true sight

we all came from all parts of the globe
so different we saw nothing in common
pride and prejudice
we were not ready to sit down and see
see the similarities we shared

obvious differences overrode
the mere presence of the hidden bond

pushing through the differences
we fought to stay together
knowing we were doing it not for each other
but just cause we needed to

however, the ice have slowly melted away
and we saw how blinded we were
how the days have combined us
so tightly we're attached
by heartstrings and pulses

now, every surge and tug
i feel deep inside
for i know how they feel
for i truly see them

end

the water ahead looks choppy
the wind ahead feels strong
the air suddenly becomes thick and heavy
pulling all oxygen away from me

surrounding me,
the others turn into vultures
prowling and circling me
ready to pounce and attack

ready to flee and pull away
i pull as hard as i can
surging forward i don't look back
can't afford to, i must look ahead
focused and ready to dispense my strength

the race hasn't end
for this is just the beginning
we aren't winners
we aren't losers
not till the end of ends

worlds apart


it seems i know nothing about you
and you nothing of me

we could be so different
we're like fire and ice
we could be so similar
we think the same things

but we'll never know
because we're worlds apart

sure

when you were so sure
you had no problem believing
when you were assured
you had no worries about betrayal
when you start to doubt
you begin to wonder
when you start to lose faith
you begin to ponder hours on end
when you start to fall through the cracks
you know that it's all over

history

there was a time when i thought i was invincible
and when i thought my room was the ultimate playground

there was a time when i thought i was indestructible
and when i thought my mom was my super hero

there was a time when i thought i was super awesome
and when i thought that the television was a magical black box

times have changed
and i've evolved;
forced to conform into what i must
it was such a sweet past

escape

when a book draws you away
you know you have gone over to the other side
you get lost in fiction
because you rather be there then be here in reality

this happens when reality is just too cold and harsh
to understand and withstand
you know your smile would at least be real
then the forced kind you make in this world

unruly and unkind
you retreat into the desolate world of words
and turn your back to the barren land of feelings
leaving behind all hope and disappointment
to be contented by the plain sight of words
and made up fantasy

savouring the lies of writers
and tricked into oblivion by the paragraphs of beautiful literature
blinded by the illusion of hope and desire
habouring yet another bundle of pure bliss
and fall into the traps yet again

eye candy

it started out as a feast for the eyes
how perfect your face seemed
there were no sparks
nor were there feeling
just the silent glee of seeing you

but she got greedy and wanted more
what was just an innocent infatuation
slowly turned into more
the sight of you excites her
the sound of you intrigues her

she feels the warmth spreading across her body
and the perfect face seems to glance right pass her
oh how she craves to be noticed
looked at and loved
by you
