Satunnainen teksti

i am lost

could you
be my eyes in the darkness
show me the kindness of myself
all that you see in me
- i don't recognize myself

could you
provide me your tune
to be the signal to tap into
- this radio can't find
any touchable altitude

could i
see you

in a way

the time spent with you
feels like a fever dream
collapsed on itself
like each of us respectfully

maybe this is the time (period)
in this universe
that our sails
take us to different directions
by the same wind

in a way
these cycles always repeat themselves
nor by choice or by death
I'm going to proceed with an embrace

Eating Me

I praise a free life
whilst being scared of leaving
the cage that I call my body

I keep silently greeting my sister
who I've adored and praised all my life
alongside other people who expected her
to shine on this Earth

I should start greeting Myself
shredding the pieces of her
that have been with me for too long
Hopes of someone else
are eating me alive

today

in my ocean there are many ports
ready to launch forgotten ships
from the rays of lonely lanterns

i paint myself again
into the frames
gathering clues as to who i have been
whenever i can

         today i guess i forgot the frame
         now i don't recognize myself
         from the dot to dot puzzle

         my teeth are brushed by someone
         who looks like my sibling

Lost

what if we were leafs
from the same branch
wayfaring in the wind
lost
in the linear time

energy of electricity
branched the proximity
an instant shift in the air
lost
this time to your eyes

Bemory*

even when you start a museum
doesn't mean you're entitled for free visit
after neglecting the upkeep for years

         I learned to make my mind forget
         but my body's memory* always remembers
         and that structure is why I'm still standing

I know you gave me the frame
you never let me forget
but I make the painting
both shape and decorate the frame
and I can make it all without you

         it is time for you both to learn
         that you can not make a frame to be a framework


I disowned my parents when I was 15
