THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up
Does not trivialize your pain
The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound
Does not mean you never cried
The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy
The fact that you are alive and happy
Does not mean you aren't dead
A strange ghost animating your body
Not your dream self
The fact you woke up with a plan
Does not mean you aren't drifting through life
The fact that you love a song
Does not mean it makes you happy
The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative
Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?
