I avoid my reflection on a daily basisScared to look at it in places so infamousConfidence seems to be on permanent hiatusI deemed my worth through my facial statusWishing I could become a full-grown animagusBetter than getting pricked by my bedside cactus Running away from the truth, dodging the flowThere was a time I felt…

DreamCatcher
I wonder if a dream catcher will catch my dreamThey had caught my eye in shops, because of their lovely colour schemes I had dreams I wanted to fulfilA field ahead, brimming with daffodils I wanted to pluck them all and take them homeAnd use them to decorate everything, from my bed to comb I…
Lanterns In A Snow Storm Illustration
The night is cold, under this glowing lanternTeeth chattering, hands frozen, in need of a warm tavernFor some reason, I wish to catch a glimpse of Saturn I see light, somewhere farI wonder who those people areSeems like a mirage of a huge bazaar I wish I could walk there, but my feet are tied…
Into Another World
I woke up one night,Sitting in front of an old door, slightly agar.Bright light poured out,Illuminating my whole world, during a blackout.I had the urge to step in and cease it,But I was blinded and in awe.This felt close to an escape because I am trapped in a bear claw. Is the formula for change…
Deep Dive
When I was younger I had a dream,One far away from reality.I absolutely didn't want to be as small as a pea.But wanted to be a whale, swimming in the deep sea.Living my life, floating away,Mesmerized by the humans, waiting for my glimpse, every day.Singing my life away, with someone to loveSimilar to having a…
Game Over?
The day I die, I'll know the answer to this question,I wonder if the life I have lived is just an illusion or a game progression.They call this a game of life, a highly unusual expression.Do you want it to be that way? Even though, I wish I could redo.Its something I never want to…
Jewelled Turtle
Have you ever seen a jewelled turtle?Floating away in the deep water.Lucky it's not a mythological creatureOtherwise, it wouldn't survive the wrath of human nature.Tearing away at its shell,We know, those humans go to hell.Although, this is a speculation but we've been doing this for decades.Killing to make luxury and selling it as item, labelled…
Sea
The sea is vast and hides so much,The deep blue colour hides its true depth, you can't tell as your feet doesn't touchThe surface far down, in the depths of a new realm.It's my dream to explore a new worldBecause it all might soon disappear.There is fighting all around, we are all surrounded by human…
Far Away
If I was born in a cell, would the life outside feel more free?If I was let out of the cell, would everyone let me be?Isn't it better to be locked away rather than being scrutinised by people,Because I wanted to be free of all criticism and fly away like an eagle.But then I grew…
Off Into The Sunset
If I could sit on a balloon and live foreverI will tell myself, I need to go on an endeavour.The roots of my problems seem far away.The beauty of the sunset feels so pure, making me sway.It gives me all the strength to endure.I wanna fly away and not be moulded like potter's clay.I want…
