Day 22 - A poem that can make you laugh

Standing at an aisle, Deciding whether to save money Or buy something good for myself,  Feels like the biggest decision  Of my life, without realizing That I give more importance To the toilet paper I wipe my ass with Rather than realizing how  A piece of paper is controlling The whole of our lives.  Standing near the shore,  Contemplating whether I should Continue working or go mental,  Feels like the biggest decision Of my life, knowing deep down That I am taking the first bus  To work, because mentally I need money, even though My heart has settled like the waves dancing with the sky.  Standing in front of my wardrobe,  I wonder if I should impress the world Or just be kind to my body,  Feels like the biggest decision  Of my life, even when I know Nothing can ever fix the constant State of existential crisis that brews underneath.  Maybe this short skirt and plaid top Will put my worries to rest today.

Day 21 - Nocturnal

 Hearts coming alive At night, intertwined in your arms I forget how I ever believed  That I was alone.  At the peak of our nocturnal desires,  I lose myself and light a cigarette,  You tell me to come back to bed When my thoughts have rested.  With a slight caress, you tell me I am home,  With a small peck, you tell me I am yours.  And when dawn arrives, I find My eyes meeting yours,  Desperately wishing that  Nothing has changed.

Day 20 - A letter poem

 Dear you,  I sat by the window,  With my head down Heavy with thoughts of An uncertain future.  A love that lives far away,  And a mind frenzied By the distance.  I sat by the window,  Trying to keep my hopes up For I know without saving Myself, the world doesn't  Stand a chance.  Give me a hand, a push,  A tug, to stand tall Even when I say I am fine.  I sat by the window,  Raising my head up To watch the world shine,  Inviting me to join in  On this divine dance of chaos.  As tempting as it sounds,  I stay where I am, waiting for you,  For I need my calm before I indulge in the chaos of life.

Day 19 - Teleportation

 There are places I want to run to,  Where life is slow, and time Is meaningful and not something You wish would pass by in an office cubicle.  There are people I want to teleport to, Who I know will share my joy and sorrow,  Where I can go in and be a part of the  Conversation without a knock on the door. There are moments I want to teleport to,  Where laughter, love, and happiness filled the air,  Followed by a yearning nostalgia of how This moment will pass too.  There's so much love I want to teleport with,  To give it to different people who needed them,  And I had none to offer because I was too busy searching for myself.  There are so many stories I want to share,  Around a campfire, with people I love,  About how gracefully we have aged,  In a world that was so new to us.

Day 18 - Tiny acts of rebellion

 Creating space for making mistakes,  Learning to pick yourself up,  Letting people you once loved go,  Forgiving but not forgetting,  Celebrating yourself even after being misunderstood,  Crying when life gets tough,  Loving people despite being hurt by them.  Some tiny acts of rebellion Are needed to keep our soul alive In this selfish world.  Some tiny acts of rebellion Make you a human when The whole world refuses to make you feel like one.

Day 17 - The house plant

 More than a hobby,  Less than a lifestyle,  I keep you around to remind myself That I need the sun, Warmth from people and moments,  That I need water,  Tears to cleanse away the chaos of life.  That I need manure,  Funerals I attend for the versions of myself.  That I need air,  To believe that I can start anew after bad days.  And that I need space,  To grow into the life I always dreamt of.  More than a hobby or a lifestyle,  I keep you around  To believe in myself and How I deserve to be here.

Day 16 - Stillness

 I find you in the stillness I experience,  A coffee after a tiring day,  A heart-felt conversation with a friend,  A cigarette outside when the party's inside,  A comfortable space to zone out,  A feeling of not being judged in good company,  A walk alone in the woods,  A slight caress from your calloused hands.  I desire you more when I know I can't  Explain what I feel around your presence.  So much emotions go unexplained,  So many emotions being contemplated,  But I find music in you, when all we share is silence,  I find you among the stars, when my heart feels alone,  I find you right next to me, when feelings take over,  I find soothing familiarity in you, one that makes me  believe you were made to be mine.
