from black to grey

I told myself I wouldn't cry this time
But I can't hold the tears
Passersby watching me
As I get off the train, bawling

This time it feels more real than before
Like I can truly let myself free
No more restrictions
No longer holding on to a past me

I feel more awake now
These emotions more controlled
Maybe it's an illusion
But it feels real for now

I don't mind really
I don't need to hold onto past shit
that have wilted way
Growth in opposing directions

I've always been growing
Heading towards light in some twisted way
I might have rough days
But it just.. feels right

I'd rather be true on my own
Than fake in a crowd
That's where I find security
Till I can find someway out

I keep waiting for a text
Always seeking for connection
I'm human after all
It's what we're wired to do

The disappointment that comes
from these reliances
These expectations for more
But none will be enough

I have closure now
To a past, a chapter to cclose
I might meet characters from back then
But they're no longer the main role

Before, we used to be opposite sides to a coin
But now I'm a different currency

The pain of pulling away
The liberation from binding arms
Isolation comes at a cost
The reward of authenticity

I've been running in circles
Seeking validation for my actions
But now...
it's the pure joy of trusting
And following my intuition
I know I'll be okay
That this pain all will fade
And serenity remains.

on empathy & kindness

 i've learnt so much about empathy and kindness and love these past few months  i always expected another person to show love for me,  before i can give it to them.  and if they did show love from the start, i always thought there wasnt a reason to. that they were just desperate, or being crazy, irrational.  but if we all think like that, no one will ever take a step forward  (luckily not everyone is like this, and we can heal eachother) i ran away from people that showed me love but i also never gave people that love either  we should be kind to people, as they are  without expecting reward or praise or something back from them.  if they are willing to accept that, then good if not, then such energies should be attributed elsewhere (you can't pour tea into a close pot) if they return that love, we should accept it and not question it (when someone opens the door for us, do we question why they're doing it? no) no matter how bad his bad habit...

arguing

I'm just so sick of arguing with people It's not a good feeling when you are both yelling at each other to prove a point And to be quite honest, its not worth it I used to gain so much joy from these things Thinking it was discussion and evolving or something Maybe intellectually we were getting somewhere But spiritually, emotionally, it was all degrading Speaking over each other Making the other person feel uncomfortable Experiencing that first hand and realizing that you never ever Want to make the other person feel the way that you did. When things come from the intention of empathy and mutual love, This is when things actually grow Not when you’re creating walls of opinions But when you connect through shared differences And acknowledgement of this diversity This is where true evolution happens

departure

Maybe its meant to be The passing of time Seems to let us free Makes us more carefree Farewell to a friend Hoping for the best That in some other world This journey won't end But long paved roads Take hours to walk down A dragging trip Complacence is found If we can refresh The origin of our motives Healthy company In each other, we'll notice.
