When I was a kid, I had tons of dreams
I was going to go to space I was going to be an astronaut I learned the constellations and the stations of the moon I watched mesmerized at videos of shuttle launches and I'd jump and cheer at the eventual splashdown I'd watch the stars at night so I guess some things just never change But when I couldn't figure out how to use a telescope I gave up on it all, as if it never existed
I was going to be a rockstar some day
I'd learn every cassette and CD that found it's way to me Even the one's I disliked Singing along to Alan Jackson Elvis Presley and Motley Crue I was going to learn to play guitar And I find myself still saying those words because some things just don't change But I never has the actual ambition or that little bit of starter talent And I never liked to be in the spotlight So when things got a little hard, I just got off
I was going to be author I was going to write a story that was beloved I was going to write of love and emotions and all the things that make up a good person and all those that create the villain but I never finish what I've started and I'm writing cryptic messages in badly written poetry A vomiting of my sub-conscience all over the sidewalk outside your old apartment door I write for this to spill my guts to let strangers judge me Some dreams, they just never change
i wanna answer your ask but idk your online name š

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.
Why mother?
why did you tear me apart
when you should have kept me together ?
when you should have held me a bit closer ?
Why father ?
why did you pull me down
and drowned me in my tears
when you should have been my ladder ?
when you should have kept me warm under your wings ?
Why sister ?
why did you spat venom and killed me inside
when you should have been my pillar ?
when you should have hugged me tighter ?
passion.
it's supposed to be the burning flame,
the light that guides you forward,
the torch that lits the way.
but
sometimes,
the flame reduces to nothing but a spark.
and
the light seems so far that all you see is darkness.
and sometimes,
the torch burns a bit too much,
leaving us all in burned pieces.

today,
i shattered all the expectations and dreams.
destroyed all the hopes.
now i am left alone with all these broken pieces.
this time,
i hope i make something more beautiful with these pieces.
something worth protecting.
something worth fighting for.
I write songs but no one listensĀ I write poems no one readsĀ A secret show with just one ticketĀ these words are dancing just for meĀ
Oh, is this self doubt or sweet wisdom?Ā to play for no one but the sunĀ Donāt need the oohs and aahs of othersĀ at my eternal party of oneĀ
My imperfect poetry, I write you in invisible ink My pitchy melodies, I sing at the lowest frequencyĀ but if you can hear me... thanks for listeningĀ
The thrill of writing a new sentenceĀ dreaming up syllables that singĀ Donāt need a chorus line behind meĀ I found a friend in all these keysĀ
Oh, is this self doubt or sweet wisdom?Ā I tell myself donāt overthink I pour out my soul to these four walls give them all of my secrets to keep
My imperfect poetry, I write you in invisible ink My pitchy melodies, I sing at the lowest frequencyĀ but if you can hear me... thanks for listeningĀ
Am I moving forward or standing still?Ā Is it fear of failing or am I chill?Ā I tell myself itās not that deepĀ so I play in secret just for meĀ
But if you can hear me... Oh, if you can hear me... If you can hear me... thanks for listening Ā
