Wilting Plumegrass
While you decline to cry,
high on the mountainside
a single stalk of plumegrass wilts.
While you decline to cry,
high on the mountainside
a single stalk of plumegrass wilts.
The world outside cowers under nature’s wrath,
While words fail to appear,

I came across a weird train of thought the other day while watching a few kids be the happiest they possibly could be at the time – one that I’ve often entertained before. It’s not necessarily true but it often feeds anxious thoughts. It was that growing up takes away one’s liberty to make mistakes as responsibilities start cropping up. There’s nothing wrong with being wrong, but life isn’t as experimental as it was when I was considered a child.
Through this collaboration, I hope to emphasise on how mental health is something that we all experience in vastly different ways – it rarely feels the same for everyone.

Hoarse visions and misty revolutions –
Shrivelled, turbid and warm,
Drip down civilization’s neck,
Littering mausoleums
Of forgotten gold and silver.
I hold them close
And tell them slowly,
They are my friends
If they’ll ever know me
