I wish for just one second to turn the tides into torches So that I could pluck them from the sea And show the waves where to go

The One Thing That Matters

This world is so lonely,

few friends to relate.

Small talk is all they give.

How is that anyway to live?

My landlord doesn't understand

why the rent is late.

He calls... and calls.. and calls.. and calls,

Just to belittle and berate.

Given crumbs to work like a robot

and still, the bills can't be paid.

my body and spirit can't meet the demand.

Little compensation for the hours I've given.

Always struggling. This just isn't living.

My car breaks down on the way home from work.

It never runs right.  Just a hand-me-down from a jerk.

I kick my car door and cuss in anger,

pushing it to the side of the road and out of danger.

I have to walk home because my cell phone doesn't work.

There goes the dog bolting through the neighborhood.

All I did was open the front door.

Animal control will be called soon.

Maybe they'll take her away for good.

I just can't take this anymore.

I'm exhausted and defeated.

The greeting I give my husband is ignored.

He never looks at me with interest now.

He just sits around and says he's bored.

This can't be living. There has to be more.

My little girl comes to greet me

as I sit down and think life is just a cruel chore.

She drew me a picture with the two of us smiling.

She holds it up proudly and shouts

“I love you, mommy!” loudly.

I hug her tightly as she beams with a grin.

That sweet childlike picture is more than a win.

It's that sweet little gesture that makes me see.

I am loved so much. There's no need to grieve.

I hang her picture on the fridge.

And cry a bit as I smile.

My life is hard and stressful,

but the little things like this make it all worth while.

💀Eve Of Destruction🦄

I remember sitting at the cosmic backyard Where most of me and my dreams made had made a start In that realm, I remember showing my unicorn around All the things true and all the things to be found I wanted her to follow her heart Nothing more Maybe then her light would shine across more galaxies that are far

Well ask me, I was having my own doubts I was loosing my own self And becoming a monster day by day The only one I had learnt to care for After all, I knew what I was getting into before any of its start How could I have been this rough?

Anyways keeping me aside, I remember asking my unicorn , ‘what’s up?’ All she said was “We were in the Eve of Destruction from the start” Damn, I thought I asked her if she knew what she was saying For these were one of the things that I used to believe in She agreed that most of this world was living in unrest And the things I said, The plans I made maybe For happiness In the long run Maybe made some sense

In many ways similar to this, she belived in my words when I didn’t know my own mouth Her light became the grip to my slipping soul My unicorn knew all of my ends Even if I was stuck in my own bends

Well know about her,and after all the time She spent there, and all the things that she said after I was like my job here is done, nothing will stop her thereafter My unicorn knows the world And now she knew her worth She will not let others get into her skin or soul anymore She will forever shine her light bold Against this world forever playing cold

How could I wish that I was right this once I have failed me completely How will I do any good to this world? When I couldn’t even help The only one that ever mattered While my unicorn still gets influenced much By the world around her As she refuses to dig up further To know her soul even better Lets people she ‘trusts’ Do it for her I know she lives in her world full of doubts But how will she ever know Minds like hers is what will save the world from the Ultimate drought

☀️ Chronicles with Light (2) 🦄

Heads once filled with flowers and colours Are now, as you say, blank and filled with pain Life can be bitter and cruel All because of the deeds of this fool

I could for never do your life That is always for you to do Whatever you want to do, I donno Fill the blanks with the best of you It’s all this universe needs, I am telling you

Do your part, friend, do it right I never stopped you or ever will My unicorn, the world will dance in your light Including those you call “friends” And I, will just stand and smile

As for I, I hope come back to the world on time On time to do my part I hope you know, you hold the key to that For what I have done can never be undone And only you know this soul for it’s worth

Do all the things I once sought All that this world wants Make everyone and you proud For all the sacrifices you did Just see me through one more time Come back and show me the light

👽 Throne of Shame 🦄

I always was a raging bull Never did learn to play cool Sitting in his throne of shame A fool who tried to run the game A game not for you to play But you tried it anyway At the end you lost, and so did I Everyone now living in rewind Maybe you will know someday How your love showed me the way My unicorn of the galaxies Put this alien out of its misery

-a.K
