Drifting In A Daydream



Daydreams giving exaggerated hopes in life.
A tender kiss is just behind closed eyes.
Happiness is hidden in the whiff of her scent.
A deeper touch felt even with open eyes.
Just like the waves of an ocean I drift in and away.
My heart drives me in and doubts in my mind chase me back.
A story that has a beauty whispered about again and again.
Due to the fear of stating things already known.
I keep my words to myself.
But what if, maybe it doesn't matter.
I mean everyone probably wouldn't mind hearing something good from time to time.
So I dare to let her know she's beautiful.
This morning.
And then the next.
And the one after that.
She smiles.
She blushes.
I smile and finally breathe again.
Do I dare to tell her more?
The way she makes me feel.
What she sees every day in the mirror
Is a dream that sticks my heart inside my throat.
I couldn't say the word beautiful enough.
I couldn't paint a picture of my soul's vision.
I'm simply human.
I fall
And sometimes I fall hard.
A daydream and a lonely heart.
An exaggerated hope of finding her love.

    Young, potentially unrequited love is the worst, isn't it.

Voices

📸iamprosperk It’s a force to express out loud and unapologetically The moment of contentment with self Where you say what you feel and think Being comfortable talking bout’ the unthinkable, and the forbidden A canvas of powerful scenic images, constructs of silenced stories and opinions One art at a time building a generation of wild, confident young minds Small steps it may seem but through open-mindedness, stories are molded A map that shows a trail of being comfortable in your own skin A thousand words of discouragement crafted for good, through art Staying true to self, telling your story in your own words, in its rawest form Being heard. Being seen. Being experienced…………… “Having a Voice.” Creative. Unique. Raw. And Loud The lyrics that shouts from the mountain top the ills around us The pictures that capture our deepest darkest moments The canvas that paints nature to remind us how important it is The cocktail of words filled with encourag

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and
