after yesterdays poem
I wanna write something more hopeful today,
'cause that's what I am after all:
hopeful -
somehow,
even though I don't exactly hope for anything specific,
but I guess you could call it "hopeful",
I just really like to be dramatic for the poetry.

but lately to be real
I've just been watching -
watching the world go by
and watching what I use to call "myself" go by right in it.
I've been watching from above,
I'm both on the inside and on the outside of myself.

a realization caught me out of the blue
and left me in the next second,
but I wasn't sad.
I just watched it pass
like I learned to do with you -
I had the best teacher.

and I've been watching people live their lifes,
so identified
with their bodies and their mind.
and then I look into the mirror
and see nothing but my eyes -
those are the days when I have no more body and no more mind.

you know it's just that everything is temporary and everything will go -
except for the soul,
and that's the most beautiful and the only thing I sure know.

somehow this free verse piece slowly turned into rhymes, so I hope this still works out well.
I didn't feel like changing it up or edit it and to then have it lose the moment that it captured for me.

I hope you liked this one <3 leave a comment below if you'd like to and thank you so so much for reading!
