INKFOLIO

I am a collection of everything I have ever been

I am what I remember and what I forgot

I am the build-up of my dreams

coated in silver and gold

escaping reality to become fog

stuck between two worlds.

I am the accumulation of my thoughts

the clear cut and the messy ones

and the ones lost to the clouds

with rims of glitter unbound.

I am all my regrets, the past ones

and the ones I’m yet to have

I am all my fears and all the moments I braved

I am a coward, and a hero, and a mage

I am sprinkles of magic and imagination

and the cold reality with a sour taste

I am the pain of the long taunting nights

praying for sleep, begging I’ll suffice

I am everything I never thought I would be

and everything I thought I could

I am scared to carry on being me

and mostly, I am scared to stop.
