~ Games ~⁠ ⁠

We pretend we’re adults
But we’re just little kids
We stare at nothing
Waiting to be thrilled

Thumbs typing
Three dots moving
Delete everything 
Let’s keep on holding

Counting the seconds 
While we’re playing games
We hide behind forced silences
When we’d rather call 
Each other's names ⁠

~ Peace ~⁠ ⁠

Like the waves in the ocean
Like the mist over the hills
Like the rain in the jungle 
Like a lake completely still

When your surface is calm
A reflection is seen
Of the seer’s own self
And everything in between

Fresh as the snow
Hot as the steam
Strong as the ice
Soft as the breeze

You have infinite shapes 
But always the same soul
You’re flawless as a stream
When you go with the flow ⁠

~ Fool ~⁠ ⁠

And a fool I am
If I think I can 
Take care of your wounds
Making heaven or hell

And a fool I am
If I think you can
Make me feel complete
Perfect in every cell

But perfect we already are
Though perfect we’ll never be
If we just trust ourselves 
We will forever be free ⁠

Song pick

A bit of a melancholic one this time
