Poezja

An enchiridion of all my experiences, feelings and general thoughts. Just a compilation of poems I've written in my spare time throughout the years, or ones I wrote three minutes ago and will regret in the morning. Whichever way, this is my outlet...

I am sixteen

and I am

dumb.

Because I let my gut

take the

wheel,

and strap my brain

in the backseat.

Because I believe

in success

and I believe

in amusement.

And I believe the two

are not

mutually exclusive.

Because I am left.

And because

I left

my doubts behind.

Because I think

I've figured out

"unconditionality",

but don't even understand

basic algebra.

Because my smile,

is shattered

and stitched,

but still brighter than

your flickering desk lamp

at 2 a.m.

Because I

smell colors

and I see feelings

and I feel scents

and I laugh.

Unapologetically.
