God's strongest soldier

 They call me God's strongest soldier.

Perhaps because no prayer returns

Only silence, cold and older.


Each grief arrives, another stone,

Until its weight becomes my own;

My ribs forget what light has known.


Still I stand.


Not out of courage.

Not out of pride.

I begged for spring, You sent the tide.

I asked for dawn, You dimmed the sky.

Yet here I am, too worn to fly.


For even ruin, bruised and small,

Has simply never learned to fall.

New year, "New beginnings"

First things first, a big sorry to everyone I hurt last year. I genuinely hope this year I can make more people smile. That said, I’ve never fully understood the idea of a “new beginning” just because it’s a new year. Isn’t every new sunrise a new beginning? If so, why don’t we celebrate that instead? They say the present is called a present because it’s a gift. Something we’re meant to live and enjoy. Yet by January 2nd, life goes back to the same routine. Nothing really changes. We just change the last two digits while writing the date. People carry so much stress and worry, yet still follow silly Instagram trends like eating grapes at midnight , hoping it’ll magically bring them love. Aren’t humans a little funny sometimes? (Yes, I did it too. And yes, I laugh at myself.) My mom always says how you behave on the first day of the year decides how the rest of it will go. That makes me wonder: if we can celebrate and smile so freely on one day, why don’t we try to keep that smile ...

To fly

 I sometimes pretend candies are for kids,  But always wish to have some.  Always show thrillers are my type, But I know how much I fear blood. And never fail to judge childish fantasies, But I keep a secret to fly and soar high. To have wings woven of my dreams , As I touch the clouds and rise, Wings of purple feathers of glitters , Wings wide and warm is what I thrive for. Oh! but I lied that I never flew, I did with Wings of torment and woe ,  Tangled in the mess of my miseries and sorrow, Abandoning my body, deserting my home,  With the Wings I disgust the most ,  Happily, I fly in the sky above.

For you, I would

For you, I would save my last piece, let you warm your cold hands in mine. For you, I would wake before the sun, just to send the first good morning sign. For you, I would share the "equal" slice, yet somehow, yours would always be more. For you, I would trade my window seat, so you could watch the sky and soar. For you, I would wish on every 11:11, dig through jokes just to see you smile. For you, I’d let you pick the movie, even if it means sitting through it twice. For you, I’d swap my lavender for black, pause the drop of my favorite song. For you, I’d fill my notebooks with hearts, missing you when days feel long. For you, I’d change all my passwords, reminding to the day you came. For you, I’d learn every rap verse you love, just to sing along and say your name. For you, I would take the longest way, just to "accidentally" pass you by. For you, I’d write a thousand poems, turn whispers into lullabies. For you, I’d fold love into paper, tiny hearts in every sha...
