I lick everything

and I still can't make a choice --


what I feel like now.


Ik lik aan allesIch lecke alles
en nog kan ik niet kiezen --und doch kann ich nicht wählen --
waar ik zin in heb.worauf ich Lust hab.

I had to do it

but the choice I made felt like --


someone else's coat.


Het moest, maar de keusIch musste, aber
die ik maakte, voelde aan --meine Wahl war wie das Hemd --
als andermans jas.eines anderen.

Zywa Forgiven

I stayed
to finish work
the corridor is dark

with familiar lights
red and blue, vigilantly
the devices are blinking

It's the last time
I'm leaving, disappointed
I write everything down

and then I tear it up
the evidence
declared unneeded

my tears have dried
I have chosen
to be who I want to be, I

choose to live

 Acceptance of your own destiny and that of the person who treats you badly
 Dedicated to: Libby CF 
 Collection: Bruises 


Sometimes you have to

express out loud what you think --


to validate it.


Soms een gedachteManchmal musst du laut
hardop moeten uitspreken --ausdrücken, was du bedenkst --
dan is ze geldig.dann ist es gültig.
