Move Forward

Move forward,
Ignore the pain,
The wish to disappear,
For them, you can’t stop.
Keep walking,
Don’t lose your balance.
Focus on standing tall,
You can’t fall down.
Like metal, you can’t bend,
Like stone, you have to endure.
Keep going,
Not for yourself but for them.
Don’t become the reason for their tears,
Remain for their sake,
To not break their hearts.
Move forward,
Like you’re expected.
Ignore the pain,
The wish to disappear,
For them, you can’t stop,
Even if there’s nothing left to keep you going.
Simply hide the pain,
The sorrow that weighs you down.
Keep walking,
Don’t lose your balance.
Focus on standing tall,
You can’t fall down.
Keep going,
Not for yourself but for them.
Move forward,
Like you’re expected.
Keep walking,
Don’t stop,
You can’t disappear.
Numb the pain,
Ignore the tears.
Move forward,
Remain for their sake,
For them, you can’t stop,
Even as you’re breaking apart.
Move forward,
Keep walking,
Don’t stop,
Keep going,
Move forward;

From Far Above

Sleeping child,
Star from far above,
Resting, dreaming,
Of a flower’s bloom.
Raining starlight,
Dancing stardust,
Fragments of time.
An ocean within the sky,
A void within the sea,
A sky within the vacuum.
Singing, weaving,
Threads become emotions,
Emotions become thoughts,
Thoughts become words,
Words become a song,
A never-ending tapestry.
Sleeping child,
Star from far above,
The dreamer’s flower blooms,
Below an endless world of stars.
