Fray

Is silence golden or awkward?
     Can we ever just live,
          live free of societies queue?
Is noise comfort or cover-up?
     Can we ever be content,
          content with what is given to us?
Is love imbue or burdensome?
     Can I ever let the love you bestow,
          bestow unto me the chance is deserves?
          

{Fool}

I’m not a circus girl
but feel like the clown
in a juggling act
I’m not an angel
but that doesn’t stop me
from wanting to save you
I’m not a player
but I still feel responsible
for losing the game
yet I am the fool for ever hurting you

{Starless Sky}

I am searching for the replies
to all my open-ended inquiries      in the starless sky
& on this night when the world
seems to be void of all color
     I am filled with a luscious
contortion of confusion & bliss
               Ah! but among this blurry whirl of bewilderment
is a silent simplicity that cannot be described
as peaceful nor hostile
‘tis just is


‘tis
     just
          is

{Shield}

& on this night I am left without armor
for you dragged my guard down
as you lift my spirit to the clouds

in that moment, your touch ignited an explosion of memory
do you remember the feeling of my head on your chest?
I bite my tongue-
the very tongue that you kissed
-& held back the words I still long to say
my greatest regret

{Believe}

soon, I will be leaving you
& you still won’t believe in me

our words will forever go unspoken
yet you are still the rightful owner for every piece of my shattered heart

{Tiny Voices}

I’ll steal a few thousand seconds
& I’ll thieve a few hundred minutes
because I can’t seem to find free time anymore

maybe I will take the role of Robin Hood
& robsome hours from the people who are wasting away
then grant them to the people who can use some time to waste

& to the people who live in tight corners
I’ll give them some living room
because we all need a little space to live

& to those who are in pain
I will shrink myself, & go deep in their heart
because sometimes we all need a cure

let children blow you away
with their simple wisdom
as their tiny voices carry you away

allow your guard to fall
& permit the youngest youth
to show you the world through their eyes

we can all find the time we need in the hearts
& in the eyes
of the children with the tiny voices
