I like the clouds
Sometimes without even a hint of a sound
Just a subtle movement
Sometimes a roaring thunder.
I break like shooting stars
By the time you watch me I'd be
dead for millions of years already.
I will make you a wish
and you might hope I will carry it with me.
I break like a pearl necklace around
someone's neck
Snapping and scattering all the truths on the floor
in front of them and freeing the neck.
I break like a voice breaks
when a person is about to cry.
I break, but some days the way you break
doesn't matter
Because some days there's no one
to watch the sky
Maybe your best friend is scared of thunders
or just doesn't like the rain
Somedays there's no one to collect the pearls
Somedays there's no one to make a wish
Somedays you will gather the courage to speak
despite the lump in your throat,
Somedays the voice breaks.
But there's no one to listen.
