luck

never tempt fate, 

it'll get you nowhere. 

i've spent hours, 

trying to get rid of my destiny. 

i'm tired of pretending 

that it's not right there,

that my whole life isn't already decided. 

just because i'm lucky up till now

doesn't mean i will be in a couple years. 

i know my fate is already sealed,

deep within a book

where it writes my story,

line by line,

page by page, 

till there isn't enough ink and blood.

but i can't help but think,

that i will keep getting lucky, 

because so far this luck 

has just come to me. 

it's my melody.

  • just another poem

    I can't breathe, 

    I haven't felt like this in a while. 

    I thought it was getting better, 

    But I'm still drowning in screams. 

     

    Breathe, 

    Take some air, you deserve it. 

  • the lily petal

    The flower petal was from a lily, 

    It was white, light, and innocent. 

    It floated on the top of loathsome water, 

    It appeared lonely, slowly deteriorating there. 

     

  • tied to you

    It's endless,

    The loop of love. 

    I fall into it once,

    And it feels like I'll never escape. 

     

    It's like I'm tied to myself,

    Suffocating in thousands of knots,

    Tied by you.
