In search of an identity......

All I see is a mist of darkness,
With nowhere to thread my feet in,
In World where there is absence of kindness,
I see a light of hope so thin.
I can’t go on; my body and my soul are giving in,
There’s no fire in belly to seek reasons for my quest,
With efforts and motivation of my kith and kin,
Now, I go along the path where the birds fly in the air so clean.
Then, I arrive at the gates o...

Capricorn

Capricorn

I am a battering ram

Undulating forward with a willful lack of grace

Constantly pushing, pulsing

Headlong into an uncertain oblivion

Destroying myself

Taking pleasure in the pain

The anxiety

Destroying what once was beautiful

Gone

Something isn’t right

I no longer have this feeling that I need to hide

 

I should feel delighted 

But instead all I am is frightened 

 

The thought of it not being beside me

Makes me feel like there’s nothing left inside me.

Letters with in

I don't paint or write anymore 
I don't even read
Where am I?
Where did I go?
It is dark here; 
Save me
Bring me back to the surface
Read the letter addresses by me..
To my self
So I write back
It's been a while 
I don't even remember what it was like;
What it was like to not just see color 
But to feel it 
I can't remember what it's like to feel the words flow out of me 
I don't ev...

Ending

I want it to be over

The voices in my head 

Telling me to end it

And let go of everything I’ve dreamt

 

I want it to be over

The feeling that I’ve dread

The endless loop to stop

I don’t want to be afraid

 

I want it to be over

I want to start again 

This time no voices 

This time I’ll put an end.

5am

I found a way 

 

To redeem myself if I may

 

Followed by sorrow

 

Headed to nowhere only to follow

 

Hoping all this erases the pain

 

Knowing all this is for nothing and all is in vain.

NO SURPRISE

 

My fate is not in your hand

GOD makes our fates alone

Our life are surely planned

GOD feeds the ant in the stone

 

World is certainly small

If compared to Galaxy as shown

Whoever believes is a giant

GOD to perish the giant alone

 

MY heart is calm and glad

Satisfied of what I own

Whatever you earn in the dark

SURELY you'll pay it at noon

Sitting by the river on an old bench behind an abandoned church

Our secret spot for my punk and I to witness the changing season in the colours of the leaves and identifying the signs of the new season where we shared our fears and dreams

Ate junk food and laughed even though the reality of our life was a mess

And I didn’t let it show I told my baby-girl we were on vacation when we were h...
