shimmering
up so high in the sky
glittering
so proud when they try
littering
their tears of great joy
flittering
so angelic and coy

but wait
the stars are not actually there
they're ghosts
they're gone already to who knows where

we're just so estranged
from our stars
the millions of light-years
are like impenetrable bars

the light-years stretch
the so far and so wide
the stars are long gone
and so is their pride

but wait
why do we see the light?
the stars are already dead, right?
we see them with our weak eyesight
because their pride
penetrates
the million light-years of night
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

nostalgia

such a painful feeling
the feeling of knowing you've lost something before

nostalgia

such a hurting feeling
the feeling of knowing you've forgotten it before

nostalgia

such an unforgiving feeling
the feeling that tells you you've wronged before

nostalgia

the feeling that says
"you've remembered, and now you can try again."
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

нσω ℓσиg αgσ?

how long ago

did i wish to see the green?
the browns, the reds, the blues
all that can be seen.

how long ago

did i feel the earthy ground?
i never had the chance
to take a look around

but, long ago

i hid away forever
i scared away onlookers
i said "never, ever."

then, long ago

i'd sleep within my cave
and as i slumbered off my sorrow
they'd all call me a knave.

but that's long ago

i'm not in the past today
i can't look back at sadness
i have new things to say

so, long ago

i may have been a knave
but all i know right now
is that i won't return to my cave.
they told me to never give up on my dreams.

forgotten

forgotten

forgotten, in a lonely world

forgotten, true peace, no boundaries

forgotten, so suddenly, you don't remember how long ago

forgotten, so fast you can taste nostalgia you'll never find

forgotten, so beautifully that you can see the stars intertwined

forgotten, you can feel the staircase that led you here, resigned

forgotten, so rough you have no bearings, no guide

forgotten, you feel the birds that all have tried

forgotten, so abrupt that your existence means nothing more than broken haiku

forgotten, the twister abandons you to straggle, blind

forgotten, you no longer feel glorious, you lied

forgotten, the conch has cracked and fried

forgotten, you did not find where it would reside

forgotten, your dreams slipped right out of your mind

forgotten, for what started did not end, it merely died.

















forever















Thank you for supporting me, everybody. I love you all.
