Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing

What attracts you while broken, will disgust you when you heal.

I’m a canvas in motion—painted by storms, kissed by sunlight. I will not be the yellow of another’s sun or the blue of their sky; I will twist through every hue until I find the colour that is mine alone.

The Mask Must Stay

They keep telling me

this is not my place

that someday,

I will have to leave.

So maybe it’s fair

to stop calling it mine.

It never belonged to me.

I need to let go

of these quiet, aching attachments

that feel so

unnecessary.

Because my comfort zone

stands on their shoulders,

and if I ever want to tear it down

I have to let them go.

I probably need

to stop calling them family.

Just strangers now,

strangers I owe only

respectful words,

nothing more.

As a kid,

I thought the mask

was something I had to hold.

Because that is what,

I was taught and told.

But now,

I wonder

if the mask

was the real thing all along.

Somethings just never grow old,

A smile stiched in silence,

Seeing all the violence.

A childhood of pretending,

I guess that wasn't the ending.

I took detour into feeling,

Without the mask,

I was healing.

But now it must be worn again.

It must not come off—

not anymore.

Sometimes, it’s just

better

to stay that way.

I don’t need to be understood.

I thought, I did

But not anymore.

Maybe it’s better

if they let me be.

Because the mask—

it’s all they'll ever

see.

They must never get the chance

to see through

this soul.

Not even once.

Not because

they don’t deserve to,

but because

they wouldn’t

like my nerve.

The mask.

The face.

The smile,

the grace.

You must embrace—

what keeps you safe.

Nevermind

[blabbershere]

[blabbershere]

Dreams are fragile,

they shimmer, they crack.

Goals are grounded,

they keep you on track.

Is being melancholic a sin?

It's not like I'm spreading my melancholy, I just want you to let me be. My way of feeling is expressing my sadness, so what? How am I wrong?

— Melancholy

[blabbershere]

The world will tell you that it's idiotic to be an optimist, but be an optimist towards fulfilling your purpose. Be delusional enough to think after all the disappointed people, you can do it. If you don't win, you've just gotta do it again and again. It's gonna come to you easier and easier every time.
