To learn what I already know
Oh the ego I had to grow,
Depth invited me to serve superficiality.
To drink tear wines of ocean bed,
Oh the silent safety of whining Ted.

I have a feeling that's 'Betty', I was looking for Enas.
This is a picture of my friend Becky. She used to be a happy, popular girl until one night she snorted marijuana at a party. She died instantly. Please, don’t do marijuana. It’s the most dangerous drug out there. Please don’t wind up like Becky.

Impeccable, the whole time
I searched.
the contradictory,
void of dead trying to be filled
with pour of emotional attachments
and void of living trying to be erased
with sandpapers of detachment
" I should live"
for I would be remembered.
But then
Happy faces took off the guilt
"I should live"
for I m replaceable.
-Insecurities , a wait for changed perspective

There is a difference in waking up to figure out today,
And to wake up because you didn't miraculously died in sleep.
- Indifference
There exist a definition of word and then there exist your memories to it.

" The valor to keep a fragile heart in burning cotton , placed in a cage of grieving beakless bird. Wishing they both find true purpose like a polar star finds directions."
-Hide and seek; hide the fire, seek the fall.

"First love is hard to forget"
"For my love for him was like infinite neverending trails on my palm, I buried him everyplace I rested. I shared him on everything I touched. He still ended up on my shivering hands holding salt drizzle my cheeks couldn't."

If not love, what will keep us unsatisfied enough to live another day.

I think mankind is better taught at hospitals rather than temples for those who learn. Better experience than be preached. For the ignorant ones, it's just a charade of no meaning.

They told me
'See people of who they are '
What if I told you
I find the heaven of
Devil's kiss in chances
of illusions, of finding
Something better than heaven
I suffered for.
- Don't we all suffer hell in the name of heaven

Like a droplets of condensed steam,
I am once again here, with mild dim
On a random surface surface I could cling on to
On a random reason I could dream on to
All temporary daydreams
Beautiful and fragrant, rushes in like your favorite smelling cream.
Just for a moment I quarreled Shouldn't I be remembered
Beyond fragrance and hand towels
But Then,
Shouldn't I be grateful to sit next to lipstick trace and coffee stain.

Miss me by my giggles
And songs and
How I flip my hair
in my narcissistic moments
Miss me by my sarcastic jokes
And criminal offensive side eye and
How I sass you out
In vulnerable moments
Miss me by unshared eye contact
And how I fidget with my fingers.
- Goodbye, maybe goodbyes!
