Worry about life,
it worries not for me.
These things I carry,
so worrisome.
A test this week,
two essays the next.
Homework! do not forget,
Try and do your best.
Books and paper
and pencils
and pens
weigh me down
down
Yet the anchor,
sinking me,
my mind,
my heart,
down,
are those,
things,
simple, complex,
little things,
called emotions.
Worry:
will my grandma make it?
what about my mom?
my aunt and uncle driving crazy,
like ants over bodies.
My father and brother,
work, work, work, work,
My dog,
alone, alone, alone, alone.
My friends,
are they alright?
My dearest one,
so loooong I haven't seen
her.

The Three Doors
The man awoke to a blinding light, scourging his eyes until the man was forced to keep them closed for a substantial amount of time. His mind raced, wondering where he was that there would be such a potent light. A police station maybe? He didn’t hear any muttering or voices. In fact, there was no sound at all. The man regained strength in his eyes and opened them once more, prepared for the blinding light. He squinted, waiting for the light to subside, and it did, slowly. He tried his best to search his surrounding, but he could not make out much. Then, towards the back, appeared the silhouette of a man.

lost, not found
I find myself
defying deaf noises
screaming voiceless cries
thinking thoughts of naught.
happy,
has dropped its “why”
leaving me
lost in a forsaken wasteland
smiles have turned
upside down
the fire I touch
burns like ice.
I wander
in my memories
and dreams.
hopes have turned
to ash
when I reach to collect them,
revive them
they slip through my fingers
burying themselves
in the world’s earthly tomb.
I find myself
searching for answers
only finding
more questions,
more doubts
I seek guidance,
a path.
yet I find before my feet
no roads to lead me there
where do I go now?

Literature
longing the lost
you can’t hear my cries
my wailing in the corner
every lonely moment
i think of what
we used to be
the snarky remarks
the annoying gestures
the constant teasing
our wonderful bond
i cry for those moments,
that seem so long ago
at a time when
i thought
things got better
i guess
i was young
you may have forgotten
but i haven’t
those moments of laughter
and joy
and friendship
even though we hadn’t met
i felt i knew you
and you knew me
there was harmony
in our words
going step and stone
together
i long for these moments again,
i long for them so much
i’m so lonely
i scour old messages
to make me feel wanted
to remem
