Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a cage
Or should I call it #theDigitalAge ?
And I must tell you, it's loud in here.
I see and hear everyone too much.
Being called out by memes, and
Feeling left out on trends.
Photoshop making grass a little greener
While I filter out my blues.
I send you LOL with a straight face,
Use "Panic" as my wordle guess,
You see my carefully curated stories,
Unaware of the ones I hide from you.
Trained to fake a smile
Faster than the shutter speed.
While living like the protagonist
Of Franz Kafka's dairy adaptation.
Tired of looking through this glass cage.
Aren't you sick of this Digital Age?
Oh, Who am I kidding! You've already moved on,
To double-tap the next thing.
Starry Night â
Lying down on our grassy lawn,
Stars arranged like they're drawn,
Little fingers intertwined,
Playing on loop Seeing blind.
Then, you stand up to light your cigar,
That's when I see a shooting star.
I see your face through lighters flame,
And realize both are the same.

âHey,â he said, half-asleep, âwhat were you before you met me?â
âI think I was drowning.â A pause.
âAnd what are you now?â he whispered, sinking.
I thought for a second. âWater.â

Finding that one scene in a book that you love to read again and again because you just canât get over it is the best part of reading in my opinion
Jumin is gonna get his nose broke lbr he probably can't fight for shit
Centuries ago, one chilly winter night,
You smiled, held my hand in yours to leave behind,
Memories that twists my heart like a dagger,
While I wish my every sigh to be the last one
Since then I searched those amber eyes everywhere,
The color of maple leaves during the fall
I searched for you knowing that you are nowhere
Until I met someone who understood my pain.
Years passed away, and my companions with it.
I stayed the same, and so did our memories.
The only immortal things I've come across.
The living me, and the intangible us.
Now centuries later, this chilly winter
With this lovely human curled up next to me
I feel mortal. Not alive, just plain mortal.
Every second prized, every moment precious
With those same amber eyes, like a setting sun
One that threatened to burn me eons ago.
Have I wished for you often and hard enough?
That you had no other choice but to come back.
