Lone Ranger

I am tall in my head
Dark in personality
I am a stranger to the world
As I walk in the night
With little drops left to drink
I can just pray for a rain to fall
Very little power left in my soul
I can hardly reach the sun
The night is all I seek for
Even in daylight I can’t spell “Bright”
Only if someone could reach out their hand for me
And give me a hold to live a while
But I think that is not the case
With the strangers of night
They can hardly be seen
The passage they choose is often deserted
One could only find the ghosts of their trails
No footsteps, no leftovers
Their track is traceless
So what more can you expect from such strangers
They are lone rangers of the dark
They are meant to be that way
So am I
And still I deny?  

The life I choose to live


The life I choose to live
Is somewhere in the wonderland
On the other side of the looking glass
Somewhere between the closet full of old clothes
Because this world is way too real for it
I can’t live it here
Even if I try to live it
Not even it’ll suffocate me
It’ll fall to dust itself too
My dreams and my nightmares are still mine
Some of them I am afraid to visit
Others I cherish in my quiet moments
The reality is too hard to live in
No one wants it but they all do
Just to be called normal
If title was everything I’d wished
I would have given up my choice a long time ago
But I feel the choice isn’t mine anymore
It spins in the hands of fate
And so does the choices of everyone else
I am just left in my chair
To rot till my time expires
Till my breaths wear out
Till my beats are silent
Even though I’ll never see my wonderland
But it will exist in someone else’s eyes
It will carry on its fragrance
On another stranger’s chest
The life we are living
May not be the life we choose to live
Our life may lie…
On the other side of the looking glass
Somewhere between the closet full of old clothes
