake up my parents...

**A Journey Beyond Regret**

In the muted glow of a cold November evening, Harriet wandered through empty streets with a heart laden with quiet longing. 

She harboured a secret that threatened to **ignite** the dormant embers of her hidden purpose. 

Years of self-reproach had left her feeling **ashamed** of her susceptibility to unfulfilled dreams. 

Her emotions, at times **eratic** in their s...

The wind was wild, its whisper erratic,

Dancing through trees in a rhythm dramatic.

A spark in the dark began to ignite,

Turning the silence to flickering light.

I watched as the fire climbed higher with pride,

But something inside me still wanted to hide.

I’d struck the flame, though I never aimed,

And now I stood there quietly ashamed.

But the night forgave with its soft, gentle hum,

Reminding m...

When the sun goes down

And the moon comes up…

There’s one thing that keeps them up

…and it’s the threat of tomorrow—of failure.

It ignites the past they’re ashamed of…

Hour before dawn, lying awake in the somber silence.

Taking consequence for their erratic actions…

And when the sun rises in the morning….

They waste the day dreading morrow

and regretting the unretrievable past....

I stare at my exam paper, my mind tuning out the noise of the lively classroom, wondering where it all went wrong. You see, a lot of people would think my score was high. Well, yes, thats true. Its higher than average. I should be _ashamed_ of my score. The 7 mistakes, I couldve gotten correct! God, _what is wrong with me?!_ A fire ignited within me. This paper, what was it all for? The hours I sp...

Embers of Regret

Flames ignite in the midnight air, born from hands that tremble, unaware.

An erratic wind twists and turns, fueling a fire that silently burns.

Ashamed, I watch the embers glow, secrets lost in the sparks they throw.

The night swallows my whispered plea, as guilt consumes what's left of me....

It started in my brain, going insane,

Growing up unwanted, unloved, ashamed,

All the voices in my head are full of static,

They grew on me, understood me, it’s was completely erratic,

Showing me I can survive alone,

In this house that’s never been a home,

I may be young and weak but I still fight,

In the darkness of my mind a spark did ignite,

A hollow shell living on the tip of a knife,

Now a sou...

Damals.

Den Blick gesenkt noch.

Nicht aus Gottesfurcht.

Wahnsinnig nach Trunkenheit.

Endlos beschämt durch das Vergessene.

Manifestiert als Gefühl.

Die Seele entzündet.

Brennend nach dem, was es nicht gibt.

Auf der Suche.

Jede und jeder eine statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit gegen null.

Gib mir den Schlüssel ich werfe ihn weg.

Bleibt noch das Leberwurstbrot von Mutti in der Hofpause.

Was keiner ver...

Set ablaze

Let it ignite

Let it be erratic

I don’t feel ashamed

I feel glad

That I was able to burn

What we once had

No more love

That is long gone

I may be crazy

But am going to set you

Ablaze in the night sky...
