She gets the boys
I get the drinks
It’s Monday
I sip her drink
“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.”
– Anais Nin
I just wanted to fit in
Sometimes I imagine joining the faction
Oh shit I like you
But you ignore me
But
I don’t like pretence
So i will just remain silent
Stay small for your liking
Misplaced Priorities
I once liked a boy and he was so smart, kind and beautiful. At first I wasn’t into him but then I saw this side of him and I fell in love. I was used to being independent, leading this organisation and all. And then I misplaced my priorities because of the boy and I wanted to travel with him. I wanted to fly. Bottom line i lived in my head and I could say I lost touch of who I was at some point. You may ask, if things are back on track, I could say yes only because I realized too late that I was never his priority.
Mess
Knocked in
Knocked out
My head
A valley of trouble
Misfortune A day
Breathed in
Still not empty
Someone said focus
I heard refocus
Breathed in
Got lost again
Someone help
Am a mess
Misunderstood
Sometimes I feel like I found it
But then I start feeling lost again
And I want to run
Just to breath
Something
Anything
To feel welcome
Accepted
But I guess I have to keep looking
Until I find it
Because for now
I feel Misunderstood
What do you ache for?
“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.”
Unrequited Love
Chapter- Album by Yuna
Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something
But it’s like you have been swimming in the ocean
For a very very long time
And you feel like you belong there
You are one with the waves
The warmth of the water
And your body moves in sync with the ocean
And you swim around just trying to stay afloat
Then you get tired and you start to drown
And you swim back to land
When you get there you just feel so heavy
Because you lost touch with gravity for so long
And you collapse on the beach
As you try to find balance again
And then your feet finds gravity
You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time
And just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was
And how good it made you feel it was never yours for you to keep
And someday’s you will miss it, you know
And you feel yourself moving with the waves
And you dream of diving in
Then you realize your feet was meant for land
And not cut out for the ocean
Maybe you’re meant to climb trees
Or hike hills or just run really fast
Letting go is not easy
There is nothing quite like swimming in the ocean
Just like how it’s natural for your feet to find gravity
It’s natural for you to let go
And find your true purpose in life again
The sea is the sea
And you are just you
I have to let go
But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again

The high
I could smoke you right now
Just to get your high
Roll you up
Just to get your feels
