Perennial Poetry

  Embracing Change I tell myself it’s okay, I tell myself it’ll be alright, I try to quietly survive the day, Hoping I won’t cry again at night. Will the scary nights ever go away? Will my thoughts ever stop haunting me? They start with one and long they stay, Why are they still daunting me? I forget the days I was happy and free, When I fall back into the mental turmoil; Why do I feel so unlike me? Can I ever untangle out of this coil?

Breathless, this thought is taking up all my energy, All my parts are trying to work to maintain the synergy. But seems like it’s a choice I have to make, Hence, I choose my heart, whatever it may take. Slowly I start to gain my breath, And maybe what’s slowly developing is faith. My energy is growing, and glowing, untouched; This is ...

  👤Plethoric Perturbations😨 Have you ever experienced, Something you didn't know, Until you went on with it, unhinged, And finally uncovered it with the flow? Is it right to ask yourself, Or anyone else, if you're worth it? Or are you strong enough to believe in yourself, To tell yourself you can do it? Does it really matter if it is small or big, As long as it’s a wish to be fulfilled? Your eyes break tears like you break a twig, Your whims change suddenly, and then most of them stay unfulfilled. Is it all that happens in the background, The things that no one knows about? That reflects as your reality in the foreground, While ignorant heads turning to ask, “What’s all the chaos about?” Could you care less when you are not okay? Or need you still pretend to have a pleasing face? “Why are you behaving that way?” is all they say, When it's only for the moment you want to keep a straight face.
