We know who we are and we stay true to who we are.No faking, no pretence, no malicious intent.Only authenticity on our turf.You will know our flaws, you will see our wrongs,We bear it all.Unapologetic of our shortcomings, of soil and of blood, we are humans.We know who we are.We know what we are made…… Continue reading Identity

The past days have been hell for you,I know this because I prepared the fire,Served it while it was blazing hot,And when the fire was about dying out,I added some more coal.Insomnia must have creeped through your walls,With all the doses that kept you up at night.Cold and bitter to swallow,Venom filled words spewed without…… Continue reading Stone Cold
Birdie

The Girl From Mars
because she’s ethereal, absolutely endearing, but she carries a painful memory inside her, and in her own words…”turning the faucet on an open woundand it was just like that,a back-against-the-wall kind of feeling,no time for goodbyes,feelings of estrangement buried deep in lies,for a moment we crave peace,and then forget that trauma fuels our delusion,our delusion…… Continue reading The Girl From Mars

Late Bloomer
And what they did not know is that you are a late bloomer. You take your time to form. After all have shown what they’ve got When they have been harvested and there is nothing left to offer. Is when you spring up, Out of time and season. You are the reason You bloom and…… Continue reading Late Bloomer
