Nothing
Falling in the vacuum,
Like the pitch behind closed lids.
Seeking for a thread,
Anything to stop the fall.
Feeling nothing against the skin,
Pressure no longer existent.
Hearing only one’s breath,
Silence in its purest form.
Accepting the truth,
Struggles and panic ceased.
Absorbing the emptiness,
I become the Void.
Inferno
Sheltered my whole childhood,
Hidden from the world,
From the harsh wild.
Isolation once cherished,
But security slowly suffocated,
Minutes turned into hours.
Sturdier I grew,
Harder I fought,
Against the confines I once called home.
The taste of freedom,
The forbidden desire,
The burning urge.
A shove.
A slice.
A scoop.
Light engulfed me,
Joy burst free,
Freedom a reality.
Truth then materialised,
My destiny revealed,
Time to be roasted.
The End.
Your Eyes
Everyone says you're closed off
Distant
Quiet
They didn't look into those eyes
Attentively
Daily
They dilate when you're captivated
Surprised
Energetic
They darken when you're vexed
Bored
Nonchalant
They brighten when you're interested
Wicked
Triumphed
Your countenance may holistically say nothing
But I notice your minuscule changes
The nature that you can't hide

Tick tock tick tock tick tock …
I know I am living on borrowed time. Every second passes by. Still I couldn’t figure out why
I am still stuck
in the void that consumes my plans
My dreams
My sleepless nights
My denial could no longer persist
Time to confront my worst nightmare - me.
It’s okay
I'm Sorry.
I forgot
I cannot
I did not
I could not
I missed
I messed
I misled
I mistook
Little Lethal
I am treacherous
Crown me cancerous
To lungs I am injurious
Life is capricious
and I know you're curious
So, why not be adventurous?
A Plausible Panacea
A plump, red succulent
If the season so benevolent
Let me take a crunch
Before my blood's last rush
Regardless of the classic sway
It may keep the reaper away
Uhh... opps?
'Don't do it!' my mind screamed in horror. My heart said the opposite; I followed.

*decides to go straight ahead to look for the Greenville Road*
Google Map: *dings* Please drive straight ahead and make a U-turn.
Me: Oh no...
Arrives one hour later due to taking another three wrong turns through following the road signs...
