Poem: I admit

 

Poem: I taught myself

 I taught myself

how to stand still

while the ocean roars inside

 

I taught myself

to never reveal everything

for fear of not fitting in

 

I taught myself

there is beauty

in being who you really are

 

I taught myself

how to tend to my wounds

for in life you have to take care of yourself

 

I taught myself

to be stubborn

otherwise my goals will just laugh at me

 

I taught myself

to think it over

before speaking up

 

through it all… I never taught myself

how to stand in the light

how to raise my voice not to be shut down

how to spend the time that has been given to me

so that when the time is up, I won't have any regrets.

Poem: Life is heartbreaking

 

Scribble: Winter

 

Poem: Heartbeat

Our eyes are timeless,

the universe looking back at itself,

wordlessly.

Hold your gaze a little longer,

everything can change

in a blink of an eye.

Years and the days we lived,

our paths cross again and again.

Stand close to me, heart to heart,

where we seemed to be tied.

Let me run my fingertips over your

neck and chest, and meet your heartbeat.

Nothing stays, but this lingering feeling,

of a distant home, so close I could taste it.

Poem: Torchbearer

 

When I think I've reached the bottom,

you show me new depths of love,

as if it's an endless well,

and your voice echoes inside.

 

Unintentionally, we touch each other

in a million ways; your road is yours to walk,

and I admire your actions and decisions.

 

There is freedom in finding ourselves,

our life is ours to live, courageous are those

who can just be and know themselves.

 

I was rushing for a future self,

but you taught me life is not to be rushed.

 

Everything is as it should be.

 

Surrender to the quiet,

what you feel is yours.
