Lemons and Limes
I don't favour lemons over limes
Both give me a sour aftertaste
Even if I'd rather drink lemonade
Both taste similar either way
One is green, one is yellow
Yet appear exactly the same
But standing away from the crowd
I find another, just preferring one over the other
Miraculously, we agree that they're not exactly like eachother
We're friends of different taste
Like lemons and limes

Brownies and Bacon
Bacon and Brownies
Chocolate and grease
Savory and sweet
Favory and-
Affliction
The way today the brownies were sliced
The way today the bacon was cooked
I taste salty and bitter from the tips of fingers
For whoever created this tradegy
Had drained a program of strict strategy
And let their worries, concerns, malacies
Trickle into beloved sugar and spice
Ensuring the atmosphere has lost
Anything nice

Stay, and sit
Someday our past will blend indistinguishably
With the present months of 'quarantine'
There'll be no way to leave this rough path
In which a glacier has carved our future
We can't stop growing and waiting
for normal to come back
It's gone, it's dead
The bus wont ever arrive to your bench
It's out of order, my friend...

Money
In this world, money bends rules
Money makes people blind
But it does not change morality
They know what shouldve been done
They know that they did wrong
Which makes money finally mortal
Sitting below our greed
Is a volcano waiting to errupt
Humanity waiting to object
Our morality untouched by green
It only works so long against
The calus of a beating heart

Just oppurtunities for creativity.
There's more beauty in the improvised amd unexcpected."

If a trees falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear, does it still make noise?
No where
Strike of lightning
In an abandoned field
Setting it on fire
On paper, fate sealed
But running amongst it's flames
The rain from this storm
Your feet get muddy
And you're suddenly warm
Where you even came from
Wouldnt matter for all the stars
Just water and fire
Stretching near and far
Consuming the sky
Breaking all lies
A bundle of chaos
Where no soul might spy

I think I'll be alone forever, and no children can change my mind. Those are for stability, and happiness, but not to fill a hole where a heart should be. I am a fool to watch normal people and think and hope to be them. As pathetic as I am, my little opinions and masks dont remain in the dark. I cannot lie to myself. Someday I'll stand somewhere, look out to the sky, and realize how lonely I am. That won't change.
If i got married or had children, I'm still alone with my heart. Alone no matter the place.
Time, scenario. Point is, I will not lie. I wont try to fit a square into a circle, and be a picture that strangers admire to try amd make up for it.
I'm smaller, not missing parts. Lopsided and strange. I'll find content in myself.

The humans no greater than us
Only hold the power we give them
Unless we can control that
We fall under a false sense of security
Just enough space to move around
And think we can choose, that we DO
Meanwhile we had thought it ended
But how can the biggest battle
Of your existence
Be as simple as asking for it?
When we are eating out of their hands
You'll know when the roof has fallen
That being, if the walls crumble with it
Reducing all to rumble and ash
Back to dust to start again

An untitled haiku poem
Even if we can't
Touch the sky, we will taste the
Sweet rain and rainbow.

TEENAGE YEARS♀️
TEENAGE,A phase burstling with EMOTIONS
We never stop learning how to MANAGE RELATIONS
All physical changes, a MOOD SWING per second.
Sleepless nights, Irritating society, LIFE gets THREATENED
LIVE, LOVE,LAUGH is what world recommend
A PAINFUL LOVELY SMILE, remains in trend...
While learning and understanding right✔or wrong ❌
We face traumas, making character strong
These years gradually pass,we remain unaware
People around PRETEND or do they really CARE??...
Doing work by ourselves,We are grown up
But staying out at night, we are a child
Going out at our own, we are grown up
But watching late night movies, not so strong and wild...
At times we remain careless, mature or sensible
Either child or an adult, we are ourselves responsible
No matter what we BEAR,We must go through this phase
To become an ADULT, these are challenges,we have to face..

I love this brown skin
That I exist in
But I love the soul more
Which allows me to soar.
I'm only passing by
In this fleshly life
From my home beyond the sky
Where my treasures lie.
Do you see who I truly am inside?
In the place that I cannot hide?
Through what may cloak my essence
But not my pride.
Past this skin
Who I am within.
Do you hate the color
Of any other?
Detest their existence
And seek to smother?
Take their air
And refuse to share,
Hate in the place
Where there should be care.
Who is left
When you only care for self?
For those that look like you
Will you forsake all that is true?
Turn your back on what is just
And proclaim yourself to be righteous.
Sad souls who can't see beyond the skin
Allow themselves to be enveloped by sin,
Don't remain weak-minded until your life is through
There is still potential for all the good you can do.
Through God we can wake a dream
Mine for you is to be redeemed.
