I used to think that happiness was all there was to life
And I had a hard time, striving...
I used to keep my shadow side kept hidden deep inside
And then my mask slipped, I was hiding...
...

I invite my heart to speak
What will it tell me?
It feels closed to anything warm
So this may take some time...
...

This too shall pass or so they say
But in this moment I am in pain
My eyes are leaking
My head is sore
...

Up and down I traverse through the vale
This ladder of success serves greed and fear
Sliding from systematic democracy
Gaslighting the masses with rose tinted glasses
...

Netflix delivers
Tiger King craziness
Giving me shivers
Netflix delivers
...

Sakura, Sakura
Shake your branches for me
Oh, cherry tree, with your good education
...

Sweet
As candy
Twice as cute
...

Early one morning words were missing
Before that words were not.

As time ticked by, words were picked up
...

A tangible void,
The paranoid unemployed ache and quake
From wars outdoors; a cacophony of misery,
Myopia of liberty,
...

Away from the world, in my private space,
I cocoon.
Still resting after chaotic cacophony,
I lay.
...

Alienation tearing you apart
Isolation from the unity heart
Suffocation of emotion
Just to get by....
...

Oftentimes I have seen the embrace
Of a mind opened wide to the sky
To believe and research, understand
There's much more now to know about life.
...

How many times have I walked to and fro
Along the shore dipping my feet beneath
Glassy aquamarine waters' flow
To wash away my pain from underneath?
...

She looks pensive,
Lost in thought.
Finding the remnant of last night's dream
Somewhere in the depths of the ‘to dos',
...

Mask my mind with the mundane
Rather rush than run away
All together in the absolutely
Never neglect nor negativity
...

Flight of fanciful fun
Alighting on the wind
Enchanting with a wand
Revelling in florals
...

Grubby and mud loving
Obstinate and stubborn
Beings with broad noses
Listening in the dark
...

Impetuous creature
Making trouble in woods
Practising fire eating
...

Always watching over
Night wakers keeping guard
Guidance to the sailor
Every sparkle scattered
...

Hairy
Old
Goblin
Gives
