gods amongst us...

(sigh)
Perfection is the goal,
miles away from it,
know not when I will reach it,
if I ever will, but,
Perfection is the goal.
(sigh)
Perfection is so sought for,
Nothing else is accepted,
Nothing less is appreciated,
Either it's perfect or it's not,
Perfection is so sought for .
(sigh)
Perfection must be attained,
It leaves you no choice,
Fight for it,
Kill for it,
Perfection must be attained.
(sigh)
Perfection isn't a god,
In the end,
No one really is,
It's just strived for,
Perfection isn't a god.

black is a colour...

Black is a colour...

Funny how we tend to associate black with negativity , without realising that it is actually what we make of it that it eventually becomes.
Yes, black can be beautiful, yes, it can portray beauty and positivity. Albeit, we never do, and that's just sad. Even when it's tied to negative things, we do not accept that it is our activities that have made it so, our activities have corrupted this icon, black, we have made it an icon of evil and negativity.
For some, black remains an attitude signifying boldness, beauty and strength.
Black is what you make of it...
Black is a colour.

It's easier to think, right?

We see people everyday,
We talk to them everyday,
Whether they are fine or not,
We think they are.

I see her laugh, smile, play,
I talk to her everyday,
I feel she is fine,
I think she looks fine.

You see him frown,
You don't bother to talk to him,
You feel he needs no one,
You feel he's a strong one.

Why do we make assumptions?,
Because it's easier than obligation,
Why don't you reach out?,
Because you feel they're alright.
