Most of all


Courage, you kept 
While running in a direction
That would never end 
But you forgot 
That you weren’t alone 
I tied the laces on those shoes 
And I kept the water bottles 
At every junction 
And now you run 
Like you’ll never make it 
Because you run 
Like you’ve already made it 

It’s unfair 
To want you to be miserable 
To want you to remember 
The moments that led you off the cliff 
I pushed you
Because I knew you’d never fall 
And yet, 
You run from me most of all

How you read

Abandoned words
come together
on this old
sheet of paper
Old friends unite
Old flames ignite

Surrendering to
a past unknown
Forgiving a
future untold

Godless
yet pious
The words
write themselves
While the pen hisses away,
Each emotion blinds and fades

Is this a story
or a poetry?
It all depends,
on how you read

All of them

It isn’t a normal day 
I had company today 
Bright vigilant eyes 
Soaking mine 

Peering so deep 
All I could see was me 

Alone he was 
Scouting ins and outs 
Alone I was 
Oblivious, drifted and flawed 

For a second, I could tell 
He was me and I was all of them 

Sticks

Sticks walking around  Invisible, Forgettable  Running in circles  Walking straight lines  Stick snapping, Voice breaking, Ye...
