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.

  • i'll stay forever

    Every day, I sit and stare

    at you talking about what others consider nonsense. 

    I'd call you a wordsmith,

    Staged-like words flowing off the tip of your tongue. 

     

    I hunch in the corner of the group,

  • time and time again

    my heart was ripped apart in seconds

    and it only took a few hours to be stitched up again.

    those stitches won't stay

    just like I know you won't.

    you leave the conversations like deer,
