By any other name
two bowls of rice and pain
Words from a shiny star,
Lulling my sadness to sleep.
I begun hoping without realising,
A faint dream I did not wish for.
What good does having feelings bring?
Nothing, I screamed;
Nothing but pain to my bowl.
I have long past the age of dreaming;
I am but a fool.
My loved ones sent me two bowls of rice,
In hopes that I keep on going,
In hopes that I never fall; never hurt.
I dare not let them down,
I dare not let out cries,
I hid my broken spoons,
the cracks in my bowls;
And I laughed.
warning signs
All too clear,
All too clear,
Right from the start,
It was all too clear;
This was going nowhere.
All these colours,
Blinding neon lights.
My head hurts;
Oh how it throbbed.
It hurts.
It hurts!
Why am I still here?
Why does the lights attract me so?
I do not belong here,
I cannot breathe,
I cannot breathe,
Whisper my name once more,
No, no more!
I can take it no longer;
Let me take my leave now.
looking glass
if you could only see,
if you could only hear,
the words I could not say,
the words you could not feel,
trapped in this heart of mine.
I reached out my hands,
To you that grew distant.
oh how I tried!
but you could not see,
you could not feel,
this flower I grew for you.
all I wanted was a moment,
to laugh with you,
that which started as innocence,
but my heart wanted more.
it really was not enough,
to only look at me once.
