Watching stars

Watching stars

Don’t explain what it was

Let’s just watch stars,

Like it’s our last time,

In the world where nothing lasts.

We’re always forced to play roles,

With fake smiles heart grows cold,

But I still don’t hate this world,

If still there are stars, there’s hope.

We may never meet again,

Don’t tell me, I’m aware,

Stop justifying your every step,

It’s already a crime that we’re here.

I care for you, even if it’s wrong,

To care for another living soul…

Don’t explain what it was,

A star falling down you cheek,

Don’t be afraid to feel,

You’re not weak, you’re real.

No matter how many years pass by, I won’t lose the things you gave me, those memories are a part of my beating heart… they humanize me… they make me real…

Dead butterflies

Dead butterflies

Your pretty words

Are complete nonsense,

Escaping your lips

Only to fall down

Like dead butterflies.

Only a fool can remark,

Their inner beauty,

Justify the crime

Of being empty inside.

So you feed the naive souls,

With lies and crave for their existence

In your life and head,

Because otherwise...

You’ll turn into a butterfly yourself...

Some can’t live without lies anymore, it’s not a bad habit or an addiction, it’s the only way of living, achieving and gaining attention they know…

Fireworks and New Year’s resolutions (Poem and thoughts)

Fireworks

We can’t stand and watch fireworks forever,

It’s hard to admit,

We live in their smoke rest of our time,

Only to see this day again

And to allow ourselves to be happy,

Like there’s nothing to regret,

Like we never grew up.

I wrote this poem last year, on 1 January, my only wish for 2014 was to be happier and now a year has gone by and I can admit, that I was and I am truly happier. Because I found strength to move forward and say words, do things I was nervous about. I found a friend, a real one, even if I didn’t believe I ever would, but everything can happen, if you make step forwards.

I achieved many things, that may be not so visible at first, but are real and important achievements for me. I even started to smile a little more…

I don’t have any New Years resolutions, I will do things, I will make changes happen, not plan them, not think or dream about them, but do!

Look at your New Year’s resolutions,

Aren’t they just a sweet bunch of lies?

It’s said – don’t make promises when you’re happy,

They will fade away like the sparkles in your eyes.

There’s no such a thing as New Year – new me, it’s an pretty illusion, I will use my experience to make myself and things better. Others can long for changes and sit in one place, but I will improve, I will go only forward, not promising but doing.

I’m the change, you’re the change, we are the change we need!
