What do you do 
When you feel like giving up?
When you keep on striding
In a pitch-black tunnel
And never see a hint of light?
When you gasp for air
After running that extra mile
And ask yourself,
Was your efforts worthwhile?
When you feel the volume of your tears
As they are lured by gravity
To fall down and below
And let The perfect oval teardrop
Burst
As it would reach the cold marbled floors
If you allow yourself 
To suffer from an emotional breakdown
Would all these bad feeling break?
Or would they bring you down?
Lying, flying
High and low
Tired of breathing
And watching blood flow
Wondering if jotting your heart in words
Would be enough to fight all these swords
Or even just to understand these twists and turns.

I’m only human.

The course of the universe pulling you
In a candid motion you didn’t sign up for
When will it stop? You won’t have a clue
You’ll try so hard not to drop to the floor

Five, ten, fifteen seconds
The clock won’t be able to determine
I’ll hold on to my nerves until this madness ends
Stagnancy will be a light that gleams

Someone stop me from screaming
No, no maybe not
So that my voice could reach someone else’s hearing
And hopefully catch me when I drop

When vertigo comes I have only one wish
That in the arms of my love I will be leashed.

Don’t you think that it’s rather odd

That we judge each other

With the way we choose to look at things?

Don’t you miss thinking

Just because you want to think

Just because you want to get lost

In the train of thought that your mind keeps on running

And what others think about

Is just none of your business.

It is funny

How one can now be branded “overrated”

When he digs in too deep

Into the density of his thoughts

Going beyond the answers

To his every why and how

Examining every detailed detail

It is rather unfair

For the man

Who; on the other side of the coin,

Choose not to give much fuss about the complex

To be labelled “shallow” or even “stupid”

Because he is intelligent enough

To find the most important wisdom

That comes in the simplicity of his thoughts
