Motaz is 93% there to reach his gofundme goal
living isn't all that's on my mind sweet petunia brisk and gentle skies living is a sin like blue sunrise maybe I can bloom and let you decide let you divide into whatever you want and let you outlive the darkest part
-s's.
you can rip silence apart to sparks like interstellar dust
And embrace the way truth escapes its fiery arms Peculiar noise, infinite void -s’s.
-s’s.
is there a word for the world that’s better, and takes it higher? I can’t cry anything for you now, not even fire
-s's.
eyes are getting to you,
you tell yourself that
it gets too lonely and you
don't know who to ask
all by yourself,
only looking down at this
winding staircase
walking up the grandeur of each day
-s’s.
I’m part of a crack; an idea that you lack
and I’ve bought myself down into mystery
Inviting in dreams I’ll have to look over
Bringing them in
—again and again
but it’s nothing like what’s coming
nothing is like this cruel ending
-s’s.
She is a glowing beauty, pink glass petals crack and refract aspects of different potentialities, an endless intermingling of what if realities reflected in a shimmering crystal flower in a jar in a fairytale that I tell myself.

do I look like summer to you?
do I look like something to prove?
I don’t look like summer anymore
I fell,
you score
-s’s.
I set my eyes forward, still
and pray
I sit alone, watch the streetlights decay
now my room is frozen black
Distant whistles of the train
I’m amused by hypothetical pain
I sit here and think of what I would say
I set my eyes on the wall
and pray
-s’s.
