a magic? a curse? or both?

is it a good thing
that my mind won’t shut up,
because it can think
of a lot of possibilities
that can be brought to life?
or a bad thing,
because it won’t let me
have a peaceful night?

it always has something to say.
from the swaying curtains of the window,
to the direction where the ant was heading;
it always tells me to write something
about almost everything
that i will see around me.
it’s like, i’m the witness
of how the world works
like one of the men who wrote
the holy book.
i can write a whole chapter
by just observing how the rain
falls, but i don’t think
it is something
that i should thank for,
because it is exhausting.

i can’t really remember
when i last closed my eyes
gently to take a good rest.
i can’t remember the last time i
comfortably leaned on to something
to take a short break
from everything that i do
and think about.

or did i?

because it won’t just stop.
the thoughts won’t stop bugging me,
they always have something to say.
being a poet is indeed magic
and curse intertwined.
