Sapphirism

  For all the times that I fell down, When I was in a sea, about to drown. You changed the current, you swept the tide Fought the battle side-by-side. When life was downhill, down the slope When all I did was cry and mope. You gave me hope, a ray of light And showed that it was worth the fight. When I saw no options, my hands were tied, When I was giving up, the hope had died. You lifted me up with a pleasant smile, You taught me if I tried, I could go for miles. Now you are amid the stars that shine, Above the city lights, peaks and brine. You show me to be strong and keep shining bright, And search in darkness a ray of light.

I am stumbling in the dark, Speechless and afraid They think it's all in my head But this is too tangible, concrete. When I grow up, this too shall pass. When it passes, I'll grow But I'll be stunted and crooked, Because some wounds, when left untreated Leave scars that never heal. I don't know how to battle this, And I'm the only one who sees it. I know I'm at an impasse, But I don't know how to come out. I might seem calm, collected. But inside, I'm a storm. It's all swirling in my head Am I doing right or wrong?

You know that you are strong, You've faced what is pain. You know what it's like to be like this-- Cracking from the strain. Now that I'm facing this, Can't you just help me out? I thought that we were good friends, But you just sit there and pout. Am I truly a bad person? I don't know where I went wrong. Is it too much to ask of you, For me, can't you be strong? I thought what we had would be forever But now we're drifting apart... There's no wedge, no knife, no scissors What is breaking my heart? I don't know what to do now, Should I walk away or fight? Can I covet what we had before? What is even right? I don't know who I am now, I don't know who you are Now looking back, I can't believe Did we really go that far? Should I do something about this Or should I leave it be? Can I hope to achieve anything Or is it just hurting me? Maybe we never fought Maybe it was all untrue, But then why do I feel like I am losing you? Photo by  Anni Roe

The air around us is getting polluted more and more, Keeping it clean should be made a chore. The air is crammed with smoke and dust, The overflowing dump yards defile the crust. The rivers are blocked because of the trash, And we are suffering because we are rash. But rivers of chemicals and sewers are flowing, Mountains of litter can't stop growing. If we don't act now, we will act never, And our self-caused problems will engulf us forever. Photo by  Yogendra Singh  from  Pexels

The nature is full of dances and songs, Rejoice, be merry, and never do a wrong. Sing with birds and dance with trees, Be light, be bright and sway to the breeze. Nature is beautiful, serene and green. Let us join our hands and make it clean. Photo by  Nur Andi Ravsanjani Gusma  from  Pexels
