Why does it always rain on me
when all I want is a little bit of sunshine
to heal the wounds that are bleeding
so I can see a better day.
It occurred to me that life
is always playing tricks on me
one moment I felt joyful
the next my body was on fire.
Why does it always rain on me
when all I need is a little bit of moonlight
to make updates to my tedious routine
so I can create a nicer week.
Each decision that I took
lead me closer to the life
that I dreamt of since ten
before breaking me again.
Why does it always rain on me
when all I wish is a little bit of starlight
to collect the tears that are pouring
so I can turn it into a greater month.
I felt like an atomic bomb
afraid I might wreck it all
as I held my breath to prevent it
I saw my life through a dome.
Why does it always rain on me
when all I desire is a little bit of daylight
to build my courage for future situations
so I can change it into a cooler year.
It seemed a total nightmare
to overthink the whole thing
that this life was testing me
to give me rest in Heaven.

A/N: I mean, it's much easier to say cheer up or it's gonna be ok than to actually sit down with them and listen to what's going on their minds and today's society really just encourages us to hustle, hustle, hustle rather than take it slow and have as much time you both need for a deep conversation. I guess my question is when was the last time you got to know someone on a deeper level and didn't have to go somewhere to end it or reschedule it for another day? When was the last time there was no work or social distractions for genuinely enjoying each other's company? To no end? To no see you soon or we'll talk about that later? What I want to say with all of this is quite simple(to me at least): when you have the time, the willpower and even good health to be with someone for more than five minutes, do not cancel it with something that is so-called better in social norms. Sit down with your parents and talk about everything that is going on in your life. Go on a coffee with a dear friend and talk about your fears, whatever they are. Call your siblings(or other relatives) and have a long chat about life and do not end the call with an I need to go to sleep, instead, you really made me think more about stuff, thank you for the advice. Just don't settle with five minutes to an hour being together, but a lifetime of tea and coffee parties to have a proper chat about what has been going on, how you are feeling and what gives you the most joy. It's vital and something we should focus more on to truly connect with each other.
Have a good rest of July!
With love,
M.
