entering a whole new dimension just by looking out the window, and now you’ve been locking eyes with this stranger for five whole minutes… where do we go when we daydream? does the world around us just cease to revolve? does time just stop ticking? do we begin to exist outside of our own bodies…… Continue reading Where Do We Go When We Daydream?

X-RAY
Easy going, smiling faces, All is well you see. Look good, put together, all prim and proper. I bet all is working in your favour. But under the x-rayed vision do you see what you otherwise wouldn’t. The baggage of depression, The anxiety scare and panic attacks The hopeless feelings With many friends and followers…… Continue reading X-RAY
Fuego
you and I, we’re like fire together, like two peas in a pod, it’s perfection, it’s flawless synchronization like we’re rowing a canoe together, i’m chef and you’re sous chef, just because we work so perfectly together, we’re intertwined like box braids, our pinky promises are a big deal to you and i love it,…… Continue reading Fuego
A walk through hell
In the fiery furnace A thousand feet under Burning coal and torturing demons A daily struggle of attacks and battles Yes, it’s a walk through hell Where nothing seem to work, Just at the verge of a breakthrough, You find yourself starting all over again. I have been to hell and walked through it, Had…… Continue reading A walk through hell

DECEPTION
words that were cutthroat,words of deception,that’s been your craft since inception,it’s not easy to say but that is how you came to exist, words of deception, clean as stainless steel, no way you could see through it,sometimes you were here, sometimes you went M.I.A, was it me? was it you? we will never know, because…… Continue reading DECEPTION
Suicidal
You seem to be the only option left,The only one that makes sense,Right here, right now,This minute, this very second,There is no way out of this one,Not this time,It all comes to an end, today.Today it ends.In a few minutes I draw my last breathe.All the pain will end.Nothing more to loose.No more disappointments.Nothing more…… Continue reading Suicidal
Marble To The Touch
skin deep,quite steep, your hands felt like marble to the touch, when i held them they were shaking like there was no tomorrow, don’t weep,let’s sleep, tomorrow has only just begun, i’m well aware of what we have, are these butterflies and chills i feel? or is it just anxiety, i’ll lay low for a…… Continue reading Marble To The Touch
