Irreversible

i woke up from a jolt i never felt before

...wait i remembered reaching for something

...

what was it?

i recalled struggling as if i am reaching for it badly
is it my mom? grandmother? grandfather?

argh! swifting shadows, lights flickered

or am i seeking time, hoping to travel back like a time machine

motion speed increased, heart rate accelerated

that loud piercing noise!
like millions of needles sting into my flesh

please...stop...stop it!

came a gush on wind,
it slammed, swirled into the terrifying noise
bam!

...

i could still hear the wind howl from a distance

that noise; faltered and stopped



silence.



i woke up from a jolt i never felt before

Laughing Toes

hello
goodbye!
think its the ending?
ha ha
toes are laughing
why,
its only the beginning
to live with-in
and
suck up to
that joke;
it's life we're talking about

*snaps fingers*

what is there to start when it's already broken?
what's left for me and you, are just pieces of debris
and soon enough, it'll be empty (empty...)
like the capacity the human heart is able to carry
not one, not two, nor three
but the unconditional love people are giving me

when you came in
it was sweet and lovely dovey
then love turns its back on us and it became shaky
i held strong but you went weak and wobbly
weeped and told me that you're sorry

sorry? about what wrong you did to thee?
that you're unable to see?
that your love's for me, not she?
you shut your ears and other 4 senses
ran for your life, dodged for defences
left me stranded without knowing what happened

now you're back asking for forgiveness
and making me go through all these madness?
again, again as the carousel goes
round and round, drugs overdosed

wham! im not as weak as again
shut my eyes and 4 senses
walk away from you, with strength for defences
you're a has been
not any he, she, it,
and hello it's me,
yeong yours truly.

Ever

X Missy Elliot - For My People

ever
will someone ever hear my cries?
the grief and pain i feel inside
taking my happiness away like wind and sand
leaving me alone to bleed and tear

will they ever hear my voice?
of every single word of truth and lie
they'd only deny
and leave me bleed a river to die

will they hear my song?
where love and trust embrace in arms
people dancing, singing songs
hopes and dreams soon come along

will they ever learn to hear
my cries, my songs, my voice so clear
will they ever learn to bear
the grief, the pain, the denial remain

why cant we live life the way we want it to be?
appreciate the beauty of the good and the ugly?
