To my children Talk yourself happy in God
I feel a surge of happiness in me. My mood today uplifted. Because I chose to make God first-focus, My mindset has already shifted. Bursting with joy, happy as can be. Because hope in my God blooms inside of me. I feel the flaring of His joy, Floodings my heart, body and soul. His joy engulfs my human mind. And it's completely taking...

Why Didn't You Stay
Far from the sea I'm trying to set myself free Tears flowing like a river I have no idea when will it be over You left in March, now it's almost May Still, I'm asking myself why didn't you stay? I can feel the heaviness in me like rain My heart is clearly in vain My nights felt so empty, I always cry The...

Heavenly II
By noon, the halls throb with static, a low thrum like teeth grinding in sleep. The school, half-submerged in memory, holds its breath. Beneath a cracked skylight, a locker peels open by itself, slow as a yawn. Inside: a paper crown, soaked in ink, and a polaroid of a girl with mirrors for eyes. In the...

Night Terrors
Running down Chicago Ave barefoot brain buzzing hymns and static, neon crucifix blinking above a bodega, the gospel of smoke and piss, all-night diner flickering with ghosts of jukeboxes past—she laughs in her sleep, god I miss her already, dreaming of Congo drums, 3AM baptisms, ash on my tongue and wind in my coat, don’t...

Overwhelmed Avalanches of Doubt
So many ways to say one thing More than one way to turn pawn to king Too many turns to the grocery store Which turn shall I take? Countless words to choose from From sunrise to sunset Too many ends to be met With no end So many ways to say one thing How will I say this? The paralysis of perfection pours A whisper...

Our private communications Apps
2024.4.24 One year ago, today, at 13:28:00, You installed some Conversation Apps XMPP. A single word "Hi" was sent to my device. Then at 14:28:00, exactly one hour later, I received: "Hi. I am sending you a message". Since then, we continued on messaging one another. Despite we were in the same area, Sitting only 1.5m away from each other. There...

I take heed of what I’m too scared to admit, Keep stepping on, Sometimes you just take the lead and head on into the darkest abyss. Focus hard on what it is that you miss, Make time for yourself, Sometimes you’ve gotta remind yourself that you exist. Take heed of what you transmit, Cantankerous, Cancerous, Make...

Emily,
It made me so sad when you told me that you cut your wrists. And it was made so much worse when you rolled your sleeves down and showed me both of them. "Sorry to change the subject, but I have to ask: what do you want to be when you grow up?" "Once I’m out of this place," you gesticulate around the hollow halls of the hospital. "Once I’m out...
