Either I want to loosen my grip
on the tether of control
Or I want to achieve
perfectionism.
A life through metaphors
Either I want to loosen my grip
on the tether of control
Or I want to achieve
perfectionism.
Your memories are so dearest
They make the present look lifeless
And future, much worse
I find it hard to believe sometimes
That I don’t receive the love
I give away in abundance
But then I am so bad at maths
I must have messed up the algorithm
More often than not
these late evenings
feels like a lump in my throat;
really hard to swallow
(P.S. The photo is clicked by me.)
I always look back at life
to acknowledge the progress i’ve made
But today when i look back
I notice everything has gone downhill
I guess it’s the first time i’ve realised
what progress looks like
Do you miss me too?
Or is it just me,
missing myself?
I think. I think a lot. I think now, i think then. I think about you, i think about me. I gave my thoughts the power to control me. Now i am not me. I am my thoughts.
I saw my future in a rancid dream. I saw myself falling. Hence, i befriended fear. So i shall do what it says. It tells me to not rise because falling comes with rising. Now i am not my thoughts. I am my fear.
Will it always be like this? What if it never changes? What if my fear doesn’t go away? Now i am not my fear. I am my ambiguity.
The feelings churn in my guts. I can feel them rising up my throat. My brows are getting tensed. I just might puke. Now i am not my ambiguity. I am my anxiety.
It’s not a foreign feeling. It’s there and then it’s not. I think it likes playing peekaboo. But when it’s gone, i know i won’t be my anxiety. I will be my depression.
Your untimely visit;
Even though anticipated,
Is a close call for
Trespassing.
I read about you
I relate,
And i get scared.
As if i am living through all of you,
One by one
And have no existence of my own.
You have very little to do
With what happens to you
But trust me,
It’s a lot to process.
