I Am

I am the rage, wearing burdens like armor,
A fortress of anger, a shield of old trauma,
Each dent and each scar, a story retold,
Of battles fought fiercely and hearts grown cold.

I am the hurricane tearing through the town,
The tempest that rages, bringing it all down,
Each gust a reminder of words left unspoken,
Of trust that was shattered, of promises broken.

I am the thunder that rumbles with force,
An unyielding current, a wild, raging course,
The storm clouds above, heavy with hate,
Churning and twisting in an unending fate.

To trade heavy burdens for wings of light,
To find solace in shadows, to soften the fight,
I am the rage, yes, but I yearn to transform,
Into a river that flows, into a heart that is warm.

So I summon the strength to unshackle the past,
Embrace the soft turbulence, let go of the harrassed,
For even in fury, there lies a sweet grace,
As rage gives way to love in its final place.

I miss you

The phantom of you lingers, a ghost in the hall,
A memory's echo, answering freedom's fall. 
I loved who you used to be, a sun in the sky,
before the clouds gathered, and the bright colors died.
The laughter you shared, a shard of glass now, 
cutting through silence, a forgotten vow. 
Your eyes, once ablaze, now hold a cold fire, 
consumed by shadows, a fading desire.
The hand I once held, now clenched in a fist, 
a fortress of sorrow, forever dismissed. 
The warmth of your touch, a forgotten embrace, 
replaced by the chill of an unyielding space.
The ghost of your smile, a cruel, mocking jest, 
haunts the empty chambers, putting my soul to the test. 
I loved who you used to be, a truth I can't hide, 
but that person is somewhere hidden deep inside.

Ghost

In a room full of faces, I wear a disguise,
A smile that conceals the pain in my eyes.
I’ve never been chosen, always left behind,
My burdened heart whispers secrets unkind.
A wound deep and jagged, sadness so cruel,
Sharp as a knife, a merciless tool,
A room full of people, yet I feel so alone,
Invisible walls, my sanctuary, my home.
Their laughter and excitement is just background noise
To the symphony of pain, played by my own voice.
In this crowd, I'm just a ghost, a forgotten tale,
My heart drifts like a ship in a stormy gale,
So, I'll wear my mask, and hide my sorrow,
In this endless night, chasing tomorrow.
For as long as I breathe, I'll bear this curse,
This heavy burden, I cannot rehearse. 
A weight upon my heart, a constant ache, 
A solitary journey, no mistake.
I’d rather be solitary than trust love that’s fake.

Drown

Sinking, lost, into the dark blue
Unknown abyss rises, without a clue
Panic rising, heart is pounding
Terror reigning, no sounding

Gasping, choking, lungs burn to ashes
Waves crash down, throat closes in dashes
Bathed in green despair, sinking blind
No longer here, a watery shrine

Fading slow, I let it all go
A final farewell, as my life ebbs low
Drowning feeling, a last release
In the sea, is where I rest in peace
