the idea

the idea is fantastical
a strange fantasy
an illogical make believe
a made up string
a fleeted fling

the idea remains an idea
suppressed down below
swimming to the surface
destroy it, save my face
leave it without a trace

teaching the mirror
if only mirrors could talk
then i might not be so alone
trapped in my own thoughts

"make it make sense" 
the undertones of those beatings
i surrender and i accept my loss
now stop filling the space of my reasonings

let me sleep
and let me be in peace

making my bed

i am guilty of lost hope
of broken promises
of forgotten dreams
of unintentional oath
one step a mistake
two steps too late
unity was a lie
of what's left unsaid

the guilt is creeping up on me
i hope you found peace
i hope your blood kin never encounter those of me
some deserves better
and some couldn't be better

forgive me
i'm trying to forgive myself

the pathological grief

i grieved in my sleep
tears swelled over closed eyelids
they came unannounced, the scenes of the deep
from the past to the future, the pangs still hit
even in dreams i am yet to get over it
sometimes dreams are the realities, and the reality is just something you dream of ?
maybe

no one's there

as i swallow the pills
in my fever state
i can almost hear a whisper from within
"i'll take care of you"

...

will it be as pure as white as snow
or will it be as lush as green can be
will there never be turmoil
will there never be grief
will it be forever contentment
will i never be sad, even just a moment

watermelon

in the name of defense
and in the name of the greater world
you did the unimaginable
of a margin you built
of the terror you provoked
yet you call yourself righteous and merciful
pen on my paper
blood on your hands
don't call it war, in this one-sided gameplan

day to day

_acceptance
some dreams are just forgotten
some dreams i don't dare to wish upon
it's easier to deal with when there are just no expectations
keep your feelings at bay, keep your heart unthreatened

_prayers
show me a life of ease
show me a life of comfort
show me a life of love
show me a life of gratitude
show me serene
show me peace
show me joy
show me release
curled on my bed, words unsaid

_shellter
my numbed shell has cracked
and my flaws are getting into my head
i used to struggle with a lack of emotions
now i'm drowning in a pool of it
