DAYS LIKE THIS

The dilemma.

DAYS LIKE THIS

There are days when my soul drifts between science and poetry

And in the end, decides to settle somewhere in between

Some say there is a silver thread between science and art if only you look closely enough

And sometimes though, I can't help but agree

But on days like this, when every line between everything blurs

On days like this when I watch his mouth contradict

Everything his eyes spit on me

On days like this words can barely encompass what I'm feeling

On days like this, I stammer in an attempt to speak about how I feel

On days like this, my hand fails to grip, and I drop my pen in an attempt to write

On days like this, I hope the words written make sense to all of you

On days like this.....

    Dharrsheena was my first real friend on Vocal. I would be lost if she stopped writing, though I have made other great friends who are just as precious. If you make just one, the rest will come. It takes getting older and wiser to realize that the things which we think are major upsets in our lives, are not. We ache, regret and move on to a stronger us. Focus on what makes you, YOU. The confidence to say 'I am the me that I want me to be' pushes you on becoming. I love that word, thanks Michelle. Never mind my musings, I see you as me when I first started. You will be greater yet.

  • It does make sense and it was very relatable. Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
