Underwater

i have my eyes closed,
and the painful weight on my shoulders 
begins to feel numb.
i don't know if i'm lost in an ocean
or a swimming pool.
the pressure in my head keeps me awake,
i'm breathing just fine.
i don't know when it started 
to fill water around me.
all my senses are there 
but my body is distance.
i guess there is a leak in my body,
i'm slowly filled with water,
will i drown or fade into it?

Knock Knock

“is suicide not the answer?
as people are in pain,
known or unknown by the world.
do they not have the right to get a little bit of silence ?
if they suffer so much why do u want them to keep hurting.
demons bigger than the Eiffel tower 
and thoughts heavier than buildings.
do you think they didn’t thought about every possible answer.
do you think they wanted to kill themselves.
Suicide is not a sin.
It’s not something to romanticise.
It’s not a fault.
As you are hurting and calling for help,
while the world let you on read,
death answers in silence.
don’t think they did it to hurt u,
they did it to stop the pain.
the invisible pain that no one sees,
so every one ignores it.”

Empty Twenty

i'm still sitting in swimming pools,
they're empty now.
am i an adult now?
barely even twenty,
now i'm confused somehow.
got my life in front of me
but am i willing to do so?
will i reach the high
when i come from down below?
they're watching us,
like we're some kind of
experiment.
scolding us out by any mistakes,
and they wonder why we don't scream
by excitement.
the youth is drowning 
and the elders are describing the water.

Nameless Poem

tell me is this a sweet life,
are we doing this right?
lately i've been losing sleep,
constantly overthinking at night,
looks like i'm in too deep.
i'm just living through sugar coated lies.
friends turn into strangers with 
faded faces,
conversations getting tiresome.
i don't recognize familiar places,
where again do i come from?

I'M Not Drifting Away I'M Sinking

"i've been too many days too far away,
and i can't change the fact
that i'm the same as usual.
like the old days, 
i still tumble over my words.
i'm still the same,
i didn't change as much as i thought i did.
i play all my cards and throw a tantrum when i lose.
my feet are sinking more and more
but help is the last thing that i want now.
i'm scared of drowning completely
and i'm scared of being freed.
i'm at a dead end with no conclusion of what comes next."

Atlas

"we're wasting our youth 
with sins who are older than us.
we don't talk anymore,
we're to busy standing in rain,
waiting for hurricanes.
there is not just one 
who is holding up the heavens.
over years youth been burdened,
we've been born with bad luck.
we walk through this 
because the weight on our shoulders will be heavy anyway.
if you can hold up the heavens,
hell will be a child's play."

People

"people are pain,
they spill gasoline over you
and set you on fire with their touch.
leaving piles of ashes everywhere
and the smell of burned skin.
they're saying they love with a heart
but they're thinking without a head.
we burn them,
they burn us,
it is an endless circle.
people are pain,
i guess it's human nature."

Time

seconds,
minutes,
hours,
days,
months,
years.
i'm scared to fall asleep,
because what if i miss my years
while i fall asleep for seconds.
is time just a concept?
if so, why do we need it so much?
If time is so important
then why do we lose it? 
can't i just live without the passing time,
without the anxious feeling
of a threatening life?

Phoenix

with bruised knuckles 
and a headache,
losing sleep over 
meaningless things.
holding my breath like
i'm underwater,
trying to remember 
all of my sins.
couldn't find a solution
other than,
to set myself on fire,
letting me burn to ashes,
so i will like a 
phoenix
rise again.

Sorry I Guess

the words left bigger 
from my mouth than i thought.
but still you hate it when i choose not to talk.
did i hurt you with what i've said
or is my silence cutting you in pieces?
i know how they effect you,
you probably hate every word
that has left my mouth.
but still you want to be near me,
that will never be clear to me.
