(new ones added.)
On People
These masks that pass around me
Stiff facades
Happy smiled painted on cement.
On Losing touch with Reality
And when the world comes crashing
Down
And when the stars snuff out their
Lights
Ans when the darkness seems so heavy, it
Suffocates.
Pray.
On Some Memories.
Cling on like mould
Inside rotten fingernails.
On Growing up.
They won't always be
The pink balls of cheeks
The black-buttoned eyes
The million-layered wraps
of wool, and arms.
On Relationships.
Glue them together.
The perfect pieces
that fit in this imperfect way.
They slip and fall
cut
and slip
and fall.
and slip
and fall.
Hold onto each other
for a child's breath.
Seconds.....
for a child's breath.
Seconds.....
...Shatter...
Glass sand.
Slipping through these
fingertips.
Slipping through these
fingertips.
On Being There.
Crawl inside the palm of my hand.
Dear Thumbelina.
I won't let the world
Hurt you.
On Expectations.
Don't expect me to walk in Your shoes.
They're 3 sizes too big anyway
I shuffle forward.
I fall.
I can't fill them up. I can't wear them
long enough and pretend it doesn't
Hurt.
On Everyday.
I wonder whether the
monotony
may not kill me
eventually.
Might do good for a change.
On having the Writer's block.
A barren land sits inside my head.
Frustrated at itself for being dead.
On Hope
And from the centers of your clenched palms
I will draw out rainbows.
A piece of Sky.
Like a dewdrop caught
in cupped palms
I catch sunsets
in windows.
yeh i know some of these are really random. but they're like inside jokes with some friends so that's okay..
