A love letter to everything I have survived
Darkness in its deepest sonder, desolation in its truest bareness, all embraced my shattered skin, Enclothed in the tightness of survival, the light that belied in its invisibility propelled me to keep my hope akin.

Would you?
If you have to sacrifice your life for me, would you? If you have to jump off the cliff to save me from falling, would you?

Moonshine
I asked thee, where am I going? Somewhere your heart is looking out for, Somewhere the flowers never die, Darkness fades away with the light of the fireflies', Where it rains to see the grasshoppers dance, And the sun shines to see that one sunflower smile. The stars sleeps with the blinks of silver glitters.

Love is a gamble. But I’m not willing to take that bet. The odds are thin, and the downfall is massive. I’m not risking myself against numbers stacked so high against me.

Own Your Story
A life unloved, yet lived with grace, Mourning the paths we didn't take, the roles we didn't embrace. The weight of what could've been, a burden we bear, A waste of time in regret and despair.

LOVE
Love. . . The furthest goal that I can never reach The thing I want the most but afraid to imagine The thing I always hope for but never comes

The world outside my window
Life is like a blooming sapling ready to embrace the world, Humans are joyous creatures that can be curious for all the hundreds of reasons that exist,
