Sitting at the fireplace
Sparks are flying by 
The darkness is coming over me 
On wings black as the night 

I have my head up in the sky 
The air is filled with smoke
Therefore I'm breathing heavily 
And hope is a sweet lie 

The burning heat 
Of glow and flames 
The passion in your eyes 
You seem to live 
So happily 
Please tell me
Why can't I? 

And in a row of late-night talks 
The ashes became cold
The glow is gone 
The fire's out 
The smoke is blown away 

And even though the world is dead 
Our memories are alive 
We'll be forever sitting here 
Singing songs from long forgotten times 

* * *

When all the thoughts are taking over us
Let's meet here
Cause when we are sitting at the fireplace
We can pretend that everything is fine

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
