Oh pill… 

You put me to sleep

within an hour

I fall dead

between the claws of my anxiety

My mind is left troubled

as quetiapine circles my veins

I know i’ll fall into deep slumber

anyway

but the hardest part

is the morning

when I wake up in my own bed 

with demons laying beside me

like strangers I never slept with

so I sip my morning coffee

and take my time to digest

all the feelings that got canceled

by 12.5 mg of seroquel. 

Monster

How stupid was I

to hope for love

and happiness

in the same place I lost it

the place that stirred up

my ugliest feelings

and scariest faces. 

I let myself become a monster

while you watched me

passively

attack you with words

insults

even claws

and the worst part is

I am not even scared 

of the monster I have become. 

I unleashed my inner beast

and let you see 

how ugly I am

it’s a shame 

you never really got the best of me

yet 

I’m not even regretful

for the ugliness you tasted. 

I wanted you to hate me 

so that it’s easier for me

to let you go. 

A beautiful Mess

it’s an ugly

deceiving world

we live in 

ugliness roams

inside our hearts

my life is consuming me

like a cigarette

I burn between its lips

and I let burn

those who inhale me

I leave nothing but stains

inside their hearts

for I am a stain myself

locked up behind

a beautiful presence

and deep inside

I’m nothing but 

a beautiful mess. 

Rough day

I got a beagle, I named her Stella

she was 6 month old

and she’s been with me for 5 days now

and I’m already tired

I’m not used to running around and walking everyday

but I should get used to it.

If only, I can learn how to train her

or get help 

I want to be able to have time for myself without her being sad

She’s so cute and she always wants love and attention

even if i take her out with the kids and spend 2 hours running and playing

Love is the secret ingredient

You need an handfull of stuff

to bake a cake

but one secret ingredient

to make it special. 

And alone

this ingredient

is nothing by itself, 

just like that

love alone is nothing.

When your cake has gone wrong

when you forgot to add water 

or milk

Love alone

is not enough to make a relationship work. 

Not ready yet


Being with someone else

will only keep you on my mind. 

I will always compare, 

with feelings of dispair, 

Inside my head

there’s a place u belong

inside my heart

there are places that are shut. 

I live happily and care free

and at night, only at night

the ghost of you

comes along

and haunts my dreams

very happily.  

My mind is trying to ease my pain

by refabricating a beautiful image 

of the things we couldn’t be. 

Today I got a call from someone we both knew

someone who is upset with you, 

and it reminded me of how stressful you are

and i hate myself

for all the feelings I have

for you

despite all the pain I no longer go through. 

Danger zone

Maybe I should stop flirting with danger

Getting involved in risky behavior

turning into something I am not. 

All of this, then what? 

One mistake can cost a lot 

And the reward’s not even worth it. 

I see fake people

living our their fantasies

convincing us they’re real

while they’re just products of corruption. 

Nobody goes down this path and comes out happy

It’s only ugliness 

coated in fantasy. 

Processed Feelings

Yesterday I was on a camping trip,

We had fun, 

Illustrating, singing, playing guitar, 

setting up fire, smoking, grilling, 

preparing food, 

Socializing, making new friends,

everything was good. 

Except that bottle of PUCK

(puck is a lebanese cheese brand) 

it had something suspicious written on it: Processed Cheese

Bad marketing strategy… 

But later that night, around 5:30 AM

when I was desperately trying to find comfort in the tent,

trying to sleep,

my brain started processing all of my feelings, 

And after 1 month and 1 week of the breakup, I saw a movie of the whole relationship

And lots of feelings and thoughts hit me

It crushed my heart,

I went through your pics by accident today

It made me feel pain inside and discomfort… 

Nothing worse than processed feelings. 

Here’s a sketch I made when I was back in Paris….
