The Light Will Guide You

Dark, pitch dark All around, With nothing to be seen, With nothing to go by. Where then, is the light They say would guide you? Dark, pitch dark All inside, With no clue, With no direction. Where then, is the light They say would guide you? Dark, pitch dark Is the colour of the season. [...]

What If I Die Tomorrow?

Today, I live. But who can speak of tomorrow? What if, I die tomorrow? Today, I do so many things. But is this how I want to die? Should these be my last moments? Today, I breathe. But would I rather not really live? Even if I had one day left? Today, I worry about [...]

You are the Sun

It's your universe. It's your story. So here dear, you are the sun. You are not just a planet, Revolving around someone else. Here, you are the sun. Don't let them fool you, Into acting like what you are not. For here, you are the sun. You are burning alive inside, Not yet burnt out [...]

Stand Up For Yourself

Your knees may be wobbling, For you may have been beaten down, From fear, disrespect or hate. Still, I say, Stand up for yourself. The walls of your world May have collapsed all around you. The walls you spent your life on. Still, I dare say, Stand up for yourself. You might seem all alone [...]

Why Merida?

Of course, I don’t look like Disney’s Princess Merida from Brave! Then why is she on my profile photo? I don't have blue eyes or red hair or go around with a bow and arrows. Then why her? The first time I saw the movie, it went way over my head. I had kept waiting [...]

Nothing

I stand at nothing. With no progress In any direction. Still, I hope. There is nothing That I can guarantee about To myself and someone else. Still, I hope.
