On a stretching hallway of doors
Each one flings into an uncharted
The paths here are lit by the moon
Maps are traced out of constellation
Campfire rises and dances like fireflies
Ah, you keep learning to feel alive

Not everyone deserves to taste your kindness,
After being mistaken for blindness.
Charity has become a famous symbol,
Leaving the poor into dirty gamble.
Why go out and thrash the innocent,
First, try to make your home magnificent.
Not everyone deserves to taste your kindness,
Even after you overcame the sourness.
From tons of ways to give back to society,
Make sure only one to notice is almighty.
Time and resources aren’t scarce,
It’s you who’s constantly on a race.
Not everyone deserves to taste your kindness,
Do it for self regarded highness.
Hope so high that it vanishes the reality,
Keep taking the tough route of anonymity
Who needs your big fat surplus reserves,
They take it to feed those hungry curves.

It is not important — the why
we are the way we are this instance
I, compressing at air
you, taming fire
But our job is not to water down,
mold till we reflect each other
For you are born to be infinite
and I, to paint the city orange in colour

Lay
Too bored to stay awake
Too dreadful to sleep
In the between, I lay
Endlessly.

Swear
Most are afraid of the truth
Me, the uncertainty
What a scary world it is
If you can no longer trust
The words they swear by

Health
I am a spirit of fire
Trapped in a broken toy
Look how I burn up
The shell is bound to spoil
This kind of Fahrenheit
Not meant to be kept inside
Set it free
Here my beloved home shall lie

To everyone,
Maybe you’re lost and looking for sunshine,
Maybe you’re sad and looking for a smile.
So,
Here I am to tell you,
You’ll get what you want, only if you try.
The struggle will be hard, and maybe you’ll cry.
They’ll try to make you stop,
You’ll have to walk alone.
But remember,
That does not mean you’re going all wrong.
There will come days you’ll see no light,
You have to trust your dreams,
Continue to go on and fight.
For all this as I end now in short I say,
It will never be too dark for you not to stay.

Let it pass
If the pain comes
drink it up
When it goes
Let it pass

Balloon
I am a ball of helium
tied with a string —
stuck.
Let breath fill you up
allow gratitude to nest
heart gently expands
