Soft life, well that’s a hard lie.Nothing like a soft life.Perhaps privilege or born with a silver spoon!But a soft life?That’s a fallacy.That life you call ‘soft’ came out of pain.A lot of silent nights and heavy criesHitting rock bottom while learning to walk again.Soft life Tony!Have you heard his story?Try not to use this…… Continue reading Soft Life

A Perfectly Good Time To Not Add A Title
One day two perfect strangers met almost accidentally, They met three more times, Four times the charm (or whatever they call it), Five times. That’s exactly how many times they made eye contact, They had six glasses of wine between them, They found themselves on the terrace talking about their childhood adventures at seven, Soon…… Continue reading A Perfectly Good Time To Not Add A Title
Breathe, Baby Breathe
Inhale, hold and now exhaleBreathe, baby breathe!Inhale, taking in all that you are made of.Hold, remembering where you have come from.Exhale, letting go of all the negativity.Breathe, baby breathe.The weight will weigh you down,That ton of baggage you carry,The waters will drown you,The very tears you cry,The wind will move you,All the things that pulls…… Continue reading Breathe, Baby Breathe
Wahre Liebe
Who said true love doesn’t exist? Or that it has to have you in a chokehold to be genuine, Who said true love has to be painful for it to be real? Who said it has to be a burden for it to feel real, And that lost love is better than not having loved…… Continue reading Wahre Liebe
Backbone
Hold on to me,In my frail state,When the castles I built in the air come crashing down,And there is no dream to hold on to,No reason to live.Be the pillar I can lean on. The stem on which I grow.The hand I hold as I learn to walk again.Hold on to me,Be that quiet still…… Continue reading Backbone
Circle
We went in opposite directions Not knowing what to expect And wishing never to cross paths But our purest confessions was that someday we will meet again.Round and round we goWhat goes around sure does come aroundThe memories came alive, all that was buried They never rested in peace.At the spot of our last goodbyeHow…… Continue reading Circle
Rock Bottom
Down and under,Six feet under,Started from the bottom and not quite there yet.Hopes were high but they fell flatOn and on we still go.Little drops of water makes a mighty ocean,All efforts leading up to this point eroded.Hit refresh!Back to the drawing board,We come back strong.Rock Bottom,We have been through this before,We have seen way…… Continue reading Rock Bottom
Where Do We Go When We Daydream?
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
