Why is there a beating heart
In my caging broken chest?
Why do I feel so much
So much that it aches?
I pin my hopeless expectations
To a sinking reality;
One I chase in my fantasies.
Because, no matter how strong I am,
For the first time in my life
I just wanted to be held with love
And acceptance in arms
That’ll never be mine.

We begin each day, knowing for certain some things will happen
But that certainty is also uncertain
We sleep, assuming we’ll get up again
We go out, assuming we’ll be back home again
We end conversations, taking for granted that we will have another soon
We click pictures, delete moments captured otherwise, because they weren’t good enough
We go through the motions, thinking
Tomorrow we’ll do it correct, tomorrow we’ll change
But what if you never live to see that tomorrow
And you get reduced to a memory of regret and missed chances
We are all drowning in the sea of uncertainty
All that you have
Is this moment, right now
Don’t let it waste
Seize the day, my friend
Let each breath count
Let each day be better than the last
Let yourself burn with passion
And leave the traces of burden behind
Unshackle yourself from memories of the past
Free yourself from expectation and worry
Live this day like your first
Live it like your last
Carpe Diem, my friend
Carpe Diem!

Do you know, how painful it is
To be cut a thousand times
And sewn together a thousand times
Only to be cut again
By the same knife?
Do you know what it feels
To not bleed from scars
But to kiss them
Alone, in the dark?
Do you know how difficult it is
To not blame everything on myself
And hate myself so much
So much, I think I almost deserve the pain?
Do you know the taste of defeat
That comes from losing to
Your mind and dreams,
The horrors that stay within?
Do you know about those voices
That won’t stop whispering
Your deepest fears to you
In broad daylight and dusk?
Do you know what it is like
To live in my mind
With all this love and memories;
Caged, screaming, begging to be free?
Do you feel this void
Breathing in your chest
Expanding to your limbs and hair tips and toes
Fingers, words, poems and woes?
