My mind holds
discussions at night
(1) Of Travel:
Seeing different sights
Trying new foods
Exploring new places
Meeting people
that I've wanted to meet
in person
ever since I met them
online
Visas
and official travel documents
and necessary interviews
and medical certificates
(2) Of Love:
Friends around the world
the icon green on Skype
Yet instead of saying
"Hi"
I watch
and silently I hope
that you are happy or well
or succeeding
or content
or even just okay
People whose jackets
I would hide under
to snuggle
as close as possible
because I've never wanted
a hug as badly as I did
from those that
I've never physically hugged
Friends who are so cute
when together
I can't help but tease
and laugh
and squeal
and I want them to live
forever and ever and ever
And of worry
as I gaze out
towards tomorrow:
Will there be that
for me?
Or am I just
one of those
rare birds
that which are bright and important
yet of an
incompatible breed?
The friendships sustain me
but romance
leaves me yearning
for someone that can
make me smile
who I can make smile
as I've seen people do to eachother
(3) Of the unknown:
The future
both near and longterm
What time
will I get up tomorrow?
What will I do
next year?
Am I going to
achieve something
that I can be proud of?
Employment
or lack thereof
Or maybe to return
to an institute of sorts
for a qualification
So many paths
but I cannot bear to
confine myself to
one option
just as I
cannot not choose
and just drift in indecision
In Conclusion:
It's strange
that I am one person
yet can somehow
hold a discussion
(normally an activity
requiring multiple people)
without any problems
Yet I can
and I do
My mind holds
discussions at night
And I
cannot
sleep

(AN: There was indeed a rather large gap between the end of August/start of September. I went on a family holiday from the 29/08-2/09, and then was preparing for a competition on the 5/09. Consequently I had no time for poetry.)

PoetryThis is merely a collection of poetry that I decided to start. It contains works I've completed and will be added to as the year progresses. I wanted to see if I could write a poem a week, which will be especially interesting considering my fluctuat...
