take care of those you love, and love yourself too

Look at this photograph from 9 years ago, 
when the younger one was still a kid; 
when the family was whole 
because of all the fun things we did. 
How life changes over time, it's funny, 
you blame yourself for what didn't go right. 
You might feel like it, 
but you were not the reason for those fights. 
Sometimes, 
things go haywire when you uproot the anchor, 
you need to remember 
you are not at fault, 
no matter what you have been called. 
Take care of those you love, and love yourself too. 
It is easy to become half a person when your father leaves you.

acrylic paints and charcoal shades

Beautiful bright day. 
Daffodils and lilies. 
Light blue pond. 
A dead swan. 

Spicy flavorful food. 
Sweet and sour fruits.
A summer fest.
Emptiness. 

Soft pillows. 
Bouncy beds. 
Apparent cape. 
Please escape. 

Acrylic paints.
Charcoal shades.
Choke on tears.
Pain.
