Time went by, and my life still remains,
Silently my soul unveils the shadows
Of the burning feelings within my veins.
😒
A cat sits on an empty soul's lap.
The darkness prevails unraveled,
A river of tears calls for a nap,
The strength is graveled.
😒
The boat roams and I cannot swim,
Deep waters keep me drowning within!
😒
The dark is near, light seems far.
My deep fake smile it's almost a scar
Of those torturous moments of pain in the brain.
The wheel of time keeps going, and I stay the same.
😒
Life is not something good to go,
A warrior loses battles but never the war.
Yesterday's feelings were not long ago.
😒
Forget-me-not, dear light.
Embrace my darkness whenever it might
Overcome the smile always on my face.
😒
My smile is the stone left to turn.
I cannot be fine, but that smile is never gone.
😒
Darkness comes and goes,
Sorrow keeps my stones.
😒
I will keep the light, I might
Lose the sight for a moment despite
All the battles that kept me victorious.
Life is great at being inglorious!
😒
Today let me be, tomorrow I'll fight.
Another journey through victory will bring the light!

The Forsyth House Fire
Since 1851, Forsyth House has stood on the corner of Union Street and Gordon Street in the heart of Glasgow. Its iconic, or was... because on Sunday 8th of March, 2026, a fire broke out in a small, seemingly un-named shop in the building and tore all that history down. As I write, the rubble is still unsettled and the street is still blocked off. Central Station is quiet on the upper level, and around 30 small businesses have quite literally gone up in smoke.
