Empty

I want to hold myself together
So my insides don't fall out.
I don't feel so well
But I'm not much cop
As an empty shell

Strength

Everyday is a battle won
A wound that didn't kill you
A step towards Paradise
A light year closer to the Sun

Flowers

Flowers and plants
Are proof that life can grow
Even in the saddest,
Driest,
Most barren places,
If one only remembers 
To give them some light.

Haiku

Wherever you are
We see the same stars and moon
And I'm not alone

Stars

My eyes rise to the skies
And the stars wink at me,
As if to let me know
That they see me too.

I try to count -
Eight billion? Nine?
A trillion? Ten?
Each time I blink, I lose count.

I feel so small,
Like a toddler in a field
Of long, tall grass.
I am miniscule.

A sadness constricts my heart
As I realise, with dread,
That the beauty I see,
The stars, are already dead.
