The distasteful change

  I miss my old self

Young and naive

Before being consumed up

By the anxiety of this world

Like flames of fire

Engulfing a piece of yarn


I miss the little darling in me

With the purest heart

With high personal integrity

With that passion for doing good

Even when not seen or appreciated

Just for my heart to be at rest. 


I hate the way

Society showed me

that goodness nolonger counts

There's only room for the badass

Slowly my heart changed

To what I can't describe now


I'm now stuck

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Tied in an identity crisis

I don't know what to take up

Bad as society wants

or good as my heart says

Happy 26th birthday to me. Today I'm in no no mood of writing paragraphs, just a calm day, peaceful thoughts, a mind free from overthinking , worrying and regretting, just me and God .

Reading

  It's hard to turn to another page when you know your favourite character is not going to be in the next chapter. That's what makes reading abit troublesome. I selected the book thinking it was a comedy, it was my first book to ever read. Finally I had embraced reading. Everyone told me it was the best thing to do, but my fear wasn't exactly reading. I didn't know which exact book to choose. The rule was simple,one book at a time. What if I choose a tragedy? I was never prepared for the turnover of events midway. What if I fail to finish the book, and then I have to constantly wonder what happened next. And finally I did it. I randomly picked the best book from the shelf. It had a beautiful cover. I felt that it's the one I had always wanted to read first, even from childhood. Off we go, the first chapters were the best, fell in love with one of the characters. It was the best book, day and night reading out loud.  And one beautiful day my worries came true. Wait, ...

Hope

  Just shortly after having lost hope, you surfaced in my life.  You brought hope back to an abandoned house, just like a tree planted by the riverside. You rekindled the ray of happiness in my heart.  You made me forget all those that were holding me back My heart rejoiced with ecstasy My lips smiled endlessly Thinking about you was refreshing like taking ice cold water. You made me forget those who intentionally played with my heart, and broke it into pieces. Waiting for the day, when I'll finally look straight into your eyes, and tell you, "I love you." And I'm imagining the happiness in my heart as you reply, that you love me too.

Appreciation. 🙏🙏

 I know we suddenly stopped talking with each other and I stopped chasing you and we became strangers. To tell the truth, I'm beginning to accept that it's what it is. There are some things that we can't force to happen just to make it happen, even though I desperately wanted this to work even once for my genuine love would be reciprocated. I already knew in the first place that it would end up like this if I took the risk, but I'm still thankful for the lessons I've learned not only in love; but also in life. Loving you made me feel my worth. You are the reason I can open my heart again enough to express how grateful I am. Having those conversations that we had made me feel comfortable with you, it's like we had the same vibe. Thank you for making me happy and opening my heart and taking a risk. You showed me a lot of things. Hoping the best for you and I'll see you around.
