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.

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...
