I had to walk away
Because you did not love me too
But there is no forgetting your light
I will put my memory of it in a torch
And station it on the wall of my heart
So I no longer wander in the dark in there
Though I shouldn't need you
I need your light
Humanity needs your light
It is the light so many allow to be dormant within themselves
I have been wanting to bring freedom to the world
But the solution is teaching inner freedom
If people have that
Then the world will be freed

Ripples in Reality
Sometimes I do not know whether my life is a never-ending dream or a heartbreaking reality. On Wednesdays, I feel normal, whatever that normal may be. On Mondays I feel like a villainous imposter sent to destroy everything in my lonely path, yet, come Friday I feel like a beloved victorious hero set to conquer the world for the better, for the good. I feel as if I am both, maybe all, yet equally neither. Some days I feel everything, other days I feel absolutely nothing. Either which when I do, I feel it all entirely and yet, not at all. To remain myself, whomever I may be, I balance delicately between being present, to then dissociating altogether.
