to be understood.
The epitome of human connection is to be understood. Without understanding, human relationships can fall apart even quicker than they came to be. You’re so blinded by what you think is right and wrong that you fail to see. You’re blind to me because you can’t see why I am the way I am or […]
moment in time
“Leave me be, take your hands away.Let me breathe,and let me breathe on my own.” I sit in a stall, watching the minutes tick away as time comes to an end. An old man I can’t see, sings to a tune unheard of. The waves of his voice soar high and low, his voice ancient […]
I don’t want it anymore
I don’t pray anymore.I used to believe in the Father—my father that passed in the past—and then I believed in heaven,a hopeful cloud that didn’t last.I played a faithless symphony coldpraying to the god of death,now I don’t believe in anything at all,only one being, being myself.

the girl in you sees the girl in me
She met me on a bridge, the only one left untouched by fire. I looked into her ember-lit eyes, at the soot smudged on her face, at the ash in the crevices of her hands, in the cracks of her smile, and underneath her fingernails. Scars lined her body; burn marks forged in flame and […]
the son of God
Put a crown on my head after all, I am the son of God, the heir of the untouched; the perfect one; always to be missed, never to be seen, the one who was cursed the one who was blessed. Swearing an oath when I was born, changing the fate of those unwritten, the destiny […]
