Colourful Decades by Eli Oko
He thinks he knows me He thinks he truly understands how my mind works How reality is from my perspective But he will never know I cry from my heart. The veins behind my eyes burst before they even water And the colour of my eyes change I see red when I peer into my…

His Wall by Eli Oko
I found myself staring at his wall. And as I imagined what the other side looked like I was blinded by the everything’s and nothings I saw. It was cold as I stepped off the boat but it seems every journey I take unwillingly takes me to a destination I could only construct in my…
