I was too proud to recognize my flaws: running everyday, hiding from you, finding new lies to deceive you. I was convinced that because it is me Things would go my way and that I'd get what I need today. But how many days have passed? I'm still waiting, anxious and scared and I've run out of lies. Swallowing my pride, I expose myself. I feel naked and tortured as nothing goes as planned. And I'm still waiting. How many days has it been? So tonight, I am begging. I am on my knees. Don't just watch me indifferently. I can't stand anymore, take pity on me.

If you've spilled all that you had inside what is there left of you to write? Is a heart healed but empty inside worth more than the crumbling one you've abandoned? The bitterness made good better and everything losing its taste is the price for a painless heart. An empty heart can't be aching... Healed of the anger that darkened it; it's shining anew but not happy. Rid of the constant chagrin that filled it; it's clean but unbeating. Was this the wrong form of healing? Having spilled enough to no longer ache yet too much to keep beating if not for this silent call for more suffering. Akai-Yari

You always had the tenderest embrace, Open arms that held comfort beyond words. Whenever life took a wrong turn, You held me tight and in your arms, I could forget. You always had the most charming smile, rivaled only by your convincing arguments. They never let me hesitate long enough, You never gave me a choice Whenever I heard your voice. But curiously enough, More things in my life seemed off, hard times were coming more often. But I contented myself with running to you. Everything would be fine if I had you. Addicted to you, Everything else lost its taste and till now, I need you. And I have to struggle ever harder in order to leav

I want to be with you Not like in teenage love, where everything is "forever with you" but breaks when out of each other's sight. I want to be with you, Not for the sake of convenience or because my last resort is you as I'm getting older and less desirable. I want to be with you, Not because we've been together so long that I can't be bothered to find anyone else but you because I've adapted to you. I want to be with you, even as you're insufferable and I want to do everything else but love you but can't since I actually do... I want to be with you, because real life is nothing like fairytales and there are times I want to be away from y

Expressing one's opinion has turned to be putting a target on one's head. What has become of freedom of speech? If for every disagreement we have we'd use guns instead of words, what'd be there left to live? A community is a gathering of people: different ideas, different beliefs but a same family. If some of us are pushed we will stand up together and continue to use the right we all have not to stay silent: We are not afraid. Those who have left showed the best model there is of freedom; making them martyrs of freedom of speech will encourage us more than ever to follow their steps and not be afraid to express what we think.

We were supposed to be born equals but from the get go we were given different rights, we were given different chances and expectations. Then some of us had the chance to know love, to emancipate and build an opinion and an identity, other had to fight their way to have such a chance, with no guaranteed success. In the end ,it's not always those who were expected to that arrived fulfilled at the end of the journey. We all walk but only some of us discovered what for. And we die different, like we were born. Though birth and death are the same for all, some of us had the chance to live them well enough. It's not how we were born that is

There is no such thing as global warming. It is rubbish spawned to make us stop growing, to make us give more money for things unneeded and to make us sacrifice our happiness for their greed.    How can they say there are droughts,    when I just saw the rain yesterday?    Who would complain about the beautiful days    the long lasting summer brought? They are just asking for more money for Africa. They have always been poor, let them fend for themselves. It's nothing but exaggerated propaganda in an effort to bring guilt on our hardworking selves.    It doesn't matter if there are no winters or no rain,    if faraway ice-contine

On the road of your life you'll find that there is rarely a straight line. So don't put your life on the line driving at top speed, closing your eyes all the while.     Remember you're not alone on the road:     don't endanger neither yourself nor others.     Paying for your own mistake is only fair,     damaging and destroying another's life is not. You have to stay alert for that same reason no matter how careful you are, along the road will always be less careful drivers and you might be the victim of their carelessness.     But the road is not all bleak and scary,     there are straight lines     where you shouldn't be afraid

I know I've made mistakes, some of which I can't shoulder the consequences alone, I know I've disappointed I can say more than once. I know you want the best for me and for the days that are to come. I know it's only love, You won't refrain from scolding a loved child.* But once in a while, let me make my own mistakes and taste defeat while running to bandage new wounds. Once in a while, let me admire the fire's light and let me burn my hand if I'm too curious for my own good. Give me a chance to make errors and trials that'll help me mature and grow up. But don't abandon me either if there are things I can't shoulder. Because I need

Every one of your deepest desires, hidden, sad or happy memories come to cover your eyes.     Everything seems so pretty     nothing is in its place     but they all fit perfectly. Every question unanswered has lost its importance. Here, the truth is whispered.     Everything is seen in another light     some things are brighter, stranger     but they all shine in a new light. Every one of them is chased away by the morning and the rising sun. So don't waste your life away.     Dream, dream on every night     but don't content yourself with a dream     that will fade away with the night. Akai Yari
