Driven to the dirt, buried, and planted Dropping down, stumbled, hurt, and slanted Lingering in place waiting and pleading Remaining patient 'till that seed grows into a tree

Due to conditions, it will be misleading Whirling around in the saltwater sea Setting for the dream to reach the sky Sitting around waiting every July

Besides the seed is a big tree All around ignoring the plea With birds and bees high above And animals below, in love

With jealousy as thick as weeds Another with achieved dreams Sitting down near the seed Remaining 'till it grows into a tree

I am an adventurous explorer, wandering through my scenery I get lost every so often that my thought is a place of endless wilderness Just when can this constant fear of regret will end? Train of thoughts reeling in the beyond It whispers "good-for-nothing" even if I have everything

The night comes again, and darkness widens its curtains But these thoughts of mine are appearing again "end your own self" it uttered. Once again questioning myself, "Why do you have to go through this life?" I was loved and protected but I wish it was by myself "I wasn't good enough" almost felt like music to my ears


Am I alive? Am I trying to survive? There is definitely a big difference

These crippling thoughts sticks to me As if it is attracted like magnets I was just fifteen at that time Throughout that time pretending I was fine It was unusual How I still smile Despite of it all

BURNOUT


I used to love studying Taking notes, reading materials, and reviewing in general I used to love those Now? I don’t know anymore

Every task feels so tiring Even the simplest requirement drains me I am not excited for what tomorrow brings I feel like a kite - just flowing with the wind

I tried everything I can I used any method just to trick my mind, But in the end, I still can’t escape The feeling of trapness and eternal despair

The darkness that outlines your fear Say it is disguised but also real That captivates a reflection that hears

An empty shadow fulfilling one Made by chapters of whimsical past Drifting away in a slow run

A silhouette still showing its light ‘You have always been seen’, I uttered For it began in the window of my soul
