THE OTHER SIDE
theirs this wall made of iron and steal blocking me of the far near I'm no brave man to climb all for I fear the fall Lost, I always seem to walk around its edges What is behind, I ask myself too many times maybe a gleamy forest withholding lilly fields but in my mind it's dark full of starving wolves that lurk curiosity is a sin, I need a redeemer some say it is liberating to be a dreamer but is the freedom worth the injury?
— But… the sensation that I’ve lost something lingers for a long time after I wake up. YOUR NAME (2016) dir. Makoto Shinkai
I stare at the vanity
Yet, My eyes aren't looking
All that is there for me to see is a figure
It blurs and blurs I still cannot figure
No shape, no form
I must reform
How? It’s said souls flow into creeks
Taking the shape they please
But I cannot fit into a mold
I have no definition
Nothing worthy of attention
Maybe this is how it’s meant to be
floating around with no destiny
I'll do that for eternity
I'll latch into what I find in front of me
Till one day it tells me it needs me
I don't know who I am
But maybe that's fate
For I aspire to elate within everything
Nothing in this world and its luxuries
Can limit me
I simply am free.

idealism is a disease
the letter
Day-Dream
Attack on titian
Truth untold
A little boat at the sea
a tall child
The other side
no shape, no form.

Eating toast for dinner instead of cooking is better than not eating anything at all.
Using mouthwash instead of brushing your teeth is better than not taking care of your teeth at all.
Wiping yourself with a damp cloth or baby wipe instead of showering is better than not bathing at all.
Doing only one out of five assignments you need to turn in is better than not submitting anything at all.
Talking to a loved one on the phone is better than not talking to anyone at all.
Playing your favorite video game, listening to good music, or reading a book instead of "grinding" is better than not doing anything at all.
Don't beat yourself up for not being "productive enough". A little productivity is still productivity.
Idealism is a disease
Once it enters your system it feeds off of your mistakes
It spreads like a wildfire making you quake
Symptom after symptom you start to hallucinate
A thought becomes a reality
There’s no real definition of actuality
All you can do is live in brutality
And endure that cruelty
There’s no one to blame but that little voice in your head
Making you wish on sweet death
Whispering to you as if it was your own closest friend
The doctors say there’s a cure
One that’s pure
But there’s a price
First you have to apologize
To the body you forced to idealize
A vulnerable state of you past mistakes
Drowning you in a lake
The water reflects an image of grief and regret
As it overwhelms you slowly you start to forget
A cold breeze of acceptance washes all over you
A warm feeling is new
A smile takes over you
Now you are cured.
this poem speaks about my struggles with anxiety and perfectionism. I hope you find a sense of comfort in it
I LOVE YOU SM JOUD, YOU'RE SO CUTE

I never did
Change: A process through which something becomes different
With growth comes along change
I grew, yet I remain the same.
Maybe it’s the nostalgia evoking me, an attachment grasping me in what seems to be the past
‘’move on’’ How can I leave what tended to structure me?
In a manner I am an adult, yet a sense of maturity is still to be held
I’m taller!, I’ve grown! Somehow a child reminisces within me, a child which Iv not abandoned, he isn’t what I used to be, he is what I am, maybe not fully but an essence still floats within me, and I carry it wherever I go.
You're the sun, you've never seen the night But you hear its song from the morning birds Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds- Mitski ‘’Your Best American Girl’‘
