Favorite Quote:
"In this world, wherever there is light, there are always shadows. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish desire for peace gives rise to war. And hatred is born in order to protect love."

Wrapping, enclosing me in darkness,

Thin strings enveloping my perception.


The thoughts lost in my mind,

Intertwining itself, looping around my aperture.


Closing off my gaze,

Are the strings holding up my maze?


But like a never ending daze,

I will never again be able to face.


Strings, looping, twining, endlessly,

Till all that's left is an endless sea.

The author's comments:

I wrote this piece to symbolize mental health problems that many teenagers face today and about how it can constrict your feelings and make life seem blurry and out of focus.
