From you '15 years from now'

What am I looking for, what am I hiding
reunited with my past self, can't help but repent;
did I lose myself or am I still finding,
hoping for my tomorrow just to escape my present.

Masked my troubles with so-called escapisms
denied the truth that was embedded deep within;
thoroughly washed away all my musings,
mastered the art of self-loathin'

Pushed and pulled with a force to reckon
emptied myself into the realms of darkness;
weighed my expectations as a means of life lesson,
heard the pounding of my heart, too scared to witness.

Everything indeed changes, as someone truly said change is the only 'constant'
can I change myself that is the big question, can I truly face myself?
the voices inside keep screaming to join the fragments,
who will tell them that I am not broken but shelved.

I don't need soldering, I need to embrace
my flaws, my mistakes, my regrets, my wants;
The only way to spiral out is to retrace,
to acknowledge the unknown, to evade the haunts.

Avalanche

How does it feel to be loved?
Is it a mere feeling or something more divine
does it even exist in the real world
maybe I wish I had 'that' someone I could call mine.

How does it feel to be desired?
Is it lust or something beyond obsession
can that thirst even be satiated
maybe I just crave that kind of touch.

How does it feel to belong?
is it what people call home
can someone truly find 'the one'
maybe I just want to escape this raging storm.

How can I deny these feelings surfing up
never knew I would wish these upon
never felt this empty, this null
maybe I hope I soon find my own dusk til' dawn.

still alive;

"When I was just a kid they said
Kid don't you cry
I am older now I say
It's alright
Every tear rollin' down
Is a lesson learned
Are you too old to turn
Are you too young to burn?" - Sonny & the Sunsets

I'm present in the moment, not in "THE PRESENT"
I say I'm fine but to whom am I lying
can I feel the pain, can I escape "THE TORMENT"
I ask someone to see if I'm broken inside, but I myself keep denying.
No matter how much I try, I'm forced to defy
the truths, the lies, the reality, the illusion.
Running, escaping, fighting the demons I held inside
drowning in the worst of me, driving the darkness behind;
Shattering and crashing through these times
crying and ripping my heart out days and nights
will never run dry cuz gotta SURVIVE.

Soul's cry

We all have demons inside of us, but are we all monsters?
Is it all a lie or a facade we live in, 
Can I escape this hell; that's all my mind wonders
just a breath apart until I give in.

Holding on to the truth I want to believe,
taking for granted everything I've ever owned;
Demanding the chaos to disrupt my peace
Challenging my soul to question every belief I've ever known.

I don't know when I fell into this oblivion,
Crawling my way blindly through the abyss;
Never meant to use my heart as a weapon of obsidian
guarding itself from all the moments of bliss.

It's not a sob story nor am I suicidal
it's a letter heart to heart, to everyone who fears;
To whomsoever it may concern, it's just a trial
waiting for a verdict to be rendered.

Unresolved Echoes

What a surreal feeling, diving into one's murk
never realized that it comes at a cost
'your actions will have consequences' 
Heard so often, yet never pondered
these thoughts and feelings ache my heart
that I could feel my mind burn
what a montage I have built
reimbursing the tax on demand
paying my dues for what I have done
Regret, guilt, and remorse are my peers
pulling me into a deep dive
'will it be okay', roaming my mind
will my 'will' ever be mine
I wonder...

Too Young

Aren't I too young to burn,
here I am again, waiting for my turn.
Never knew this is what it meant,
trying hard not to let my faith bend.

Can't life be easy, like swift waves in motion,
tired of keeping my head high even in this commotion.
Shielding myself every step of the way,
I gazed upon the moon, its pallor in dismay.

A plethora of concerns, too much to endure,
Now, even caring seems like an arduous lure.
This ceaseless burden weighs heavy, never-ending,
how much my heart could take after every mending

Awaiting moments to transform into memories,
as only they possess the essence of eternity.
well! unnoticed by those around, I strain,
A human, I hear my own heart's wrenching pain.

Please just let it be, exhausted of laying fronts,
My fragments possess finite bounds
mindlessly yearning for someone to comprehend my lore,
I hope I never encounter the threshold, where mending exists no more.

Prologue

Felt this uneasy tide of disdain
the world around me seems too mundane
eyes have lost the shine
lost the path I never knew was mine
this seems like a never-ending dream
heard an encroaching scream 
uneasy rhythm oozing from these pores 
saw a reaching hand, but it was all too blurry
salt brimming the eyes, my lies swallowing me inside
never heard the pounding so high
looked up my vision, all to my dismay
there stood a girl too scared to witness
all these secrets too heavy to bear
these scratches stand in valor
showing the darkest of nights
still hoping for something that might...

sobering

Can I ever breathe again 
or do I have to drown in the worst of me?
countless loose ends swirling in my head
darkness has overshadowed the trough within

days have gone by, turning into mist
heaved my sorrows like a wind 
the smile and the shine are asking for a tryst
but my skin has worn a mask so unkind

waiting to be heard, to get out there
hauling my spirits to breakthrough
marching my thoughts to untangle this web
denying myself to souvenir this rue

"it's okay to be a little lost"
keeping this memoir as a train of thought
misery is a bane at thy cost
turn the tide to release this knot.

OR

Is it destined OR is it planned
Is it in the stars OR is it in the palm of our hands
do we have control OR are we puppets
can I ask for a choice OR are my decisions taken
am I capable OR am I just afraid
are my paths designed OR is it a maze
can I take a chance OR do I have to move on
shouldn't I've figured it out OR will it take forever
maybe now OR never.
