a single tear drop
is a minuscule
fragment of affliction …
its a speck of vast emotions
all encapsulated
in one single splash…
imagine the pain that remains in the tears not cried
but put a side
to hide

Keep my Heart Alive
Maybe I dance to the beat of my own drummer.. or
Maybe I am the drummer
Still looking for my beat
I feel it as it changes right under my feet
Maybe I sing to my own melody
Lost in the rhythm of life
And it’s swift changing keys
They can be sharp, haunting
Full of melancholy
I’m lost in the lyrics
that overstimulate my mind
But there are moments of clarity
Where the words just unwind
Those moments of solace
Happen time to time
Those are the times
That keep my heart alive

Petals
You picked my petals.
One
by
One.
And I let you,
thinking… I had won.
Truth be told,
before you finished with my petals…
You were already
done.
Kyoko W.P.
once was war
just like all the debris,
left from the storm.
it’s up to you
to clear that path,
and make a way-
where there once
was war.

Big Feels: I feel too much
Stillness
Standing in stillness
I observe the world
Spiral around me
Faster and faster
I behold life moving
I’m just a witness
Motion sickness
Hit me with a quickness
But I’m still …
standing in the stillness

Piece of Art ( Kinsugi)
Every word is a memory.
Each a punch in the gut,
a crack in the heart.
But these wounds
somehow craft me
into a new piece of art.
Kyoko W.P.
Masterpiece
Often times you have to break
Pick up the pieces through the heartache
Gather and take
those parts to put them together and make
It’s time to create
And elevate
The masterpiece
that you
are
Kyoko W.P.
With Grace
What if I decide,
not to be afraid…
But to embrace
the adventure
with grace,
not fear
on my
face
Kyoko W.P.
Still Standing
I am like a tree,
at the end of autumn.
The branches,
like my bones,
are bare,
exposed and vulnerable
But still standing
And despite the cold,
and blows of gust
I’m still standing
……. I am strong
Kyoko W.P.

Big Feels: I feel too much
Available at link above🖤
Never too much & Always enough
You’re never too much
And always enough
Remember these words when you want to give up
When you’re feeling weak and things are tough
Life will be rough
Try to call your bluff
Just try not to sweat the small stuff
Sometimes you might have to go off the cuff
Let go of the clutch
Feel every little touch
Remember to make sure to fill your cup
And keep your chin up
You’re never too much
And you’re always enough
Open Book
I’m an open book
Turn the page and take a look
Inside you’ll find every emotion and feeling
The trauma and pain that still needs healing
The once frightened child
My thoughts gone wild
The tears that I’ve cried
All the times that I’ve tried
The love in my soul
Things I can’t control
Every page, every chapter
Will have you wonder
How life hasn’t snapped her
I am majestic
I lived in hell for many years
Living in a constant state of panic and fear
Increasing everytime the devil drew near
He drew more power with every tear
Questioning my thoughts, made my own memories disappear
I didn’t even recognize myself in the mirror
Until I found my strength, my spear
Now his screams I can’t even hear
He has no power, and I have no fear
I am majestic and he is mere
Your Rage Kept Me In A Cage
You kept me in a cage; chained and locked.
There was no way out that was not blocked
Kidnapped. Wings strapped. Completely Trapped
Days go by. I still don’t fly
Hope decreased. Would I ever be released?
I won’t let him keep me here. I won’t be controlled by fear
It’s time things are changing. It’s time for uncaging
I fought and felt stripped from the chains that I ripped.
My wings for so long held down and gripped
But they could not possibly ever be clipped
I was once in your prison. But from those dwellings i have finally risen.
Thick skin
They say I need thick skin
That I am too weak
But I’ve been through plenty
Maybe this is where I peak
They tell me I need to get tough.
I tell them I just feel too much
You don’t need thick skin
You don’t need to be strong
It’s okay if you’re sad and cry all day long
It’s okay not to be okay
No matter what they might say
I know what I am and need to be
But wearing my heart on my sleeve Is a part of me
I don’t need thick skin
I’m just a body with a sensitive soul within
