Day 13 - Binge

 I lay awake after I tortuously rip apart

Our past, 

What did I do wrong? What could I have

Done differently? 

I hold every conversation a prisoner, questioning 

It again and again, 

Somedays I know that no matter what I did or didn't, 

The outcome will always be sour. 

I lay awake bingeing on memories and how much

Love my heart still holds for you. 

Will I ever be able to put this feeling down? Will I be able

To hold you? 

I did everything I could, except be brave enough to

Not let you go. 

Somedays I rejoice when I know that you tried to love

Me too. 

In a way, unknown to my heart, 

In a way, as broken as you are, 

In a way, where we tried to be each other's, 

Now our memories resurface when my heart is at rest

To remind how you have always been a part of me, 

And will always remain that way.

Bad art

Image
I have lived and breathed through my art, I have loved people in silence yet so loud with my art, I found the strength to forgive people through my art and I am learning to love myself through my art. The repressed emotions I had within myself found an outlet and I came to realise that it was normal. That it was normal to accept feelings I had been trying to hide for so long. I still wonder where I would be if I kept on believing that parts of me I disliked could never learn to love by itself. The distinction to call art good or bad feels like a limit, a limit to control the way we humans are capable of expressing ourselves. We are all in this together. Together in an effort to be understood.We all have our art. Art never has to be something that can be witnessed by others. It can be anything. It could be a feeling inside you, the crumpled paper in your room that has your words, strokes or melody, or simply your existence. It could be the way you hold someone, the way you help others t...

Starting anew

Image
     Hello, I hope everyone is doing well and feeling healthy. Lately, I haven't had time to write anything or feel anything deeply because life has definitely caught up to me. I used to think that I would look forward to being an adult and having responsibilities. But that doesn't seem like the case. I feel the pressure of having to exist in this society and creating an existence that means something. It is extremely time-consuming. I don't have time to completely embrace a happy moment because my work starts in 30 minutes. Or I can't cry my heart out because the gym closes in 1 hour and I can't miss another day. Or I can't talk to my friends because the assignment is due at 11:59pm. I mean, I understand that life is supposed to be like this? Oh wait, that's how we were taught it would be. But I want to break free. One day. Surely.    Meeting my share of 'good people' like I always do and pride myself on has been difficult for the past year. I have ...

Man on the moon

Pic credits: Bobbi Whiteman. To my Man on the moon  There are two things I am absolutely terrible at : directions and writing secret letters. And the irony of it is almost funny because I can't stop thinking about all the places I would go and all the words I would splash on a piece of paper to let someone know that I love them with all of my being. You have to take credit for the ignited hope in my heart that hasn't been washed down by my interaction with others and I would always be grateful to you for that. I do confuse myself sometimes. I remember the most strangest things about places. How the sun shines a little differently on the east side of the park, or how the leaves refuse to let out a scrunching sound on that particular lane because of all the shade, or how a wind blows as I walk down that small road from where I can see my home at exactly 6:26pm. I know it sounds all stupid, it probably might be but anything to hear you laugh. Seriously though, I got lost in a mall...
