The Battle of Being

I am scared, but I am brave I am sad, but I am happy. I see chaos everywhere, But I seemed to be at peace. I am living, but slowly dying I am asleep and yet I am awake. I want to run away, But I know not where to run. I am grateful for…

Blessed

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed I keep telling myself I am blessed. I am blessed that I endured and survived, At the gates of success, I arrived. I am blessed I fell a million times Yet got up a million one times. I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed,…

I Am My Own Worst Enemy

Be careful of strangers they said, Be weary of men with hidden agendas, they said. But no one ever told me to be careful Of the one in the mirror, with eyes so shameful. Be careful of the world which is so selfish and dangerous, Someone is waiting to stab you with a smile so…

Torn

As I look across the dark sky, While I lie on the grass, I try To imagine I am with someone who cares Someone who is not caped in mysterious layers … The darkest hour of the darkest night, I am all alone, no one in sight. The twilight areas of my mind are awake,…

Broken

I look at my face In a cracked mirror, Why does it send down An unexpected shiver? You agreed to give Your whole life to her, Yet, when it was my turn, You gave just a sliver. I ask myself, A million questions All the answers seem to Give me mixed reactions. I keep begging…

The Medusa in My Head

The past not so distant from me, Overwhelms my present consternation. The Medusa whispered to me An inaudible incantation. How could the Gods punish me? For what was not meant to be … How could my love forget me? When I never asked to be free. My mood trapped in Norwegian daylight, The sun shines but the…

Wish

I wish you were somewhereNot so far away, in the distanceLike the autumn leaves falling two seasons away, I’ve no patience. I wish you were somewhereBeyond my own strange existenceLike the flowers bloom in spite ofThe wind which knows no resistance. The more the days go byOne by one…I seemed to yearn for you, more…

Why?

Why do I see darknessWhen there is light all around?Why does the world keep breaking my pride, when I don’t even make any sound?Why do I shiver in such abject coldWhen there is warmth or so I’ve been told? Why do I feel so invisible,When everyone around can see me?Why do I feel I am…

I am my Own…

They said I was eccentric,A sordid egocentric.They said I was a total foolAn artist by choice, not a corporate mule. They said I will fail,Oh most certain to derail.Impossibly ambitious,Malicious, or even mendacious. I ignored their hostile recitals,Overlooked their prejudiced titles.Invulnerable, insusceptible, Indestructible to the core.I remained my own and promised myself to soar. One…

Thoughts

Run away, run far, far awayI tell my intrusive thoughts, I sayFly away, fly far, far awayI tell my parched soul to not go astray. Try once more, once more againTo believe, to relieve, to live once again,I beg my soul to detach from the painThe sun is so high, but trust me, it will…
