when you look yourself at the mirror:
they do not hold your true soul
you just see what you are outside
it does not depict
what your rawness looks like

it's fascinating
how our skin felt in touch
with clothes we put in them

it's alluring to see
vehicles on the other side
of the road to be parallel
with each other—
and see faces and bodies
as we pass them on the road

we don't cross each other's lives—
but cross each other's path
the path we follow within ourself

it's fascinating how we
not ask our feets
where do we wanna go—
but still, we walk depending
of things our mind says

it's amazing
how our heart pounds
when every second falls
and do not notice
that it still beats
when we're dead enough
to make us not feel
less alive

we are entirely made of opposites / you are a whole and i am a piece / i am that tiny fumes dispersed onto the sky while you are sturdy waves crest aside / i am a meager star apprehending your edges / you are the embodiment of bee-lines / you always go straight right your path / i couldn't go without you / you can leave without me
