Sakura

My name is Sakura Rachael, I am 20 years old, and I am a mix of Japanese and American. I was born in Tokyo, spent my younger years in Colorado and California, and from middle school to current times I am in Thailand. Because of my upbringing, I've had a very international lifestyle and I've been able to experience much of the world, but much is still left to discover. I've been reading and writing since I was a little girl, but on August 2014, my father, who was my inspiration in life, passed away. This is my therapy. This is my way to heal, to develop into a greater writer that I know would make my father proud. I hope you enjoy :)

I had a dream

L I tried to scream But my head was underwater They called me weak Like I’m not just somebody’s daughter Coulda been a nightmare But it felt like they were right there And it feels like yesterday was a year ago But I don’t wanna let anybody know ‘Cause everybody wants something from me now And I don’t wanna let… Read more →

I’d rather be

I’d rather be the gentle breeze, the kind that makes people fill their lungs and talk about how beautiful the day is I’d rather be the hummingbird, darting from one place to another – always catching the admiration of the people who stare longingly out their windows I’d rather be the first snow of the year, dazzling and blinding crystals… Read more →

Obsessions

Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette Last night’s love affair is looking vulnerable in my bed Silk sheet, blue dawn, Colgate, tongue warm Won’t you quit your crying? I can’t sleep One minute I’m a little sweetheart And next minute you are an absolute creep We’ve got obsessions I want to wipe out all the sad ideas That come… Read more →

Forgotten

Home has always been Pine trees and snow With family gathered around you Happy to be enjoying the beauty of youth So young and naive So sure of family, so sure of the love So secure in the fact that If my friends fail, family will never give up Little did I know That friendships are one and few between… Read more →

A World Alone

We are born into this world With expectations towards those we were surrounded by at birth Depending, wanting, taking, demanding But in truth, we are alone As we grow, we slowly realize that Mom and Dad will always love us, but we have to let go of their hands and walk the path of life with our own strength that… Read more →

The End of You

I see what’s on your mind I see it all the time I can take a hit And you can take my body Just as long as I steal your mind Take it over, make you think My eyes are out of this world And my smile is stunning , a rare breed Keep feelin it, wait til you find… Read more →

Presence

What you seek will never be, As life and all the Gods, Only grant us what we need at just the right time in the crossroads of life When you are full of wanting and desire, you are no longer neither here or there, you want and demand based on our past while unknowingly creating our own future and you… Read more →

Chemical Reactions

Only in the haze of chemicals and bitter inhalations do the voices take a break from their typical shattering screams that dictate every breath I take and ever word I speak Every decision I make and every bond I try to create. The fog rolling through my brain gets me lost in a place Lonelier, but quieter. The muted self… Read more →

人生やり直しー

I had unknowingly created a whole universe meant to protect my fragile heart from all the darkness and impurities that I had so feared cloaked this world I did not realise that in my attempt to shield myself from all of the horror stories, whispered in lonely corridors between silently broken souls, too young to truly comprehend, never truly understanding… Read more →
