whatever i do

i can't cram this into the

thick skull of mine

my head is throbbing

i cant process anything

do i fight or flight

just need someone to

tell me that everything will

work out in the end

yeah they put up a

mock show of caring though they

want me to shut up

muscles tensing up

just want to roar and scream but

that wont help a thing

i think ill just go

to my bed and hopefully

everything will be-

fine.

Do you remember when we were free?

We pranced around on the velvety grass

Dozed under the great birch tree

Enjoying the breeze as we did a little dance

Long ago, we were unbound

Without a care in the world

Together we visited playgrounds all around

On the roundabout we used to twirl!

But then we reminisced about those days

Staring down at our answer scripts in distaste

We once didn’t have to worry about 1000-word essays

Can’t help but feel it was such a waste

We thought adulthood meant we’d be free

But after growing up we could both safely say:

’Adulthood really isn’t my cup of tea

All I look forward to is my payday...′

But as the sun set “we” became “I”

Why hadn’t I talked more to you...

When did all my plans go awry

My sorrow and anguish grew and grew

-

‘grew and grew’

i wish we didn’t, though.

weren’t we supposed to stay young forever?

A

tranquil,

serene stream

Soothing us

on our

bad

days

every drop

improving our

self-esteems

Once upon a time I took your hand

And we cavorted in our peaceful dreamland

We waltzed together arm in arm

Captivated by each others’ grace and charm

Romping together till the end of time

Your gracefulness was simply sublime

We left our cares and worries behind

Your soft touch gave me a peace of mind

Under the night sky we gambolled in delight

As we admired the beautiful twilight

We lifted our gazes to the brilliant hue above

Our hearts filling with warmth and love

:)

tired of trying.

to conquer the sea was

a goal long ago

now a mere wish

futile attempts

you once gritted your teeth

with a firm resolve

you believed you could fly

but instead you

plummeted down below

time and time again

everyone else above

glided

higher

and higher

while you dwelled in the

fathomless

depths

of the

ocean

forever

and ever...

and ever.

-

sick of crying.

failure

time and time

again

hopeless

worthless

hot salty stinging tears

but what does it matter?

in the great vast sea

what do you matter?

get a grip!

on a rock

last hope, but once again

tumbling down below

unattainable, indeed.

as a cry escapes

exhale

water gushing in

becoming limp

its the end.

-

but im smiling!

i’m floating up

ascending

breaking the shimmering sparkling surface

alas,

sweet oxygen!

gulp

finally, fuel

wings start to sprout

could this be it?

finally taking flight

in sheer delight

thinking of another breeze

what a wonderful sight

flying floating fluttering flitting

among the others...

or rather

soaring higher!
