You're Like A Book To Me

Pupils dilate by the presence

of a book that caught me

Heart skipped a beat as my hands found

glory when I touched its skin

Lost in a trance when its soothing smell

visits my nostrils

Mind flew high as it speaks

countless possibilities and so

from there I knew

how I fell in love

With you.

Letting Go

In the midst of losing myself

I seek console from a friend,

despite it seldom happens

I'm assured she's there till end.

Opening the gates of sorrow,

to her, I have surrendered.

I'm tired, I told her.

Swiftly, a wisdom she offered.

Sometimes, it's okay

not to swim against the tide.

Her words hit straight to my heart,

and that I cannot hide.

She was right,

I'm holding too tight on a rope.

With the current against me,

I was tired yet scared to let go.

Sometimes, it's okay to wander

your eyes away from the goal.

Letting go isn't equivalent to giving up

but rather,

a way of realization

to take things slow and not lose all.

Grandest Dream

I can still remember

so vividly,

from the past,

my grandest dream.

From that summer night

I've shared to you,

eyes with gleam,

my grandest dream.

I was filled with high hopes

that you'll support,

the ecstatic idea,

my grandest dream.

I can still remember

so vividly,

you called my grandest

an elusive dream.

I'm Still Trying

I've always

wanted to

understand

you.

But,

it looks

as if you

don't want

me to.

Something Familiar

Look at this vibrant child,

that's playing under a tree.

Giving vibes of his future,

that he can bring home victory.

A smile of happiness displays,

on his face so young and free.

This is his time of innocence,

long before he flees.

This phase of life always gives me

the chills of familiarity.

Because all adults were once like him,

just a child full of dreams,

spotless of uncertainty.

Sober

Subconsciousness taking over,

Releasing the innate power.

Although this is happening,

I'm unsure if it's me that's talking.

I'm drunk but declares sober,

That's just me like any other.

It's the game that everyone's playing,

Being caught but still pretending.

Tonight let me release the other,

It's been hidden like forever.

Let this be a temporary remedy,

For my lingering insanity.

Tomorrow let me suffer,

Multiply the thoughts that come over.

No one can escape from reality,

Perhaps that's the real tragedy.

Nobody

The reason why we condemn

Egos exist on our realm

People fighting contentment

Struggling to have acknowledgment

That's how it is

All are born narcissists

Nobody wants to be still

Nobody wants to disappear

Nobody

wants to be

Nobody.
