Tired, exhausted, and overworked
The feeling as if the world is passing you by
Week by week, day by day, step by step
The feeling is so unreal like I’m living in a dream
Is it me or do you feel...
Pursuit of Perfect
Do not give me only perfect
For there is beauty in what lacks,
The things that are most true
Are filled with flaws, covered in cracks.
So stumble on your sentences,
Forget the...
It’s like our lives are post and future,
And the point at which they meet
Is the line that we must walk
To keep the present at our feet.
And as long as you stay balanced
You will learn that all...
You’ve got your stories pressed like flowers
On notebook pages to be
preserves,
As though the right for you to share them
Has been as yet undeserved.
Or perhaps it’s something
primal
To simply...
“So I let her go,
For it was unfair for me to keep her.
It was the hardest thing I’d ever done,
But I knew it was right.
She was a bird, I had caged,
That had forgotten how to fly,
But dreamed...
If you want to catch a dream
That lifts you high above the ground
You must break free of the things
That are intent to hold you down.
Because the secret to success,
The only way to ever grow,

Sometimes strength is accepting defeat
Resurrecting your body from the dead
Defeat is not an ending...
2:36 AM
2 am is for the poets who
can’t sleep because their
minds are alive with words
for someone who’s not there.
For the alcoholics drinking
themselves into amnesia to
forget someone...
What if I read to you a story,
Starting ; “Once Upon A Time”,
And you realized that it was your life,
Spelt out on every line,
Would you hear my voice with wonder,
As it brushed across each word,
And...
“Breathe In”
Tell me now, how is it fair?
Our lives are just a gasp for air,
That stars barely have a chance to blink
Before into the earth we sink.
Why must we race to fall apart
For time...
“From Up Above”
And she wakes you every morning
With golden pink hands
And she kisses you goodnight
With her beautiful moonlit dance
And She whispers in your ear,
when the wind decides to...
“Petals and Promises”
She was the summer’s last sunflower,
Writing a letter to July,
As though one final correspondence,
Would make an easier goodbye,
But already she could feel them,
The...
“May the sea”
May the sea
Set you free.
May the breeze
Keep you at ease.
May the sky
Help you fly.
May the sand
Guide you to land.
May the shore
Offer you more.
May the beach
Love you...
Underneath
I am my smile,
When I don’t care.
I am my skin,
When it is bare.
I am my heart,
At every beat.
I am everything that
I choose to be.
I am my haircut
And my freshly painted nails.
I...
