Cuts people don't see
In crowded rooms, I wander free,
A sea of faces pass me by,
Yet, I'm alone, lost at sea,
My soul drowning, unable to deny.
I grasp for relief, a fleeting reprieve,
With every cut, a scream I try to leave,
But like autumn leaves, emotions fall away,
And I'm left with nothing but disarray.
Seasons change, and I wear a grin,
A mask that hides the emptiness within,
The laughter echoes, hollow and unkind,
Longing for feelings I've left behind.
I call out to a higher power above,
Praying for solace, for endless love,...
A sea of faces pass me by,
Yet, I'm alone, lost at sea,
My soul drowning, unable to deny.

With every cut, a scream I try to leave,
But like autumn leaves, emotions fall away,
And I'm left with nothing but disarray.
Seasons change, and I wear a grin,
A mask that hides the emptiness within,
The laughter echoes, hollow and unkind,
Longing for feelings I've left behind.
I call out to a higher power above,
Praying for solace, for endless love,...

My Voice
I saw that a YouTube comment of mine got deleted, whether the creator deleted it or YouTube itself did. I feel myself shaking. Out of fear. I am safe right now in the sense that no one's harming me physically. But in terms of actually thinking my voice matters, no.
I do not feel safe.
I am always questioning whether my story will be too much, be too inconvenient, be too dark...
But I just rather think about me and how to crawl out of the darkness of all these lies.
How to prepare myself because it will be my turn,
and the audience will be...

Paramaribo
In Paramaribo
I met a girl, half Indian and beautiful
there was a big church and a castle
to defend Dutch interest
A hot and swampy place, which I liked
coming from Norway, a cold country
with a poor working- class who sent
their sons to join the merchant marine
The housing estate in Paramaribo
consisted, mostly of shacks, among
romantic palms
Had I married the girl and settled
I would have been a beneficiary of
the promised oil wealth
As it is, as a Norwegian, I get a pension
so mean, I have to live in...

Feelings that I hide
I feel my skin burning with the fire of your gaze
Every time you look at me, I'm lost in a daze
I can't breathe, my chest tightens with desire
But I know I have to hide it, pretend I'm not on fire
I want to vanish from your sight, disappear without a trace
I don a mask to hide my true feelings, to save face
I can't bear to show you the wounds you've inflicted
The scars you've left with your harsh words, so conflicted
You don't see the pain you've caused, the damage done
You only see what you want to see, not the hurt I've spun
I...

Lies
I tried to move past the lies you left in your stay
But they lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away
You promised me forever, but it was all just a game
Leaving me stranded in a sea of heartache and pain
I thought I could forget you, erase you from my heart
But your memory haunts me, tearing me apart
I tried to bury the love we once shared
But it resurfaces, leaving me ensnared
I left knowing I would never love again
Wounded by your deceit, my heart filled with disdain
I thought I could find solace in a new embrace
But your...
But they lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away

But your memory haunts me, tearing me apart
I tried to bury the love we once shared
But it resurfaces, leaving me ensnared
I left knowing I would never love again
Wounded by your deceit, my heart filled with disdain
I thought I could find solace in a new embrace

Beneath it all there was just one feeling
In the shadow of a fading day,
Where whispers linger, lost in the fray,
I gather fragments, pieces of light,
Searching for meaning in the heart of the night.
Ghosts of laughter echo through trees,
The wind carries secrets, a gentle tease,
Yet silence, a shroud, holds tight to my breath,
As I dance with the specters of love and of death.
Beneath the surface where colors drain,
I walk through memories, both joy and pain,
A tether to moments that slip through my hands,
Like grains of soft sand on...
Where whispers linger, lost in the fray,
I gather fragments, pieces of light,
Searching for meaning in the heart of the night.
Ghosts of laughter echo through trees,
The wind carries secrets, a gentle tease,
Yet silence, a shroud, holds tight to my breath,
As I dance with the specters of love and of death.
Beneath the surface where colors drain,
I walk through memories, both joy and pain,
A tether to moments that slip through my hands,
Like grains of soft sand on...

changing myself
In a crowd where no one sees,
I stand beneath the weight of stares,
Like a shadow in a gallery,
A canvas painted with their fears.
A heart, vibrant but hidden deep,
Layered beneath the surface bright,
Knowing the echoes that cut and seep,
Through the silence of a lonely night.
I wear a mask of smiles and jest,
Laughing off the pain I feel,
Risking trust, a daily test,
In a world where wounds remain concealed.
I bend my soul to fit their mold,
Changing colors to blend in line, ...
I stand beneath the weight of stares,

A heart, vibrant but hidden deep,
Layered beneath the surface bright,

Through the silence of a lonely night.
I wear a mask of smiles and jest,
Laughing off the pain I feel,
Risking trust, a daily test,
In a world where wounds remain concealed.

Put Out the Fire
my life with you
hopelessly
embroiled in
affairs of heart
words enflame sorrow
screaming from bell jars
deafened through routine
our survival strategy
denies you me us

Tell Me A Story
Tell me a story ...
Of how people stay,
Not how they leave.
Tell me a story ...
Of a beautiful world,
Not the ugly one I see.
Tell me a story ..
Of hope,
Not despair.
Tell me a story ...
Of justice and kindness.
Tell me a story ...
Of how everything
works out in the end.
Tell me a story ...
With a happy ending .
Tell me everything will be okay.
Tell me a story ...
Of how much I'm loved.
Tell me that I matter.
Of how people stay,
Not how they leave.
Tell me a story ...
Of a beautiful world,
Not the ugly one I see.
Tell me a story ..
Of hope,
Not despair.
Tell me a story ...
Of justice and kindness.
Tell me a story ...
Of how everything
works out in the end.
Tell me a story ...
With a happy ending .
Tell me everything will be okay.
Tell me a story ...
Of how much I'm loved.
Tell me that I matter.

Lost in the Dark
Why does no one talk about how hard it is to heal,
When your comfort is in the pain, where nothing else feels real?
I’ve been drowning in this darkness since I was just a kid,
I don’t know who I am without it—don’t know if I ever did.
Who am I without the weight, without the scars,
Without the demons that held me in their arms?
I don’t know how to be happy, don’t know how to breathe,
When the only air I’ve ever known has been suffocating me.
I’ve lived in hell so long, it feels like home,
And the idea of healing makes me...
When your comfort is in the pain, where nothing else feels real?
I’ve been drowning in this darkness since I was just a kid,
I don’t know who I am without it—don’t know if I ever did.
Who am I without the weight, without the scars,
Without the demons that held me in their arms?
I don’t know how to be happy, don’t know how to breathe,
When the only air I’ve ever known has been suffocating me.
I’ve lived in hell so long, it feels like home,
And the idea of healing makes me...

the childless future
The childless future
The modern way of living has made us soft
we forget life is a struggle to survive
when we are safe and have reached the
top of the pyramid, the long view that is
short and has in its grasp emptiness
with no more mountains to climb, we
sink into apathy because we have it all
and having it all leads to depression
near is no freedom in modern life
every moment is regulated into sections
when to work, rest, and pay bills
women have left their function of looking
after giving birth to a new human ...

Nobody, Nothing, Nowhere
He walks down the street at night
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She
takes his hand
missing the pinkie and several more
“Look for truth and there you’ll see
the missing half of what you’re meant to be.”
I will never be what I could have been
praying to a god who only sees my sins
she says she loves me and sticks the needle into my neck
My words pouring out my mouth like black vomit
to feed my new obsession
She
