My last goodbye

Finally Its been a year without you there were ups and down But I made out alive without you I'm okay now I still dwell on the past but I'm okay So I'm going to say my last words to you Goodbye

Unrequited

I hand out umbrellas every day My tears rain down endlessly Because people would rather get soaked.

Dad

To some a hero To others a rollmodle The person you look up to A protector Someone who keeps the monsters away Someone who dusts you off when you fall A friend Someone you play ball with Someone you mess around with But to me a Dad Is someone who forgets to call Someone who disappears for years on end Someone who forgets his promises But most importantly he is someone who I can't rely on Someone who would rather raise someone else's child instead of his own

Mercy, mercy, peace

Beyond burnt, I plead - mercy, mercy, peace. Beyond hurt, I pray - mercy, mercy, ease. With the vivid imagery of fire in mind, It's impossible to forget all the vows that bind -I've promised, I've sacrificed, and more. If there ever was one, I closed my escape door. The flames were always described as cleansing -the best way to get rid of every dark thing. If one's terrified of reflecting their past, Maybe they shouldn't - it should be the last Time they ever do anything like that And don't hear: "you liar, you filthy rat." Beyond burnt, I plead - mercy, mercy, peace. The memories in my head keep buzzing like bees, I want to get away from them, to come clean, To accept the past's wha truly has been.

Dearest child

I saw you, I held you in my arms, Since then, I wish no harms Ever go your way. Every word I utter, say, Should be devoted to you, Express how my love is true -my child, my dearest, my bird. I desire to give you everything While you stay under my safe wing -sunshine and golden sand, Dearest, give me your hand And I'll navigate through the storm From the tilted stage to flat platform -my child, my dearest, my bird. I sit in bed wide awake late at night, The empty house doesn't feel right

No one's anything

Lately I'm feeling alone, Everything I hear has an off undertone, Instead of natural light, No color ever appears right, And looking around, There's only me and the ground. I realize now That I've become a kind-of hungry crow -sitting on a pole, Offer me a finger, I'll eat your arm whole, Yet once they all leave, There's nothing I could achieve. Does it make sense To desire a picket fence While being picky And falsely calling all tricky

Ruined

If I could force the Sun To fight me, one-on-one, I'd lose yet reach my goal -while the light burnt me whole, I'd feel fully content, For my own will'd be bent By myself, the fallen, The one who's crestfallen While I've myself to blame For ruining me - the shame Never washes away, I led myself astray Just like a shooting star -unimportant and small. From me to my own soul -you've got a simple role

Speckle of dust

Tree leaves fall and disappear, Meanwhile, I argue with fear -a priceless petal, I'll fade as well, And I feel the end's now very near. A speckle of dust bathed in sunlight, Barely noticeable even when it's bright And forgotten quickly - that is me, Though the position did never feel right. An unimportant moment of grace Will end, punching me in the face With the twisted joy of reality. 'You, sweet, won't even leave a trace.' While I never considered screams The pathway to reach my wildest dreams, It now seem like I've run out of time, I have to step into the blinding beams.

Inability

There's an unexpected tranquility In falling into inability -but then, no duty and no self-control Will turn into one's disability. How to work, when the least is hard enough, Once after a break nobody acts tough? Forcing oneself to become a mere bot... A great facade, yet the edges stay rough. It may take months for a simplistic soul To regain its energy and turn whole -exhaustion, as well as life in itself, Do enjoy making one lose all control. Such a terrible sin, a shameful act, And with terrifying long-term impact... Even when one leaves those bad days behind, Their hidden presence becomes a dark fact.

Statues

All statues are born the same -needle-thin, flawless and without shame, Photogenic and cute, with a smile For the few moments while they haven't a frame. Everyone likes sparkling things, Yet only the beasts offer the rings Once clock strikes noon and the chances fade, Most of the butterflies lose their vivid wings. Years pass, all's covered in sand, Life gets rusty, depressing rebrand, Nothing, nowhere and no time to hide, One never receives a single helping hand. All statues are lost the same -crumbling and without their own name. Devastated by being let down, They freeze, losing the metaphorical game.

List of pillars

Something important has ended right now, Entities switched onto another row, I feel clueless and I want to know how, For all the temple's pillars have fallen, Everything is crestfallen, I'm drowning in ink While everyone else says it's pollen; A bird cage blurred into a flower field, Vibrant colors used as an optimistic shield In the middle of a violent battlefield -sophisticated yet short honest words Instead of iron double-handed swords, Misunderstanding's lethal, Those who seek always chirp like birds That can turn into mythical creatures With surprisingly human-like features
