Hopepoem Stories

writing about hospital's waiting room

Just a poem I wrote out of mere boredom <3

Even when the world stops, keep going on... I wrote this around two or three years ago, on a really sad day. There I was crying and telling myself to give up, to quit, when a thought suddenly entered my head. "Keep flying high," it said. And then something clicked and I felt a poem coming over me. So I stopped studying for a bit, grabbed my phone, and typed the words. Then when I've read them, they kind of made sense. So I went back to studying which became easier. And I went on to graduate and pass the board exam with a score I was proud of. This poem often gave me strength and courage. I know I wrote it but it never fails to encourage me. On bad days, it is the one I go back to. I really hope I was able to express it well.

❝ who are you? no one. absolutely no one ❞ Messages strung up like poems. They don't know who sent them, but they know the sender is somewhere in outer space, describing a world both strange and unnervingly beautiful. "Nova" is a poem story speaking of aliens, unlikely friendships, and loneliness. And as the watchers on Earth decipher the what's, why's, how's, and where's, there remains the mystery of who.
